【题目】A firm handshake could be a sign of a longer life expectancy (预期寿命), according to British researchers. Scientists at the Medical Research Council found that elderly people who could still give a firm handshake and walk at a quick pace were likely to outlive their slower peers.

They found simple measures of physical capability like shaking hands, walking, getting up from a chair and balancing on one leg were related to the life expectancy, even after accounting for age, sex and body size. The study is the first to provide a comprehensive (综合的) view of the existing data from 33 studies. “These measures have been used in population-based research for quite a long time,” said Rachel Cooper of the Medical Research Council’s Unit for Lifelong Health and Aging. “They may be useful indicators for subsequent health.”

Cooper, whose study appears in the British Medical Journal, said more studies are needed to clarify whether the measures would be helpful to doctors as a screening tool. “I wouldn’t suggest that we roll them out into clinical practice tomorrow, but it is possible that they could be used in the future,” she told the media.

The researchers examined 33 studies involving tens of thousands of people, most of whom were aged over 60 but living in the community rather than in hospital or care homes. The researchers found that those with the strongest hand grasps tended to live longer than those with weak grips. The death rate over the period of the studies for people with weak handshakes was 67 percent higher than for people with a firm grip.

The slowest walkers were nearly three times more likely to die during the study period than swifter walkers. The people who were slowest to get up from a chair had about double the death rate compared to the quick risers.

“Those people in the general population who have higher physical capability levels are likely to live longer,” Cooper said.

c. getting up

d. weight lifting

e. walking

A. a, b, c, e

B. a, c, d, e

C. b, c, d, e

【2】 What does Cooper think about the measures of physical capability?

A. They are of little help to doctors.

B. They can’t be used as a screening tool.

C. They can be applied to medical practice.

D. They are potentially beneficial to people.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. People who walk quickly and shake hands firmly have a lower death rate.

B. People with the strongest hand grasp are more outgoing.

C. Most of the people who received the study live in the community.

D. People who always sit are more likely to die than those who stand.

【4】 In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find this passage?

A. Sports.

【题目】Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(理想的) friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.

What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends(胜过，超越) all these. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

Your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all these and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.

【1】What's the function of the first passage?

A．To come up with the question for the further discussion.

B．To explain the main idea of the following passage.

C．To tell us the whole meaning of the passage.

D．To advise us to make friends in different way.

【2】How do you do to make real friends?

A．You should give others your everything.

B．You should share, help and understand each other.

C．You should have the same interests in everything.

D．Friend in need is a friend indeed.

【3】If you are friends, you'll ________.

A．dream of him at night

B．lie awake at night and think your friend

C．feel you don't meet him for a long time

D．never feel excited meeting your friend

【4】The writer gives us the article to ________.

A．tell us the meaning of love and friendship.

B．tell us relationship between friends and relatives.

C．tell us the difference between love and friendship.

D．tell us how to get friendship and love.
