the latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. the largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“we have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpool john moores university in the uk.“within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said goldspink. “this is part of the ageing process.”what surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. a healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“this gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said goldspink. they studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “the team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said goldspink.the good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.31. the underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to a. health b. long life c. ageing d. effect32. the text mainly talks about _.a. mens heart cells b. womens ageing processc. the gender difference d. hearts and long life33. according to the text, the uk scientists have known that _.a. women have more cells than men when they are bornb. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatc. the female heart loses few of the cells with aged. women never lose their pumping power with age34. if you want to live longer, you should _.a. enable your heart to beat much faster b. prevent your cells from being lostc. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy d. find out the reason for ageing35. we can know from the passage that _.a. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outb. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsc. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossd. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20cpaul received an automobile from his brother as a christmas present. on christmas eve when paul came out of his office, a street boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “is this your car, mister?” he asked. paul nodded. “my brother gave it to me for christmas.” the boy was astonished. “you mean your brother gave it to you and it didnt cost you anything? boy, i wish.” he hesitated. of course paul knew what he was going to wish for. he was going to wish he had a brother like that. but what the kid said made paul quite surprised.“i wish,” the boy went on, “that i could be a brother like that.” paul looked at the boy in astonishment, and then impulsively he added, “would you like to take a ride in my automobile?”“oh, yes, id love that.”after a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “mister, would you mind driving in front of my house? paul smiled a little. he thought he knew what the he wanted. he wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. but paul was wrong again.“will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked. he ran up the steps. then after a little while paul saw him coming back, but he was not coming fast. he was carrying his little crippled brother. he sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. “there she is, buddy, just like i told you upstairs. his brother gave it to him for christmas and it didnt cost him a cent. and some day im going to give you one just like it. then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the christmas windows that ive been trying to tell you about.”paul got out and lifted the kid to the front seat of his car. the shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.that christmas eve, paul learned that it was more blessed to give.36. why did what the boy said surprise paul?a. because he didnt say what paul had expected. b. because he said something impolite.c. because he didnt say that he wanted a ride. d. because he said something improper.37.which of the following is false according to the passage?a. the boy had a brother who was disabled.b. pauls brother gave him a car at christmas.c. paul had thought the boy were wishing for a brother like his.d. the boy wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride in a big car.38. what does “she” refer to in paragraph 6 ?a. the steps. b. the automobile. c. the girl. d. the woman. 39. which of the following best describes the boy?

and how about searching for the nearest exit when your father dances with joy when he finds his favorite cd in the shop? loving them dearly doesnt prevent you from feeling uncomfortable around them. and parents have to accept that adam gopnick, a writer for the new yorker magazine, said in an article published by the bbc: the one thing that is written into the human genome (基因组) is that exactly at the age of 13, your child will discover that you are now the most embarrassing, ridiculous and annoying person on the planet. a survey by the site youngp in 2010 suggested that one in three youngsters is so disconcerted by their parents that they refuse to be seen with them in public; and seven in ten children are humiliated (感到羞耻的) by their mum and dads behavior, like kissing them in front of friends and holding their hands. part of going through adolescence is a sudden feeling that we are wise and self-sufficient and we are embarrassed when treated like vulnerable babies. but we are bound to lose this discomfort when we reach our 20s. gopnick reminds us of writer william blakes comment: when i was 14, my dad seemed to be so silly that i wouldnt even walk down the street with him. by the time i was 21, i was amazed how much hed learnt. in any case, dissatisfied parents might feel comforted in the thought that their grandchildren are likely to end up enjoying their company. then the uncool (落伍的) ones will be the grandchildrens parents! 41. according to the passage, which of the following deeds will make a teenager feel bad? a. his parents ask him to do housework.b. his parents show up in the public. c. his parents hold his hands before his friends. d. a child reaches the age of 13. 42. the underlined word “disconcerted” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_. a. sick b. disappointed c. frightenedd. embarrassed43. why do some children feel humiliated when their parents kiss them in front of friends? a. because they dont show enough love for their parents. b. because they dont want to be treated like children. c. because their parents are embarrassing, ridiculous and annoying. d. because they want to grow up. 44. what does william blakes comment suggest? a. his father had learnt a lot about parenting when he was 21. b. his father changed a lot since he was 21. c. he began to appreciate his father when he was 21. d. his father stopped doing the embarrassing things to him. 45. what is the main idea of the passage?
