dutchmen in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed（消费）at least an ounce（英两）of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.the dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. heart disease is the number-one killer in the united states, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. but previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than americans do. there are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the eskimos of greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the japanese, whose daily fish consumption average more than 3 ounces.for 20 years, the dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. at the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.during the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. the fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the japanese or eskimos. this relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol levels.68we can

hardest decisions we have to make. one important question that you might ask yourself is: how do i get a good job?_71_. there are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. _72_. he used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. his father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. one day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. _73_._74_. if the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. it is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. when you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. _75_. and within a year this person had become general manger of the company.athis story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.bpeople find jobs in an infinite number of ways.cits almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers dtake for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.班级 姓名 考号 _uuuuuu
