8、 of five golden girls says the key to longevity(长寿 )is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while youre at it. Even though an estimated 70, 000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age, it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one plac
9、e. The average life-span(寿命 )of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party.

10、ne. “I think thats just sad. Aging is attitude and I dont feel old, “said Leaver, a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.

Fishing,
25、 boating, hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease(帕金森氏病 ). “For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had
26、lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖 ). I only went out during peak times, when I was looking and feeling my best. But that wasnt often and I really couldnt do much of anything. I felt like the life I loved was over, ”said Wayne. Then Waynes doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgica
27、l option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation(刺激 )(DBS). DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinsons disease, essential tremor and more. It is not a cure, but significant improvement is seen in most
28、movement disorder cases, with relatively low risk to the patient. In addition to his doctors recommendation, Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. His friends experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home
29、in Crivitz, Wisconsin could be well worth the effort. And was it ever. “It was the best thing I ever did.

They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as mans best friend can even find bladder
34、(膀胱 )cancer. Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors(气味 ). Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine(尿 ). The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans. The study follows reports of cases where
35、, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the let of its owner. The mole(痣 )was later found to be skin cancer. Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bl
36、adder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people. Each dog was tested eight times. In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell. The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker spaniels(短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬 )
37、were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent. As a group, the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times. That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone. T
38、he British Medical Journal published the research. In all, thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part. During training, all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the persons
39、 right kidney(肾 ). Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer. 36 The experiment was conducted
40、in a （ A） private home. （ B） training school. （ C） hospital. （ D） police station. 37 The dogs average success rate was （ A） 56% （ B） 41% （ C） 22% （ D） 54% 38 Participants in the experiment were （ A） 36 bladder cancer patients. （ B） 144 cancer patients. （ C） 108 healthy people. （ D） 144 sick and heal
41、thy people. 39 The person who had tested healthy before the study （ A） dropped out. （ B） passed away. （ C） was found to have cancer. （ D） was found to remain healthy. 40 Which is NOT true of bladder cancer? （ A） It is the 9th most common cancer worldwide. （ B） It can be identified only by dogs. （ C）

43、h. Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves? It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Wome
44、n no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesnt expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children. But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to a
45、bandon their independence. In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate (心上人 ) was constrained(限制 ) by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged. N
46、ow those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎 ), you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl. But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter con
47、straint: the tyranny of choice. The expectations of partners are inflated(提高 ) to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression. We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isnt, it is disposable
48、. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership. 41
49、 What does the recent poll show? （ A） It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband. （ B） It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family. （ C） It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife. （ D） It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse. 42 Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple? （ A） The wife doesnt have to r
