[1] Have you ever had the wish to live another 100 years or more? Experts say that scientific advances will some day enable us to live tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

[2] “I guess we are knocking at the door of living longer,” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will ____________ and that’s a conservative estimate（保守的估计）.”

[3]At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louris, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology（纳米技术） make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said.

[4]However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to live past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

[5]Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have a good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

Young people frequently say that they want to exercise, but they just can’t find the time.

The solution just might be in-office interval training.

Recent studies show that very short but intense exercise rapidly builds and maintains fitness and health, even when the workout is only a few minutes long.

Work the stairs

You can complete an excellent, effective — and very brief — workout in an office stairwell, says Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada and an expert on interval training.

For a study that he and his colleagues presented earlier this year, they asked 12 out-of-shape women in their 20s to warm up for two minutes by slowly walking up and down stairs in a campus office building.

They completed three of these abbreviated stair workouts per week for six weeks.

By the end, their aerobic fitness had improved substantially, the researchers reported, by about as much as if they had been running or cycling each week for hours.

Fidget your way to fitness.

Parents and teachers may once have urged you to sit still, but wiggling, tapping your toes, standing briefly, and otherwise fidgeting as much as possible at your desk is in fact good for your body.

In one recent study, college students showed healthier blood flow in their lower legs if they fidgeted than if they did not.

Even better, a 2008 study found that among office workers, those who frequently fidgeted burned as many as 300 calories more each day than those who resolutely stayed still.

1. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A. several ways to work out within short time

B. short exercise does no good to health

C. how to find time to exercise

D. fitness can be improved

2.According to the experiment, women spending two minutes working stairs for six weeks __________.

A. didn’t benefit from workout

B. felt more unhealthy

C. became fatter in figure

D. benefited a lot

3.How many studies are shown in the passage?

A. One　　　　　 B. Two　　　　 　 C. Three　　　　　　 　 D. Four

4.The writer may agree ___________.

A. sitting still during work hours

B. lying as often as possible

C. trying to frequently walk back and forth

C. standing and working without any stop

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. In this sense they mean that the home is very important and 21. Most people in Britain live in houses 22flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的); they can23 them and change them in any way they 24 . In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 25for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to 26their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train?

Some people are pessimistic (悲观) when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth’s resources. We will have polluted our sea badly, and be unable to eat fish from it. We will have made air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world’s pollution will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.

Other people believe that man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. However, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years’ time?

One architect believes that man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge, pyramid­shaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there, and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea, we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.

As for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. But, in a hundred years’ time, the optimists (乐观者) say, the new sea cities will be using these resources.

What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling?

Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.

People will be wearing very light, thin clothes. By this time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.

As for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.

An interesting picture! Unfortunately, we will not be there if these predictions come true.

Attitudes to AIDS Now

Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.

The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.

"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.

The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.

Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:

52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting th e message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs of complacency.

1.What do activists worry about?

A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.

B. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.

C. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.

D. People may stop worrying about AIDS

2.According to the passage, people's attitude toward the cure of AIDS is

A. optimistic.　　 B. hopeless

C. pessimistic.　　 D. realistic

3.The Gallup Poll shows that the number of people___________.

A. who suffer from the worst disease -- AIDS has fallen.

B. who think AIDS is the country's top health killer has fallen.

C. who worry about AIDS and health problems has fallen.

D. who think AIDS threatens the countryside has fallen.

4.According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?

A. The country is making progress against AIDS.

B. More and more people die of AIDS now.

C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.

D. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.
