Georgia was waking up to a new president Monday but it was also getting as its first lady a green?eyed linguist from Holland who has already managed to cast a spell over the little Caucasus nation. Sandra Roelofs is seen by some as the secret weapon which enables her husband Saakashvili to win in this presidential election.

       She runs an investment consultancy(投资咨询公司), speaks six languages and some believe she is the real brains behind her husband’s rise to power.

       Roelofs, who is a year younger than her husband, met him in 1993 when he was studying an international law programme in Strasbourg, France. She planed to go from there to Somalis as an aid worker but Saakashvili persuaded her to go with him instead to New York, where he had got a scholarship. They married soon after and when Saakashvili returned to his native Georgia to begin a career in politics, she went with him.

       She has enchanted(使人心醉) many of her adopted countrymen. The mention of her name sends women swooning(神魂颠倒), and melts the tough expressions of strong Georgian men.“You can really tell that she cares about people,” says a resident of the capital, Tbilisi.“She runs a hunitarian organization. She is smart and pretty and kind and did you hear the way she speaks Georgian? Perfectly!”

      The new first lady’s looks and intelligence play a large part in her appeal. But Georgians are especially taken by her simple manner. She has said that she plans to keep living in the family’s modest flat, even though they have the right to move into a luxurious government residence. “She doesn’t care about fancy houses and cars.” said Malika, a 29?year?old civil servant in Tbilisi.

11. The underlined part “cast a spell over” means_________.

A. cast a shadow over                                B. attract

C. love                                                     D. respect

12. Which of the following can be best used to describe Sandra Roelofs?

A. Proud.                     B. Hard?working.        C. Charming.         D. Humble.

13.What moves Georgians most is that Sandra Roelofs is very ________.

A. pretty               B. modest                     C. intelligent          D. plain

14. Which is the right order in which Sandra Roelofs did the following?

a. Roelofs married Saakashvili.

       b. She planned to go from France to Somalis as an aid worker.

c. Roelofs runs an investment consultancy.

d. Roelofs came from Holland.

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.

There are many reasons for this, typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”

Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.

Two months ago, Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.

“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.”

According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they are invincible(不可战胜的),” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, “Geez, if it could happen to him, __________.”

Then there is the ostrich approach, “some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.

“Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain(紧张) on the public purse,” Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”

Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?

A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.

B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.

C. They have lived long enough to read this article.

D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.

What is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women according to the author?

A. men drink and smoke much more than women

B. men don’t seek medical care as often as women

C. men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger

D. men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases

Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen

to him, _______”?

A. it could happen to me, too

B. I should avoid playing golf

C. I should consider myself lucky

D. it would be a big misfortune

What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”?

A. a casual attitude towards one’s health conditions

B. a new therapy for certain psychological problems

C. refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved

D. unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal,  51  . Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day. Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work

     The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories  52  . That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight,  53  .

Low-fat Diets Do Not Work

     Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store.  54   . However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low fat lifestyle.

     Losing weight has nothing to do with these things.  55   , such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.

A. and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day

B. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy

C. and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day

D. Another reason is that people don’t play outside

E. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods

F. while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight
