Austria, people asked the obvious question. “Why did she live to be 107?“ Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men an
19、d women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those
20、 interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking . Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local su
21、permarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, city people often have no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars. 41

To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one s family
26、and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited(继承)a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A man s positi
27、on among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.A man can protect his family s honors by being brave and gener
28、ous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her famil
29、y depends upon her virtue(美德).46 The best title for this passage can be_.（A）Life of the Bedouin People（B） Women s Position in the Bedouin Family（C） Bedouin People s Idea of Loyalty and Honor（D）How to Guand honors47 The Bedouin people think most highly of one who is_.（A）devoted to his country and his

34、did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then worte many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where mad men were kept. In 1895. Hearst came to New York form California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He
35、also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price to a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper headings(标题)were bigger than anyone else s.

42、en so and bought goods.
