    　　Scientists have known for a long time that very loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss(损失)．The noise can be the sound of an airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work．

    　　A famous scientist has found that using aspirin(阿斯匹林)can increase the temporary(暂时的)hearing loss or damage from loud noises．He did an experiment using a number of volunteers who all had normal hearing．He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability．He found that volunteers who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered(受苦)much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin．The hearing loss was about two times as great．

    　　Most animals only have animals of a different kind for food．But sometimes two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系)which is good for them．You may have noticed some birds on the backs of sheep．This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫)on sheep．The sheep let the birds do so because they can stop the parasites from troubling them．So though they can do with it by themselves, they can do better together with each other．

    　　Sometimes an animal has a plant partner．The relationship develops until the two partners cannot do without each other．This is so in corals of the sea．Inside their bodies they have very small plants, which act as “cleaners”, taking the useless things from the coral and giving oxygen in return．That is what the animal needs to live．If the plants are killed, or are even kept from receiving light so that they cannot live as usual, the corals will die．

    　　The Italian island of Sardinia recently lost its oldest person．Family members say Antonio Todde died in his sleep early this month．Mr Todde was 112 years old．He was less than three weeks away from his 113th birthday．Record-keeping experts say he was the world’s oldest man．

    　　His long life and that of other very old Sardinians are the subjects of a scientific project(项目)called Akea．Luca Deiana of Sassari University is directing(指导)the study．He says the name Akea comes from a traditional greeting(问候)on Sardinia．It means “health and life for 100 years．” Professor Deiana and his team started to collect information for the study in 1997．They identified(确定))more than 220 Sardinians who were centenarians －－100 years old or older．His team needed three documents to make sure a person’s age．They were a government(政府)birth record, a church record and a statement(声明)by a close family member．

    　　The Akea study has produced two major findings．The first is Sardinia’s extremely high number of centenarians．The island has about 135 centenarians for every one million people．In other Western countries, the average(平均数)is about seventy-five centenarians for every one million people．The second major finding is an unusual rate(率)of female(女性)to male(男性)centenarians．Sardinia has two women centenarians for every male centenarian．In central Sardinia there are the same numbers of female and male centenarians．

    　　Studies in other parts of the world have shown a much higher percentage(百分比)of female centenarians．The Akea study collected information about the health and food of about 140 of the centenarians．About ninety percent of those in the study also agreed to provide blood(血)for scientific testing．The study team hopes to identify genetic(基因)material in the blood that can be linked to successful aging．Study leaders say there is no single reason why people on Sardinia live so long．They believe the answer is a combination(组合)of genetic and environmental conditions(条件)．

    (1)

    Centenarians are people who are ________ years old．

    [　　]

    A．

    200

    B．

    (3)

    What is the general idea of the third paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．

    Sardinia has a large number of centenarians．

    B．

    An unusual rate of female to male centenarians．

    C．

    Sardinia has equal numbers of female and male centenarians．

    (4)

    Why do Sardinians live so long according to the study?

    [　　]

    A．
