Want to Be 100?Listen to These 5 Centenarians（百歲老人）

　　Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked all the time:"How did you live to be 100?"

　　If you want to live to 100 or more,this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity（長壽）is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.

　　Even though an estimated 70,000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age,it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place.

　　The average life-span（壽命）of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party.And most people don't want to cut out coffee,soda,alcohol,cigarettes,and eat healthy food.

　　"People tell me all the time,'I don't want to live to be 100,'"said Mildred Leaver,who turned 100 in June.

　　"I think that's just sad.Aging is attitude and I don't feel old,"said Leaver,a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.

　　It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris,Grace Wolfson,Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas,have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits.All are 100 except Stuart,who is 101.

　　Even though their sight and hearing aren't what they used to be,they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with.It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.

　　The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer,designer,school principal,bookkeeper and secretary.In the early years of their lives,gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-olds are today.

　　16.Currently about 70,000 people are aged 100 or above in America.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　17.It is not hard to find five 100-year-olds living in one place in America.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　18.None of the five centenarians have any children.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　19.The average life-span of Americans is 80 years.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　20.Leaver feels sad about her old age.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　21.Leaver was stricken with cancer 50 years age.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　22.The five centenarians live in a very friendly community.
　　A.Right　　B.Wrong　　C.Not mentioned

　　第3部分：概括大意與完成句子（第23~30題，每題1分，共8分）

Clinical Trials

　　1Many clinical trials are done to see if a new drug or device is safe and effective for people to use.Sometimes clinical trials are used to study different ways to use the standard treatments so they will be more effective,easier to use,and/or decrease side effects.Sometimes,studies are done to learn how to best use the treatment in a different population,such as children,in whom the treatment was not previously tested.

　　2It is important to test drugs and medical products in the people they are meant to help.It is also important to conduct research in a variety of people because different people may respond differently to treatments.Some people participate in clinical trials because they have exhausted standard treatment options.Other people participate in trials because they want to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge.

　　3The FDA（食品及藥物管理局）works to protect participants in clinical trials and to ensure that people have reliable information as they decide whether to join a clinical trial.Although efforts are made to control the risks to clinical trical participants,some risks may be unavoidable because of the uncertainty inherent（內(nèi)在的）in medical research studies involving new medical treatments.

　　4People should learn as much as possible about the clinical trials that interest them.They should also feel comfortable discussing their questions and concerns with members of the health care team.Prospective（預(yù)期的）participants should understand what happens during the trial,the type of health care they will receive,and any costs to them.Anyone considering a clinical trial should also know that there are benefits and risks associated with participating.

　　第一篇

Heat and Health

　　Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world.Although hot weather just makes most people hot,it can cause medical problems-and death.

　　Health experts say that since the year 1900,extremely hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event.One year-the unusually hot summer of 1980-heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States.In 1995,more than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in one city-Chicago.

　　To measure extreme heat,govemment weather experts have developed the  Mean Heat Index.It measures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day.Experts say it is the total heat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health.Several hot days are considered a heat wave.Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.

　　The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress.Usually,it also is the least severe.For most peoople,the only result of heat stress is muscle pain.The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot.Doctors say drinking water will help the pain disappear after the body again has the right amounts of water and salt.For some people,however,the result is much more serious.

　　For example,doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat stress.These people have a weak or damaged heart,high blood pressure,or other problems of the blood system.Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke.Health experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.

Good Table Manners

　　Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table.Here are some general rules:

　　Napkin（餐巾）use

　　The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin.This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap.Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin,or in half,lengthwise（縱向地）,if it is a large dinner napkin.

　　If you need to leave the table during the meal,place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning.Once the meal is over,place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate.Do not refold it.

　　Use a napkin only for your mouth.Never use it for your nose,face or forehead.

　　Use of utensils（餐具）

　　Start with the knife,fork or spoon furthest from your plate,and work your way in,using one utensil for each course.

　　If soup is served,remember to spoon away from yoursefl.This helps stop the drips.Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth.Instead,fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup,and sip（啜飲）it from the side noiselessly.

　　After finishing dinner,place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife alade facing inward toward the plate.

　　Using your fingers

　　Here's a list of finger foods:sandwiches,cookies,small fruits or berries with stems,French fries and potato chips,and hamburgers.

Wayne Beno

　　Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease（帕金森氏�。�.

　　"For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors（顫抖）.I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,"said Wayne.

　　Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation（刺激）（DBS）.DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson's disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.

　　In addition to his doctor's recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend's experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.

　　And was it ever.

　　"It was the best thing I ever did.I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all,"reports Wayne."Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I'm back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn't be any better!"

Farmers' Markets

　　Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.（46）

　　"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on fams it can be isolating,"she said."There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"

　　Oliver Robinson,25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.（47）"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice,straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young,ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson,farming doesn't offer much"in terms of money or lifestyle."Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards:"providing for a vital human need,while working outdoors with nature."

　　Farming is a big political issue in the UK.（48）The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.

　　Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells（帶來）hope for farmers competing with  powerful supermarkets.（49）

　　"I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance（蔑視）of the big supermarkets.（50）It's terrible,"said Londoner Michael Samson.

　　ABut he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.

　　BWhile most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.

　　CWhile confident they will succeed,she lists farming's many challenges:

　　DYoung people prefer to live in cities.

　　EI seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything-what exactly DO they put on our apples to make them so big and red?

　　F"Buy British"campaigns urge（鼓勵）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.

　　Most American colleges and universities have（53）health centers.There may even be a teaching hospital that can treat more serious（54）.

　　Some medical services may be included in the cost of attending a school.But health insurance is usually needed for extra services.（55）most full-time college students must have insurance.

　　Students may already be protected under their family's health plan.If not,many colleges offer（56）own plans.

　　The University of Michigan will be our example.Students pay a health service fee.Then there is no extra charge when they are treated for minor（57）problems at the University Health Center.But the school wants students to have health insurance to pay（58）other services.

　　The insurance plan（59）by the university costs about one thousand seven hundred dollars a year.Such health insurance（60）generally pay for hospital services,emergency room care and visits to doctors.They（61）do not pay for care of the teeth.And they usually do not pay for treatment of medical conditions that existed（62）the student arrived at school.

　　International students at the University of Michigan have two（63）.They can buy the university health plan.Or they can（64）private insurance that is approved by the university.

　　The school also offers a special International Student Insurance Plan.This pays for most of the services offered（65）the University Health Center that are not included in the health service fee.
