There are plenty of creams etc on the market that help you look younger, but today, Dr Oz is going to show how some people are actually living longer.
“We are going to talk about extreme life extension,” he says. “I am talking in details about allowing us to go into our second century of life with the energy that you have when you are a young person.”
Owing to advances in technology and research on how diet affect the aging process, Dr Oz says it might be possible for some people to live to see their 120th birthdays.
There’s one man in Oprah’s audience who Dr Oz says may become the first man in history to live to be 150 years old. Joe Cordell is one of thousands around the world who believe they’ve found the key to an extreme long life --- calorie restriction leads to a longer, healthier life.
At 59 Joe weighs 130 pounds. He may not look like a person who needs to count calories, but as part of his life extension program, he inspects every mouth of food that passes through his system.
Every day for the past seven years, Joe has limited himself to about 1,950 calories.
He believes that by eating less and restricting his caloric intake, he will trigger a genetic switch that slows the aging process.
Joe doesn’t take away himself of food. Instead, the then 52-year-old father filled up on natural fruits, vegetables and lean proteins(瘦蛋白) that were packed with necessary vitamins and nutrients. “Whenever you are thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the most nutritional amount per calorie,” Joe says.
In keeping with this principle, Joe starts every morning with three apples…but he only eats the peels. “Most of the fiber is in the peel, and more importantly, most of the nutrients are in the peel,” he says.
“It is important to eat some nuts with breakfast so that you do take in some fat, some healthy fats,” he says. “I think it helps the absorption of the nutrients, and it is very filling.”
For lunch, Joe usually eats a large salad, loaded with vegetables. At dinnertime, he and his family enjoy lean meat or fish and more vegetables.
When Joe started practicing calorie restriction, he weighed 175 pounds. Since then, he has lost 45 pounds, and he says he hasn’t had a cold in seven years. Though he is in his “golden years”, researchers studying Joe say he has the body of a 20-year-old athlete.
小题1: According to Joe, the appropriate fat intake may help ______?
A.people lose weight |
B.feel always full |
C.the absorption of the nutrients |
D.people to live longer |
A.Joe counts the amount of every meal |
B.Joe has never had a cold |
C.Joe eats three apples every morning |
D.Joe has a large salad with vegetables for dinner |
A.turn on | B.break down | C.take up | D.cut off |
A.living very long even sick |
B.how to make people lead a happy life |
C.living long and having a healthy body |
D.how to arrange our foods every day |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:C
解析
小题1:细节题。倒数第三段I think it helps the absorption of the nutrients。
小题2:细节题。最后一段Since then, he has lost 45 pounds, and he says he hasn’t had a cold in seven years.
小题3:猜测词义题。根据后面的switch可知这里应该是打开的意思。
小题4:推理题。根据文章第二段I am talking in details about allowing us to go into our second century of life with the energy that you have when you are a young person.”可知这里所指的是:长寿和健康。

America’s love of cars and being on the open road has led to the creation of the modern travel or camping trailer (露营旅行车). Some trailers are so well equipped that people can comfortably live in them full time.
Almost all campers (露营车) are considered as recreational vehicles (RV’s). RV’s include motor homes, trailers, house trailers and truck campers. The smaller trailers usually have just enough room for two people to sleep and store a few personal travel items. Some of the larger motor homes include a kitchen, a bathroom, an eating area and even a bedroom.
While tent camping is always an adventure, campers are a fun way to take a long trip, or to spend some more comfortable time in a beautiful setting, like a lakeside campground. So many camper trailers have been designed for people to live in the trailer long term. Some people choose to park their trailers in trailer parks and live in their trailers full time. In America many retired adults choose to spend their time traveling across the country on the open road and bring their trailers with them. Full time use of trailers for these travelers is considered to be a recreational (休闲的) activity.
Camper trailers can also be rented and used for a shorter period of time, such as a camping trip or a road trip. A camper trailer can be a comfortable alternativeto sleeping in a tent if you are camping. If you like traveling at your own pace, a camper trailer is a good choice.

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don"t understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what"s for dinner tomorrow, she may say "I"ll play it by ear", that means she doesn"t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they"re not talking about music.
There"re many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don"t necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It"s not about the color of your hand! You"re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don"t have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
小题1:An idiom is _______.
A.a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say |
B.a phrase or a sentence that doesn"t mean exactly what every word says |
C.so difficult that nobody can understand |
D.something to do with parts of your body |
A.she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time |
B.she doesn"t hear what others are talking about. |
C.she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner |
D.She doesn"t have plans for dinner and will decide later |
A.he needs to hold your hand. |
B.he works well with you |
C.he needs your help |
D.he is a new comer and can"t help with the situation |
A.People use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English. |
B.To understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom. |
C.Idioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember. |
D.You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word. |
1) to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself
2) to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well
3) to stand on one"s own feet c. to do something secretly

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.
In the middle of the wall, there is a big "VICTORY". It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain. Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you "explore" the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can"t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don"t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
小题1:There is ____ special on this wall.
A.something | B.anything | C.nothing | D.everything |
A.Chalk | B.Pencil | C.Pen | D.Brush |
A.At the beginning of the last semester. |
B.At the end of the year. |
C.At the end of the last semester. |
D.At the beginning of the last month. |
A.部分 | B.分离 | C.和好 | D.聚集 |
A.The Pictures of the Wall |
B.The Feelings of the Students |
C.The Patterns of the Classroom |
D.The Hope of the Writer |
