There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A Eu

16、ropean woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68 Are womens bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4. 5 minutes. Womens speeds are always slower than mens, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers

17、today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21. 2 seconds when she was only 16 The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller.

18、n that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙 ) injections.

23、atisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and edu

24、cation facilities. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78) We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay fo

25、r future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and st

26、ill is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our

27、own society. 21 What we need in life is divided into _ according to this article. （ A） the basic necessities and luxury （ B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses （ C） four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense （ D） the basic necessities and reliable

31、 basic necessities （ D） can say every family must have one 25 Increasingly, over the past ten years, peopleespecially young peoplehave become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, the

32、re has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂 ) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in orga

33、nic (有机的 ) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amo

34、untbut not the qualityof foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场 ).

Al though a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the

37、 quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fib

38、er is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and v

39、egetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare.
