healthy diet,get more exercise,quit smoking,and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol.Plenty ofresearch backs up these four pieces of advice:Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areaslowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.But lately,researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list,not just four.Theyre discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well.When researchers include enoughsleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change,they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heartdisease even more:Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet,exercise,smoking,and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.When that news started coming out,doctors began adding sleep onto their list of recommended health behaviorchanges.But as an expert in heart disease,I dont think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list I think it should be at thetop.I believe that getting enough sleep-at least seven to eight hours per night for most people-is the most importanthealth behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.Sure,rd prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes,but if I could only choose one,rd pick sleepbecause when you are well-rested,you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink,andyou have more energy to exercise and kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating.But when youre exhausted,everything in life is more difficult.1 What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?A.They should be reconsidered.B.They are the best ways found so far.C.They are not as

thought it made sense.D.They totally changed their mind.4、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.B.Why different factors need to work together.C.What prevents people from living healthily.D.Why the author makes sleep his No.1 suggestion.24.（8 分）This time last year I entered two long-distance mass-participation swimming events,including the JubileeRiver 10 km swim.At the last minute,just before both swims,I decided to pull out.The reality is,I live in fear of cominglast.Last year,before the two events,I realized that I couldnt deal with coming last.I had looked at the swim times ofthose who had completed the previous year and calculated that,at my current swim pace,I would probably have comelast.I just couldnt face it.But when next year came around,I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months,I trained hard,but I didnt get any faster.Then it was June 5,the day of the Jubilee River 10 km.The event started at 9:30 am,and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start.As I swam along,the river was quietand clean and everything was peaceful.The sun shone,Meadows（草 地）rolled by and every now and then someonewould wave at the scene unfolding in the waterAs the day wore on,somehow I didnt mind that,predictably,almost everyone was ahead.There were at least someswimmers still near me,and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces.As I concentratedon doing my own thing,watching the sky,the bank,the other swimming caps passing or not passing,I realized I wasenjoying myself.In the end,four hours and 4 minutes after Pd started,I staggered（摇 摇 晃 晃 地 走）out of the water and was greetedwith a smile and a well done“from the race organizer.I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticedthat there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish,behind me,out of a field of around 300 swimmers.But it didnt matter.I was just relieved,proud and happy t。finish.As I drove away,my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it,my fears of coming last gently receding（渐 渐 远 去）.1、The author intended to quit
