举一反三
Short people, studies have shown , are more likely to have a stroke , suffer from high blood pressures and heart disease and be bullied in school .
Now, researchers report that short people—at least in the past—were also more likely to die at a younger age than their taller peers.
Their study, published in the Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) and Community Health , found that short bones have something to do with short life for more than 1,000 years. The conclusion was based on 490 sets of adult skeletal(骨架) remains from an archaeological(考古学的) site in northeastern England , YC dating from the 9th century to about 1850 .
About 55% of men and 73% of women died before the age of 45, and 39% of men and 56% of women died before age 30. The risk of death before age 30 declined as bone length increased.
“This study provides evidence from an archaeological sample that long bone length is connected with age at death—those with smaller bones tend to die younger,” according to Dr. D.J. Gunnell of the university of Bristol in the UK and colleagues .
While it is not clear why short stature(身材) might be linked to earlier death , the researchers point out that height is an indicator of childhood nutrition, which may have long-lasting effect on health .
“Mechanism (身体结构) for height-mortality(死亡) associations in the past may differ from those today , for example , short stature may have increased the risk of death in childbirth and this may explain the higher risk of premature(未成熟的) mortality in women,” Gunnell and colleagues write .
“However, short bones, it would appear, have always been a marker of a short life,” the authors conclude.
小题1:The title of the passage should be .| A．Short people and their taller peers | | B．Men and women | | C．Short stature and short life | | D．Long life and short life |
小题2:“An indicator” in Paragraph 6 means .| A．a study | B．a marker | C．a risk | D．an age |
小题3:Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?| A．People with smaller bones were more likely to die younger. | | B．Women were more likely to die at a young age. | | C．Short-stature women bear higher risk of death in giving birth to babies. | | D．Most people were more likely to die at the age of 30 in the past. |
小题4:Short stature may be caused by .| A．less childhood nutrition | B．heart disease | | C．some illnesses | D．high blood pressure |
小题5:The topic in this passage is probably connected with | A．space medicine | B．sports medicine | | C．social medicine | D．industrial medicine |

Salt plays an important role in our daily diet. Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict -how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
The result: Thirteen percent fewer heart attacks. Eight percent fewer strokes. Four percent fewer deaths. Eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. And two hundred forty billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers found it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year．
The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams,or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University. Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodiu(钠), which is how foods may list their salt content．
The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative.The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference.
Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children"s Research Institute shows that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children. Ninety-nine parents of three to six year olds took part. Half had calories between the two groups for foods that the parents would have chosen for themselves. McDonald"s menus clearly showing how many calories were in each food. Parents given the counts chose an average of one hundred two fewer calories when asked what they would order for their children. Yet there was no difference in calories between the two groups for foods that the parents would have chosen for themselves.
Study leader Pooja Tandon says even small calorie reductions on a regular basis can prevent weight gain over time.The study was published in the journal Pediatrics．
小题1:Which of the following benefits does less salt diet in the passage NOT cover?| A．The decrease of strokes | B．The prevention of weight gain | | C．Fewer heart attacks | D．The drop in medical care cost |
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.| A．Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s | | B．the American Heart Association suggests less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone | | C．the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be | | D．all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt |
小题3:The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to_______.| A．inform people of the harm that salt does to health | | B．attract the public attention to the problem | | C．require fast food places to list salt information | | D．put pressure on food companies and restaurants |
小题4:The underlined sentence "Yet there was no difference in calories between the two groups for foods that the parents would have chosen for themselves." implies that _______.| A．Parents pay less attention to the amount of calories in their diet. | | B．Parents set a good example to their children in daily diet. | | C．Parents take less salt than before while taking meals. | | D．Most parents are on a diet for their health. |
小题5:Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? | A．Relationship between Salt and Health | | B．Less Salt Can Mean Being More Healthy | | C．A Survey on People"s Regular Diet | | D．Mayor Michael Bloomberg and His Health Project |

As an English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

小题2:The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “_________”. | A．delays | B．prevents | C．increases | D．reduces |
小题3:Why do doctors hold laughter clinics? | A．Because they want to earn more money. | | B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses. | | C．Because they want to improve their patients’ health. | | D．Because they want their patients to laugh more. |
小题4:According to the author, we should __________ in our life. | A．laugh as much as possible | B．watch more funny films | | C．smile all the time | D．spend time in the laughter clinics |
小题5:What would be the best title for this passage? | A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health. | | B．Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition. | | C．Laughter can reduce the effect of pain. | | D．Laughter is the best medicine. |

By May，after three months，I had lost22pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds．My friends would say “Alice，you look great！”or“How did you lose so much weight？”Those compliments made me feel good and confident．
Soon I dropped to110 pounds．A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting，because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present—— a bag of chocolates，which I later gave to my sister．My mother would come to my room，with tears in her eyes，and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop．My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school，telling me that it would do serious harm to my body．
