Soares, who has six children and 40 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, is believed to be the world's second oldest person to graduate from college. Born in Richmond, Calif. in 1915, Soares said she had wanted to attend college right after she graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1932, but that was during the Great Depression."Unless you had some help, it would have been impossible to go to college."

No one in her family has lived as long as she has -but she believes it has something to do with eating lots of fresh vegetables She hopes others realize that it's never too late to get a college education.

An old person can make a difference C Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting - a main part of modern-day life - is risky to your health even if you exercise regularly. Based on these findings, doctors advise all adults to sit less and move more. But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long? Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want: What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting? Now a study by Columbia University exercise physiologists has an answer. Unlike other studies that test one or two activity options, the study tested five different exercise "snacks". or short bursts of activity after a period of time's sitting: one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes. five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and no walking The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes. This was the only amount that greatly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, this walking routine had an impressive effect on how the participants responded to large meals, reducing blood sugar spikes (峰值) by 58% compared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes for one minute also provided modest benefits for blood sugar levels throughout the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either for one minute or five minutes. provided no benefit What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine. While that may sound impractical, the findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the work day can greatly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic (慢性的) illnesses 28. What does the study by Columbia University focus on? A. What adults should do to keep exercising regularly. B. When and where we need to sit less and move more C. Why longtime sitting every day is risky to our health D. How often and how long we need to walk from our chairs 29. What does the underlined word "counteract" in paragraph 2 probably mean? B. Strengthen. C.Add. A.Reduce. D.Benefit. 30. Which walking pattern is the MOsT useful for health according to the text? A. One minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting B. Five minutes of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting C. One minute of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting D. Five minutes of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting 31. What does the last paragraph show? A. The risks of heart disease and other illnesses. B. The daily exercise routine suitable for everyone. C. The suggestions on the health of the office staff D. The ways of moving regularly at work every day. 4 D In what they claim is a world first, researchers in Japan have developed chopsticks that artificially create the taste of salt, as part of efforts to reduce sodium levels in some of the country's most popular dishes. The chopsticks work using electrical stimulation and a mini-computer worn on the eater's wristband. The device transmits sodium ions from food, through the chopsticks, to the mouth where they create a sense of saltiness. says Homei Miyashita, a professor at Meiji University in Tokyo, whose laboratory collaborated with the food and drink manufacturer Kirin to develop the device. The team plan to improve the first design and hope to make the chopsticks available to consumers next year. The chopsticks could find a receptive audience in Japan, where the traditional diet tends to be high in salt due to the use of components such as miso and soy sauce. The average Japanese adult consumes about 10 grams of salt a day, double the amount recommended by the World Health Organization. The health ministry has proposed reducing daily salt intake to a maximum of 7.5 grams for men and 6.5 grams for women The chopsticks use "very weak electricity - not enough to affect the human body - to adjust the function of ions such as sodium chloride and sodium glutamate to change the perception of taste by making food seem to taste stronger or weaker". Kirin said in a statement Miyashita and Kirin said clinical tests on people who follow a low-sodium diet had confirmed that the device enhances the salty taste of low-sodium food by about 1.5 times. High salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure, the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. "To prevent these diseases, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take," said Kirin researcher Ai Sato."If we try to avoid taking less salt in a conventional way, we would need to suffer the pain of cutting our favourite food from our diet, or suffer eating food with very little taste." Miyashita's lab has also invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavours of various foods 32. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. How the chopsticks work. B. What the team plans to do C. What the device is designed for D. How a sense of saltiness is created 33. What does the underlined word "collaborated" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? C. Cooperated A. Competed. B. Employed. D. Fought. 34. What is a direct result of the chopsticks? A. Food can have stronger or weaker flavours B. Low-sodium food tastes saltier than it actually is. C. The health ministry has suggested reducing salt intake D. Taking less salt means eating less food with very little taste 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Japan conducts clinical tests on low-sodium diets B. Japanese high-tech salty chopsticks gain popularity C. Japan invents electronic chopsticks making food taste salty D. Japanese researchers reduce sodium levels in popular dishes 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep Struggle One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you're not alone.
