In contrast the risk rose only rose by 40 per cent for those with type O. The association between heart attacks and pollution in patients with non-O blood isnt something to panic over, but it is something to be aware of,” said Dr Benjamin Horne, a clinical epidemiologist(流行病学家) and lead investigator of the study from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City. “In the information we provide to our patients about pollution, we try to stress that they can do something about it to reduce their risks: Stay indoors out of pollution. Exercise indoors.”Air pollution in Britain is thought to contribute to around 40,000 early deaths a year, according to the Royal Colleges of Physicians and of Paediatrics and Child Health.Recent research by the World Health Organisation found that 44 major UK towns and cities now breach WHO guidelines on air quality with particulate levels so high they cause six million sick days each year.Safe levels of air pollution are generally considered to be under 20 micrograms per cubic metre, but during levels of high pollution, the PM2.5 count - the measure of small particulates in the air - raise to around 60 micrograms per cubic metre. In London it has been known to rise to 197.The study found that for every additional 10 micrograms over 20, the risk to people with type A, B, or AB blood increased by 25 per cent, but only by 10 per cent for people with type O.Around 55 per cent of people are A, B, or AB and they are thought to be at greater risk of heart problems because their blood contains greater quantities of a clotting agent.21. Which of the following is CORRECT? A. When pollution hits high levels for people of type A, B, or AB blood, the risk of a heart attack or chest pain doubled compared with the people of type O. B. When pollution hits high levels for people of type A, B, or AB blood the risk of a heart attack or chest pain rose only by 40 percent. C.

Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students laziness and proficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary Schools in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading. Read and Ride is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes. It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has dedicated(专门)exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments. Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the programs academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at much lower 41%. Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as Read and Ride. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement can not all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. Thats because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates(刺激)brain cells helps prepared it for learning. So dont be surprised to find more schools the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.28. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School? A. Kids excise balls in the classroom B.

What is the authors attitude towards this program? A. Neutral B. Negative C. Doubtful D. PositiveD To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700smost of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her fathers house had been the “introduction this wonderful new fruit-or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an ”evil fruit”.But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820,people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead.” What are you afraid of?” he shouted. ”Ill show you fools these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.32.
