Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120．She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. 
So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips(窍门). She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115．However, until recently she drank two glassed of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86．
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:
Sorry, I’m still alive!
69．How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
A. She is miserable and unhappy.       
B. She is cheerful and humorous.
C. She would like to live much longer.      
D. She feels she is going to die very soon.
70．Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to _______.
A. smoking only a little every day
B. her giving up smoking and drinking
C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day
D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
71．Which of the following could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?
A. deal    B．trick  C．march      D．sport
72．Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?
A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.

When you think of all the ways your body can get hurt---falling off a bike, stepping on a nail, being bitten by a crazed dog---the aches and pains that come from sitting at a computer may not seem like much.

But more doctors are getting worried about just that. If you sit at a PC the wrong way, the nerves and muscles in your back, neck and arms can get out of line.

Ergonomics is the study of how people work and how jobs and equipment can be designed so that people are safer and more comfortable in the things they do---whether that’s working on a factory assembly line or sitting in front of a computer.

The monitor

You should not have to tilt（倾斜） your neck up or down to lock at the screen. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen.

How far away should you sit? Reach your arm out so your fingertips just touch the screen.

The keyboard

It should be directly in front of you. Don’t unfold the legs on the bottom of the keyboard so that it tilts up toward you---it should be as flat as possible, or even tilted away from you. You want your wrists “neutral,” which means straight, not bent. This puts less strain on your nerves and muscles.

Arms should be close to the body. Don’t look at your fingers as you type. Use a document holder to hold papers at the same level as the monitor. Keep the mouse on the same level as the keyboard and close by--- so you don’t have to reach for it.

The chair

Your feet shouldn’t dangle---the blood will pool in your feet. They should rest flat on the floor, or on phone books, if necessary. Your back needs support. Roll up a towel and stick it there.

The Body

If you think of your body as a collection of right angles when you sit at a computer, you should be just fine.

Your hips should be at a 90-degree angle to your back. That takes the pressure off the spine. And your knees should bend at a 90 degree angle so your feet are flat.

1.The passage mainly talks about        .

A．avoiding pains caused by using PC           B．the science of ergonomics

2.The underlined word “ergonomics” most probably means ______ in Chinese.  

A．管理学           B．人机工程学        C．机械工程学        D．经济学

3.How high should a monitor be placed according to the passage?

A．As high as your arms.

B．A little higher than your eyes.

C．A little lower than your eyes.

D．At the same level as your eyes.

4.How shouldn’t a keyboard be placed?

A．Tilting away from you.                    B．Tilting up toward you.

C．Flat.                                  D．Not mentioned.

5.How should you place your foot?

A．Rest them on a phone book.               B．Rest them on the floor.

C．They should rest flat.                     D．They should dangle.
