But when a team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported a few weeks ago that middle-aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10-year span (全長) as men with wives, the espoused and the spouseless alike stooped to take notice. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes and it made people feel smug ( 自鳴得意)or anxious, depending on their circumstances. Now the researchers who conducted the study are trying to find out what accounted for （說明，解釋） the dramatic differences in survival rates. The investigators, headed by UCSF associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics (生物統(tǒng)計學(xué)) Maradee A. Davis, had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality. Because of the buffering social support marriage is known to provide, Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women dwelling alone fared (生活，進展) worst in survival rates. It came as some surprise, however, that in their study population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse had the same lower survival rates as those who lived by themselves. “ The critical factor,” Davis says, “ seems to be the presence of a spouse.” The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed, separated or divorced, rather than in those who had never been married. Davis and her colleagues have already eliminated certain health factors as causes of higher mortality by adjusting their data to discount the effects of smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity and lack of exercise. Now they will look more closely at a variety of other considerations, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels and chronic illnesses. Sex roles: While many middle-aged men now know the difference between a cheese grater and a garlic press, nutrition may still account for some of the California studys findings. Previous research by Daviss team showed that unmarried men even if they lived with other people ate less healthy diets than married men. “ Traditional sex roles have meant that men arent as well informed as women about nutritional shopping and food preparation.” Says Davis. Emotional and social factors probably also played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The San Francisco researchers will examine a randomly selected subgroup of their study population for more detailed medical data, and theyll look at a trait (特征) they call “ general well-being”. This focuses on subjectively reported feelings and moods, rather than specific psychological symptoms. The researchers will analyze questionnaires that asked how frequently the men felt worried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes of death; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide or fatal accidents, it is likely that emotional stress contributed to ( 可助于，促使) their higher mortality rate. Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher level of well-being than those who werent married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isnt really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plain feel happier than the other guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive? 16. Environmental factors affect our health in important way. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. The various living arrangements wont affect mortality. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 18. Nutrition is a main factor for a man to live longer. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 19. Men who were widowed had a survival rate as low as those who had never been married. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 20. Emotional and social factors also played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 21. Happy-feeling is the best reason for men to stay alive. A Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 22. The pessimists feeling of helplessness undermines the bodys immune system. A Right B. Wrong C.

Their success began when they established a shop on their farm, so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.2 The business was an immediate success, and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country. The Associations inspectors found the Darlingtons shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetable.3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and, in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local produce, she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen. A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added, with everything that visitors could taste on the menu also being for sale in the shop.4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive, and she has worked very hard, but maintains that if the product is good, the public recognize this and buy it. I aim to offer the highest quality to our customers, whether they come in for a loaf of bread, or take a whole dinner-party menu. I take it as a compliment(恭維) if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it themselves. 5 So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop. Clara, not wishing to see them get thrown away, decided to turn them into soup.6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail, doing presentations of the soups. As a result, they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores.23. Paragraph 2 _.24.

