    　　Heading back to the room for dinner and a hot shower may sound like the act of a tired tourist, but in the traditional Japanese inn－or ryokan－those activities can be as interesting as anything along the sightseeing trail．“People going looking for a sort of nostalgic(怀旧的), old-fashioned, traditional view of Japanese life will find it most easily in a ryokan,” said Peter Grilli, president of Japan Society of Boston, Massachusetts．

    　　Many ryokan spang up in the 17th century to put up feudal lords(领主)traveling along Tokaido highway to Edo(now Tokyo)．Today tourists looking for a taste of the country’s historic lifestyle find varying levels of understated elegant in ryokan throughout the country．

    　　A typical stay starts with a greeting from the inn’s staff and a change from street shoes into slippers．An attendant leads guests to their rooms, where slippers are removed before walking on the rice straw flooring, called tatami．Walking slowly along behind a kimono-clad(和服)attendant on the creaky wood floods of Fukuzumir oryokan’s hallways is like stepping back in time．The inn was established in 1890 by a former samurai(武士)．

    　　Tim Paterson, 33, a banker living in Tokyo, has stayed at several ryokan．This New Zealand native leaves after a recent stay at Fukuzumiro．“I think it’s quite good mixing culture with history and not just going to see it, but living in it, staying in it．” he said．Sliding glass doors line the inn’s rural hallways, bringing in the sound of trickling water and the quietness of the stone and tree-filled courtyards outside．

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have disclosed．

    　　Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study．

    　　Researchers from King's College London studied 2, 160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres-a biological marker of ageing found in DNA．As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they are easy to have illnesses．

    　　But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres-a sign of being biologically younger and healthier．

    　　The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole．

    　　Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said： "These results are exciting because they prove for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D．

    　　"This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer．"

    　　He said further studies are required to confirm the findings．

    　　Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added： "Although it might sound absurd(荒谬的), it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process．"

    　　Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals．

    　　Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease．

    　　Many banks are still not lending．They worry that they will not have enough capital to cover losses, but the situation does not allow many businesses to have the money they need to operate, and further slows a struggling economy．

    　　In the United States, the government has so far provided almost 150 billion dollars to banks, mainly through buying shares．Yet this may not be enough to save some major banks．By some estimates, banks have at least one trillion dollars in losses that they have not yet reported．

    　　The new administration of President Barack Obama is considering ways to save banks．

    　　One possibility is to expand federal guarantees against losses on some troubled financial assets(资产)．The government has already offered guarantees to Bank of America and Citigroup．But the cost of this kind of insurance could be huge．

    　　Another possibility is to create a so-called bad bank．It would take questionable securities held by other banks．The idea would be similar to the Resolution Trust Corporation set up by the government in 1989．It was formed to sell assets from failed savings and loan banks．

    　　But it is difficult to put a price on trouble securities．Taxpayers would lose money if the government pays too much．And if it pays too little, banks could still fail．

    　　Some people see nationalization(国有化)as the answer．That is when a government takes ownership of a private business, often with the idea of selling it back to investors later．Existing shares become worthless．

    　　In the early 1990s, Sweden nationalized some banks and later sold their troubled assets, recovering some costs．But a similar effort in the United States, the world’s biggest economy, could take years．And experts warn that lending and politics do not mix．

    　　Coming up with a plan to fix the banks and the financial system is now the job for Tim Geithner．The Senate confirmed his this week to replace Henry Paulson as Treasury Secretary．Tim Geithner’s last job was head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank．

    　　Supporters said he is the best person to deal with the financial crisis．But one-third of the Senate, mostly Republicans, voted against him．

    　　He face rebuke for his failure to pay 34,000 dollars in taxes when he worked for the International Monetary Fund(IMF)．He owed it to“careless mistakes”．As Treasury Secretary he is the nation’s chief tax collector．
