just mean that it"s common for older people to become a little shorter over time. This kind of shrinking
can"t be reversed, although people can slow or stop this process. But why does shrinking happen at all?
Because of gravity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the
spine (脊骨), get compressed (压缩), which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis
occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. Over time, bone is said
to be lost because it"s not being replaced. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if
someone with osteoporosis is injured.
Older people - especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with-are
more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in
bones that are called compression fractures. These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the
person with osteoporosis can become hunched over (驼背).
Did you know that every day you shrink a little, too? You aren"t as tall at the end of the day as you
are at the beginning. That"s because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed
due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don"t worry, though. Once you get a good night"s rest,
your body recovers, and the next morning, you"re standing tall again!
Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse. Want to do something right now to build
strong bones? I believe what I will say will help you.
B. If someone is injured, he will become shorter.
C. Women have smaller and lighter bones than men.
D. We aren"t as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning.

C. We should sleep as long as possible.
D. We should keep away from smoking and drinking alcohol.
B. Why do we shrink?
C. Some tips on how to keep tall.
D. How to live a healthy life.
B. once our bone is broken down, osteoporosis will occur
C. women are more likely to develop osteoporosis
D. if we develop osteoporosis, we are more likely to be shorter
B. Tell us how to become healthier.
C. Tell us how to avoid being shrinking.
D. Tell us what to do to have strong bones.

promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking-and when you should stop talking.
The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person"s facial expressions and matches
them up with 24 known features which convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and
lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative,
yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are under
development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology"s Media Lab.
They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an "extra sense"
that they are bored or losing interest.
The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism (孤独症) who have much difficulty
interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications. It works thanks to a
camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small
computer which can be attached to the user"s body. The camera monitors how long and how often 24
"feature points" appear on the subject"s faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT
team.
This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is
going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.
So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time, a
figure which is expected to improve with further tests.
B. scientists are showing more and more concern to people suffering from autism
C. the glasses will be more and more popular

The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs
and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.
As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the
deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas
students have also been eased.
Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting
from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.
"This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning
to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC),
a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.
However, in the past few years, many of Wang"s student clients (客户) could not start studies in
Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and
deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to
study in Australia, Wang says.
A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies
in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.
"According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put
down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my
parents," Li says.
She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study
plans.
"I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I
return to China," she says.
Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according
to the report by EIC.
B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.
C. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.
D. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.
B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.
C. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.
D. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.
B. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.
C. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students
D. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in Australia
B. 140,000 yuan
C. 410,000 yuan
D. 86,850 yuan