Instead of depending on the patient to indicate when he hears a laboratory - controlled noise, as in the traditional form of testing, this new method, called electric response audiometry, enables audiologists to trace the noises path directly from the ear to the brain while the patient relaxes or sleeps. Although brain responses have been used in other auditory tests for some time, the University of Iowa specialists are the only scientists to date who analyze simultaneously three components of hearing - the responses of the middle ear, the auditory nerve and the brain stem. This information helps to identify the precise location of a hearing problem and , at the same time, to measure its severity. While electric response audiometry is not meant to replace conventional means of testing, it is especially effective in diagnosing hearing problems in very young children, multiply handicapped individuals and psychologically disturbed persons because it does not require the patients active participation. 31. Electric response audiometry differs from conventional hearing tests in that it _. A. requires the patient to signal when a given sound is heard B. studies subconscious responses to noise C. can be performed by any adult D. is in use nationwide. 32. The passage indicates that which of the following is the primary value of the University of Iowa hearing test? A. It will reduce misdiagnoses of hard-to-test patients. B. It will lead to cure for congenitial deafness. C. it will eventually make other means of testing hearing obsolete. D. It will win a Nobel Prize for outstanding achievement in the field of medicine. 33. According to the passage, the testing team at the University of Iowa is the first to _. A develop a method to test hearing by way of the train. B. determine the extent of brain damage in hearing- impaired persons. C. observe the reaction of the brain to a laboratory-controlled noise. D. study all the parts of brainwave responses at the same time. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that electric response audiometry would be especially recommended for _. A. a three-year-old girl who has an earache. B. an old man who cups his ear to hear. C. a young child who does not talk. D. a rock musician who plays the drums. 35. Which opinion is right according to the author _. A. Electric response audiometry is better than conventional hearing tests in every aspect. B. electric response audiometry is taken while the patient relaxes or sleeps. C. The conventional hearing test can be replaced by the new method. D. The new method has been put into wide use. 第二篇 Americans Get Touchy1 The New York Times recently reported that American teens are hugging practically everyone they see. Say goodbye to the greetings of the past, from the hands-off Whats up! to the handshake or high-five2. For young people across the country, hugging is the new Hello. Girls are hugging girls. Boys are hugging boys. Girls and boys are hugging each other. And, like every major trend, there are lots of variations on the form. Theres the classic, full-body, arms-around-the-person bear hug, the casual one-armed side hug, the group hug and the hug from behind. Theres the handshake that turns into a hug and the hug that turns into a pat on the back. As trends go, this one seems pretty innocent. But some parents, teachers and school administrators are worried nonetheless. Will young people who arent as comfortable with physical contact feel peer pressured into hugging? Will kids who dont receive hugs feel left Out3? Could an extra-long hug slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment? In response to some of these concerns, some schools have set up new rules to limit or eliminate hugging. One school head has created a three-second limitation4 for hugs at her school. A few schools have taken even more drastic measures, placing a ban on all forms of touching between students. A few important points are being left out of the discussion. While the US has traditionally been reserved about touching - saving hugs and kisses for relatives, romantic partners and very close friends - people in many other parts of the world have been greeting each other this way for ages. In Latin America or Western Europe, in countries like Spain, France, and Italy, a kiss on the cheek is common among women, as well as among women and men who are not romantically involved. The cheek-kiss varies by region. Sometimes it is just an air kiss blown past the face. In other places, the proper way of greeting is to deliver a kiss upon both cheeks, or sometimes even a triplet of kisses performed by kissing one cheek, then the other, then back to the first. Latin American men are more likely to shake hands when greeting other men, but in some countries like Turkey, its not unusual for men who know each other well to exchange kisses on the cheek. Meanwhile, for the Maori people of New Zealand, a traditional greeting called the hongi involves pressing noses together. So, from a global perspective, the new trend of teen hugging in America is not so new after all. People all around the world move in close to say hello, and Americans are just now joining in. 36.The word practically in the first paragraph could be best replaced by A) certainly B) nearly C) actively D) voluntarily 37.Which of the following is NOT among the typical ways of greetings in the past? A) hands off Whats up B) handshake C) high-five D) embrace 38. Some parents, teachers and school administrators concern the new trend of hugging for the following reasons EXCEPT: A) Some young people get involved into the trend due to peer pressure. B) Those who dont receive hugs feel left out. C) Theres the danger that hugging slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment. D) Diseases could be transmitted more easily through the extra-long body contact. 39.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A) Teenagers across the US hug everyone they see in nearly the same way. B) Although some adults worry about the trend, few measures have been taken to ban on it. C) Traditionally, the US people have been reserved about hugging between anybody. D) In some countries, its usual for men to kiss each other on the cheek. 40.We can infer that the author holds a attitude toward the new trend of hugging. A) positive B) negative C) indifferent D) conservative 第三篇 Spoilt for Choice Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, lifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like, waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2 But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries，choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5 The main impact of endless choice in peoples lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6 or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the uneaseRecent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really neededThe advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, non
