men"s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women"s longevity may be linked
to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,"
said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third
of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process."
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old
woman"s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one"s.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They
studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons
to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the
male heart," said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed
that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

(探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed
their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they
asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don"t even use your inner space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon.
People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon
people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such
as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel"-a tunnel (隧道)
connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan"s Taisei Corporation is designed a network of underground
systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using
underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the
whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to
use the earth"s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G.
Wells" "moon people" would agree. Would you?
B. understand their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology
B. Using the earth"s inner space.
C. meeting the "moon people" again.
D. Traveling to outer space.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
B. Space travel with H.G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up
testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in
the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. As
we are used to passive learning, it"s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with
friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even
when it is nothing but hearsay and rumor (谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn"t show
it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it
to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message
word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original
message has changed.
That"s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes
the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative understanding
to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear
it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless
it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the
explanation he placed upon those facts.
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.
B: Well, so far progress has been rather slow. I haven"t learned the keyboard yet, and I have problems
remembering all the orders of editing. I get really impatient because I want to master the means to operate
the computer as soon as possible.
A: Just remember that Rome wasn"t built in a day. Word processing (文字处理) can"t be such an easy matter.
B: You"re right. Our teacher keeps telling us that it takes time to learn all the techniques (技巧) of word
processing and that we can"t master everything in one day.
A: That" s entirely true. But you"ll catch on. Just be patient and practise whenever you can.

apology, "Sorry, this picture is plain and boring. No one would like it."
At home in New Jersey, US, Coreen Burke,16, clicked on the same image on the internet. She saw a
village with its rooftops and walls painted in reds and yellows, a distant chimney (烟囱) giving off smoke.
"Isn"t this amazingly different from my country?" She thought to herself.
Burke, a teenager with a skill for computers, saw beauty in that photo. She posted it to her blog,
Outside My Window, which features a daily snapshot (快照) of someone"s window view around the
world.
The concept is simple: We can all relate to the act of staring through a piece of glass, onto the scene
on the other side. "Maybe if we understood the way people from all over the world live," she explained,
"we would all get along better than we have been lately."
With a click of a mouse, you can see Frederic"s window in the south of France, looking out on
sailboats anchored (抛锚) in a peaceful harbor. Or Virginia"s view in Canada, a winter scene with trees
laced in white.
Like most high school students, Burke has traveled the world. But she says someday she hopes to
collect stamps in her passport, starting with Greece and India. Her recent break was devoted to launching
the site with a blogger account and recruiting (招募) contributors from deviant ART, an online art
community. She posted the first window view from Switzerland, a sunset photographed by an 18-year-old.
Then others came flowing in by email, up to seven a day, from as far as Kazakhstan and Indonesia.
Contributors are marked on maps pinned on her bedroom wall: a blue dot indicates their country and
a pink dot shows their city, if they provide it. The most responses have come from Europe-Estonia,
Poland, Italy, Germany and Sweden, to name a few. She is crossing her fingers, thinking that she"ll receive
a photo from Africa or Antarctica, which are unrepresented so far.
While she"s become a cyber crusader (网络革新者) for appreciating the beauty outside our own
windows, get this: She has no windows in her bedroom. She has a nice skylight (天窗), though.
B. Charming
C. Strange
D. Plain
B. pictures of rural New Jersey
C. photos of window views taken by people all over the world
D. beautiful scenes of famous places of interest
B. has traveled around the world and taken many pictures
C. is a member of an online art community
D. has made a lot of money by selling beautiful pictures
B. Burke is a junior middle school student.
C. Burke has photos from many countries in the world, including Kazakhstan.
D. Burke wants a photo of window view from Africa or Antarctica.
B. Beautiful Pictures
C. Pictures on the Internet
D. Windows in Bedrooms
woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by
instinct, we"re using resources within the unconscious (无意识的) mind. When the resources of two persons"
unconscious minds link together into the same frequency (频率), we call it telepathy.
We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone,
you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better
at sending.
You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact (联系)
you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than
would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who is contacting you. Don"t guess,
but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, that doesn"t mean that you have
no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find
that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other"s unconscious mind.
Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link
up to the other"s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand
the other"s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate.
A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child"s eagerly wanting his or her
mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother"s deep
desire to protect her child from harm.
B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.
C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.
D. It occurs when one doesn"t know a stranger.
B. Telepathy: Mind-to-Mind Contact
C. Telepathy: People"s Dream
D. Dream of Telepathy
B. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs.
C. Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another.
D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend"s call as one wishes.
B. People"s communication over the telephone.
C. A mother"s sense of her child is in danger.
D. A couple"s long separation.
