2、n in the 1870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machines. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.Today cigarettes smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the ad

3、ult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit. Seventy-five percent of the male population and forty-six percent of the these men and eleven percent of the women have stopped smoking. The number

4、of persons who have given up smoking is increasing.Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion (比例) of smokers is the age group 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a persons smoking habits. City people sm

5、oke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand if a well-educated man with a high income smokes as all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.Th

6、e situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers (少年) the pictures is similar.

7、 There are fewer teenager smokers from upper-income, well-educated families and fewer from families living in farm areas.

But this is not true, according to Dr. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at the Un

11、iversity of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins (孪生儿), who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr. Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s a

12、nd 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In ge

13、neral, Dr. Jarviks studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well.It is true older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. Howe

14、ver, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There was usually incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace. In the cases where the older pe

15、rsons mind really seems to become less active, it is not necessarily a sign of becoming less active due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional (压抑的感情) state. 6.

20、wth and development of the body. In time these substances were called vitamins, meaning essential to life. Today there are 13 known vitamins. The human body produces only three of them.Vitamins regulate (调节) the way the body changes food into energy and living tissues (组织). Each vitamins has a defin

25、king are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate (参与). It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music without bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that to music not only with your ears but with your whole body

26、. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically (具体地), some part of their body. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (管弦乐队) even though knows where to direct the orchestra even though he

27、knows there is an able conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment form music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motio

Some psychologists believe that thinking is performed not only by ones brain but also ones _.17. The process of

If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby (不结实的) and systems sluggish (缺少活力的). Then the guilt feelings start: “ I must g

31、o on a diet”, “I must try to lose weight”, “I must get more fresh air and exerciser”, “I must stop smoking”, “I must try to keep fit.” There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress.

32、 But keeping fit is a way to minimise (减少到最低限度)the effects of these evils.The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and tennis in the local park, they are outnumbe

33、red (超过) a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way throughout the crowds to get to the best seats.For those who do not parti

34、cularly enjoy competitive (竞争性的) sports, it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them. There are such activities for one person as cycling, walking and swimming. What often happens, though, is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doin

35、g yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. Of course you can be very thorough about exercise. Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets (小装置) of shiny spring steel, which, acc

36、ording to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a regular programme of exercises. Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes.It all strikes me as utterly boring and also

37、 time-consuming. Somebody suggested recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the “jogging” in the first place. The argument is false even if

38、 the facts are correct, out there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring.Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental an

39、d physical relaxation. Now, this does not mean sleeping in the armchair of going dancing (which is a good form of exercise in itself). It has something to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, worries and so on.21. If you want to keep fit, you should _.A. go in for not only com

40、petitive sports, but also solitary onesB. go in for not only sports, but also enjoy your relaxationC. not put on too much weightD. not spend long hours sitting in your armchair22. The latter part of the last sentence of Para. 2 (“ unless you count the effort get to the best seats.”) suggests that th

41、e author thinks that _.A. fighting your way through crowds is a good exerciseB. best seats are difficult to secureC. being a spectator is not a way to keep fitD. getting through crowds is not an easy job23. Which statement reflects the authors point of view on solitary sports?A. They do not contribu

42、te much to your health.B. They can be done in a slow way.C. They lack a sense of competition.D. They can be done at any time and in any place.24. In Para. 4, the author quotes: “ if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours t

43、hat you wasted doing the jogging in the first place.” He thinks that the statement is _.A. partially correctB. absolutely trueC. untrueD. paradoxical25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to good health in the article?A. Mental and physical relaxation.B. Competitive and solitary sports

44、.C. Pieces of exercise apparatus.D. Mountain climbing of fresh-air breathing.Passage 2Whether you eat to live or live to eat, food should help keep you well. In our modern world of processed and preserved foods, many nutritionists (营养学家) are suggesting that we can stay healthy with a well-balanced d

45、iet of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and not too much red meat, salt, or sugar. In fact, eating natural, unprocessed foods that are made from scratch, instead of artificial and junk (假的) foods, may not only keep you healthy, but save your money, too.To stay healthy, you must also be careful

46、to avoid food poisoning, a common, unpleasant, and often dangerous illness that affects one out of every six Americans each year. Food poisoning is often caused by salmonella bacteria (沙门化菌) in food, especially raw meats and dairy products. Heat usually kills the bacteria, and refrigeration keeps th

47、em from growing. So remember to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Also, be sure to keep your hands and cooking utensils clean so you dont transfer germs to the food while you are preparing it.If you use canned food, always check the cans for leaks or puffiness. A puffed can could mean botulism, a fatal type of food poisoning that you cannot see or smell. Never taste any food that you suspect has spoiled. Instead, return any damaged cans or spoiled food to the grocery store, an
