Living among trees, plants and flowers can fill your life with beauty. And if you are a woman, it can also help you live longer. Researchers found that women who live in homes surrounded by plants appear to have lower death rates than women who live in areas with fewer plants.
Researchers at Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Public Health reported the finding. They looked at the information from one of the largest and oldest investigations of the women's health: the Nurse's Health Study. It began 40 years ago. It now has information on nearly 200,000 women.
For the new study, the team looked at the death rates of more than 100,000 women between the years 2000 and 2008. Then the researchers compared the death rates of these women to the plants around their homes. The researchers also considered other things, such as the age of the women, money they earn and race. They also looked at whether or not the women smoked.
The study found that the death rate among women who lived in the greenest spaces was 12% lower than those from the least green areas. The researchers were surprised to find such a strong connection between high vegetation levels and low death rates.
The study suggested that living among trees, flowers and other plants lowered levels of depression. Researchers said women in greener areas spent more time with other people and exercised more. It is common knowledge that plants can help the environment in many ways. The new finding also suggested ways to the government and the city planners to grow even healthier living areas.
(1)How did the researchers divide the women in the study?
A.By their money.
B.By their different ages.
C.By their habit of smoking.
D.By the number of plants around them.
(2)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A.more and more women will plant trees
B.it will be a must to build houses with trees around
C.the new finding may influence future living conditions
D.the government will take action to make women healthier
(3)What is the best title of this passage?
A.Women should grow flowers at home
B.Plants may help women live longer
C.Women must exercise more to keep healthy
D.The bad environment causes high death rates

Americans drove more miles in 2015 than any year since the U.S. government started keeping records 45 years ago. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDT) recently reported that Americans drove a record of 3.148 trillion miles last year. In case you are wondering, that is enough to take 337 round trips from Earth to Pluto.
There are a number of reasons why Americans are driving more miles. The social experts agree that the first is the price of gas, which has dropped to the level of the year 2004 in the past year. The American Automobile Association (AAA) said that the average price of gas was just $1.71 a gallon. That could be the lowest price since 2004.
P.J. Sriraj, a director of the Urban Transportation Center at the University of Chicago, notes that the lower cost to fill up a car is just one reason. Another reason is that more Americans are back to work after the 2008 economic recession, and they drive to their jobs.
Besides, more Americans have to travel a long distance every day between home and the office. There are a lot of Americans who must travel more than 45 miles per day for their jobs. And as for many, there is not enough public transportation.
Because of the heavy traffic, roads are becoming more and more crowded. While modern cars are more fuel-efficient, the improvement is not enough to offset more cars on the road. “There is no doubt that driving more will make the air dirtier,” said P.J. Sriraj. And many Americans showed a great concern in a recent survey.
(1)The USDT report shows that in 2015 ________.
A.Americans drove record-breaking miles
B.Americans drove 3.148 trillion miles a day
C.Travel to Pluto was popular with Americans
D.The government began to record driving miles
(2)P.J. Sriraj thinks the reason why Americans drove more miles is ________.
A.the low prices of gas and cars
B.the 2008 economic depression
C.the Urban Transportation Center
D.more people's coming back to work
(3)What makes many Americans worried?
A.Having to drive far to work.
B.Having no public transportation.
C.Too many cars' pollution of the air.
D.Small improvement of modern cars.
(4)How is the whole passage developed?
A.By explaining causes.
B.By giving examples.
C.By following time order.
D.By making comparison.
