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. 56. it can be learned from the passage that _.a. results of the research were based on potassium from medicineb. researchers gave different amounts of potassium to the elderly women c. elderly women need to keep a balance between sodium and potassium intake d. the effects of potassium intake on men and younger people are not yet known57. the authors purpose for writing this passage is to _.a. present a report on a new researchb. show the importance of a good life stylec. give information about a chemical elementd. encourage elderly women to take potassium cwhen i was young, i went looking for gold in california. i never found enough to make a rich strike. but i did discover a beautiful part of the country called stanislau. like heaven on earth, it had bright green hills and deep forests where soft winds touched the trees. by the time i arrived, the charming paradise had been deserted because miners good luck didnt last. then, i realized i was not alone after all. a man was smiling at me as he stood in front of his little house. its front yard was full of blue and yellow flowers. white curtains hung from the windows and floated in the soft summer wind. still smiling, the man invited me inside. my spirit seemed to come to life again. i saw a bright rug on the shining wooden floor. and on little tables there were seashells, books and china vases full of flowers. a woman had made this house into a home. the delight in my heart showed on my face. the man read my thoughts. “all her work.” he said affectionately, “nothing here hasnt felt the touch of her hand.” one picture on the wall was not hanging straight. he went to fix it. he stepped back several times to make sure the picture was straight. then he gave it a gentle touch. “she always does that,” he explained, “it is like the finishing pat a mother gives her childs hair after she has brushed it. i dont know why i do it. i just do it.”as he talked, i went to a little black-walnut shelf that held a small picture of the most beautiful creature i had ever seen. there was a sweetness and softness in the womans expression. the man stared at the picture. “nineteen her last birthday. that was the day we married. when you see her.ah, just wait until you meet her!” “where is she now?” i asked. “oh, she is away visiting her parents. this is wednesday,” he said slowly. “she will be back on saturday, in the evening.” that night, i stayed. the man told me his name was henry.thursday evening we had two visitors, tom and joe. “we just drop over to ask when little madam is coming home. any news from her?” “oh yes,” the man replied. “a letter.” he took a yellowed letter out of his wallet and read it. it was full of loving messages. while reading, he glimpsed his friends and cried out, “oh no, you are doing it again, tom! take your hands away and let me see your eyes. im going to tell her this time!” “no, you mustnt do that, henry,” the grey-haired miner said. “i am getting old. and any little sorrow makes me cry. lord, we miss her so.” saturday finally came. i was glad to see his two friends, tom and joe, with guitars, coming down the road as the sun began to set. they put the flowers they brought in vases and began to play some fast and lively songs. henrys friends kept giving him glasses of whiskey. when i reached for one of the two remaining glasses, tom stopped my arm. “drop that! take the other.” he whispered. i did so. henry was served last. he had hardly swallowed his drink when the clock struck midnight. his face grew pale and paler. “boys,” he said, “i am sick with fear. help! i want to lie down.” henry was asleep almost before the words were out of his mouth. in a moment, those handy men had his clothes off and tucked him into his bed. they seemed to be getting ready to leave. so i said, “please dont go, gentlemen. she wont know me. i am a stranger.” t
