Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a  1  tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (the state of legally being an adult) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to   2 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not  3  him in any way.
One  4 , Paul and Marc reached their majority. They  5  their land and money and decided to search nearby villages for ideas on building their homes. In each village, they found the nicest  6  and talked to the owners. Each owner gladly offered  7 
After Marc saw several homes, he  8 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, 9  , continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to  10 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village.
Marc began building his home. He had several false starts,  11  his home gradually rose from his land. By fall, Marc had finished his home. It wasn't perfect, but it was strong and he could  12 it later. Paul enjoyed all the beautiful homes and   13  with home owners. The first snow came and Paul, realizing he was running out of time,  14  back to his land. He built the best home he could in the time he had, but it was   15 . The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to  16 . The villagers mourned for him.
Marc  17 the winter. Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better. He became a leader in the village,  18 a family, and lived a happy, content life.
We all build and improve our own mental homes. It’s   19  and fun for us to search for ideas from other mental home owners, but we only improve our own mental home if we actually  20   the best ideas.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,每題2分,滿分40分)

                               Sitting too much is now listed with smoking and junk food as a bad habit that increases your risk of heart disease.

New Australian research shows that half-an-hour in the gym will not make up for the waist-expanding damage caused by spending the rest of the day sitting.

But the good news is that doing chores (家務(wù)雜事) in the house or gently walking around the office while on the phone might be enough to keep you fit.

The study joins the growing body of evidence suggesting too much sitting might undo the benefits of exercise.

The study measured the intensity (強度) of physical activities in 168 subjects over seven days. It found that, regardless of how much exercise they did or their total sitting time, those who took more breaks from sitting had lower risk of thick waists and lower levels of blood lipids (脂質(zhì)).

“Higher levels of blood lipids have been linked to a heightened risk of heart disease,” principal researcher Genevieve Healy of the University of Queensland said. “What the study shows is that there are benefits in just getting up regularly and interrupting your sitting time.”

Researchers behind the Stand Up Australia project have written to the Rudd Government requesting $3.5 million for a two-year study into how long sitting affects health and productivity of workers. The study would also develop and test strategies for reducing sitting time on the job.

The latest study builds on work that is shifting the health promotion focus from purposeful exercise, such as running, to lower intensity activities throughout the day.

The Australian research has been backed up by US studies.

“To hold a body that weighs 77 kilograms upright takes a fair amount of energy from muscles,” said Professor Marc Hamilton from the University of Missouri. “There is a large amount of energy associated with standing every day that cannot be easily replaced by 30 to 60 minutes in the gym.”

56.The study shows that            .

A. exercising for 30 minutes in the gym is good after sitting too long

B. walking is the best physical activity after sitting too long

C. sitting too long in the office causes the waist to expand

D. having breaks from sitting is good for your health

57.What’s the aim of the Stand Up Australia project?

A. To develop and test strategies for reducing working time.

B. To study the reasons for the longer sitting time in the office.

C. To develop and test strategies for reducing sitting time at work.

D. To study the factors influencing productivity of workers.

58.The purpose of the last paragraph is to        .

A. provide a scientific basis for the benefits of standing up

B. compare the effect of standing with exercising in the gym

C. report the new research findings of Professor Marc Hamilton

D. figure out the amount of energy associated with daily standing

59.The health promotion focus used to be on         .

A. purposeful exercise                        B. running

C. lower intensity activities              D. long sitting

60.What’s the best title for the text?

 A. Exercise in the Gym Is Out                  B. Your Office Chair Is Killing You

Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old-or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.

Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life.People work near their homes in the clean,

mountain air instead of travelling long distances to work by bus, car or train.They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields.They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West.For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors.There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.

Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success.Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully.If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you.Secondly, live in the right place.Thirdly, choose the right

kind of job.Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young.Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer.If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.

An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life."I was young then," he said, as he described his 87th year.His secret was: "Think young and stay young." An old woman from Missouri, USA, gave this advice, "Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day." An English lady just said, "Take a cold bath every morning." The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr.Jim Chapman, aged 103."Just keep breathing," he told reporters.

67.Who is most likely to live a long life?

       A.A doctor.               B.A bus-driver.

       C.A dentist.               D.An orchestral conductor.

68.We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid ____.

       A.working hard              B.drinking

       C.eating too much             D.taking cold baths

69.The passage indicates that we can change our _____to live a long life.

       A.jobs                     B.places of living

       C.ways of living               D.ways of thinking

70.What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

       A.Whose advice is the best.

       B.Who is the most long-lived person in the world.

       C.Lifestyles of long-lived people.

       D.How long-lived people think of' their life.
