not true our study shows that hereditary factors don t play a major role and that lifestyle has the biggest impact says professor Lars Wilhelmsen referring to the 1913 Men Study that formed the basis of the current research Those who did not smoke consumed mild amounts of coffee and had a good socio economic status at the age of 50 measured in terms of housing costs as well as good physical working ability at the age of 54 and low cholesterol 胆固醇 at 50 had the greatest chance of celebrating their 90th birthday We re breaking new ground here says Wilhelmsen Many of these factors have 4 previously been identified as playing a role in cardiovascular 心血管的 disease but here we are showing for the first time that they are important for survival in general He believes that it is significant that the research illustrates so clearly that it is the sum of our own habits that has the biggest impact The study clearly shows that we can influence several of the factors that decide how old we get says Wilhelmsen This is positive not only for the individual but also for society as it doesn t need any major drug costs The study has been published in the Journal of Internal Medicine The 1913 Men study started up in 1963 A third of all male 50 year olds in Gothenburg were called for a check up that focused on cardiovascular health Every ten years since a new group of 50 year olds has been called in and those who were already taking part in the study have been given another check up This has enabled researchers to follow the development of illnesses in a specific age group and to compare the health of 50 year olds in 2003 with that of 50 year olds in 1963 for example Women have also been included in the study since 2003 Data have been studied over the years including BMI 体质指数 smoking habits cholesterol exercise habits and blood pressure The men born in l913 were examined when they were 50 54 60 67 75 and 80 Of the 855 men who took part in the study from the start lll 13 were still alive at the age of 90 Over the years the material has brought out many research articles An interesting result came in 2008 when researchers were able to show that the drop in the number of smokers combined with lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure between 1963 and 2003 could offer an explanation for the marked downturn in the number of heart attacks 5 during this 40 year period 59 Which of the following statements is true A Socio economic status determines how healthy we are B Cholesterol plays an important role in keeping us alive C The amount of coffee consumption has an effect on our health D How long we can live depends on how long our parents lived 60 The 1913 Men Study helps us to realize that A we can do something to lengthen our life B we don t 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 women 61 The earlier men involved in the 1913 Men Study were examined in for the second time A 1917 B 1967 C 1923 D 1973 62 From the article we can infer that A more men than women are in the habit of smoking B scientists began to study men s habits in the year 1913 C women tend to Live a longer life than man because of their good lifestyle D heart attack is related to smoking cholesterol take in and blood pressure 6 C 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 slug s 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 plants 7 These 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 measures 63 According to the passage the wise way to deal with slug problem is that we should A apply as many kinds of commercial repellents as possible to the plant roots B sacrifice some plants and keep semi decayed plant matter as food for slugs C employ all possible gardening techniques to get rid of slugs completely D protect the garden from slugs by keeping it in a clean and tidy state 64 Commercial slug repellents are not advisable because they A do chemical harm to the top soil of a garden B make chemical fertilizers not so effective C make products not so healthy for eating D they help slugs reproduce more quickly 65 Which word can be used to complete the structure of the passage 8 A plantsB mouldC nutrientsD poisons D 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 it s good to see you again It was good to see Marci too Very often during the past few decades I ve 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 chance We spent a few minutes talking about the business of our lives kids and grandkids husbands and houses education and recreation It s 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 together Then Marci grew quiet for a moment looking out over the crowd walking about the marketing area at the stadium You know Joe she said I ve always wanted to tell you how you know how 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 It s OK I said No big deal At least I thought to myself not now But I was so stupid she continued 9 Yes you were I thought We were both pretty young I said I know she said But that s no excuse for She hesitated then continued It s just always bothered me remembering how mean I was to you And I ve wanted to tell you that I m sorry So I m sorry The smile on her face was warm and sincere and there was something in her eyes it looked a lot like relief that melted any remains of icy barriers that may have built up within me during the years since she had played Wif fle ball with my heart OK 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 slight that have been inflicted 打击 upon us by others The healing balm of forgiveness can calm a troubled conscience and bring peace to an injured soul even years after the fact Of course it isn t enough to just say I m sorry and You re forgiven While there is indeed great power in those simple wo
