Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:A happier heart Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoas chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症）.Better blood pressure If yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly.Muscle magic Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout（锻炼）.

C Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling around the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving (潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel(频道) has at least one home or garden improving show and theres even a satellite channel completely about the subject.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britainan Englishmans home is his castle and theres no place like homeshow how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people cant afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders (梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers(锤子). So I wont be going down to the hardware store.29. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?A. Visiting his friends. B. Diving.C. Travelling around the world. D. Making his house beautiful.30.

B. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY.C. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea.D. not to climb ladders or use hammers. D A Good Nights SleepSleep plays a very important role in good health and well-being throughout your life. While youre sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good nights sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good nights sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So youd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help reduce damage from too much sugar floating around.Its also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set body clock. Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that its time to sleep.Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures , calm yourself down and keep yourself from feeling tense(紧张).Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good nights sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all use different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around.The recent research is pretty clear that a good nights sleep in a major component of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.33. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage? A. When to start a good sleep. B. How to get a good nights sleep. C. What to do with sleep problems. D. Why to form a good habit of sleeping.34. According to the author, before going to sleep, youd better _.
