    Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.1..In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.One reason for this is biological.

    One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.2.Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility（生育能力）.These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow.In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.

    3.They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.

    4. Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do.Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man’s.Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.5..

    A.However, women, on average, live longer.

    B.The biological factor plays an important part.

    C.Women are also helped by their female genes.

    D.The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

    E.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

    F.Therefore, women are healthier than men and can live a better life.

    G.Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.

    Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.

    In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random—he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.

    Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate a achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.

    There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.

    The cure of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a ＂we＂, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.

    1. What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?

    A. Chimps seldom care about others’ interests.

    B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.

    C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.

    D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.

    2. Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they _________.

    A. have the instinct to help others

    B. know how to offer help to adults

    C. know the world better than chimps

    D. trust adults with their hands full

    3.The passage is mainly about _________.

    A. the helping behaviors of young children

    B. ways to train children’s shared intentionality

    C. cooperation as a distinctive human nature

    D. the development of intelligence in children

    Dear Grandma,

    It was nice seeing you at Christmas. You looked so happy!

    After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on（反思） what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

    You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．

    But you taught me how to fix it．

    I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

    Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

    Love always,

    Kelly
