In American only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these old people arent alone. The people who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Andes Mountains, seem to share the secret of long life, too.First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical work as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam is 142 years of age. He has experienced several wars. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Rustam doesnt want to stop his work as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” He asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now he might work for 6 hours in the field instead of 10.Another factor(因素) that may contribute（有助于）to the good health of these people is their isolation. Most of them are kept off the modern world.Inherited(遗传的) factors also help. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. So good families genes(基因) may be one factor in living longer.Finally, although these three groups dont eat exactly the same food, they eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.21.Which of the following contributes to the good health of all these long-lived people?. A. Fresh air in the mountains.B. Hard physical work. C. Good family genes.D. The same food.22. What does the underlined word “isolation” mean in Chinese? A. 自我封闭 B. 与世隔绝 C. 独立 D. 淡薄 23. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Good HealthB. The Old People in the Mountains. C. Long-lived PeopleD. The Secret of Long LifeBChicago is next to a big beautiful lake, Lake Michigan. In the summer Lake Michigan is warm and blue. People lie on the beaches and swim in the water. In the winter Lake Michigan is cold and gray. Snow covers the beaches, and ice covers the water.On a cold January day, a little boy and his father were playing in the snow on Chicago beach. The boy was Jimmy Tontlewicz. He was four years old. Jimmy was playing with a sled(雪橇). He pushed the sled down a small hill. The sled went onto the ice of Lake Michigan. Jimmy ran after the sled. He ran onto the ice. Suddenly the ice broke, and Jimmy fell into the cold water. Jimmys father jumped into the water. He couldnt find Jimmy. Minutes went by. He still couldnt find Jimmy. Firemen arrived. Twenty minutes later they found Jimmy and pulled him out of the water. Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating. He was dead. At the beach paramedics(医务辅助人员)worked on Jimmy for an hour. He began to breathe, and his heart began to beat. The paramedics rushed Jimmy to the hospital.Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in bed. They put him on a cold mattress(床垫) because they wanted his body to warm up slowly. They gave him some medicine because they wanted him to sleep. After eight days in the hospital, Jimmy woke up, but he couldnt walk or talk. So he went on staying in the hospital for six weeks. Every day he got better. Then he went to another hospital. He stayed there for seven weeks. He began to walk, talk, and play again.Jimmy was in the water for more than 20 minutes. He couldnt breathe in the water. He couldnt get any oxygen. But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible? Jimmy is alive because the water was ice cold. Usually the brain（大脑）needs a lot of oxygen. But when its very cold, the brain slows down. It doesnt need much oxygen. So the ice cold water saved Jimmy. Jimmys father has another reason. He says, “Jimmy is alive today because he is a fighter(战士).24.Which one is the right order according to the story？a. Paramedics worked on Jimmy for an hour.b. Jimmy began to walk, talk, and play again.c. Jimmy fell into the cold water.d. Jimmy was sent to the hospital quickly.e. Jimmy woke up, but he couldnt walk or talk.f. Firemen pulled Jimmy out of the water.A. c-f-e-d-a-b B. c-f-a-d-e-b C.a-c-e-b-f-d D. a-c-f-e-b-d25.Why can Jimmy be alive according to the last paragraph？ A. Because he slept for a long time. B. Because he is a fighter.C. Because the water was ice cold.D. Because he was sent to hospital quickly.26. Which is the best title for the story? A. A Dangerous LakeB. A Strong Little BoyC.

Every morning Andre sits in his neighborhood caf(附近酒吧) and reads the flat ads in the newspaper. He draws a circle around each ad for a flat that looks good. Then he goes to the telephone to call the owner.“Hello. Im interested in the flat near the park that is in todays paper,” he says. “How much is it?” When he hears the answer, he says, “Oh, my goodness! Thats too much!” The same thing happens every day.One morning Andre sees a friend in the caf. He tells him about his problem. “I have a good idea, Andre. I know a 90-year-old woman who has a beautiful flat. You can pay her something every month until she dies. Then you can move into the flat. It will be yours!”Andre is excited. He thinks to himself, “How much longer can such an old lady live? We can probably have the flat in a few years.” He and his wife, Marie, go to visit Mrs. Calment. The flat is just what they want. It is large and sunny, and it is near the centre of town. It even has a view of the park.Andre tells Mrs. Calment, “We will pay you $500 a month, and you can stay here for the rest of your life.” She is very happy. She says, “I really want to stay here. This is my home. Now I dont have to move to my nieces(侄女) house in the country.”They sign a contract（签了份协议）that says that Andre and his wife will pay Mrs. Calment $500 every month. When she dies, the flat will belong to Andre and his wife.More than thirty years go by. Jeanne Calment is still alive. She is 121 years old, the oldest person in the world.
