   Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

    The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

    "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20--25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,”said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

    "Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70，one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,”said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process."

    What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A

healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.

   "This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,”said Goldspink.

    They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80，focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.

    The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.

    The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

The underlined word“l(fā)ongevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ______.

    A. health          B. long life        C. ageing           D. effect

The text mainly talks about ______.

    A. men's heart cells                   B. women's ageing process、

    C. the gender difference               D. hearts and long life

According to the text, the UK scientists have known that

    A. women have more cells than men when they are born

    B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat

    C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age

    D. women never lose their pumping power with age

If you want to live longer, you should

    A. enable your heart to beat much faster      

B. find out the reason for ageing

    C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy 

D. prevent your cells from being lost

We can know from the passage that

    A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

    B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

    C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

    D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

I’ve   50  to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new   51 , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start   52  the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

Would you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.

The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: "If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course." And: "A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class."

Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student's work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.

Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in children's activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.

Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.

And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the family's investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.

A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:

What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?

The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A．How students can get a good grade in the course.

B．Whether students are allowed to answer calls in class.

C．Whether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.

D．Why students put a lot of efforts in their studies.

2.According to the research, most of the students _______.

A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.

B. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a student’s work.

C. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.

D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.

3. Which of the following opinions do social critics agree to about children’s activities?

A．Those who are active in the activities can get an award.

B．Only by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.

C．An award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.

D．Whoever takes part in the activities can get an award.

4.From the sixth paragraph we can learn that _____.

A．it costs much more to build a college than to buy a house.

B．the costs of studying at college are much more than staying at home.

C．the costs of sending a child to college are much more than buying a house.

D．it is difficult for parents to send a child to college.

5.What does the former assistant want to tell students with the example of the baseball player?

A．Effort can lead to good results.             B．Effort is very necessary.

C．Effort and results are quite different.        D．No good results, effort is unnecessary.

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer?

This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes — clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result are electronic garments.

If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable!! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say.

The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These ‘lap- tap’ gadgets(器具) are all set to take over laptop computers!

Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(風(fēng)帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.

Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?

1.. The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that ______.

A．they feel smooth and soft

B．they use electricity as power

C．they can be washed in water

D．they are made from flexible materials

2.. How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?

A．Body heat will be used as power.

B．The wearer will not get shocked.

C．A tiny nine-volt battery will work.

D．They will get charged automatically.

3. What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The laptop computer.

B．The electronic ski jacket.

C．The shirt-cum-mobile phone.

D．The world’s first cloth keyboard.

4.. If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?

A．The cloth keyboard.

B．The electronic ski jacket.

C．The necktie to be used as a mouse.

D．The denim jacket with earphones.

5.. The main purpose of the text is ______.

A．to advertise for an English company
