always be remembered for portraying “superman,” the greatest role of actor christopher reeves life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord （脊椎） injuries and an advocate of stem cell （干细胞）research.unlike the man of steel, he wasnt faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldnt leap tall buildings in a single bound. but the courage and determination reeve displayed in trying to overcome his paralysis（瘫痪）from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.“he became a real-life superman. his heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” colin blakemore, the chief executive of britains medical research council said. “like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, christopher reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”reeve, 52, died of heart failure on october 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. but in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, established the christopher reeve paralysis foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.he also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and alzheimers and parkinsons disease.“he has been our champion. if you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of christopher reeve,” said paul smith, executive director of the spinal injuries association in england. it is because of reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to smith. the fact that it happened to reeve showed it can affect anyone, even superman.reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. the research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.41. which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of reeve?a. strong-willed and caring b. tough and persuasivec. caring and

foods higher in potassium（钾）are less likely to have strokes and die than women who eat less potassium-rich foods, according to new research in the american heart association. “previous studies have shown that potassium consumption may lower blood pressure. but whether potassium intake could prevent stroke （中风） or death wasnt clear,” said smoller, professor of the department of population health at albert einstein college of medicine, bronx, ny. researchers studied 90,137 women, aged from 50 to 79 for an average 11 years. they looked at how much potassium the women consumed, as well as if they had strokes, including ischemic strokes （缺血性中风）, or died during the study period. women in the study were stroke-free at the start and their average dietary potassium intake was 2,611 mg/day. results of this study are based on potassium from food, not supplements.the researchers found: women who ate the most potassium were 12 percent less likely to suffer stroke in general and 16 percent less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke than women who ate the least. women who ate the most potassium were 10 percent less likely to die than those who ate the least. among women who did not have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 27 percent lower ischemic stroke risk and 21 percent reduced risk for all stroke types, compared to women who ate the least potassium in their daily diets. among women with high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a lower risk of death, but potassium intake did not lower their stroke risk. “our findings suggest that women need to eat more potassium-rich foods. you wont find high potassium in junk food. some foods rich in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans.”the u.s. department of agriculture recommends that women eat at least 4,700 mg of potassium daily. “only 2.8 percent of women in our study met or went beyond this level. the world health organizations daily potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3,510 mg or more. still, only 16.6 percent of women we studied met or went beyond that,” said smoller.while increasing potassium intake is probably a good idea for most elderly women, there are some people who have too much potassium in their blood, which can be dangerous to the heart. “people should check with their doctor about how much potassium they should eat,” she said.the study was observational and included only elderly women. researchers also did not take sodium （钠） intake into consideration, so the potential importance of a balance between sodium and potassium is not among the findings. researchers said more studies are needed to determine whether potassium has the same effects on men and younger people.50. the benefits of potassium intake to elderly women do not include _.a. preventing strokes b. reducing heart attacksc. cutting down death risks d. lowering blood pressure51. which of the following figure meets the daily potassium intake recommendation of the world health organization?a. 4,000 mg b. 3,500 mgc. 3,000 mgd. 2,500 mg52. what conclusion can be drawn from the research findings? a. increasing potassium is definitely a good idea for all elderly women. b. elderly women with high blood pressure benefit more from potassium.c. potassium intake is more beneficial to those without high blood pressure.d. there was not any association between potassium intake and ischemic strokes. 53. it can be learned from the passage that _.a. results of the research were based on potassium from medicineb.
