  Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised.“Barbara be enthusiastic!Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience,”How right they were!

  “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the things get tough.It is the inner voice that whispers,“I can do it!”When others shout,“No, you can’t!”It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted.Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.

  We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach.As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes.As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote,“Years wrinkly the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

  Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power.Patricia Mellratl retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm.She replied,“My father, long ago, told me,I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.”

  We can’t afford to waste tears on“might-have-been”.We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after“what-can-be”.We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.

  Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!

  “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers.“I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can't!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mc Clintock, a geneticist(遗传学家)who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted.Yet she didn't let up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

  We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever then age.At 90, cellist(大提琴家)Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach.As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes.As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old.

  Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power.Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm.She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.”

  If we cannot do what we love as a fulltime career, we can do it as a hobby.Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw.This activity ended her sadness that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”

  We can't afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”.We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.

  To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount.That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal

  After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.

  “We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council.“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.”

  Study participants(参与者)scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.

  Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes.But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.

  “We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization.“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(理论上地)possible.”

  “Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ”Susan Jebb said.“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.”

(1)

Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?

[  ]

A.

Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

B.

Do proper exercise in the morning every day.

C.

Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.

D.

Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.

(2)

We can learn from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.

Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.

B.

the study observed people as well as tested specific changes.

C.

there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.

D.

only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.

(3)

What can be inferred from the passage?

[  ]

A.

All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.

B.

People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.

C.

Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.

D.

People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good.

(4)

What would be the best title for this passage?

[  ]

A.

Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years

B.

How to Live a Much Healthier Life

C.

Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years

D.

How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others
