6．Doctors Say Most Heart Disease PreventableHeart disease is the number one killer，worldwide，of men and women over the age of 60．But people of all ages die of heart attacks each year．And while death rates have declined in the U．S．and many western European countries，they are on the rise in the developing world．（16）D
No one would have guessed that Barbara Teng would have a heart attack．She was not overweight．She did not smoke or exercise．"In 2004，the week after I turned 49，when I was on a business trip in Chicago，I had a major heart attack，"she said．（17）AShe now exercises daily，and monitors her heart health．
Dr．Patrice Nickens，who is with the National Heart，Lung and Blood Institute，thinks that heart disease is 82percent preventable．"（18）E，"she said，"Men are also facing the same problem，and the key to staying healthy is knowing your numbers"．
"Your weight，your blood cholesterol，blood sugar and your blood pressure are important numbers that can help you take action and reduce your risk，"she said．（19）
F
"And the steps to take are simple：don't smoke，maintain a healthy weight，exercise，know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks，"she said．
African-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke； people don't even know they have it，which increases the risk．Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population．（20）G．For example，helping the people monitor their blood pressure．If people realize they are at risk for heart disease，they'll make lifestyle changes：lose weight，exercise，eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctor．

5．I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50years ago．While any of these statements might be true，they are practically impossible to prove scientifically．Still，I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s．In fact，the analysis showed，normal children aged 9to 17exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50years ago．
Why are America's kids so stressed？The report cites two main causes：increasing physical isolation（隔离） brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community，among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place．
Considering that we can't turn the clock back，adults can still do plenty to help the next generation．
At the top of the list is nurturing（培育） a better appreciation of the limits of individualism．No child is an island．Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress．
To help kids build stronger connections with others，you can pull the plug on TVs and computers．Your family will thank you later．They will have more time for facetoface relationships，and they will get more sleep．
Limit the amount of virtual（虚拟的） violence your children are exposed to．It's not just video games and movies； children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news．
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable．Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale．
Make exercise part of your daily routine．It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids．Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable．But it doesn't have to ruin your life．

4．Job Interviews
You have the education and the work experience； now all you need is the job．Most people spend more time getting ready for an evening out than they do preparing for a job interview．There are several things you can do to have a successful job interview．Here are some of them：
1．Know about the company where you are trying to get a job．Find out what the company does and who their competitors（竞争者） are．
2．Know yourself．Most interviewers will ask a question related to your strengths and weaknesses．Before the interview，examine the job you are applying for and determine the top skills needed for that position．For instance，if you are applying for a job as a telephone operator，it's more important that you have strong communication skills than that you are tidy．
3．Have proof．It's easy to say you have good organization skills．But if you can tell the interviewer about a time you organized an event，it makes the claim much more solid．
4．Prepare questions to ask about the company and the job．
An interview is a stressful event．When you are under pressure，it can be difficult to think straight．Preparing before the interview will make it easier to give answers to those tough questions．But you can't think of every question they might ask．So relax and be confident．Remember，first impressions are lasting．

3．For many people around the world，a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next，surrounded by too many uncomfortable，impatient people．But on the Moscow Metro，taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site．Depending on where you get off，you'll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows，marble（大理石）columns，gilded （鎏金的）mosaics and painted scenes from Russian history．
"These extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station I've ever seen，"says Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny．
When Burdeny，who himself has a master's degree in architecture，first found out about Moscow's metro stations，he was struck by the work of art．In all，he has photographed 20of the most beautiful stations．
Burdeny had originally planned to focus on Russian stations more generally，taking photos of examples in both St．Petersburg and Moscow．
"But when I saw the stations in Moscow，they just completely blew away the St．Petersburg ones，"he says．
Shooting in the subway sounds simple，but it is not without challenges．For one thing，Burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 12：30a．m．and 5：30a．m．，when the stations were closed．
In the end，he settled on Arbatskaya Metro Station，whose vaulted （拱顶的） arches he found the most beautiful．But it also represented a challenge he was not sure he was able to overcome：conveying the hugeness of the spaces．The Arbatskaya platform，for example，stretches 820feet．"Some of the arches are quite long，"he says．"When you enter them，they're just so completely grand．"

1．The Puritans （新教徒） get a bad reputation in America-especially when it comes to alcohol．
Mayflower，the first ship that came over from England to Massachusetts Bay，actually carried more beer than water．In fact the Founding Fathers of America liked a drink-Samuel Adams was a partner in his father brewery，and Thomas Jefferson was famous for importing European wines．
Early Americans took a healthful small drink for breakfast，whiskey was a typical lunchtime drinks ale （麦芽酒） accompanied supper and the day ended with another drink called nightcap．Most Americans in 1790consumed an average of 5.8gallons of pure alcohol a year．In 1830，consumption reached 7.1gallons a year and alcoholism was starting to have a serious influence on communities．Women and children might be in physical danger if the man of the house began drinking．If he became ill or lost his job through drinking，there was no social safety net to support or protect his family．Eventually，alcoholism was being treated as a disease．
By the late 19th Century，support for Prohibition，banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol，was powerful．The first arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol was in 1897．On 16January 1919，Prohibition was set into law．However，by the 1930s when American economy was experiencing a hard time it was widely believed that making alcohol legal again would provide badly-needed jobs and taxes．So in February of 1933，Prohibition was ended．Still，Prohibition had a great influence on alcohol drinking in this country．In 1955，Americans drank an average of 2.3gallons of pure alcohol a year．The Prohibition movement was still quite strong after Prohibition ended and it led to a lot of local prohibition on alcohol．
The American presidency has done a lot to rehabilitate alcohol and make it respectable again．Presidents Richard Nixon，Jimmy Carter，Bill Clinton，Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama can all be seen on film drinking socially and making official toasts with international celebrities．
