Retired or not?

Is retirement harmful to your health?

It’s an interesting question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts who don’t.

Researchers from the University of Miami examined data on more than 83,000 Americans. All of them were at least 65 years old. 1. The majority of these workers ―61 percent―held white collar positions.

Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.”

2. For example, the survey included information on serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems.

Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do things like stand, walk or climb stairs. 3. .

“Being unemployed or retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures. 4. ”, the study authors concluded.

The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their non-working neighbors. 5. This also makes them sad.

Still understanding the health benefits connected with working past age 65 could motivate business to find ways to hire older workers even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote.

A. People were amazed at the results.

B. Older Americans with jobs also ranked higher on health.

C. 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time.

D. Even after controlling for smoking, people still can’t be healthy.

E. Most retired Americans are reported to be unhealthy for some reason.

F. Retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than white-collar workers to have limitations.

G. Indeed, the authors stated that health problems force some people to drop out of the work.

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations

It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the world's most beautiful bridges. It is also one of the most visited places in the world. Vehicles(车辆) cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year. More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait.

The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County，California.

Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)．

Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.

A special safety net was suspended(挂) under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. However, 11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net. Still, this was a new safety record for the time.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. It extends 1,280 meters across the water. The total length is 2,737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥) in the world until 1964. That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.

1.The Golden Gate Bridge was named after ________．

A．the local climateB．the color of a paint

C．the strait it crossesD．its natural surroundings

2.How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?

A．By plane.B．By boat.C．By road.D．By train.

3.The purpose of suspending a special safety net is to ________.

B．make construction easier

C．prevent workers from falling

D．save building materials from falling

4.What do we know about Joseph Strauss?

A．He attached importance to the workers' safety.

B．His safety measures were not of practical value.

C．He built the first suspension bridge in the world.

D．He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.

I am writing to ask for whether you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, hopeful a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping that at home for some time. With such a pen pal, I hope I can share her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whichever we have in common. I believe I would improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.
