BEIJING, March 9-The central government will require an additional three years of use for official
vehicles for ministers (部长) and governors (政府官员) to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars,
media have reported.
The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing
News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese
People"s Political Consultative Conference National Committee. Under the old rules, the cars used by
ministerlevel officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also
continue to use the same cars when they take new posts, he added.
The new rule also reiterated (重申) that officials ranking below ministeror governorlevels should not be
allocated cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.
"It violates the rules for lowerranking-even countylevelofficials to be allocated cars," Li said.
Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large
expenditure of public funds every year.
A survey on the Web news www.ifeng.com found 59 percent of respondents believed the new rule
will be difficult to obey because it is related to officials" interests.
Local government departments had stopped approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started
to limit the number of such cars under the new rules, Li said. "The future reform of official vehicle use will
introduce market systems", Li said.
Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such
vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago.
Beijing"s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number
of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.

| BEIJING-Pharmacologist Tu Youyou has become the first scientist on the mainland to win America"s respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment. The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on September 23, 2011 in New York. Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation"s website.

An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the World Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said a statement from the foundation. The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945. Lasker Awards are known as "America"s Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future recognition by the Nobel committee.

| LOS ANGELES-Old people who keep walking a relatively long distance may be less likely to suffer from cognitive(认知的) decline, a new study suggests. "By walking regularly, and maintaining a little bit of moderate physical activity, you can reduce your likelihood of developing Alzheimer"s disease and spare brain tissue," Kirk I．Erickson, the study"s lead author, said.Erickson and his colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh began to establish a link between walking and memory in 1989. According to the report on their study published online Wednesday in Neurology, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, researchers tracked the physical activity and cognitive patterns of nearly 300 adults. At the very beginning, all participants, on average 78 years old and about two－thirds being women, were in good cognitive health. The researchers charted how many blocks each person walked in one week. Nine years later, the participants were given a MRI scan to measure their brain size. All of them were deemed to be "cognitively normal." But after four more years, test showed a little more than one third of the participants had developed a mild cognitive impairment or dementia. By correlating cognitive health, brain scans and walking patterns, the research team found that being more physically active appeared to lower the risk of developing cognitive impairment. As to how much walking would help prevent cognitive decline, the researchers suggested that walking about six miles, or 9.6 km, per week appears to protect the brain against shrinking in old age. The researchers said the relationship between walking and gray matter volume appears to apply only to people who regularly walk relatively long distances. The more someone walks, the more gray matter tissue the person will have a decade or more down the road in regions of the brain, namely the hippocampus, the inferior frontal gyrus and the supplementary motor area, that are central to cognition. And among the more physically active participants who had retained more gray matter a decade out, the chances of developing cognitive impairment were cut in half, the study said. | |
| 1. When did the old people tested in the research begin to show difference in cognitive decline? | |
| A. When they were 78 years old. B. When they were 87 years old. C. Between the year 1989 and 1998. D. Between the year 1998 and 2002. | |
| 2. What do we know about the gray matter? | |
| A. The quantity of it has a decisive influence on the cognitive ability. B. It"s something in the muscle that develops from physical activity. C. It"s a brain disease that will damage the cognitive ability. D. It"s some brain matter that can cure brain diseases. | |
| 3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "shrinking" in Para.9? | |
| A. worrying. B. weakening. C. widening. D. wandering. | |
| 4. What is TRUE about the research? | |
| A. Men and women differ in the decline of cognition. B. The research subjects were required to walk blocks per week. C. The findings suggest the more walking, the better health. D. There were about 200 women involved in the research. | |
