I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees 42.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I

25、r risk of obesity than those by car. But driving your youngsters to the gates could also cause their academic work to suffer.Researchers found children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, had poorer concentration levels than those who took a more active route such as walking or

26、cycling.The joint study by researchers at two Danish universities found the regular exercise could advance a student up to half a year in their studies. Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had

27、walked or cycled.The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis(假設(shè)) originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils ability to concentrate.“The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has about four hours l

28、ater,” Niels Egelund, a co- author of the report said. “The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercise.”“As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone hal

29、f a year further in their studies,” he added.In the survey, taken by 19, 527 pupils aged five to 19 years old, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.“Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, b

30、ut it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long,” Egelund said.Previous research from the university of Montreal has found that exercise helps our brains make better use of oxygen. It may also reduce mental fatigue(疲勞) and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And last week Swedish re

31、searchers said they found that muscular boys will live longer than their weaker friends.And even if they are overweight by the time they get to adulthood, those with stronger muscles tend to live longer.51. What is the best title of this passage?A. Exercise Refresh you B. Exercise Look slimC. Exerci

32、se Live longer D. Exercise Learn faster52. Which of the following is NOT the result of the research from the University of Montreal? A. Exercise helps our brain make the most of oxygen. B. Exercise can make you sharp- minded. C. Exercise can improve the level of concentration. D. Exercise can decrea

33、se mental fatigue.53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct? A. Having breakfast and lunch has a greater impact on concentration than having exercise.B. Children driven to school perform worse in all tests.C. Eating breakfast and lunch can affect childrens ability to

34、 focus.D. Having exercise can refresh us but it doesnt last long.54. Children driven to school performed badly in their academies work because .A. they are too lazy B. they are not healthy C. they are not focused D. they are not smart BThe meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，

35、to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishesSoup then will be served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplingsIf you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the

36、 Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at allPerhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guestsIn formal dinners，there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purp

37、ose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticksThis is a sign of genuine friendship and politenessIt is always polite to eat the foodIf you do not eat it，just leave the food in the platePeople in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumedWhen you hav

38、e had enough，just say soOr you will always overeat!55The main difference on dinner table between China and West is _. Ayou have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes. Bon Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork. Cyoure treated to a formal dinner for

39、the first time. Dthe host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.56If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served in China? aa set of four cold dishes. bstaple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings. cthe main courses of hot meat and vege

BChinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks. CPeople in China tend to over-order food

41、，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. DChinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.58The sentence，in Paragraph 2，“you should say so in good time” means _. Ayou should say so early Byou should say so happily Cyoud better say so Dyou should s

42、ay so kindlyCIs carrying a few extra pounds into your senior years healthy? Advice has been mixed. Now, two studies published this month attempt to better define the ideal weight for fitness and longevity for adults over age 60.The main point is that you dont need to worry about being slightly overw

43、eight, as long as that extra weight is maintained at a consistent level. However, being very overweight is detrimental to health, and exercising to lose body fat and to gain muscle mass is always beneficial.Determining the ideal weight for older people has been a pursuit, with researchers looking fo

44、r what weight is not too thin, but not too fat. Studies have suggested that being slightly overweight can be protective. For example, a 2001 study by researchers at Yale University found that moderately overweight senior adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 two points higher than the BMI of 25

45、that defines being overweight lived longer than seniors who were either thinner or heavier. Theres a fine line here, though, because carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other diseases. And, according to the researchers behind the two new studies, the general public ha

46、s misinterpreted the Yale findings to mean that being very overweight is healthy.One new study, published this month in the American Journal of Epidemiology by researchers at The Ohio State University in Columbus, found that seniors who maintained a stable, slightly overweight status survived most p

47、robably over the 16 years surveyed. Those seniors who had a so-called healthy weight going into the study (a BMI between 18.5 and 25) and who gained weight, but stayed below BMI 25, had a slight possibility of surviving over the study period.People in the obese group, with a BMI higher than 35 and w

48、ho continued to gain weight, faced the worst among all the groups in the study. But next-to-last were normal-weight people who lost weight, but this was likely because they became sick, the researchers said.The second study, appearing this month in the journal Obesity, was conducted by researchers a

49、t Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., and supports intentional weight loss among senior adults. Whether weight loss is beneficial has been debated because of this concept that being overweight is protective.In short, the researchers found that physical activity and weight loss

50、 for overweight and obese adults resulted in lower cardiovascular (心血管) disease risk and improved mobility. This finding supports previous studies demonstrating that exercise builds muscle and bone strength, improves balance and coordination, prevents falls and enables seniors to enjoy a more active

51、 lifestyle, they said.Hui Zheng of Ohio State, the lead author of first study, said that the negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people.59. The underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. importantB. fundamentalC. harmfulD. helpful60. As for the 2001 stu

52、dy, the general public wrongly think that _.A. it is healthy and protective for people to be very overweightB. people with a BMI of 27 or more are classified as overweightC. senior adults with a BMI of 27 lived longer than those either thinner or heavierD. carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for

53、many types of cancer and other diseases61. What can we learn from the two new studies?A. Its difficult for seniors who have a so-called healthy weight to have a long life span.B. Its most dangerous for normal-weight people to continue to lose weight.C. The two studies are based on and in agreement w

54、ith previous studies.D. The second one recommends overweight and obese adults work out and lose weight.62. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people. B. Being slightly overweight may bring some health benefits for seniors.C. It is

55、 harmless for overweight young people to continue to gain weight.D. People at a healthy weight should intentionally put on extra weight.DIt might not come as a surprise that China fell behind Western countries in a recent UN report on global happiness. China was only ranked 112th happiest country ou

56、t of 156 in the UNs World Happiness Report in April.The happiest country, it seems, is Denmark, closely followed by three more northern European countries- Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands.But apart from income and lifestyle differences, there are also cultural reasons for this divide. They show

57、 that Chinese people and Westerners have different perceptions of happiness.According to a survey conducted by CCTV, income levels most affected Chinese peoples sense of well- being (55.5 percent), followed by health (48.9 percent) and quality of marriage or love life (32 percent).It seems that all

58、these criteria are lagging(落后) in China, and that the obvious explanation for greater happiness in the West is higher incomes.But not so, says Professor John Helliwell, an American economist at the University of British Columbia and coauthor of the UN report.According to Helliwell, low-income indivi

59、duals may experience an initial jump in happiness when their money increases, but this feeling decreases as they adapt to their new circumstances. He stresses the example of the US, where, despite GDP figures rising consistently for the past 50 years, happiness has been steadily declining.This is be

60、cause people desire more than money and material wealth. “To be happy, we need to feel connection, trust and meaningful relationships,” explains Helliwell. Dr Deborah Swallow, a UK expert on cultural diversity however, believes there are some differences in the perceptions of happiness in the West a
