Beginning in October, more than 13,000 McDonald’s (麦当劳)restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald’ s aims to make its French fries (油炸食品) and other fried foods healthier.
The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
McDonald’s new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.
For McDonald’s ,the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity (肥胖) and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious (有营养的) food to consumers.
After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald’s says the change will not cause higher price for consumers.
Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald’s and at other fast-food companies is still important.
【小题1】More than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil to ______________.

A．lower the costs of the products
B．maker its food taste hatter than ever before
C．cure (治愈) the heart disease
D．do good to the health of consumers
【小题2】The underlined ward "switching" here has the same meaning as "   _______ ".
A．turning onB．turning offC．changingD．studying
【小题3】The main idea of the passage is    __________ .
A．McDonald’s is a pioneer in food products
B．McDonald’s is enlarging its restaurants in the world
C．fried foods can’t keep up with the development of modem society
D．McDonald’s is to use new cooking oil
【小题4】When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald’s,     ________ 
A．the prices of McDonald’s foods will be a tot higher
B．consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods different
C．many other food companies will do what McDonald’s does
D．obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later

Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time，according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people．
Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease．Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far．
For the new Japanese study，researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older．
Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older for three years．
They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing．
Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups fl day．
The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older．
Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education．lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness．
They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on．
Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability，Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women．
While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened．
【小题1】Which of the following can summarize the passage best?

A．Green tea makes you less active．
B．Green tea makes you less disabled．
C．Green tea makes you more friendly．
D．Green tea makes you more educated．
【小题2】The underlined word“ward off”in Paragraph 2 probably means     .
A．formB．absorbC．remove D．prevent
【小题3】Tomata and his colleagues wanted to     .
A．prove whether the Japanese study is correct
B．know if green tea drinkers are independent
C．help nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older
D．study green tea's effect on cholesterol
【小题4】Which of the following is NOT the advantage of green tea?
A．Reduce functional disability．
B．Keep old people active．
C．Make more friends．
D．Suffer fewer heart attacks．
【小题5】It can be inferred from the last paragraph     .
A．green tea is safe to drink
B．green tea should be drunk properly
C．green tea is poisonous for old people
D．vitamin K is helpful to us

Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin．One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack．
The study offered two new results from earlier findings, It said taking one aspirin pili every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty．It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels．
Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s．It included 22,000 healthy men doctors．Ail were between the ages of forty and eighty-four．More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug．The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking．
The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill．139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Ten of them died．239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Twenty-six of them died．
The researchers said the doctors' study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men．They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the mage of fifty should take aspirin．They said aspirin couldn't help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat．The researchers said men who think they wou3d be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first．
【小题1】We may learn that the new use of aspirin is ______．

A．to treat heart disease
B．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men
C．to protect old men
D．to reduce the blood cholesterol levels
【小题2】Aspirin can help those who ______．
A．are older and healthy
B．know how to keep fit
C．are fat and smoke cigarettes
D．are suffering from heart attack
【小题3】At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin _____.
A．as we likeB．with careC．every dayD．if we are over fifty
【小题4】From the experiment we can conclude that about ______ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died．
A．7%B．19%C．11%D．44%

Not all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help．So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes （糖尿病） patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it．
Researchers divide 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups．Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine．Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice, while Group C, the control group, did not．This went on for a year of treatments．
By two months into the study, the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine （肾上腺素）, considered to cause stress, which is known to be deadly．After the 12 months, HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure, C-reactive proteins, a maker of heart disease, drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group．
“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion, happy laughter,” said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University．And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful．Still, more study is needed, Berk said．The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry, which was proved in the new study．The research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the US．Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy．
“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to, rather than prevention and treatment,” Berk said in a statement this week．
【小题1】Why did the scientists carry on the new research?

A．To find out if laughter was good to health．
B．To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes．
C．Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world．
D．Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients．
【小题2】After 12 months into the study, ___________．
A．C-reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group C
B．the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groups
C．the level of the hormones epinephrine has dropped
D．C-reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L
【小题3】The underlined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be _______．
A．something bad to our healthB．something good to our health
C．a kind of wonderful medicineD．a kind of dangerous disease
【小题4】In what way does laughter benefit people’s health?
A．Blood is made thick by laughter．
B．Laughter makes blood vessels thin．
C．Laughter increases blood pressure．
D．Laughter makes blood flow fast．
【小题5】According to Berk, we should _________．
A．choose lifestyles carefully

That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol（胆固醇）but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.
Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.
“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal（内分泌）changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝块）in the arteries（动脉）which will cause a heart attack.”
“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.
【小题1】Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows,         .

A．is not so serious as people thought
B．is harmful to working people in developed countries.
C．is the first killer in Germany and Italy.
D．is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
【小题2】To protect people from suffering from heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to    . 
A．people’s working time
B．people’s living place
C．people’s diet and lifestyle
D．people’s nationalities
【小题3】It can be learned from this passage that heart attack has nothing to do with     .
A．blood pressureB．heart rate
C．hormonal changesD．blood group
【小题4】If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?
A．Stop working on Monday
B．Create a pleasant working environment
C．Get up late on Monday morning
D．Go to work with a doctor
