18、end, and they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us.

19、 to own credit cards. Most have to use a parents card. They want a service that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate (刺激)

20、online sales.- 7 - / 25In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and 20bn annually in the UK.

21、 Internet access has bought something online mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children.

22、more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK.

26、 is no denying that some people live to be older - 9 - / 25than others. Followed are the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer li

27、ves? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质

29、e it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new

But the new paper suggests that if you want lon

31、g life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28, 000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more

32、 likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt

33、 just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.28.The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is .A. to see whether peoples personality affects their life span B. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their - 11 - / 25healthC. to investigate

35、rdship. D. They generally appear more resourceful.30. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B. Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.C. Advantageous personality characteristics act

36、ually vary with times.D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Anger and depression cut ones life span short. B. Health is in large part related to ones lifestyle.C. Personality plays a decisive role in longevity. D. - 12 - / 25Longevity
