　 Many times when people hear the words social networking, their brains　automatically go to sites such as Twitter or Facebook. However, there are sites for those into social networking and into reading. Sound crazy?, It's really not.　If you've ever wanted a site where you can receive book recommendations，follow your favorite authors，and keep up with what your friends are reading, then look no further than Goodreads. com.

　 Goodreads provides useful services for those in the reading world. It is a site where you can win books by going to giveaways（赠书）and simply entering your information. Some giveaways are even signed by the author.　 And the books aren't boring，old or torn copies —— many of them are ARC's (Advanced Readers Copies)，for which you can write a short review on the site. Anyone can post reviews of their favorite books or series so that others may feel inclined to read them as well.

　 Another function of the site is offering book clubs and interest groups. You can have interactive discussions with groups of people reading the same things，sort of like a blog. You can also make friends with people and post statuses similar to Facebook. Your friends can send you book recommendations and you can add them to your shelf if you choose.

　 Shelves are by far one of the best features on the site. You can categorize（归类） your entire library and put books you want to read on your“to-read” shelf. These virtual（虚拟的）shelves allow you to see what you've read and also let you keep track of the number of books you've read in a year.

　 You can even read original writing for free because many people post their own writing on the site to gain feedback and advice on how to improve. Anyone can join this site for free and fall in love with not just a book, but a book site as well.

67. People who go to the site Twitter or Facebook mostly want to_______．

　 A. get more books to read

　 B. meet more people and make friends

　 C. buy goods for their daily life

　 D. post their book recommendations

68.　 The underlined part“feel inclined" in. Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to______.

　 A. have a desire　　　　　　　 C. have no difficulty

　 C. have a possibility　　　　　 D. have no doubt

69.　 You can do all of the following things on Goodreads. com EXCEPT_______．

　 A. receiving books signed by the authors

　 B. publishing your comments on books

　 C. exchanging your ideas with other people

　　 D. buying all kinds of books that you like

70. What do we know about the shelves on Goodreads. com?

　 A. They are filled with all kinds of books from some libraries.

　 B. The books there are categorized for readers by the site.

　 C. That is where people put books they have read or want to read

　　A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have revealed．Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study．Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres-a biological marker of ageing found in DNA．As people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses．

　　But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres-a sign of being biologically younger and healthier．The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole．

　　Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said：“These results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D．”This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer．“He said further studies are required to confirm the findings．”

　　Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added：“Although it might sound absurd, it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process．”

　　Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals．Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease．

阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Exercise may hold the key to youth, according to a study published recently which showed people who keep fit are up to nine years biologically younger than those who do not．

　　The findings are the first to show in humans how keeping fit affects the ageing process．

　　The study of 2, 401 twins found that a sedentary(惯于久坐的)lifestyle raises the risk of a range of problems from heart disease to cancer and appears to play a key role in the ageing process．

　　It all appears to boil down to the length of structures called telomeres－which protect the DNA on the chromosomes(染色体), the researchers from King's College London wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine．

　　Many studies have shown telomeres get shorter over time, suggesting the cells are ageing or dying．The study, which extracted a DNA sample from their volunteers, found people who exercised more each week had longer telomeres．

　　Exercise lowers the risk of a range of problems such as heart disease, diabetes(糖尿病)and cancer, the researchers said．

　　“It is not just walking around the block．It is really working up a sweat,” said Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist(流行病学家)who led the study, in a telephone interview．

　　The study found people who exercised vigorously 3 hours each week had longer telomeres and they were 9 years biologically younger than people who did under 15 minutes．

　　Spector's team, who also adjusted for body weight, smoking, economic status and physical activity at work, also said moderate exercise for 1－1/2 hours each week provided a four－year advantage．

　　The reason why exercise has this effect is not clear but we believe physical activity somehow defends against the natural process．
