There’s more good news for people, if they have friends.These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends.Why?

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life,new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study,people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers(慢跑者) and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates(率) from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(适合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.
The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time,this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr,a researcher in Copenhagen,said,“If your goal is to decrease(减少) risk of death and improve life expectancy,jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy(策略).Anything more is not just unnecessary,and it may be harmful.”
The implications(含义) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi,yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events,triathlons(三项全能) and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott,another researcher in the study,“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact(影响) on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.
1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”.
A.hard B.regular
C.practical D.flexible(灵活的)
2.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.
A.suggest giving up jogging
B.show risks of doing sports
C.provide supportive evidence(证据)
D.introduce the research process(过程)
3.According to the scientists,why is too much exercise harmful?
A.It may injure the heart and arteries.
B.It can make the body tired out.
C.It will bring much pressure.
D.It consumes too much energy.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.No exercise at all is the best choice.
B.More exercise means a healthier life.
C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.
D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.

When Shakespeare was twenty?one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.
There were the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.
Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.
Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants — all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.
And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.
1.What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?
A.Dirty and small. B.Strange and interesting.
C.Infamous and terrible. D.Familiar and modern.
2.Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?
A.Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.
B.Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.
C.Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.
D.Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.
3.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Crowd. B.Sight.
C.Face. D.Resident.
4.The passage probably comes from ________.
A.a poster B.a textbook
C.an advertisement D.an announcement

Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately.
Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.
It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.
Call for help
Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.
Get the person to a cooler area
If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well?shaded area.
Get the water flowing
If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.
If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.
Fan the person
Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.
1.When does a person get sunstroke?
A.When the body doesn't function.
B.When proper care is given immediately.
C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.
D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.
2.What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.The first aid for sunstroke.
B.The causes of sunstroke.
C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.
D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A.Call for assistance from others.
B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.
C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.
D.Help the person take some medicine.
4.The text probably comes from________.
A.a guidebook B.a book review
C.a medical magazine D.an official document

Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world's heritage.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
1.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
A.To tell us what is heritage.
B.To stress the importance of heritages.
C.To explain the aims of protecting heritages.
D.To introduce some places of interest in the world.
2.About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.
A.identification B.application
C.protection D.conservation
3.If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.
A.can ask UNESCO for more money and help
B.should continue to take special care of it
C.won't take trouble of caring for it
D.will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger
4.The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.
A.to attract more tourists from other countries
B.to get more money and help from other countries
C.to have it taken better care of
D.to make it known to other countries
