26、ey would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week, according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende on Monday. Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalets Center for Muscle Research show

27、ed that physical exercise can boost the bodys ability to utilise insulin by 30 per cent, the newspaper reported. This is equal to the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today, it said. Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type II, all more

28、than 60 years of age, exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months. After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked. Associate Professor Dr. Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said th

29、e tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilization as the healthy non-exercising persons. “This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups. Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes, but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms. At the sam

30、e time it can put off the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment, “ Dela was quoted as saying. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes. Dela said that to achieve the desired effect

31、diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat, but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise. Most diabetics realize that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise, D

35、nsulin. 35 According to Dela, among most diabetics the importance of exercise is_the importance of watching their diet. （ A） as poorly understood as （ B） as well understood as （ C） less understood than （ D） better understood than 35 Corporations A corporation is a firm owned by one or more individua

36、ls who own shares of stock that define ownership and rights to profits. Liability is limited to the value of corporation assets. Although corporations constitute the smallest category of business organization in the United States, they conduct most of the business. In 1998. corporations accounted fo

37、r just 19 percent of the total number of firms in the economy but 90 percent of total business revenuers. From these numbers we can infer that many large firms are corporations and that this form of business organization possesses certain advantages over the proprietorship and the partnership in con

38、ducting large-scale production and marketing. In a corporation, ownership is divided into equal parts called shares of stock. Shares are the equal portions into which ownership of a corporation is divided. If any stockholder dies or sells out to a new owner, the existence of the business organizatio

39、n is not terminated or endangered as it is in a proprietorship or partnership. For this reason the corporation is said to possess the feature of continuity(连续性 ). Another feature that makes the corporation radically different from other forms of business organization is share transferability the rig

40、ht of owners to transfer their shares by sale or gift without having to obtain the permission of other shareholders (股东 ). For many large organizations, shares of stock are traded on a stock market such as the New York Stock Exchange. Other corporations, however, are smaller, and their shares are tr

41、aded so seldom that they are not even listed on formal stock exchanges. The shares of these firms are traded by independent stockbrokers(股票经纪人 ) on the over-the-counter market. Share transferability is the most economically important feature of the corporation; in fact, share transferability is one

42、reason for the origin of the corporation. It allows owners and managers to specialize, increasing efficiency and profitability in the firm. Owners of stock in a corporation do not need to be concerned with the day-to-day operations of the firm. All that owners need to do is observe the changing pric

43、e of the firms shares on the stock market to decide whether the company is being competently managed if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the company, they can sell their stock. Managers, on the other hand , specialize in reviewing the day-to-day operations of the corporation. Still anot

44、her feature of the corporation is limited liability. Corporate shareholders are responsible for the debts or liabilities of the corporation only to the extent that they have invested in it. Many investors prefer investments in which their risk of personal loss is strictly limited; the amount of dire

45、ct investment in corporations is therefore increased as a result of the limited liability involved. 36 What is this passage mainly about?_ （ A） The concept and features of corporation. （ B） The difference between corporation and other forms of business organization. （ C） The advantages corporations

46、possess. （ D） The formation of a corporation. 37 One difference between a corporation and a partnership lies in_. （ A） scale of operation （ B） profitability （ C） amount of funds （ D） feature of continuity 38 In the case of a corporation, the right to transfer shares is_. （ A） illegal （ B） legal （ C）

47、 flexible （ D） inflexible 39 The passage implies that the price of the firms shares is an indication of its_. （ A） performance （ B） earnings （ C） size （ D） profits 40 One defining feature of the corporation is_. （ A） profitability （ B） credibility （ C） efficiency （ D） share of transferability 40 Com

48、mon-cold Sense You cant beat it, but you dont have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold“ because its more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesnt have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses, and, at least so far, medical science is

49、better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one. Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They havent had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses. There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you n
