New findings suggest that brainy card games such as contract bridge (合约桥牌) may temporarily raise production of a key blood cell including in fighting off illness. After 90 minutes of play, bridge players had increased level of immune(免疫) cell, according to research reported last week.
A researcher, Diamond, studies bridge players from a woman’s bridge club. She chose bridge players because the game includes skills stimulating(刺激) a part of the brain called the dorsolateral cortex. Earlier animal research suggests that this part of the brain may play a role in the immune system.
The findings are based on blood samples drawn from 12 women players. Their blood samples showed a rise in levels of white blood cells called T cells after they played bridge for 90 minutes. T cells are produced by the thymus gland(胸腺) and used by the immune system against diseases.
The T cells count jumped significantly in eight of the bridge players, and slightly in the other four.
The findings contribute to the field of neuroimmunology(神经免疫学), whose name reflects the fact that the nervous system and the immune system are not considered separate and isolated systems. What isn’t clear is whether the help to the immune system from an activity like contract bridge is lasting or temporary. It’s also not clear whether the increase in T cells could finally be targeted against special illness.
72.Playing bridge can help one to fight off diseases because it can ____.
A. raise production of a key blood cell
B. make people joyful
C. aid digestion
D. make break-away from the bad habits

A. the players are good friends of hers
B. she loves playing bridge
C. this game stimulates a part of the brain that has something to do with immune system
D. She is a clever manager, who operates her bridge club well
74.A T cell is _____.
A. a brain cell B. a white blood cell
C. a red blood cell D. a kind of dangerous blood
75.Which of the following is TRUE according to this article?
A. The immune system and the brain system used to considered separated and isolated system.
B. The help to the immune system that is brought about by playing bridge can last for long time.
C. Cortex is a kind of blood cell.
D. The new findings are impossible.

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor’s broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But

At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.
People in
Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn’t been a problem in other free-bike cities.
While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Greene. “
Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes(自行车道).” He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home?”
Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning.”

A. there are many bikes available
B. many people get tired of driving cars
C. many other cities have already done so

A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him,” Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication (药物治疗), but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”
56. This article is mainly about _________.
A. the danger of heart transplant surgery
B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of genetics on the heart
D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants
57. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A. Lifespan (寿命). B. Career goals.
C. A sense of humor. D. Love for bicycling.
58. What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?
A. Exercise B. Diet C. Surgery D. Medicines
59. Why did Alfred say, “I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart”?
A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s.
B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s.
C. His exercise program was better than Anthony’s.
D. His new heart was younger than Anthony’s.
