Dont run less often. Dont run less distance. And dont be persuaded by under powered medical studies a habit that

11、really could harm your health. I say this in response to a recent study suggesting that too much strenuous jogging shortens your life. The conclusions, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, have received wide attention this week.Lets start by taking a closer look at what th

12、e study actually says. The researchers asked Danish runners about the speed, frequency and duration of their workouts, categorizing 878 of them as light, moderate or strenuous joggers. Ten years later, the researchers checked government records to see how many of them had died. Happily, only 17 had.

13、 While this was good news for the surviving runners, it was bad news for the researchers, because 17 was clearly too few deaths to discern whether the risk of death was related to running intensity. Nonetheless, the study claimed that too much jogging was associated with a higher mortality rate. It

14、is based on 40 people who were categorized as “strenuous joggers among whom only two died. As Alex Hutchinson of Runners World wrote, “Thank goodness a third person didnt die, or public health authorities would be banning jogging. Moreover, the researchers do not even report whether those two deaths

15、 were from causes that could plausibly be related to running. Indeed, none of the comparisons between those who run a lot versus a little, frequently versus infrequently, or fast versus slow, were statistically significant, even after adjusting for potential factors like age, gender, education, diab

16、etes, smoking and drinking. The researchers acknowledge this lack of significance, but confounded the issue by pointing to a different question. Instead of focusing on the differences between light, moderate and heavy joggers, they ask instead whether each group of runners had a lower death rate tha

17、n an altogether different group, a separate sample of 413 non-runners. There is even less to these findings than meets the eye, as the researchers did not compare runners with non-runners. Just as important, other evidence suggests that running, like other forms of exercise, benefits health. There m

18、ay be an amount of running so great as to damage health, but, if so, its probably far greater than four hours per week. Mr. Hutchinson, a physicist-turned-writer, has concluded, “Running an hour a day is certainly no less healthy, and probably a bit healthier, than running less. Armed with that more

19、 accurate assessment of the science, I hope to see you on the running trails.21. What is the structure of this passage? a. organize opposite findings and confirm the idea b. put forward the authors suggesting idea c. gather facts to analyze the experiment d. reveal the result of the recent medical s

20、tudy A. b d c a B. b a c d C. d c b a D. d b c a22. According to the passage, the following can prove the recent study unconvincing EXCEPT_? A. The study didnt explain the exact cause of two deaths among strenuous joggers. B. The American College of Cardiology isnt the authority in medical study. C.

21、 There are no comparisons for controlled factors and potential factors. D. The study excluded the differences between runners and non-runners.23. What does the author really try to express? A. People are easy to believe what they want to hear. B. Mortality rate was highest among those running most.

22、C. People should get a sense of what we are learning. D. Running is a habit good for peoples health.BWhat is great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decide

23、s? These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack 平庸的 writers with little or no literary ability. Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the

24、 other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the "real" painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called "

25、;real" painters are now barely remembered.So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be

26、the situation today. Critics often dont recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art. But popularity, it seems t

27、o me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently 内在的 beautiful.Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the thre

28、e often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure. 24. The author used the first paragraph to_.A. arouse readers curiosity and serve as a leadingB. introduce some real painters to the readersC

29、. raise the questions the writer wants to answerD. explain what kind of art will become popular25. The author used the examples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to show_.A. these masters works have some shortcomings and meritsB. these masters wouldnt have been so successful without the c

30、riticsC. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first createdD. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive26. According to the passage, great works _.A. may be presented in different formsB. are usually thought highly of by criticsC. are thought valuable because o

31、f their sale priceD. will become valueless if theyre not acceptedCSix months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old peoples home She was sitting in the living room with about 15 other residents, mostly women, half of them asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures, and

32、 the care assistants were kind and cheerful. A general knowledge quiz show was on the television and the only other sounds were snoring and embarrassing digestive noises. People moved only when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. Gran talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchil

33、dren, but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there and, to be perfectly honest I couldnt wait to get away myself.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young in an increasing number&#

34、160;of countries. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, families that have mov

35、ed away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with

37、160;in many societies.That's why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and

38、60;international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volun

42、young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience 

43、to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law. Lasting friendships often develop. But it isn't only the indivi

45、60;a world where the number of old people is increasing, we need as much understanding and tolerance as possible. Modern Western society has isolated people into age groups and
