3．Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．
Wide uptake of cholesterol-busting statin drugs（降胆固醇药），healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular（心血管的） problems．
However，heart disease remains Britain's biggest killer．
The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．
Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova-see more than 1，000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．
Overall，heart disease causes 45percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．
But researchers said that across Europe  it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said："Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41per cent among men．"

5．A television series is fast gaining its word-of-mouth （61）popularity（popular） among not only Chinese households but also some foreigners．The drama，（62）called（call） In the Name of the People，offers viewers，（63）particularly（particular） foreigners，an opportunity to better understand China's politics and culture and also the nations'iron-fist resolve in the fight （64）againstcorruption（腐败）among the country's officials．The drama is （65）aneffort rarely seen in recent memory that carries the anti-corruption topic onto mainstream television．Before that，the discussion of this topic was widespread （66）butmostly remains private in Chinese society．
"I was quite（67）impressed（impress）by the jaw-dropping scene（68）wherethe cash hidden on a giant wall was found in a low-level official's house．It is a bribe（行贿）he's accepted which is worth 230 million yuan （about 33 million U．S．dollars"，said Eric Ivarsen from Norway，a master's student （69）majoring（major）in the public management and social development at the University of Chinese Academy of Science．
"My subject has a very high requirement of knowledge about Chinese politics and culture．After watching the drama，I（70）better（well）understand China's political terms，for example，seats order according to official rankings，languages being used in a meeting，which is quite different from my country，"lvarsen added．
11．Scientists study the natural world by using"scientific method"．When a scientist observes some phenomenon in nature，he develops an idea，called a theory or hypothesis （假设），about what is happening．Then he does an experiment to test his theory．If the results are as expected，then the experiment proves the hypothesis which makes it more likely that the theory is correct．If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected，then the scientist must come up with a new theory that he can test．
   In ancient times great thinkers came up with complicated theories to explain nature，but they did not always prove them by experiment．For example，the great Greek thinker Aristotle，had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects．People believed this until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it was wrong．
    Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory：
    Step 1：Get an empty bottle with a small neck．A diameter （直径） of 1/2 inch should be ideal．
    Step 2：Cut a sheet of paper to a square 5 inches on each si de．
    Step 3：Crumple （压皱） the paper into a tight wad （块状物）．
    Step 4：Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely in the neck of the bottle．
    Construct a theory about what will happen if you put your mouth about a half inch from the neck of the bottle and blow hard towards it．A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle by the force of the breath．Now do your experiment to see what really happens．
    If your theory was that the wad would be blown by the force of the air into the bottle，the experiment gave you unexpected results．In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction．A new theory might be that the air being blown into the bottle creates a whirlwind （旋风） of air currents （气流） in the closed space which push the wad out．
29．The writer mentions Aristotle's theory to showD．
A．he was a greater thinker in ancient times
B．he was less successful than Galileo
C．objects of different weights fall at the same speed
D．experiments are necessary to support theories
30．According to the passage，what is not required in the four-step experiment？A
A．A pair of scissors．
B．A piece of paper．
C．A bottle．
D．A strong breath．
31．What's the best title for the passage？D
A．Come to Nature with Scientists

8．This is the season for giving．Looking to get in touch with your generous side？Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers．
1．（36）A   Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person．Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value．
2．They don't focus on cost．
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits，but that doesn't mean givers should focus on expensive gifts．（37）DIt seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion（同情）．And isn't compassion what this time of year is all about？So don't take it too hard if you don't have a lot to spend．（38）B
3．They make gifts personal．
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him，and show how well you know him．（39）GBook a massage （按摩），take them to a wine tasting event，or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show．If you're buying for a parent，taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all．
4．They think about the presentation．（40）ESee what you have around your house to customize packaging．You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine．You can also tie on a decoration that fits the theme of your gift．
A．They plan ahead．
B．Instead，get creative．
C．They enjoy giving more than receiving．
D．In fact，thoughtful gift givers don't concentrate on the cost of presents．

F．Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone．
G．If you're buying for someone who seems to have everything，consider gifting an experience．
15．For many people，particularly immigrants，the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House．Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House，yet he managed tomake his own dream come true．
He came from a farm in Italy．One evening I found him standing behind my garage．
"I mow （割草） your lawn，"he said．It was hard to comprehend his broken English．
I asked him his name．"Tony Trivisonno，"he replied．"I mow your lawn．"I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener．
"I mow your lawn，"he said again，then walked away．Yes，these Depression days were difficult，but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help？
When I got home from work the next evening，the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept．I asked mywife what had happened．
"A man had worked on the yard，"she answered．"I thought you had hired him．"
I told her of my experience the night before．We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay．
The next Friday，I saw Tony again，behind the garage．I praised him for the work he had done．
"I mow your lawn，"he said．
I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay，and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks．My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix．
Summer passed into fall，and winds blew cold．"Mr．Craw，snow pretty soon，"Tony told me one evening．"When winter comes，you give me job clearing snow at the factory．"
Well，how do you deal with such determination and hope？Of course，Tony got his job at the factory．
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage．"I want to be apprentice （学徒）"he said．
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers．But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work．Still，how could I turn him down？
Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice．Months later，I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder （磨工）．My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved．
A year or two passed，and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place．"Mr．Craw，"he said，"I like to buy a house．"In the town，he had found a completely old house for sale．
I called on a banker friend．"Do you ever loan money on character？"I asked．"No，"he said．
"Now，wait a minute，"I replied．"Here is a hard-working man，a man of character，I can promise you that．He's got a good job．And he will pay your interest．"
   Unwillingly，the banker loaned Tony 2，000 and helped him buy the house．Tony was delighted．From the non，it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
   After about two years，I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot．He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident．
"Mr．Craw，I sell the house and buy a farm．"
   We sat down and talked．He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．With asatisfied look in his eye，he told me that when they came to his little farm，his friend stood in amazement and said，"Tony，you are a millionaire!"
   Then，during the World WarⅡ，news came from my company that Tony had passed away．
   When my people came to visit his family，they found the farm green with vegetables，the little house comfortable and homey．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
   Tony，as well as all the greatest American businessmen，had reached their success in the same way and by the same values：vision，determination，optimism，self-respect and，above all，honesty．
   Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream．But he didn't find it-he created it for himself．All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them．

A young man called LowCarbon Brother become a hit on the Internet in 2011．He is still active in protecting the environment．He suggests living a lowcarbon life，which means using less energy in our daily life so that we can help reducing carbon dioxide in the air．For example，she always picks up some waste paper on the street or uses the blank side to write something．While he is watching TV，he always turns up the screen brightness to the minimum and turns off the light．Therefore，he goes to work by bike instead of driving．Some people think what he is doing is just a show．No one can live such a simply life with so many modern invention around us．As far as I am concerned，I am strongly in support his idea and his behavior．Although what he is doing has no huge effect on global warming，but he at least can enjoy a healthy life．
