Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风） are examples of such diseases. 

Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today. 

Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits. They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods. We eat six times more salt than stone-age people. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin  C. 

People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods. 

56.The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ______. 

A. more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did

B. as humans living 10,000 years ago ate     

C. . more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago

D. more of the same kinds of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago

57. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ______

A. the human body has changed compared with human first appearing on earth

B. the way we live has changed a little     

C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style

D. the way we live today are improper for the human body

58. What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?

A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise. 

B. People today have a lot of alcohol.     

C. . People today have more tobacco. 

D. Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times. 

A wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.

In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm found that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation,  had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity（长寿）than her own class.

“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a consequence, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm.

The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women hodling university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 per cent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.

According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drivers carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated woman may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.

The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.

68. In this passage the author intends to_______.

  A. encourage women to get higher education

B. present the results of a study.

C. analyze the relationship between education and life

D. discuss why women usually live longer than men

69. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because______.

  A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men do

B. most women have higher degrees than their husbands

C. most men marry women with higher degrees

D. women have a leading role in the home life of most families

70. A woman with higher education is likely to_____.

  A. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers.

B. marry a man without many bad habits

C. earn more money than her husband

D. teach her children well

71. We learn from the passage that_______.

  A. a man with a lot of education live longer than one with little.

B. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own.

C. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their families.

D. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated men.

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors — or of people very different from our own — can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.

In history books, objective(客观的) information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez — depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.  Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.  By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy(不圣洁的).

1. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history ____________.

A. shows us the religious beliefs and emotions of a people in addition to political values

B. provides us with information about the daily activities of people in the past

C. gives us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a place

D. all of the above

2. Art is subjective(主观的) in that _________.

       A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it

       B. it can easily rouse our anger or sadness about social problems

       C. it will find a ready echo in our hearts     

       D. both B and C

3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

       A. Unlike Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso and several Mexican artists expressed their political opinions in their paintings.

       B. History books often reveal the compilers’ political views.

       C. Religious art remained in Europe for centuries the only type of art because most people regarded the Bible as the Holy Book.

       D. In the Middle East even today you can hardly find any human and animal figures on palaces or other buildings.

4. The passage mainly discusses __________.

       A. the difference between general history and art history     

       B. the making of art history  

       C. what we can learn from art      

       D. the influence of artists on art history

5. It may be concluded from this passage that __________.

       A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with images of

flowers or geometric forms

       B. history teachers are more objective than artists

       C. it is more difficult to study art history than general history

       D. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible
