Long long ago, human beings used to walk barefoot. A king happened to travel 16 into the countryside. He was greatly troubled by the 17 roads where gravel(砾石) and broken stones pricked(使刺痛) and numbed(使麻木) his 18 . When he returned to his palace he issued an order that all the roads be 19 with cattle hide(牛皮). He thought it was beneficial not only to 20 but also to his people and hoped 21 would no longer be a painful thing
But 22 all the cattle in the kingdom were killed there 23 not be enough hide to get the work done. Evidently it was a stupid 24 . As it was an imperial order people could do nothing but shake their heads and 25 . At this juncture a clever servant in the palace 26 to make a suggestion. "Your Majesty, why don't take an easier way? You don't have to mobilize（调动）so many people, to have so many oxen killed, nor so much money 27 . What you have to do is simply to cover each of your feet with a piece of hide." Surprised and 28 , the king immediately changed his mind and adopted the 29 .
This is said to be the origin of using 30 to make shoes. Though it sounds 31 and strange, it inspires us to think. It is much easier to change oneself than to change the world. 32 it will be much better for one to change oneself before one 33 an attempt to change the outer world.

Sitting too much is now listed with smoking and junk food as a bad habit that increases your risk of heart disease.

New Australian research shows that half-an-hour in the gym will not make up for the waist-expanding damage caused by spending the rest of the day sitting.

But the good news is that doing chores (家务杂事) in the house or gently walking around the office while on the phone might be enough to keep you fit.

The study joins the growing body of evidence suggesting too much sitting might undo the benefits of exercise.

The study measured the intensity (强度) of physical activities in 168 subjects over seven days. It found that, regardless of how much exercise they did or their total sitting time, those who took more breaks from sitting had lower risk of thick waists and lower levels of blood lipids (脂质).

“Higher levels of blood lipids have been linked to a heightened risk of heart disease,” principal researcher Genevieve Healy of the University of Queensland said. “What the study shows is that there are benefits in just getting up regularly and interrupting your sitting time.”

Researchers behind the Stand Up Australia project have written to the Rudd Government requesting $3.5 million for a two-year study into how long sitting affects health and productivity of workers. The study would also develop and test strategies for reducing sitting time on the job.

The latest study builds on work that is shifting the health promotion focus from purposeful exercise, such as running, to lower intensity activities throughout the day.

The Australian research has been backed up by US studies.

“To hold a body that weighs 77 kilograms upright takes a fair amount of energy from muscles,” said Professor Marc Hamilton from the University of Missouri. “There is a large amount of energy associated with standing every day that cannot be easily replaced by 30 to 60 minutes in the gym.”

56.The study shows that .

A. exercising for 30 minutes in the gym is good after sitting too long

B. walking is the best physical activity after sitting too long

C. sitting too long in the office causes the waist to expand

D. having breaks from sitting is good for your health

57.What’s the aim of the Stand Up Australia project?

A. To develop and test strategies for reducing working time.

B. To study the reasons for the longer sitting time in the office.

C. To develop and test strategies for reducing sitting time at work.

D. To study the factors influencing productivity of workers.

58.The purpose of the last paragraph is to .

A. provide a scientific basis for the benefits of standing up

B. compare the effect of standing with exercising in the gym

C. report the new research findings of Professor Marc Hamilton

D. figure out the amount of energy associated with daily standing

59.The health promotion focus used to be on .

A. purposeful exercise B. running

C. lower intensity activities D. long sitting

60.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Exercise in the Gym Is Out B. Your Office Chair Is Killing You

C. A Cause of Heart Disease D. Good News for Workers

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 travelling 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．Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully．If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you．Secondly, live in the right place．Thirdly, 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, 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．

67．Who is most likely to live a long life?

A．A doctor． B．A bus-driver．

C．A dentist． D．An orchestral conductor．

68．We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid ____．

A．working hard B．drinking

C．eating too much D．taking cold baths

69．The passage indicates that we can change our _____to live a long life．

A．jobs B．places of living

C．ways of living D．ways of thinking

70．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

A．Whose advice is the best．

B．Who is the most long-lived person in the world．

C．Lifestyles of long-lived people．

D．How long-lived people think of' their life．
