THE FITTEST DO LIVE LONGERA study has shown that fitness is the key to long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits.Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not, even if they areoverweight and smoke.The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely todie within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men hadheart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and activethan skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, You are better off smoking a packetof cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary. Although he adds,But dont misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is tobe sedentary.However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight.The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce high levels of sugar in food andto restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nations health.

Fast-food restaurants, one minute bedtime stories, microwaveovens, quick freezers, instant noodles(面条), automatic dial buttons on the telephone, the remote controlof a television, e-mails, the Internet, all these have caused a speed-up in the pace of peoples life. Thesedays it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once, if youdare. Not long ago, for most people, listening to the radio was a single-task activity. Now it is rare for aperson to listen to the radio and do nothing else. Even television has lost its command of our attention.In so many houses the TV just stays on, like a noisy light, while the life of the busy family passes backand forth in front of it.In the technology-driven Western world, the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring asense of tension about time. People believe that they have little time. They wish they had 48 hours aday. American culture views time as a thing to be kept and saved. Timesaving is a subject often talkedabout and discussed. Books with such titles as Streamlining Your Life; Take Your Time; More Hoursin My Day are always best sellers. People have talked and wanted many ways to “save time”. But whatdoes this concept mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done? If so, does talking on a mobilephone at the beach save time or waste it? If you can choose between a 30 minute train ride, duringwhich you can read and a 20 minute drive, during which you cannot read, does this drive save tenminutes? Does it make sense to say driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removingten minutes from your reading budget?These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill formed: the very idea oftimesaving. Some of us say we want to save time when really we just want to do more and faster. Itmight be simplest to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it, how tospare it, how to use it and how to fill it.Time is not a thing we have lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in. 1). According to the passage, what characterizes life today is that we _.A. are all in a rushB. live at a breakneck speedC. save a lot of timeD. feel time is pressing正确答案：D 满分：2 得分：22). In the sentence, These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once the phrase all at once means all _.A. immediatelyB. at the same timeC. quicklyD. instantly正确答案：B 满分：2 得分：23). The author believes that the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension _.A. about timeB. among peopleC. with more things to doD. both A and B正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：24). The author _the American idea that time is a thing that can be kept and saved.A. believes inB. does not believeC. is doubtful aboutD. is certain about正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：25). The best title for this passage is _.A. Can We Save Time?B. What Is Time?C. The Idea of TimesavingD. The Importance of Timesaving正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：24. Telecommuting(远程办公)Its 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, hereads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article heneeds to write Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this?
