7．你了解美丽的内陆山国瑞士吗？你知道瑞士人讲什么语言吗？
School children in eight German-speaking states of Switzerland are to learn English，rather than French，as their second language．
Education bosses said that pupils would now start learning English four years earlier than at present-in the third year instead of the seventh．
The teaching of French-Switzerland's second most widely spoken language after German would start in the fifth year．
The move follows a decision by the mainly German-speaking canton of Zurich two years ago to make English the first foreign language to be taught in schools in place of French．
Officials in Zurich said the measure was justified （证明）because English was increasingly becoming the most important language in both professional and personal circles．
But critics （评论家）of the decision are mainly native French and Italian speakers．They said learning the languages of other Swiss nationals had helped the country to live in harmony，avoiding the ethnic tensions （种族紧张关系），for example，in Spain．
Around 64% of the Swiss population is German-speaking，while French speakers make up nearly 19% of the population．
Italian is the mother-tongue of 5% of Swiss nationals and a small group speak Romansch，a descendant （后裔）of Latin．
The situation is complicated by the fact that 20% of those living in Switzerland are foreigners，speaking a variety of languages．

55．Four main languages are spoken in Switzerland，they areB．
A．French，English，German and Italian
B．German，French，Italian and Romansch
C．English，Chinese，German and Japanese
D．German，French，Italian and Chinese
56．From the passage，we can learn thatC．

8．In the Caucasus region of Russia，nearly 50out of every 100，000people live to celebrate their 100th birthday，and many don't stop at 100!By comparison，in America only 3people in 100，000reach 100．But these Russian old people aren't alone．The Pakistanis，who live high in the Himalaya Mountains，and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life，too．
These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time．While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s，some Caucasians aged 100to 140，work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren．Even the idea of aging is foreign to them．When asked"at what age does youth end？"most of these old people had no answer．Several replied，"Well，perhaps at age 80．"
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age，and to survive so well？First of all，hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people．They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop．For example，Mr．Rustam Mamedov is 142years of age．His wife is 116years old．They have been married for 90years．Mr．Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer．"Why？What else would I do？"he asks．All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work．They all come from mountainous regions．They live and work at elevations of 1，660to 1，000meters above sea level．The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free．This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel（血管） system stronger．
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation．To a great extent，they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society．Inherited factors also play some role．Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages．Good family genes may，therefore，be one factor in living longer．
56．The example of Mr．and Mrs．Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to 140C．
A．become weak and hopeless             B．are too old to work in the fields
C．benefit from physical work             D．are still working in the fields
57．What is the main way of life for all of these long-lived people？C
A．Retiring from their lives as farmers．B．Having been married for 90years．
C．Hard physical work．D．Having no intentions．
58．Which of the following factors isn't helpful to people's health and long life？D
A．Clean mountain air．B．Daily hard work．
C． Good genes             D． Stress and pressure．

5．When most people imagine a classroom，they think of older people teaching younger ones．But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices（设备）．the opposite can often be true．That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia，Maryland．The 50Plus Center offers free technology classes for adults aged 50and older．The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children．
73-year-old Myra Stafford signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her Wad．She is learning quickly about the device and enjoys learning from younger people．
"I am more confident today than before．Working with young people makes it wonderful because that's all they know and they didn't make me feel that I was old or dumb．"
Meridy McCague，director of the 50Plus Center，added the senior technology work shop last year．She says the classes are necessary for seniors to connect with the world round them．
"As people are aging，their worlds get a little smaller．Some of them can no longer drive to see their relatives．And it bring，them back out into Facebook，or Skype．They can do everything from ordering things from Amazon now．"
Kerry Hannon，a career and retirement expert，says teaching senior citizens about technology can prove helpful for the economy（经济）．
"About a third of the Internet users in general are over 50．As seniors get more excited about using the technology，they're going into the market place and buying it．So that's a boom （繁荣）for economy right there．"
Madison Lam，a 17-year-old teacher，says she also learns a lot from helping seniors．"I think I've learned a lot on how to connect with people and work with them because I'm usually a shy person．And more than that．I've also found out how to add value to life．"

6．Shaving all of your hair off isn't an easy thing to do．
But it's just what several dozen Americans choose to do each year to support friends and family with cancer who often don't have a choice but to go bald because of the effects of treatment．This year the popular Bald is Beautiful fundraiser（募捐）was held in New Hampshire on March 13．
Some say going bald is the least they can do for friends with cancer．
"I don't think hair decides who we are，but it's certainly something we're very protective of"，said Rebecca Pratt，a nurse at Cheshire Medical Center in New Hampshire．

The team called"Andrea's Angels"was formed in honor of Cheshire Medical Center employee Andrea Smith，who died of cancer．
Last year，Bald is Beautiful events in the area raised about﹩40，000．The money goes toward basic requirements for cancer patients，including painkillers，gas money and groceries．It helps to reduce some of the financial burdens that come with illness．
Pratt said the act of shaving it all off can be emotional，but it's always worth it．
"It's   intimidating in the very beginning to think of losing all your hair，"she said．But she added that any anxiety she might have about shaving her head is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to deal with．
