| In the Caucasus Mountains, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don't stop at 100! In American only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these old people aren't alone. The people who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Andes Mountains, seem to share the secret of long life, too. First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical work as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam is 142 years of age. He has experienced several wars. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Rustam doesn't want to stop his work as a farmer. "Why? What else would I do?" He asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now he might work for 6 hours in the field instead of 10. Another factor (因素) that may contribute (有助于) to the good health of these people is their isolation. Most of them are kept off the modern world. Inherited (遗传的) factors also help. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. So good families genes (基因) may be one factor in living longer. Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same food, they eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need. |
| 1. Which of the following contributes to the good health of all these long-lived people? |
| A. Fresh air in the mountains. B. Hard physical work. C. Good family genes. D. The same food. |
| 2. What does the underlined word "isolation" mean in Chinese? |
| A. 自我封闭 B. 与世隔绝 C. 独立 D. 淡薄 |
| 3. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Good Health B. The Old People in the Mountains C. Long-lived People D. The Secret of Long Life |

| Chicago is next to a big beautiful lake, Lake Michigan. In the summer Lake Michigan is warm and blue. People lie on the beaches and swim in the water. In the winter Lake Michigan is cold and gray. Snow covers the beaches, and ice covers the water. On a cold January day, a little boy and his father were playing in the snow on Chicago beach. The boy was Jimmy Tontlewicz. He was four years old. Jimmy was playing with a sled (雪橇). He pushed the sled down a small hill. The sled went onto the ice of Lake Michigan. Jimmy ran after the sled. He ran onto the ice. Suddenly the ice broke, and Jimmy fell into the cold water. Jimmy's father jumped into the water. He couldn't find Jimmy. Minutes went by. He still couldn't find Jimmy. Firemen arrived. Twenty minutes later they found Jimmy and pulled him out of the water. Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating. He was dead. At the beach paramedics (医务辅助人员) worked on Jimmy for an hour. He began to breathe, and his heart began to beat. The paramedics rushed Jimmy to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in bed. They put him on a cold mattress (床垫) because they wanted his body to warm up slowly. They gave him some medicine because they wanted him to sleep. After eight days in the hospital, Jimmy woke up, but he couldn't walk or talk. So he went on staying in the hospital for six weeks. Every day he got better. Then he went to another hospital. He stayed there for seven weeks. He began to walk, talk, and play again. Jimmy was in the water for more than 20 minutes. He couldn't breathe in the water. He couldn't get any oxygen. But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible? Jimmy is alive because the water was ice cold. Usually the brain (大脑) needs a lot of oxygen. But when it's very cold, the brain slows down. It doesn't need much oxygen. So the ice cold water saved Jimmy. Jimmy's father has another reason. He says, "Jimmy is alive today because he is a fighter (战士)." |

| A. Because he slept for a long time. B. Because he is a fighter. C. Because the water was ice cold. D. Because he was sent to hospital quickly. |
| 3. Which is the best title for the story? |

| ARLES, FRANCE---Andre Raffay has a problem. He needs a nice, large flat in the city of Arles, but he doesn't have enough money to buy one. Every morning Andre sits in his neighborhood café (附近酒吧) and reads the flat ads in the newspaper. He draws a circle around each ad for a flat that looks good. Then he goes to the telephone to call the owner. "Hello. I'm interested in the flat near the park that is in today's paper," he says. "How much is it?" When he hears the answer, he says, "Oh, my goodness! That's too much!" The same thing happens every day. One morning Andre sees a friend in the café. He tells him about his problem."I have a good idea, Andre. I know a 90-year-old woman who has a beautiful flat. You can pay her something every month until she dies. Then you can move into the flat. It will be yours!" Andre is excited. He thinks to himself, "How much longer can such an old lady live? We can probably have the flat in a few years." He and his wife, Marie, go to visit Mrs. Calment.

When she dies, the flat will belong to Andre and his wife. More than thirty years go by. Jeanne Calment is still alive. She is 121 years old, the oldest person in the world.

| When John and Victoria Fails arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they did not bring many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment (家具齐全的公寓) or to buy used furniture (家具).

What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international businessmen,government officers, airline workers, young married couples--the people whose jobs may make them move frequently (频繁地) from one city (or country) to another.

| Group Helps Others to Build Houses TEPETITAN, EL SALVADOR- Evinor Mira is only sixteen years old, but he is working as hard as an adult man to help his family get a good house. Evinor lives with his mother and his little brother and sister in Tepetitan, EL Salvador. His father is dead, and the family is very poor. Their house is a small one of mud (泥土) and sticks, so Evinor is working with an organization called Habitat for Humanity to build a new home. Habitat for Humanity helps people who need houses but do not have much money. Each family buys the house through monthly payments (每月付款). Their payments help build more houses because banks can then lend money to other families. Habitat for Humanity volunteers help to build the house, but the families must do a lot of the work themselves. Every morning, Evinor begins at 7:00. He and the volunteer workers from Habitat carry boards (木板), pound nails (敲钉子), and pour concrete (混凝土) all day, six days a week. The other workers can go home and rest at 4:00 p.m., but Evinor's day isn't over. He rides on a bus for forty minutes to go to school in another town. He is in high school and attends classes for four hours every evening. At 9:00 p.m. he has to walk two and a half hours to get home because there aren't any buses so late at night. Around 11:30 p.m. he arrives home and does his homework. On Sundays, Evinor works with the Habitat organization to help other families get houses, too. Evinor does not have the easy life of many teenagers, but he doesn't mind working so hard. He is proud that he can help his own family and others in his community (社区) to have better lives. |
