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.

Last night I wrote an article for the school newspaper that described how I feel right now in honest terms. I emailed it to our wonderful  41 , and after she  42 it, she asked a very good question: "Do you want the  43  school body, including our senior class and the teaching  44 to read this?"
That question pretty much  45 my thoughts. I'm not a very  46  person; I tend to let only a few friends know  47 what' s going on in my life. I suppose that's  48 my personality says the opposite to itself, because I'm also an honest person.
Being honest is   49  .It involves taking risks—huge risks—and putting  50 　 on the edge.   51   to someone can be the hardest thing for you in the world and either lead to the hurt of feelings or  52 friendships. During the course of my life, I' ve experienced  53 .
In positive ways, being honest can be a  54 .Pretending is not only difficult,  55 it' s very tiring. Last year,  56 I discovered that I could be open with two people whom I was already good friends with, the load on my shoulders felt much  57 .Telling someone your  58 feelings is scary; trusting someone  59 your heart and soul is hard. Of course, putting one's feelings into  60 for the general population to read is also rather frightening.
