Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and help control body weight.

Any pet owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise program: one group with pet dogs, and the other without. On average，dog owners lost about 11 pounds，or 5% of their body weight; While those without dogs lost about 8 pounds. The pet owners, said researchers, got more exercise overall (mostly with their dogs) and found it worth doing.

1.What does the text mainly discuss?

A. People’s opinions of keeping pets.

B. How pets help people calm down.

C. What pets bring to their owners.

D. Pets can help in medical research.

2.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if_________.

A. he has a pet companion

B. he has less stress of work

C. he often dose mental arithmetic

D. he is taken care of by his family

3.According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around?

A. They are less nervous.

B. They are in higher spirits.

C. They become more patient.

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people— half of them pet owners —while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects(研究对象) completed the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have a effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more that 15% of their body weight. Dogs owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, as some researchers say, they got more exercise indeed.

Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.

A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits.

Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道).

Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for people with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk.

“Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said.

The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP.

1.Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day?

A.They want to lower their risk of having a heart attack

B.They hope to protect themselves against some cancers

C.They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomach

D.They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke

2.What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis?

A.That aspirin does more harm than good to the human body

B.That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the blood

C.That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable.

D.That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes.

3.What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article?

A.To have a thorough physical examination

B.To ask for others' opinions on the internet.

C.To read the findings of new studies on aspirin

D.To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition

4.The article was probably written by ________

A.the director of a hospital

B.a public health journalist

C.the CEO of a medical company

D.a representative for an insurance company

Many studies have hinted(暗示) that alcohol, in moderation, can do a heart good. But new research suggests that moderate drinkers are no more likely than non­drinkers to have clear arteries(动脉).

The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test. Overall, there was no association between people’s drinking habits and their heart diseases. Researchers said an advantage of the new study is that it used objective measurements.

“No prior studies have assessed the relationship between alcohol consumption and the presence of heart disease,” said lead researcher Dr Julia Karady. “We could not find any relation between the presence of heart disease and alcohol consumption,” Karady said. At the same time, she added, there was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.

However, groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) warn against excessive drinking, because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.

In general, “moderate” is defined as no more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men. But those studies do not prove that alcohol, itself, protects the heart—in large part because alcohol also carries risks.

1.What is the advantage of the new study?

A.The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test.

B.The new study used objective measurements.

C.No prior studies have assessed the relationship.

D.There was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.

2.Why groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) are against excessive drinking?

A.Because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.

B.Because there is some evidence that it will raise the risk of death.

C.Because it can make you die immediately.

D.Because it will lead to blindness.

3.What is “moderate” defined in the text?

A.No more than one glass of alcohol a day.

B.No more than two glasses of alcohol a day.

C.No more than three glasses of alcohol a day.

D.No more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men.
