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 are overweight and smoke.The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, You are better off smoking a packet of 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 to be sedentary. However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 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 and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nations health. But the new study suggests the Government should encourage more people to exercise.1).

Critical .正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：23. I had two jobs growing up and they all helped shape my life. When I was about 12, I started caddying (当球童) at a nearby country club. All the kids in the neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot. I got to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy. They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting. The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was exciting. Id start bringing them different kinds of shoes and get right down there and put them on their feet. If they didnt like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to a pair they might like better. It was like stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that store, I was going to bat and taking a swing. I never wanted to let a customer get out of that store without buying a pair of shoes to his satisfaction. This job helped teach me an important business lesson: You have to take risks in business. If you take a risk and fail, get up to bat and swing again.1).

Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea they say it will slow traffic.
