A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol(胆固醇)levels.
1.In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Ads B. Movies
C. Briefs D. Health and Diet
2.The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B. the changes in people’s diet
C. the effect of fish eating on people’s health
D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
3.The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between ____ and the level of heart disease.
A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating
C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different areas
4.From the passage we know the author is most probably ___________.
A. a heart doctor B. a science researcher
C. a supporter of healthy eating D. a university student

This spring, you may be fortunate enough to have good weather, a small piece of earth and the energy, enthusiasm and inspiration to plant a garden. There is nothing better to shake off the boredom and dullness of winter than to dig in the earth, plant some seeds and watch them grow. A small garden can produce something extra fresh for dinner, flowers for the table and a feeling of accomplishment. It is work, but it is ever so rewarding.
What about your life garden? Just as a beautiful garden is a work in progress, so is the garden in your mind. It takes conscious effort, planning, constant nurturing(培育) and weeding to grow a garden. What have you planted? What have you allowed to take root? Is your life the out-picturing of a well laid out garden or a jumble of plants, trees and weeds whose seeds were blown your way and took root?
We have all heard phrases like "sowing seeds of doubt", or "seeds of discontent." We can make a conscious choice whether to allow them to take root in our lives or cast them out of our garden. Negative energy and words, like weeds, will spread quickly if left unchecked. Find a good "weed killer"-a book, an inspirational story, a positive statement-to help you get rid of the thoughts that ruin the beauty of your garden.
Plant as many seeds of joy and beauty as you can-in your own life and in the lives of the people with whom you live and work every day. Grow a gratitude garden, a peace garden and a dream garden. Tend to them daily. If you give them time and energy, you will have a rich harvest of success, happiness and peace of mind.
1.Why does the author tell us the benefits of growing a garden?
A.To ask us to love gardening. B.To show his love for gardening.
C.To lead in to the topic of the text. D.To show what a life garden is like.
2.In what way is our life garden similar to a beautiful garden?
A.It is in change all the time.
B.It can make us happy and grateful in life.

D.It is full of both positive energy and negative energy.
3.Why does the author compare negative energy and words to weeds?
A.They are a natural part of life. B.They are difficult to remove.
C.They are often left unchecked. D.They need to be removed before they spread.
4.Which of the following can be regarded as a weed killer?
A.Reading a dull book. B.Relieving our discontent.

Does a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption, say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily helps to prevent coronary heart disease.Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in support of that theory.More important, the work provided the first solid indication of how alcohol works to protect the heart.
In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvad Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attack with those of healthy people of the same age and sex.The scientists found that people who sip one to three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are.The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high density lipoproteins (脂蛋白), the so called good cholesterol (胆固醇), which is known to prevent heart disease.
As evidence has mounted (增长), some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases.But most physicians are not ready to recommend a regular happy hour for everyone.The risks of teetotal ling (绝对戒酒) are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles---not to mention violent behavior and traffic accident.Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer.Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose (吸收剂量) of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighborhood bar or liquor store.
60.The report mentioned in the first paragraph indicates________.
A.the way in which alcohol can help the heart.
B.that a couple of cocktails daily can help stop heart problems
C.why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health
D.that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled
61.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had___________.
A.larger amounts of good cholesterol B.smaller amounts of good cholesterol
C.higher blood pressure D.lower blood pressure
62.According to the passage, moderate drinking_______.
A.is recommended by most doctors for heart patients
B.should be allowed on prescription
C.is still not medically advisable
D.is not related to liver problems
63.The main theme of this passage is___________.
A.the change in recent drinking habits
B.the connection between cancer and alcohol
C.whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers
D.whether alcohol may be good for one’s health

The old man fished alone in a small rowboat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail.
“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. “I could go with you again. I’ve made some money.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them. You must obey your father.” “We can be lucky again too. Remember when we didn’t catch a fish for 10 days, then caught a big one each day for a month?” said the boy. “Can I offer you a beer on the balcony and then we’ll take the stuff home,” said the boy. “Why not?” the old man said.
“Santiago,” the boy said as they sat on the balcony, “If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in some way.” “You bought me a beer,” the old man said, lifting the bottle to his mouth. “Do you remember the first time I took you out to fish?” the old man asked. “I was five. I remember the tail of a huge fish slapping against the boat, the noise of you clubbing him and the sweet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together,” the boy said. The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, loving eyes.
“May I get some sardines for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones,” said the boy. “One,” the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. “Two,” the boy said. “Thank you,” the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will be a big fish?” asked the boy. “I think so. And I know many tricks.”
1.Why was the boy forced to stop working for the old man?
A. It was too dangerous to continue fishing.
B. It was time for the boy to return to school.
C. The old man was thought to be a poor teacher.
D. The boy couldn’t earn enough money with the old man.
2.In paragraph 2, the boy probably mentioned their past fishing experiences in order to
__________.
A. convince the old man that he should not retire
B. explain why he had to stop working for the old man
C. persuade the old man to let him return as his assistant
D. warn the old man about the danger of fishing in the deep sea
3.Which of the following did the boy NOT do for the old man?
A. Buy him a beer. B. Repair the sail.
C. Drag up the boat. D. Take in the fishing equipment.
4.What can we lean about the old man from the last paragraph?
A. He remained optimistic about catching fish.
B. He was the most skillful fisherman in the village.
C. He would stay out longer than any other fisherman.
D. He would usually go out further than any other boat.
