Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．

Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降膽固醇藥)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的)problems．

However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．

The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．

The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．

Some nations-including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．

Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．

But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：‘Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．’

With the development of people’s living condition, more and more people possess their own cars. Some of us think it is good to own a car. For instance, it’s convenient, fast and comfortable means of transportation. Moreover, it shows that people are becoming richer and the country is much more stronger. It also made relative businesses and industries develop faster.

However, others have different opinions, thinking that cars give up waste gases and pollute the environment around. Too much cars will have some bad effects, such as more accidents and crowdedness. Besides, lack parking lots is another big problem.

On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!

The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.

While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路線).

Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.

Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. kids have to solve given problem

B. only few kids have amazing ideas

C. kids have to solve the problem separately

D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem

2.What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?

A. To improve school education.

B. To share achievements of technologies.

C. To develop children’s creativity.

D. To predict some unexpected situations.

3.What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?

A. Reward children with much more money

B. Call on schools to teach some common skills

C. Provide more schools with some tools for free

D. Invite all schools to participate in the project

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country

B. The first Global Children’s Designation

C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect

D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems

This afternoon I went to see my grandfather by a bus．It was very crowded and I had to stand．Besides me，there was a woman hold a little boy in her arms．In front of her, a young man occupies two seats，pretending to be sleeping．I heard the little boy curious asking his mother, “What’s wrong with the uncle?” I had thought if perhaps the woman would blame the man．Beyond her expectations，the woman answered with a smile，“Be quiet．This uncle must very tired because of hard work．”The young man must have heard the word．His face turned red but offered one seat to the woman at once．
