D
If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help． Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity． People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk．"Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a 'protective effect' from heart disease," said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens．He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen．
Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years．One village was 1,000 metres above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas．Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up．"The contrast was more evident among men than among women," Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health．Heart disease is one of the world's top killers．Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, being overweight or obese and a family history of the illness increase the odds of developing the disease．
68．The first sentence in the passage is used to __________．
A．tell readers what the passage focuses on      
B．give a very good guessing
C．warn people of the risk of heart disease      
D．name a new unknown illness
69．According to the passage, a person _________ may have less possibility of having heart attack.
A．with more money                        B．with a better living habit
C．from higher altitude                     D．in a happier mood
70．How long does the research of the Greeks last?
A．At most 10 years．                          B．About 15 years．
C．More than 20 years．                      D．Not mentioned．
71．Apart from altitude, how many factors raise the chance of developing heart disease?
A．three                B．Four                  C．Five                 D．Six

W Taipei

The W Hotel is among the city’s big-name luxury(奢華) hotels. Futuristic and fancy, the W Taipei’s setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from, with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style.

10 Zhongxiao E. Road, Sect. 5, Xin Yi Area Taipei City Hall MRT; +886 2 7703 8888; from NT$8,900 (US$299); www.wtaipei.com

Grand Hotel

If sleeping in landmarks is your thing, the Taipei Grand Hotel is a must. The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history, but rooms are aging, so don’t expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf, year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.

No. 1, Lane 1, Zhongshan N. Road, Section 4 shuttle from Yuan Shan MRT; +886 2 2886 8888; from NT$4,800 (US$165); www.grand-hotel.org

Dandy Hotel

From free drinks and snacks in the lobby(大堂) to seasonally themed decorations, this hotel takes care of the small touches. But what places the Dandy Hotel above others in the same price category（范圍）are views over Da-An Park; they’re reminders of those of New York’s Central Park. Rooms with views are worth the extra money paid, but book early -- there are only two on each floor.

No. 33, Xin Yi Road, Sect. 3, Dongmen MRT; +886 2 2707 6899; from NT$2,340 (US$80); www.dandyhotel.com.tw

Homey Hostel

Taiwanese brother and sister Josh and Kelly make guests feel right at home at this bargain Hostel. According to them, their motive in starting the hostel was to make friends, which is why they can often be found in the public area chatting with guests. There's a small kitchen, public computer, free coffee and tea, and luggage storage.

1/F, No. 7, Lane 180, Tonghua Street,) Liuzhangli MRT; +886 91900 2116; dorms from NT$500 (US$17);  www.homeyhostel.com

1. May is fan of Lady Gaga, and she may probably stay in ________when in Taipei. 

A. W Taipei        B. Grand Hotel         C. Dandy Hotel  D. Homey Hostel

     MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DINEY WORLD
     Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic
Kingdom now includes the high-techs movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands
(擴大), so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I've
developed a few money-saving plans. 
     ■ Buy the five-day All-in One Hopper Pass (入場券). Even if you're visiting for fewer days, it's a deal
(the pass costs $ 229 for visitors ages 10 and up, $ 183for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under
age three). Without the pass, you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water-parks. A single
trip to Blizzard Beach, for example, would cost a family of four $ 100.
     ■ Dine out at lunch. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants, especially those in Epcot's World
Showcase, are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations (預(yù)定) before you
leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY. 
     ■ Become a Gold Card Member, For $ 65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-
DISNEY), Card holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character
breakfaster, theme park (主題公園) ticket and goods from Disney stores, 
     ■ Don't pay extra to see a character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of
four about $ 140.and even a character breakfast, where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes, can set
you back $ 50. If your budget (預(yù)算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free
in-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no
additional cost while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets, 
     ■ Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs (紀(jì)念品). By then, the kids will really know what they
want, and they won't waste money on expensive things.
1. The underlined phrase "set you back: in the passage probably means _____.
A. offer you
B. save you
C. return you
D. cost you
2. You should pay more money _____.
A. if you have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you're visiting for four days
B. if you do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance
C. if you have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot's World Showcase
D. if you are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder
3. The economical (經(jīng)濟的) way of meeting the Disney cartoon characters is _____.

MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD

    Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands, so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I’ve been to the park more than 25 times with my kids, and I’ve developed a few money-saving plans.

    ● Buy the five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass (入場券). Even if you’re visiting for fewer days, it’s a deal (the pass costs $ 229 for visitors ages 10 and up, $ 183 for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under age three). Without the pass, you’ll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks. A single trip to Blizzard Beach, for example, would cost a family of four $ 100.

● Dine out at lunch. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants, especially those in Epcot’s World Showcase, are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It’s wise to make reservations before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY.

● Become a Gold Card Member. For $65, you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY). Card-holders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character breakfasts, theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores.

● Don’t pay extra to see a character. Character-theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of four about $ 140, and even a character breakfast, where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes, can set you back $ 50. If your budget is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost, while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets.

● Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs. By then, the kids will really know what they want, and you won’t waste money on expensive things.

       A. if you have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days
