     To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly
and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public
Library of Science Medicine Journal.
     After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about
1993-2007, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who
adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.
     "We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this
benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council."The
benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from."
     Study participants (參與者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five
servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
     Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping
people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific
changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours
would surely gain 14 years.
     "We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things," said Doctor Tim Armstrong,
a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization." The 14 years is an average across the
population of what's theoretically (理論上) possible."
     "Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them", Susan
Jebb said,"We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change."
1. Which of the following doesn't belong to the four healthy habits?
A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
B. Doing proper exercise in the morning every day.
C. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.
D. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.
2. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes
B. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study
C. there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habits
D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.
B. People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.
C. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.
D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good.
4. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years
B. Healthy Habits Could Gain You Extra 14 years
C. A New Way of Keeping Healthy
D. Smoking and Drinking Harms Your Health

How To Quit (Give Up) Smoking

　　When thinking about quitting…

　　List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times.

　　Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative (消極的) thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons in addition to your health and obligations (責任) to others. For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting a light, etc. Set a date for quitting—perhaps a special day like your birthday, a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date sacred seriously, and don't let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically, start a modest(適度的)exercise; drink more water, get plenty of rest.

　　Immediately after quitting…

　　The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited (forbidden), e.g. libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc.

　　Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice. Try to avoid wine, coffee, and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking.

　　Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette.

How to beat nerves

　　Do you blank out, freeze up(呆住)or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night?

　　If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety．

　　But, don’t panic．By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it．

　　Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly．This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline(腎上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen．However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance．Some people might feel shaky(weak), hot, or even sick．

　　If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety．Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety．

　　When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank．If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress．Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax．As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first．This will help restore your confidence．

　　Talk to yourself using positive language．Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason．For example：“I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can．”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes．In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities．

　　Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test．After all, good study habits and skills．for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control．

(1)

the last but actually there are more

How to Make the Most of Your Time

　　Time management is important in our daily life．There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do．Here are some tips that might be of some help to you．

　　1．Set up a plan．Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones．Include things you want to accomplish．Focus mostly on the things that are important to you．

　　2．Control your stress．No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool．Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive(事與愿違)when you have a list of things to do．It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress．

　　3．Shut your door．When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done．This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done．

　　4．Focus on one thing at a time．Forget trying to multi-task!You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do．

　　5．Just say“no．”If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say“no．”You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!

　　6．Stop wasting time on the phone．While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time．

　　7．Be realistic．You can only do what you can do．Don't set out to accomplish the impossible．Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself．

　　8．Relax．The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup．You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently．Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed．

　　As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track．Don't delay; get your life in order now．

閱讀理解.
      According to a recent survey on money and relationships,36% of people are keeping a
bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
marriages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,
regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
      The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
in other words,an"escape fund"．
      Margaret's story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long－term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband.She has been doing this throughout their six－year marriage and has built a nest egg
worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
he'd be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn't sure of the marriage."He'd think it
was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
can never be sure."
     Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
since been very guarded about her own money.
     Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
day."

C．women are money sensitive
D．financial conflicts often occur
2．The underlined word "savvy" in Paragraph 1 probably means________.
A．suspicious
B．secure
C．wise
D．simple
3．Which inference can we make about Margaret?
A．She is a unique woman.
B．She was once divorced.
C．She is going to retire.
D．She has many children.
4. The author mentions Colleen's example to show________.
A．any couple can avoid marriage conflicts
B．privacy within marriage should be respected
C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
