7,Get moving for a longer life free of diabetes
NEW YORK (Reuters Health Mon Jan 2, 2006 8:48 PM GMT)-The results of a new study may motivate couch potatoes to get moving in the New Year. According to the study, people who are physically active live longer and spend more years free of diabetes than people who are inactive.
Using data from the Framingham Heart Study, which has followed some 5,200 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts, over the past
46 years, researchers calculated the differences in life expectancy in subjects with and in those without diabetes associated with different levels of physical activity. They found that at age 50 life expectancy free of diabetes is 2.3 years longer for moderately active individuals and at least 4 years longer for highly active individuals.
“The effect of physical activity on life expectancy without diabetes reflects both the lower incidence of diabetes and the lower mortality of nondiabetic individuals associated with increasing physical activity,” Dr. Wilma J. Nusselder from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and colleagues report in Diabetes Care.
The study also shows that life expectancy with diabetes is roughly 0.5 years less for moderately active people and 0.1 years less for highly active people compared with their sedentary counterparts.
This reflects two opposing effects-lower incidence of diabetes in people who are active, reducing the time spent with diabetes-and lower mortality in those with diabetes, increasing the time spent with diabetes.
“Our study suggests that if sedentary people could be stimulated to be at least moderately active, they could extend their lives and increase their life-time spent without diabetes,” the team concludes.

10,Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in
two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said．The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．
“The number of deaths is certain to rise．”said an official in charge of the rescue work．“No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived.” Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board． Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes．falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats． Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people． Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions． Ferries are a common means of transport in
Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．Since 1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．

11,Long before the white man came to America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States. After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was
to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible -- there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.
In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?
The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It was indeed a march of death.

A. on the American continent. B. in the southeastern part of the US.
C. beyond the Mississippi River. D. in the western territory. 2. One of the ways that Sequoyah copied from the white man is the way of______
A. writing down the spoken language. B. making word pictures. C. teaching his people reading. D. printing their own newspaper. 3. A law was passed in 1830 to______
A. allow the Cherokees to stay where they were. B. send the army to help the Cherokees. C. force the Cherokees to move westward. D. forbid the Cherokees to read their newspaper. 4. When the Cherokees began to leave their lands,_______ A. they went in carts. B. they went on horseback. C. they marched on foot. D. all of the above.
5. Many Cherokees died on their way to their new home mainly because
A. they were not willing to go there.
B. the government did not provide transportation. C. they did not have enough food and clothes.
D. the journey was long and boring.
12,The two things - snow and mountains - which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of
snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain-often called \"White Death.\"
It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937 -38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest.
This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. . The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.
The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow
shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area’s operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.
1. The snow rangers are employees of _______ A. the Forest Service. B. the Resource Bureau. C. the Tourist Board. D. the Sports Bureau. 2.A snow ranger himself must be ______ A. a college graduate. B. a physicist. C. a geologist. D. a mountaineer. 3. A snow ranger uses very powerful guns A. to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche. B. to signal for help in an emergency. C. to create an avalanche.
D. to communicate with the ski area’ operator. 4. The primary duty of the snow ranger is _______
A. To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules. B. To predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas. C. To check skis and repair them. D. To forecast the weather.
5.The passage implies that a snow ranger A. knows how to use a pistol.
B. must write lengthy reports on his work.
C. may travel many miles when he is on duty.
D. has a long working day. 13,Cars!!! holidays! thousands of prizes ! hurry ! Free with every packet of splash! your personal lucky number!

There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__2__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last
forever. __3__. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __4__. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful
planning before they could begin to build. __5__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome. A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin. B. It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the
pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.
C. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. D. Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used. E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids. F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will
continue to stand for thousands of years yet.
G. It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids. 15,根据下面提供的情景，写一段接续文字。注意：词数不少于50。 Today is March 5th. To learn from Lei Feng, at 3∶30 p.m., my classmates and I went…

15, Today is March 5th. To learn from Lei Feng, at 3∶30 p.m., my classmates and I went in groups separately to visit some old teachers who had retired from our school. We chatted with them for a while, and then began to do some cleaning for them. Everyone worked very hard and we really felt glad we were able to do something for the old teachers. We hoped to have more chances to
take part in such activities.
16, Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a senior student of our school. I’d like to say something about the canteen service in our school. In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What’s more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy.
However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high. Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school?
Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Li Hua
