time,given my family history of heart disease.So last summer,I travelled toBolivia.The natives,called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world.I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasnt easy.They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks.We finally found one of the villages at sunset.That night,we set up our tents in the middle of the village.Thatched huts surrounded us,with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first,I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat.However,I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70%of their diet.The food was not processed,lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there,I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids.I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours.Men spent lots of time tracking animals.Fanning and gathering,mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested.As soon as the sun went down,people returned to their huts and went to sleep.And with the call of the cock in the morning,another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS.Various factors,like animal attacks and infections,bring down the lifespan.But up until the day they die,they are often very healthy.While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day,the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesnt necessarily buy health.4.Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?A.He dreams of becoming a doctor.B.He wants to teach others about the topic.C.His family members encourage him to do so.D.He was born with a high risk of heart disease.5.Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?A.Housing,food and cooperation.B.Diet,activity and rest.C.Physical work,social life and lifespan.D.Group

showed on television to support her idea that parents should“dress appropriately in daywear”when they drop off and pick up their kids from school.Kate Chisholm,head teacher atSkerneParkAcademyin Darlington,theU.K.,sent a letter home asking parents to set a better example for their children.“I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to drop off and pick up their kids from school while still wearing their pajamas(睡衣),”Chisholm wrote.“Could I please ask that when you are sending your children,you take the time to dress appropriately in daywear that is suitable for the weather conditions?”Kate Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer.She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision,saying she had started noticing the pajama trend had been picked up by“30 or 40”parents at school.Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be,Chisholm admits that she cant demand that parents dress up-such as Karen Routh,49,who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-ycar-old daughter Holly,because she was running late and didnt feel well.“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point,”Chisholm said.“I cant force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some schools and States in theU.S.In 2015,aFloridaschool board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in sleepwear.8.The headmaster asks

Karen to dress properly.B.Parents spent less time on their clothes.C.She wanted to explain her decision about the parents dress.D.She wanted to tell us more and more parents wear pajamas to school.11.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A.strict laws should be passed to stop pajamas B.aFloridaschool will force parents to wear jeans C.people wearing pajamas in public will be punished D.more and more people are concerned about dressing properly in public D The United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO)included on December 17,2020 Chinas Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity.The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston,capital ofJamaica.“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central Chinas Henan province,Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing,but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture,such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says,who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions,attracting more than 100 million people to practice,the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu.They think of it as a slow exercise,which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents.Instead,many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress,which was placed on the UNESCOs List in 2019.In order to promote Tai Chi,joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades.Xian Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi.Wang Yunbing,a professor in the universitys sports center,stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization.Since 2014,the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation.It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe.In January 2020,Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.12.What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?A.It originated from fast Kung Fu action.B.It was born around the 1750s in a village.C.It is related to other cultural fields ofChina.D.It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.13.Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi?A.They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit.B.The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.C.They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people.D.Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi.14.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A.To promote contemporary Chinese civilization.B.To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi.C.To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters.D.To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases.15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCOs List.B.Tai

generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others._16_ Let me start with the idea of giving generously._17_For example,my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money.We usually accept their requests,but we rarely receive a“thank you”.Most people would say that my husband and I are being used,and I suppose we are.But when we give,we shouldnt be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise._18_ The good news is that when we lead our lives being nice toothers,our lives run more smoothly.If youre generous,yes,some people will use you.But if you practice being generous,most of your relationships will improve._19_I truly believe that you cannot say thank you enough when you receive.So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude.Parents can feel unappreciated by their children,and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students.Do you think it unnecessary to thank them when receiving just because a task is part of someones job description?Thats wrong!Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves likenothing else.Its good for us to say thank you because we regularly need to remind ourselves of how lucky we are._20_ If you are looking for a way to improve your life,I can give you one：Give generously and receive gratefully.A.Thus,saying thank you”can bring us good luck.B.Rather,we should be giving because its a good thing.C.And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days.D.And at the same time,we should remember to receive gratefully.E.In return,we are to help others by giving them our time or money,F.I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used.G.Yet,why do we have such difficulty achieving these things in our relationships?第二部分
