British researchers have found that children’s IQ predicts their probability of becoming vegetarians (素食者) as young adults.

Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol (膽固醇), reduced risk of overweight and heart disease.

“We know from other studies that brighter children tend to behave in a healthier fashion as adults—they’re less likely to smoke, less likely to be overweight，less likely to have high blood pressure and more likely to take exercise.” lead author Catharine Gale said, “This study provides further evidence that people  with a high IQ tend to have a healthier lifestyle.”

In the study, Gale’s team collected data on nearly 8,200 men and women aged 30, whose IQ had been tested when they were 10 years of age.

“Children who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30.”Gale said. 

The researchers found that 4.5 percent of participants were vegetarians. Of these, 2.5 percent were vegan, and 33.6 percent said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken.

There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken，the researchers added.

One expert said the findings weren’t the whole answer，however.

“We don’t know the beliefs or attitudes of the parents of the children，nor do we know if there was a particular event that led these children to becoming vegetarian in their teens or adulthood.” said Lona Sandon, and assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

B．Did the children eat a primarily vegetarian diet at the age of 10?

C．Were meatless meals regularly served in the participants’ families?

D．Did the vegetarian children really have a high IQ?

A．the low IQ children will be unhealthier when they grow up

Should we try to contact and make friends with other beings in the universe? Certainly not，says British physicist Stephen Hawking．

“If aliens（creatures from other planets）ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans,’’ said the 68-year-old disabled scientist in a new Discovery documentary (紀實性電視節(jié)目) on April 25．

The program pictures an imagined universe where other life forms in huge spaceships hunt for resources after using up all those on their home planets．

“Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads(游牧民)，looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach，”warned Hawking．

On the probability of other life forms existing, he says, “To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly reasonable.”

Hawking’s concerns have frightened some people and been met with disagreement from other researchers．Paul Davies, author of the book Renewing Our Search for Alien Intelligence，thinks Hawking’s reasoning is wrong.

He argues that since Earth is about 4.5 billion years old，if intel1igent life is likely , communities of other beings may have been there for a very long time．

“If resources are the factor, then at least one group of aliens would surely have visited Earth as a destination mil1ions of years ago．

Even if other life forms do come to Earth in the near future, Davies believes comparisons with are wide of the mark(離譜的).

68. What is the article mainly about? 

A. Other life forms coming to our planet．

B. Scientific evidence of other life forms．

C. Earth as the only place where human beings can survive．

D. Hawking’s belief that other life forms may exist in the universe．

69. Which of the following ideas is opposed to Hawking’s view?

A. Other life forms exist in the universe．

B. 0ther life forms may be more intelligent than human beings．

C. We should try to contact other 1ife forms from other planets．

D. Other life forms may exist in more than one part of the universe．

70. Paul Davies didn’t agree with Stephen Hawking ,believing that ________．

A. the universe is running out of resources

B. humans are the best creatures in the universe.

C. it is a good idea to avoid meeting with other life forms   

D. Davies doesn’t think it proper to compare aliens with Columbus
