We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims(声称) that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution(解决办法) is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint(线索) from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney(肾) which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
1.How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
A. By studying Western medicine.
B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
2.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A. People’s good kidney.
B. Medical treatment.
C. Level of people’s activity.
D. Positive life attitude.
3.The reason why people become old is that _________.
A. their bodies are unable to fight diseases
B. they have reduced strength, loss of hair
C. their bodies produce T-cells
D. they become weaker and weaker
4.We can probably learn from the passage that _________.
A. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
B. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is
C. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
D. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young

One day I was in the back yard teaching my little nephew how to play football. He said that play football was something easier. His words instantly bring back memories of my childhood. Like a little boy, I told my uncle I wanted to become football star like him. However, he taught me how to kick the ball.

One in five people carry a “smart gene” variant(变体)linked to long lifespan,bigger forebrains and enhanced mental ability,researchers have found.
“We’ve known for a long time that people lose cognitive(认知) abilities as they age,but now we’re beginning to understand that factors like KLOTHO can give people a boost in aging.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old,like Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆症),” said senior author,Dena Dubal of University of California.
The KLOTHO gene affects a protein found in the kidneys and the brain that regulates many different body processes.About one in five people carry a single copy of the variant,known as KL-VS,which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function.A small minority,3% of the population,has two copies,which is linked to a shorter lifespan.
In the new study scientists scanned the brains of 422 men and women aged 53 and over who were also tested for the KLOTHO gene.They found that participants with a single copy of the gene variant also had a larger brain region known as RDLPFC,which is especially likely to shrink with age.Loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time.
Researcher Dr Jennifer Yokoyama said,“The brain region enhanced by genetic variation in KLOTHO is vulnerable(脆弱的)in aging and some mental disease.In this case,bigger size means better function.It will be important to determine whether the structure increase associated with carrying one copy of KL-VS can offset the cognitive(认知的)shortage caused by disease.”
People who have one copy of a variant KL-VS tend to live longer and have lower chances of suffering a stroke(中风),whereas people who have two copies may live shorter lives and have a higher risk of stroke.
1.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.People’s cognitive abilities do not decline if people have KLOTHO.
B.With the clear understanding of KLOTHO,Alzheimer’s disease can be cured now.
C.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could be helpful in treating mental disease in elderly people.
D.Genetic variation in KLOTHO could lead people to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.
2.If a person carries two copies of the gene variant,he/she may .
A.have better kidney function
B.have a shorter lifespan
C.have a higher level of the protein in his/her body
D.suffer from some cognitive disease
3.The reason why older people’s attention is easily distracted may be that .
A.they have fewer neurons in the RDLPEC
B.their brain region is too large
C.they have two copies of the gene variant
D.they have more neurons in the RDLPEC
4.What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Prevent. B.Balance.
C.Keep. D.Promote.
