14．Flaubert had it that"one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party"．It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence，but actually lengthens it．
A recent study by Yale University researchers，published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine，concluded that"book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12years of follow-up compared to non-book readers．"
The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging．The study looked at 3，635 subjects，all older than 50，whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didn't read books，those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week．
The findings were remarkable：on average，book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book．The more the subjects read，the longer they lived，but that as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival．
Accounting for factors such as education level，income and health status，the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period．Those who read up to 3.5 hours-an average of a half-hour a day-were 17 percent less likely．
In other words，just like a healthy diet and exercise，books appear to promote a"significant survival advantage，"the authors concluded．
Why or how that's the case remains unclear； the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity，not a causal relationship．But the findings are not so surprising．Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy．

12．Pink has never been one of the favorite colors of the fashion industry，as it's often seen as silly and not cool enough．But this spring，it's having its moment in the spotlight，all thanks to the fact that the color is no longer all about being girly and sweet．Instead，pink is taking on a new meaning of independence and power．
This shift happened last month during the Women's March．Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of major cities in the US and in countries all around the world to protest（抗议）against the disrespect to women．What was unusual about the protests is that a lot of people taking part were wearing pink hats，making the streets appear like a"sea of pink"．Even though the hats were without any slogan（标语），their pink color is thought to have sent out a message that is louder than any words．"We women have power and we're not going to sit down and shut up，"Aileen Gildea，one of the protesters in the US，told The Boston Globe．
Now young people are changing their attitudes to pink．They are no longer trying to escape pink，but give new meanings to it instead．
"Women who came before us…to be taken seriously they had to get away from the symbols used to make women seem less capable．Younger women don't have that reaction．They're more interested in breaking and rebuild those symbols，"Audrey Gelman，a businesswoman in the US，told The Wall Street Journal．
So sometimes it's not the thing itself that needs to be changed，but the way we look at it．And in the case of pink，what used to be seen as silly may be turned into something really serious．

A．independence

D．Women should have the right to choose whatever colors．
23．The last paragraph implies that sometimes it is necessary toA．

D．tell something silly from something serious．

13．Spring soccer season is under way，and many youth leagues are playing under new safety rules．In November，the US Soccer Federation said that players on its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball Players ages 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading．The new rules are made to prevent kids from getting concussions （脑震荡）-injuries caused by a blow to the head that shakes the brain．Common problems include headaches and dizziness．Severe concussions can lead to long brain damage．
Heading the ball can be one of the riskiest parts of soccer．Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions．But more often，players receive concussions when they accidentally knock heads with other players and hit their heads on the grass．"More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，"explains Dr．Robert Cantu，an expert on brain injuries．
So far，the new rules are made only to teams that are part of the US Soccer Federation．But the group says it hopes other leagues will soon follow its example．
Former US soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading in youth soccer．She applauds the rule change．Last month，Chastain showed her determination of learning more about the effects of heading when she promised to donate her brain to science after she dies．
"If there's any information to be gathered on the study of someone like me，who has played soccer for 40 years，it feels like my responsibility，"Chastain told The New York Times．

C Players must receive concussions when knocking heads with other players．
D．The act 0f heading can cause more concussions than other actions in soccer．
