He heard someone shouting, “Help! Help! Stop thief!” The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (没有带枪). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustnt let the men escape, but how could he arrest them?He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.He drove his car up to the men and stopped beside them. Then he put his head out of the window and asked, “Do you want a lift?”“Yes, yes,” the men answered, and quickly got into his car. “Please take us to the railway station,” they told him.“Very good,” the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out,“But this isnt the way to the railway station. Where are you going?” “I must go this way,” the police officer explained. “Theres a big fire and the traffic is held up. You dont want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?”“No, no,” the men agreed. “Please take us the quickest way.”The next moment, the police officer had pulled up at the police station. He jumped out, shouted for help, and seconds later the two thieves were arrested.1. How did the police officer decide to try to arrest the two thieves? A. By telephoning the police for help. B.

Soon after the two thieves got into the car they found out that _.

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.1.
