26、A lifetime of active exercise will let you keep the body of a 20-year-old well into your 70s, scientists have found.

The physical decline (衰退) thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of not exercising enough, according to the research, which found that regular cyclists kept the muscles, lungs, and even the immune system (免疫系统) of people years younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active, researchers insist.

Janet Lord, a leading researcher, said, “Our findings prove the false belief that ageing automatically(自动地) makes us weaker. We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do regular exercise throughout their lives can solve the problem that we are living longer but not healthier.”

She looked at 125 cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25 years and compared them with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a series of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger in their immune systems and making T cells.

Now Professor Lord aims to discover how much exercise people need to do to stay young. “You needn’t work out a lot. It may be intensity (强度) that helps—like going up and down the stairs ten times a day.”

While there is no magic method of staying mentally and physically fit in later life, the benefits of keeping active can never be ignored, whatever your age or state of health.

【1】According to the research, what is the reason for physical decline?

A．The failure of lungs.

B．The lack of regular exercise.

C．The poor state of health.

D．The increase of physical activity.

【2】Which of the following statements would Professor Lord probably agree with?

A．The intensity of exercise matters in slowing down ageing.

B．People need a large amount of exercise to stay young.

C．Ageing automatically makes people increasingly weaker.

D．What people need to stay fit in later life is a magic method.

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To discuss the benefits of regular cycling.

B．To explain the effects of the immune system.

C．To introduce the ways to stay healthy.

D．To stress the importance of being physically active.

27、Canals in Europe

Gascony, France

Much of the canal is lined with trees, making it perfect for bicycle rides along the two banks. The Saint Louis boat is a great choice for this route. It’s specially driven by a woman. Plus, Captain Wendy used to be a designer. Her eye for design is on the boat, from the hand-painted furniture to the little Flower Festival she prepares every morning.

Canal du Midi, France

The Canal du Midi, the most famous of the French canals, was built in the 17th century. It took 12,000 workers 14 years to dig the 150-mile canal. Today, it’s one of the oldest working canals in the world. It offers a truly historical experience, with visits to the Roman ruins and weekly market at Narbonne.

Dutch Waterways, Holland

For those who prefer a quiet place and want to travel on waterways more frequently by tourist boats, the Netherlands is the perfect choice. The Dutch Waterways are often lined with shops and homes, and you will get the chance to see plenty of people going about their lives as you float by. The best time to visit it is spring.

The Caledonian Canal, Britain

It’s perfect for people who would prefer to sit on the boat drinking and watching the loud water go by. Speaking of lakes, the famous Loch Ness is on this route. You’ll also get to look at castles like Cawdor Castle and Eilean Donan, the latter of which appeared in the James film The World Is Not enough.

28、Americans love their pets. They consider them part of the family. Sometimes people spend hundreds of dollars buying animals from pet stores. Many of these dogs and cats are fine, but some are not healthy.

The best way to find a healthy pet is to visit the Humane Society in your area. There are millions of wonderful animals looking for homes, and most have been checked over by vets. The people at the Humane Society will ask some questions to make sure their animal is going to a home that is safe, healthy and loving. They may ask if you have children or other animals, and how those animals might relate to a new friend. They may also ask if you will keep the animal inside or outside.

When adopting, don’t forget that in future there will be vet bills. Kittens and puppies need their shots and check-ups, just like children. Of course, as your pet ages, it may have medical problems.

As far as visiting the vet, your pet probably won’t enjoy the trip, so make it as stress-free as possible. Pick a vet who is gentle and caring. Ask your friends for suggestions. Ask your vet how much money each procedure will cost so you won't get an unwelcome surprise when you see the bill. And decide how far you are willing to go to save your pet if it gets really sick. When you get home from the vet’s, be sure to give your pet a little treat to show it how well it behaved and how proud you ae of it.

Having a pet is one of life's greatest pleasures. The way to spend the most quality time with them is to make sure they are healthy and happy at the start. Enjoy!

29、I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs (幼兽) that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.

I’ve got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn’t worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.

As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they’d get up to mischief. We’d come down in the morning to find they’d turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.

Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “riser milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.

When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren’t there.

I’m not sad about it. I’m hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.

B．Lose their way.

C．Sleep soundly.

D．Miss their mom.

【3】What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?

A．Boring.

B．Tiring.

C．Illegal.

D．Risky.

【4】Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?

A．They frightened the children.

B．They became difficult to contain.

C．They annoyed the neighbours.

D．They started fighting each other.
