26、r of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CIn todays society , language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.Many different studi
27、es show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study
28、 it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes - 7 -describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to unders
29、tand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Mens body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other peoples body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back
30、 when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck
31、in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The ques

35、gender, different languageDDogs really are our best friends, according to a Swedish study that says pet dog ownership could reduce heart disease. A study of 3.4 million people between 40 and 80 found that having a dog was associated with a 23% reduction in death from heart disease and a 20% lower ri
36、sk of dying from any cause over the 12 years of the study. Dog owners show better responses to stress (their blood pressure and pulse rates dont get high), and have higher levels of physical activity and slightly lower cholesterol(胆固醇 ) levels. The American Heart Association (AHA) was sufficiently s
37、wayed (动摇) by a review of dozens of studies to release a statement in 2013 saying that owning a dog “was probably” associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Their unwillingness to more strongly approve dog ownership is because most studies are what is called observational-researchers note an
38、association, but cant prove a cause- and-effect link. This means that other factors might explain why dog owners are healthier than, say, goldfish owners-for example, perhaps only people who are fit in the first place buy pets that need daily walks. Tove Fall, an epidemiologist and the lead author o
39、f this latest study, says they tried their best to allow for any differences in education, existing ill-health and lifestyles between those with and without dogs. The study found the biggest positive impact of having a dog was on people living alone. “It seems that a dog can be a substitute for livi
40、ng with other people in terms of reducing the risk of dying.” says Fall. “Dogs encourage you to walk, they provide - 9 -social support and they make life more meaningful. If you have a dog, you interact more with other people. If you do get ill and go into hospital and you have a dog, theres a huge
41、motivation to try to get back home.” Of course, getting a dog and watching it from your sofa while you eat fatty food is not going to reduce your risk of heart disease. And a toy dog may look cute, but wont have any effect either. 32. The AHA is cautious about the statement because _ A. owning a dog
42、 doesnt actually reduce heart disease B. related studies dont provide any observational proof C. a solid cause-and-effect relationship hasnt been found D. dog owners in the studies are much healthier than others 33. Who may benefit most from having a dog, according to Tove? A. The ones who suffer fr
43、om bad disease. B. The ones who lead a meaningful life C. The ones who stay with no relatives D. The ones who have huge motivation 34. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. fatty food is a big cause of heart disease B. cute dogs dont help cure heart disease C. resting in a sofa increases ris
44、k of diseases D. owning a dog has nothing to do with health 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Dog Ownership Leading to Happiness B. Owning a dog, Less Heart Problems C. Healthy Lifestyle with a Cute Dog D. Dogs, humans Best Friends Ever 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文
