A study found that young people have a stronger and more unpleasant scent (气味) than the elderly，while elderly people’s smell was the most distinctive，less intense and unpleasant. Researchers said the change in our smell is driven by the chemicals we release through our glands (腺) and the bacteria on our skin.

To test whether or not it really exists，scientists collected a series of samples from three groups of 12 to 16 donors，aged 20 to 30，45 to 55 and 75 to 95.Volunteers wore special T－shirts fitted with underarm pads (护垫) as they slept for five nights，after which the pads were cut up and put in glass jars. A separate group of 41 people aged 20 to 30 was then asked to smell two jars at a time and asked which group of the donors was older，as well as rating how strong and unpleasant each smell was.

When asked to specify whether a particular sample was from a young，middle aged or old person，they were much more successful at identifying older people. Despite being the most distinctive，the older people’s smell was also rated as being obviously less intense and less unpleasant than those from the other groups.

Researchers said their findings appeared to contradict people's negative ideas about the old person’s smell but admitted other factors，like smelly breath or skin，could be to blame for its bad reputation.

“Similar to other animals，humans can give off body scents that allow us to identify biological age，avoid sick individuals and pick a suitable partner. Elderly people have a distinctive scent that younger people consider to be not very unpleasant. This was surprising given the popular conception of old age scent as smelly. However，it's possible that other sources of body scents，such as skin or breath，may have different qualities,” said Dr Johan Lundstrom，who led the study.

1.What do we know from the study?

A．People of different ages give off different scents.

B．People's scent can only be changed by the bacteria on their skin.

C．People show great interest in old people's scent.

D．People's scent can help distinguish a man and a woman.

2.Which of the following ages of people have the chance to participate in the study?

A．16 B． 77 C．74 D．56

3.According to the passage, people usually think that________．

A．old people's scent is simply from their breath

B．old people have a bad reputation mainly for their skin

C．old people's scent is terrible and unpleasant

D．old people give off a more pleasant scent

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To tell old people how to remove their terrible scent.

B．To prove that people often hold wrong ideas.

C．To show how researchers carried out their study about the scent.

D．To report the findings of a study about people's scent.

For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.

This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).

Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland’s Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive(连续的) days.

Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.

Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy(皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.

On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.

“The biological and psychological mechanisms(机体) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren’t consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.

1.What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study?

A. What they wrote.

B. Where they wrote.

C. When they wrote.

D. How often they wrote.

2.According to the text, the experiment lasted .

A. about three days B. about a month

C. about two weeks D. about ten days

3.The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A. speeded B. showed C. limited D. ruined

4. What would be the best title of the text?

A. Sharing with others can reduce stress.

B. Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.

C. Expressive writing heals physical wounds.

D. Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.

Here is some information from a tourist guide to Patapsco Valley state Park Maryland, USA.

Wildlife and Nature Appreciation

While visiting Patapsco Valley State Park, you will see a variety of natural habitats. Throughout spring and fall, dogwoods, maples, redbuds, and many varieties of wildflowers color the forest. This park is also home to many small mammals and birds. If you pause during your journey through the forest, you are likely to see rabbits, grey squirrels, and red foxes. Along the banks of the river, birdwatchers will spot Canada geese and wood ducks all year round

Fishing

The Patapsco River meanders through the park and is a popular attraction for anglers (钓鱼者). The Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Service assigns the river as a put-and-take fishery(渔场) with adult rainbow and brown trout in spring and fall. Anglers also enjoy catching naturally reproducing smallmouth and largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and yellow perch.

Fishing opportunities have been specially set aside at Lost Lake for youth under 16 and seniors 62 years of age and older. This area is also designed for anglers with disabilities.

Trails

Adventure seekers will enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding on the park's popular trail system. More than 17 miles of challenging and rough single track trails follow the ridges, steep hillsides and stream valleys in the park. These trails are also excellent gateways for wildlife viewing, birdwatching and general nature appreciation. Please respect the rights of nearby private property owners by using only blazed (有路标的) trails. Remember that the park is a natural area with certain dangers, such as poison ivy, slippery trail surfaces, insects, etc.  You are responsible for having the necessary skills, knowledge and equipment for a safe visit.

In the 1700s, the valley became one of the earliest sites for America’s Industrial Revolution. Early settlers cut down trees for charcoal used to fire iron furnaces(熔炉). The river’s current was dammed and channeled to power iron, paper, grain and textile mills (纺织厂). Towns and tobacco farms were established throughout the valley.
