    If you're 70 and overweight, you may live longer
    A few extra pounds might help you live longer if you're past your prime(壮年) but otherwise healthy, a new study finds.
    Physicians routinely follow guidelines issued by the World Health Organization. Because weight depends on height, they use a standard measure called body mass index (BMI), which is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
    Healthy weight is defined as a BMI anywhere between 18.5 and 24.9 in adults, whereas 25 to 29.9 is overweight and 30+ is obese.
    The new study suggests that in the elderly, these boundaries may be too narrow. While no one is questioning that extra fat poses health risks in young and middle-aged adults, it may reduce the impact of frailty and old age, geriatrician(老年医学专家) Dr. Thomas Yoshikawa told Reuters Health.
    So far, nobody knows exactly how BMI affects lifespan in older people. Some researchers speculate that it acts as an energy reserve that can help the elderly cope with illness.
    For the study, Australian researchers followed more than 9,000 men and women who were between 70 and 75 years old at the beginning. The participants reported their height and weight as well as various factors related to health and lifestyle. About 33 percent of the women and 44 percent of the men were overweight.
    Over 10 years, more than 2,000 of the participants died. Women who had an active life and didn't smoke were the most likely to be alive at the end of the study.
    But neither health nor lifestyle could fully explain why overweight people of both sexes survived longer than their normal-weight peers, who fared no better than obese individuals. In terms of survival, the best BMI was between 26 and 27, well within the overweight range.
    The new results agree with earlier research showing that fat may be beneficial in old age.
    1．We can learn from the passage that_________．
    A. the heavier one is, the better             
    B. we shouldn’t lose weight when old
    C. one should keep his weight within the recommended range
    D. we shouldn’t worry about our weight if we are slightly fatter than normal when old 
    2．According to the passage, if a person is 1.5 metres in height and 67.5 kg in weight, his BMI is________.
    A．30            B．25           C．45         D． 28
    3. What does the author want to tell us most?
    A. Fatness has little to do with diseases in old age.        
    B. Fatness is not always bad.
    C. Fatness may be beneficial instead of harmful in old age.
    D. Overweight people of both sexes survive longer than their normal-weight peers.

    Newcastle, one of the fastest developing cities in the United Kingdom, is beginning to draw tourists from all corners of Europe. It’s said most visitors come here to see the famous soccer team play. The mood of the locals is often changed by the success or failures of the local team.

    Newcastle’s most popular place is the Gate, which is in the center of the city and has many attractions including bars, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and so on. During a home game it becomes a real home to happiness.

    Culture and local history lovers can make their dreams come true by taking one of the local city tour buses.

    Here are six steps to better studying.

    Pay attention in class

    Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.

    Take good notes

    Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.

    Plan ahead for tests and projects

    Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.

    Break it up

    When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.

    Ask for help

    You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.

    Sleep tight

    So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.

    1.We know from the passage that a loud person is       .

    A．a student who always answers questions loudly in class

    B．someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice

    C．a student who likes speaking with others in class

    D．a person who makes a lot of noise in public places

    2.According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method?

    A．Don’t try to review everything you have learned in one go.

    B．Try to review what you’ve learned in one go.

    C．To read all your notes the night before the test.

    D．Try to remember everything on the first try.

    3.If you don’t understand what you have learnt, you can       .

    A．read your notes over and over again

    B．turn to people around you for help

    C．put aside the material for later review

    D．ask your teacher to explain it the next day

    4.By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?

    A．Sleep again after waking up.

    B．Sleep holding your breath deep.

    C．Get a good night’s sleep.

    D．Go to sleep early every night.

    Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.

    The hotels themselves will vary greatly----from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.

    Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.

    Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.

    1.When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _______.

    A．It is expensive to travel in space

    B．they would find the possible life in other star systems

    C．they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels

    D．they want to realise the full potential of tourism

    2.Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?

    A．The gravitational pull

    B．The special views.

    C．The relaxation in a bar

    D．The space walk.

    3.Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?

    A．When was the space traveling made possible?

    B．What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?

    C．Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?

    D．How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?

    4.This passage is mainly about ________.

        My baby Rob, the youngest of my three sons, was starting kindergarten. I had already 36 this twice before, but this time it was more difficult. [来源:Z&xx&k.Com]

    The night 39 school started, Rob and I sat down. I hugged him and asked if he had any questions about what he could expect tomorrow ... “I’m 40 excited, Mommy, but I’m a little 41 about what I should do 42 I miss you,” he said sheepishly （胆怯地）.

    I had just the 43 for him.

    The next day as he 51 his schoolroom, he looked back at me. My baby looked so sure of himself. I smiled back at him and hoped that he didn’t see the 52 in my eyes.

    The hours moved slowly but finally it was time to pick him 53. “I had a great day!” he 54. “There were a few times I was worried, but I held on to my lucky penny and that made me feel better.”

    After about a week I found it on his dresser.  I guessed he was secure enough in his new situation that he didn’t 55 it anymore.

    I, on the other hand, kept it in my pocket for a few more days.
