Imagine your body is like the house you live in.Every day, your family creates rubbish.The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.
Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected.You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week.The following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week.But again, only two bags are collected.Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.
This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾脏)don't work efficiently.Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products.Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.
It's not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms.There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection (诊查)difficult.
Kidney's main job is to remove toxins(毒素) and unwanted water from our blood.Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood.Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no obvious pain.
Research shows that more than 35% of the patients requiring dialysis(透析)do not see a kidney specialist before they have to do so.Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage.Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes (糖尿病)and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades.Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercises, which are the potential (潜在的) risk factors for the kidney disease.

A.it doesn't matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time
B.our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently
C.it's important for our body to empty the waste in time every day
D.it's safe and harmless for our body to keep some waste
【小题2】The underlined word “insidious” in Paragraph 3 means         .

【小题1】C 推理题。根据文章第二段Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected.You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week.The following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week.But again, only two bags are collected.Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.可知如果我们不及时清理体内的毒素,我们的身体会出很大的问题。故C项正确。
【小题2】C 推理题。根据本句Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins可知这种破坏的过程是渐进的,慢慢的,会导致肾脏功能的衰竭。故该词是逐渐的,慢慢地。故C正确。
【小题3】D 推理题。根据文章第4段It's not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms.There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection (诊查)difficult.可知百分之90的症状是看不出来的,也就是如果我们已经发现了,那么问题可能已经很严重了。故D正确。
【小题3】A 细节题。根据文章最后一段as age and genetic make-up are out of our control;和overweight and not getting enough exercises,以及diabetes (糖尿病)and high blood pressu可知文章中一共提及了6个因素。故A正确。

At a recent luncheon(午餐会), Yao Ming, an well-known Chinese basketball players, was introduced to the CEOs of IBM, FedEx, Motorola, Disney, AOL Time Warner and visiting former Chinese President, Jiang Zemin. Other deals include Nike, Sorrent, and China Unicom.

In the end Yao is expected to earn much more in endorsement deals than his four-year,$18-million salary to play center for the Houston Rockets.

    “His friendly personality is real”, says Jimmy Siegel, who as vice-chairman, senior executive creative director at BBDO New York was behind Yao’s “Yo!” commercial for the Visa check card.

    “He’s very much what you’d imagine,” says Siegel. “He’s very modest, down to Earth, somewhat self-effacing(不爱抛头露面的)and somewhat quiet but I think that’s part of the language problem.”

Despite all the attention, Ming’s bank account is still a far cry from Jordan’s or Woods’, who each earn between$40 million and $60 million every year in endorsement.

Unlike Jordan and Woods--who are unquestionably the best in the world at what they do--there’s no way to know how long Yao Ming will remain the king of the NBA—he’s only been here for six months.

4. Why is it Yao Ming’s bank account still much less than Jordan’s or Woods’?

A. He is not as good a player as Jordon or Woods.

B. He will earn only 18 million in 4 years in the future.

C. His endorsement income is now lower than Jordan’s or Woods’.

D. He has only been in the States for six months.

5. What is the part reason why Yao Ming is self-effacing and quiet according to Siegel?

C. Because Yao Ming had language problem.

D. Because Yao Ming didn’t meet his best friend here.
