【题目】A firm handshake could be a sign of a longer life expectancy (预期寿命), according to British researchers. Scientists at the Medical Research Council found that elderly people who could still give a firm handshake and walk at a quick pace were likely to outlive their slower peers.

They found simple measures of physical capability like shaking hands, walking, getting up from a chair and balancing on one leg were related to the life expectancy, even after accounting for age, sex and body size. The study is the first to provide a comprehensive (综合的) view of the existing data from 33 studies. “These measures have been used in population-based research for quite a long time,” said Rachel Cooper of the Medical Research Council’s Unit for Lifelong Health and Aging. “They may be useful indicators for subsequent health.”

Cooper, whose study appears in the British Medical Journal, said more studies are needed to clarify whether the measures would be helpful to doctors as a screening tool. “I wouldn’t suggest that we roll them out into clinical practice tomorrow, but it is possible that they could be used in the future,” she told the media.

The researchers examined 33 studies involving tens of thousands of people, most of whom were aged over 60 but living in the community rather than in hospital or care homes. The researchers found that those with the strongest hand grasps tended to live longer than those with weak grips. The death rate over the period of the studies for people with weak handshakes was 67 percent higher than for people with a firm grip.

The slowest walkers were nearly three times more likely to die during the study period than swifter walkers. The people who were slowest to get up from a chair had about double the death rate compared to the quick risers.

“Those people in the general population who have higher physical capability levels are likely to live longer,” Cooper said.

【1】 Which of the following are measures of physical capability according to the passage?

a. shaking hands

b. balancing

c. getting up

d. weight lifting

e. walking

A. a, b, c, e

B. a, c, d, e

C. b, c, d, e

D. a, b, d, e

【2】 What does Cooper think about the measures of physical capability?

A. They are of little help to doctors.

B. They can’t be used as a screening tool.

C. They can be applied to medical practice.

D. They are potentially beneficial to people.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. People who walk quickly and shake hands firmly have a lower death rate.

B. People with the strongest hand grasp are more outgoing.

C. Most of the people who received the study live in the community.

D. People who always sit are more likely to die than those who stand.

【4】 In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find this passage?

A. Sports.

B. Health.

C. Economics.

D. Culture.
