But doctors are seeing another trend that is disturbing. Some people are choosing lifestyles that result in early dea

19、th. A new US study looks at four lifestyle choices that prevent people from staying healthy and living longer. It used to be rare for people to live to 100. But babies born in the US today can hope to live that long. In the 20th century, life expectancy in wealthy nations increased by as much as 30

20、years. Average life expectancy for Americans is 78. But doctors are seeing people adopt bad habits that can cut their lives short, such as eating too much or eating too much junk food, exercising too little and smoking cigarettes. These habits increase the risk for cancer, heart disease and stroke.

21、Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Washington wanted to find out how many years are lost with these lifestyle choices. “What we found was that high blood pressure, smoking, overweight account for five years of loss of life expectancy in men and about four years in women at the n

22、ational level,“ Goodarz Danaei, one of the principal researchers said. The researchers broke down the data into race, income and location, and they found even greater differences. Middle-income whites have the best blood pressure. But Asian-Americans have fewer bad habits and the best health. “They

23、are not getting heart disease because of low blood pressure, they are not getting cancer because they have low risk factors for cancer, including smoking,“ Danaei said. 36 Some peoples early death is the result of their_. （ A） life expectancy （ B） genes （ C） lifestyles （ D） hobbies 37 Babies born no

24、wadays in the US can be expected to_. （ A） live to 100 （ B） live less than 100 （ C） live 30 years longer （ D） live to 78 38 What will be the result of exercising too little and smoking cigarettes? （ A） They cut peoples lives short. （ B） They do no harm to peoples health. （ C） They certainly lead to

25、cancer. （ D） They certainly lead to heart disease. 39 High blood pressure, smoking and overweight can lead to_. （ A） four years of loss of life expectancy in men and five years in women （ B） five years of loss of life expectancy in men while four years in women （ C） five years of loss of life expect

26、ancy in men and women （ D） nine years of loss of life expectancy in men and women 40 Compared with Asian-Americans, middle-income whites have_. （ A） fewer bad habits （ B） the best health （ C） the best blood pressure （ D） lower risk for cancers Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The

27、5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 “Avoid the rush-hour“ must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Whenever you look, its people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, its so full that it cant t

28、ake any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to l

29、ive such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the “privilege“ of living in a city. Th

30、e demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn (鄙视 ) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country. In addition to

31、all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, theyre not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs? 41 It can be learned from the first parag

32、raph that_. （ A） city inhabitants can not take buses in rush hours （ B） city inhabitants can not bear the traffic conditions of cities （ C） city inhabitants pay more attention to traffic conditions （ D） city inhabitants are willing to bear the crowded condition 42 In the passage, the author mentions

34、n cities （ D） the constant threat 44 The main idea of this passage is that_. （ A） there are many disadvantages of living in cities （ B） peoples preference for living in cities is wrong （ C） the living conditions of cities are worse than those of countries （ D） measures should be taken to improve the

35、 living conditions in cities 45 What is the authors attitude towards living in cities? （ A） Unconcerned. （ B） Critical. （ C） Sympathetic. （ D） Envious.

Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our body. T

37、here are on the market all kinds of vitamins which one can take to make up for ones lack of certain important things that are needed for good health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food we eat will take care of our body and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamins unless our do

38、ctor tells us that our bodies are short of something that can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our body, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay too little attention to others, we may have too much of one kind and not enough of others. Then we m

39、ay be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary proteins. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food
