For weight loss, many people 50 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)diets. However, such diets might have 51 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds that have been 52 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against 53 .
The findings 54 that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. In general, experts 55 that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day though—it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.

As we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles and maintaining a youthful body. But people often don’t realize the voice needs looking after. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals how to keep your voice youthful.
Drink more fluid and avoid spicy food
You need water for the vocal cords(声带) to vibrate(振动) well. The body must be kept hydrated enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate.
Rest the throat and talk regularly
The vocal cords can be scared if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis(喉炎) with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice.
Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important. “As older people get less mobile, they can become socially isolated and speak less.” says Mr. Rubin. “The elderly need to communicate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down. ”
Improve your posture
Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we’d better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone.
Sing in the shower
This is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates(使润滑) the voice box. “Singing is gymnastics for the voice,” says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone.
小题1:Mr. Rubin gives us advice on ________.| A．ways to keep us from aging | | B．ways to talk with other people | | C．ways to keep our voice youthful | | D．prevention of diseases caused by talking too much |
小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE in the opinion of Mr. Rubin?| A．We should stand properly to keep our voice youthful. | | B．Professional singers’ voices tend to age quickly. | | C．The steam can do great harm to the voice. | | D．Taking more onions can keep us healthy. |
小题3:To protect the voice, the old people should .| A．get less mobile | B．communicate with others more | | C．avoid using the voice | D．lie in bed more |
小题4:What can we learn from the text?| A．Most people have realized the importance of protecting voice. | | B．It’s hard to keep the vocal cords strong through exercise. | | C．Singing in the shower is among the best ways to keep our voice youthful. | | D．Shouting now and then benefits our vocal cords. |

Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body. A small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin. It contains the medicine, which it releases at preset times. The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses. A company called Microchips began developing the device about fifteen years ago. Last month, the company released the results of its first successful tests in humans. The tests took place in Denmark with seven women with osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily. The disorder is common among older people especially women. Many patients have to give themselves daily injection（注射）of medicine. One type of treatment requires injections for two years. The patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the injections. As a result, only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment.
The microchip is a few centimeters long. It has small sections and each section holds a single dose（单次剂量）of medicine. The device has to be programmed with the times to release the drug. Doctors will be able to reprogram the device from a computer or even a cell phone.
For osteoporosis, the physician will program the device, and the device has the ability to release a dose at a given time, every single day. For other diseases, where the physician may want to change the dosing schedule, they will have the ability to wirelessly reprogram that dosing schedule.
The seven women in the study were ages of sixty-five to seventy. The researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections. And they say the medicine amounts were more exact than patients often give themselves.
小题1:The best title for the passage should be ______.| A．A New Company Called Microchips | | B．A New Way to Take Medicine Every Day | | C．Good News for Women with Osteoporosis | | D．Taking Medicine, with Microchip under Skin |
小题2:What does the underlined word “released” in paragraph 1 mean?| A．Announced. | B．Planned. | C．Got rid of. | D．Caught hold of. |
小题3:We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ______.| A．older people especially men easily develop steoporosis | | B．bones’ becoming weak and breaking easily causes steoporosis | | C．a quarter of the patients will go through the entire two years of treatment | | D．pain and stress of the injections lead all patients to stop taking medicine |
小题4:What advantages does the microchip have?
a. effective implants
b. less exact medicine amounts
c. purposely—changed dosing schedule
d. only one centimeter long and having small sections
e. improving the lives of millions of people| A．a, b, c | B．c, d, e | C．a, c, e | D．b, c, d |
小题5:In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?| A．Arts. | B．Jobs. | C．Sports. | D．Medicine. |

[1] Scientist proves better busy than doing nothing, research has found. Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negativeemotions, the study found.
[2] However, the bad news is that humans seem born to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christopher Hsee, a behavioural scientist at Chicago University.
[3] In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever choice they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Two-thirds (68 per cent) chose to take a shortcut. Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed put. Prof Hsee concluded __________________ helped keep people happy.
[4] He said the findings, reported in the journal Psychological Science, had policy guidance. "Governments may increase the happiness of idle（闲散的）citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless", he suggested.
[5] At the individual level, he advised: "Get up and do something. Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it." He added, "By the way, thinking deeply or busy with self-reflection counts as keeping busy, too. You do not need to be running around—you just need to be busy, either physically or mentally."

Lack of exercise is considered a risk factor for cancer. There is considerable evidence that inactivity is connected with increased risk for lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.
In the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, more than 32,000 people (25,000 men and 7,000 women) were given a preventive medical examination that included a machine exercise test to measure physical fitness. They were given a physical fitness score, with one being the lowest and five being the highest fitness level. Then these people were followed for an average of 8 years. During this time, 179 men and 44 women died of cancer.
Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with higher levels of physical fitness. Studies from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas suggest that men with high fitness levels are less likely to die of cancer.
The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study also found that fitness level was more important than weight in predicting longevity (长寿). While results showed that fitness and normal weight are the ideal combination, researchers found that men who were fat but performed well in the machine performance had just a slightly increased all-cause death rate, including cancer, compared to the more slim men. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than the slim, but flabby (肌肉松弛的), men.
These statistics called for a warning to the overweight: The first health goal for the overweight should be to become as fit as possible at their current weight.
67. 小题1:The text mainly talks about________.| A．the effect of exercise on reducing chances of cancer | | B．how to lose weight effectively | | C．different ways to keep slim | | D．fat men live longer than slim ones |
68. 小题2:What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?| A．The study on the life of the overweight. | | B．The study on the relationship between taking exercise and cancer. | | C．The study on the ways of losing weight. | | D．The study on the effects of machine exercise. |
69. 小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 4?| A．Fitness levels have more effects than weight on people’s longevity. | | B．A man who is fit and has normal weight is most likely to live longer. | | C．Slim men are more likely to live longer. | | D．Fat people who like exercising are also likely to live longer. |
70. 小题4:The author thinks the most important thing for the overweight is to ______.| A．increase their fitness levels | B．choose to eat vegetables | | C．be on a diet | D．ask for help from doctors |

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.
I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.
But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
小题1:The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________. | A．pizza topped with fruit | B．things left undone | | C．food remaining after a meal | D．meals made of vegetables |
小题2:According to the last paragraph, it is important to__________. | A．be careful about what you eat | B．eat something for breakfast | | C．heat up food before eating it | D．eat calorie-controlled food |
小题3:What can we infer from the text?| A．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. | | B．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. | | C．There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. | | D．Eating vegetables helps save energy. |
小题4:The text is written mainly for those__________.| A．who go to work early | B．who go to bed late | | C．who eat before sleep | D．who want to lose weight |
小题5:What does the author advise the readers to do?| A．Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night. | | B．Better eat less in the night. | | C．Better eat leftovers in the morning. | | D．Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories. |
