study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.for their study, the researchers looked at two groups. the first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. this group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. we will call this group the “cyclists”.researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. the other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. the people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. we will call this group the “non-exercisers”. smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. they tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. for example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. also, their body fat did not increase with age.the researchers also found something they had not expected. the study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.the researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.28. how did the researchers carry out the study?a. by comparing. b. by discussing. c. by imagining. d. by reasoning.29. which of the following is a result of the research?a. the cyclists kept a thin body shape. b. the non-exercisers gained weight easily.c. the cyclists muscles remained strong with age. d. the non-exercisers usually had health problems.30. which is an unexpected result for the researchers?a. the cyclists had normal aging process. b. the cyclists immune systems didnt age.c. the cyclists lost nearly all their fat. d. everyone needed an exercise in their lives.31. which of the following can be the best title for the text?a healthy people need more exercise b. take an exercise, the harder, the betterc. cycling is the best way to prevent aging d. a lifetime of exercise slows aging processda study showed that fat was socially catching among friends. people were actually making one another gain and, sometimes, lose weight. the finding has been proved in other populations. so how does friends body weight affect each other? one way is imitation (模仿). brain scans show that when you watch someone else eat or run, your brain activity is the same as if you were eating or running yourself, causing you to do the same things.people in experiments seated next to heavy eaters would eat more than those seated next to light eaters. social examples also play a role: if your friend gains weight, you might become less willing to go to the gym because your friends example showed you that weight gain isnt the end of the world. shes heavier but still the same person you know and love. and now that 66 percent of the american population is overweight, thats a pretty well-fixed social example.happily, this effect could be turned up side down if people worked to create an opposite social exampleweight loss can affect each other just as easily as weight gain if you form the fat-fighting habits, starting a running club including friends of friends so that youre making close friends with more exercisers. you can also make healthier food choices and eat with greater self-control. if you give up the fries and eat more vegetables, your friends are more likely to make the same choices.if youre thinking those sound like a lot of work, maybe it would just be easier to ditch friends who gain weight to stop them from affecting you. people who kept away from a fat friend didnt lose weight, possibly because the cost of losing a friend stopped weight-loss efforts.32. what will people in the experiments do if they eat with heavy eaters?a. hate them. b. leave them. c. follow them. d. lose weight.33. how might people respond to their fat friends according to the text?a. go to the gym with them often. b. think nothing of becoming fat.c. warn them the danger. d. like them better.34. what can you do to make good use of the discovery?a. set a good example for your friends. b. make up your mind to make more friends.c. set up health club as a business. d. drink more water.35. what does the underlined word “ditch” in the last paragraph mean?a depend on. b. relieve in. c. watch over. d. give up.第二节
