Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old － or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.

Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life. People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of traveling long distances to work by bus, car or train. They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields. They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West. For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors. There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.

Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success. First, live in the right place. Second, choose the right kind of job. Doctors, dentists and bus－drivers die young. Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer. If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.

An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life. “I was young then，” he said, as he described his 87th year. His secret was: “Think young and stay young.” An old woman from Missouri, the USA, gave this advice, “Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day.” An English lady just said, “Take a cold bath every morning.” The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr Jim Chapman, aged 103. “Just keep breathing，” he told reporters.

C．A dentist.

2.We can see from the passage that long－lived people avoid ______.

If you walk around in some public places, you will notice most of smokers are young people

and some are still middle school students . It is said that in China the number of people smoking

are about 45% . Why do so many people smoke? Some think smoking gives themselves pleasure.

Some even think that smoking can refresh them. In the fact, smoking is a bad habit that makes

great harm to people’s health . Studies of smoking shows that many kinds of diseases have   anything to do with smoking. Smoking itself is a waste, that costs one so much money. Besides

, many fires are often causing by careless smokers. Today more and more people all over the

world want to give up smoking . If you are not a smoker, never start.

 

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.

Some experts tell us boundaries are healthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

   The key question is: Does that matter?

   When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)

   But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it?

1. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?

   A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

   B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

  C. There should be a distance even between friends.

   D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.

2. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” because ______.

   A. modern society has finally entered a much opened society

   B. people leave privacy around when using modern technology

   C. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairs

   D. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy

3. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.

   A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefit

   B. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secret

   C. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefit

   D. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit

4. The best title for the passage could be _________?

   A. Is Privacy As Important As Health

   B. What Can Be Done to Protect the Privacy

   C. Does Privacy Matter

   D. Does Modern Technology Reveal Privacy

 

 

In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world?

“It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams,” said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’s sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions.

But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?

In Sun Yunxiao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is “more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read.” Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day.

This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.

“Let’s look at what we ask of our teenage girls,” says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection.

Today’s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. “Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect.” Stephen Hinshaw sums up.

1.The passage suggests that              .

A．our society asks far too much of teenage girls

B．teenage girls shouldn’t be so perfect at school

C．boys are always lazy ones rather than girls

D．American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls

2. According to the passage, it is true that              .

A．boys are less smart than girls throughout school life

B．boys usually don’t have so much pressure as girls do

C．girls are all fond of the Chinese education system

D．girls are better at school because boys don’t work hard

3.The underlined word “outperform” means              .

A．hate

B．misunderstand

C．like

D．defeat

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A．Impossibly Perfect Is Possible．

B．Why Are Girls So Perfect?

C．Perfect? Pressure Every Day!

D．Perfect: Boys or Girls?
