11、m handshake could be a sign of a longer life expectancy (预期寿命), according to British researchers. Scientists at the Medical Research Council found that elderly people who could still give a firm handshake and walk at a quick pace were likely to outlive their slower peers.They found simple measures o

12、f physical capability like shaking hands, walking, getting up from a chair and balancing on one leg were related to the life expectancy, even after accounting for age, sex and body size. The study is the first to provide a comprehensive (综合的) view of the existing data from 33 studies. “These measure

13、s have been used in population-based research for quite a long time,” said Rachel Cooper of the Medical Research Councils Unit for Lifelong Health and Aging. “They may be useful indicators for subsequent health.”Cooper, whose study appears in the British Medical Journal, said more studies are needed

14、 to clarify whether the measures would be helpful to doctors as a screening tool. “I wouldnt suggest that we roll them out into clinical practice tomorrow, but it is possible that they could be used in the future,” she told the media.The researchers examined 33 studies involving tens of thousands of

15、 people, most of whom were aged over 60 but living in the community rather than in hospital or care homes. The researchers found that those with the strongest hand grasps tended to live longer than those with weak grips. The death rate over the period of the studies for people with weak handshakes w

16、as 67 percent higher than for people with a firm grip.The slowest walkers were nearly three times more likely to die during the study period than swifter walkers. The people who were slowest to get up from a chair had about double the death rate compared to the quick risers.“Those people in the gene

20、robably find this passage?A. Sports.B. Health.C. Economics.D. Culture. If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that ones memory

21、works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend complains that his

22、arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can imp

23、rove our memory by the same means practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who cant read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to

24、 remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.

27、le who practice remembering regularly have a better memory8The passage mainly tells us _.A. how to get our arms and legs stronger B. how to improve our memoryC. how to read and write D. how to remember dates and prices9Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets

28、for the circus. One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. Their clothes were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands.The ticket lad

29、y asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly said, “Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady told him the price. The wifes head dropped, and the mans lip began to quiver (抖动). The father asked, “How much did y

30、ou say?”The ticket lady told him the price again.The man didnt have enough money.Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground (We were not wealthy either). My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder

31、and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”The man knew what was going on. He wasnt begging for money but certainly thanked the help in a difficult, embarrassing situation.
