ASocio-economic status determines how healthy we are BCholesterol plays an important role in keeping us alive CThe amount of coffee consumption has an effect on our health DHow long we can live depends on how long our parents lived60The 1913 Men Study helps us to realize that Awe can do something to lengthen our life B we dont need to take drugs for our diseases C we can always predict how long we can live D we need to balance the numbers of men and women61The earlier men involved in the 1913 Men Study were examined in for the second time A1917 B1967 C1923 D197362 From the article we can infer that_ Amore men than women are in the habit of smokingBscientists began to study mens habits in the year 1913 Cwomen tend to Live a longer life than man because of their good lifestyle Dheart attack is related to smoking, cholesterol take-in and blood pressureC Many people believe that the common garden slug【鼻涕虫） is nothing more than a pest that should be wiped out In attempts to beautify their yards, people employ various poisons, strategically chosen plants, and gardening techniques Success is attained when no trace of slugs can be found, although the worn-out gardener still watches and waits for their return, as completely ridding a garden of slugs is almost impossible Experts, however, have discovered that the slugs evil reputation as an enemy of home gardeners may, in fact, be groundless to some degree Although it is true that a slug can devour【吞食） garden plants from the roots up in amazing quantities, it also produces nutrients（养分）for the soil, which help other plants grow The diet of a slug consists of plant waste and mould, as well as living plants, making it a sort of natural recycling center The unique structure of a slug digestive system enables it to take these discarded（弃置） products, transform them into the nutrients that plants need, and then release those nutrients harmlessly as wastes To some, this situation is unacceptable No gardener wants to sacrifice his or her plants just to gain a few nutrients that could easily be provided by fertilizers(化肥）In order to achieve a balance, both slug and gardener may have to compromise some things One relatively easy step is to separate plants with high slug appeal from those with low appeal That way, the sections of the garden spared for plants with high slug appeal can contain plants that the gardener is willing to sacrifice so as to protect those plants that have a lower slug appeal Another possibility is to leave some ground-covering plants in a less tidy state, since slugs particularly enjoy semi-decayed (半腐烂的)plant matter The slugs will then be drawn toward this decaying matter instead of toward the living plantsThese measures may seem slow and difficult but they are still preferable to commercial slug repellents （驱虫剂） for several reasons The topsoil of a garden is often highly lacking in nutrients, due to chemical damage caused by just such products The fertilizer industry sells millions of pounds of dirt mixed with the nutrients necessary for a healthy garden every year Yet these are the very same minerals that a healthy slug population would provide at no cost Moreover, since slugs find newly dead slugs highly appetizing the slug population is unlikely to decrease significantly as a result of these severe measures63According to the passage, the wise way to deal with slug problem is that we should _ , Aapply as many kinds of commercial repellents as possible to the plant roots Bsacrifice some plants and keep semi-decayed plant matter as food for slugs Cemploy all possible gardening techniques to get rid of slugs completely Dprotect the garden from slugs by keeping it in a clean and tidy state64Commercial slug repellents are not advisable, because they_ _ Ado chemical harm to the top soil of a garden Bmake chemical fertilizers not so effective Cmake products not so healthy for eating Dthey help slugs reproduce more quickly65Which word can be used to complete the structure of the passage?AplantsBmouldCnutrientsDpoisonsD Joe? Is chat you? The woman speaking to me at he baseball game looked somewhat familiar, Marci? It IS you ! she exclaimed, smiling broadly God, its good to see you again ! It was good to see Marci, too Very often during the past few decades, Ive wondered about her, I almost tried to reach her a few years ago after talking to a shared friend, who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci So, running into her at the baseball game was, at the very least, just happening by chanceWe spent a few minutes talking about the business of our lives: kids and grandkids, husbands and houses, education and recreation Its always a little upsetting to see how few words are required to summarize 32 years of living We played a little have you seen? and did you know,? And we recalled the good old, bad old days we used to spend togetherThen Marci grew quiet for a moment, looking out over the crowd walking about the marketing area at the stadium You know, Joe.” she said, Ive always wanted to tell youhowyou knowhow sorry I am for the way I treated you Hearing that, I felt I was suffering extreme embarrassment One does not like to remember when one has been rid of by others roughly and suddenly Its OK I said No big deal At least, I thought to myself, not now But I was so stupid: she continued Yes, you were. I thought We were both pretty young: I said I know, she said But thats no excuse for She hesitated then continued Its just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you And Ive wanted to tell you that Im sorry SoIm sorryThe smile on her face was warm and sincere, and there was something in her eyes, it lookeda lot like relief that melted any remains of icy barriers that may have built up within me during the years since she had played Wiffle ball with my heartOK:I said Apology accepted! Overcome by the sweetness of the moment I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it . We all carry bitter, discomforting memories of deeds done or undone, and words said or unsaid And we all bear wounds some slight, some not so slightthat have been inflicted(打击) upon us by othersThe healing balm of forgiveness can calm a troubled conscience and bring peace to an injured soul, even years after the fact Of course，it isnt enough to just say “Im sorry,” and Youre forgiven While there is indeed
