9、Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly．Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be   1  for your health．And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it   2   ．

       Research is preliminary, but several studies   3  people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die．

       In an editorial   4  this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define   5  activity to highlight the dangers of sitting．

       While health officials have issued guidelines   6  minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated  7  ．

       "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send   8  signals," Ekblom-Bak said．She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucose and fat in the   9  start to shut down．

       Even for people who   10  , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —   11  still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,   12  in a single bout．

       That wasn't   13  news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting   14  a computer．Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art  15  wrestling, and also does Thai boxing．

       "I'm sure there are some detrimental   16  of staying still for too long, but I hope that being   17  when I can helps," he said．"I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be   18  dangerous．"

       Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat   19  had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised．

       Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．

       Experts said more research is needed to    20  just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects．

6、For most pregnant women, exercise is the last thing on their minds．After all, keeping slim while you’re expecting isn’t exactly the top priority— rather, it’s making sure your baby gets enough nutrients to grow．But in a small new study, researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand report that a mother’s regular aerobic exercise may be good for a growing fetus’ health — and may even help a baby get a healthier start in life．

The finding is a bit surprising, because exercise is known to lower the risk of insulin resistance（胰島素抵抗），a condition eventually leading to diabetes（糖尿病）．Although insulin resistance is a detriment in healthy adults, it turns out to be helpful for proper fetal（胎兒）development．In pregnant women, this condition means nutrients get shunted to the growing baby．

The question is: could a mother’s exercise put her developing baby’s food supply at risk? Past studies looking at the effect of exercise on birth weight have been inconclusive, and none have really investigated the influence of exercise on the mother’s sensitivity to insulin．So the University of Auckland’s Dr．Paul Hoffman and his team decided to study 84 first-time mothers, who were of normal weight on average, and track any effects aerobic exercise（有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)） might have on their insulin sensitivity and, ultimately, on their babies’ birth weight．Researchers asked some women to exercise on a stationary bicycle for at least 40 minutes per session, up to five times each week, starting in the 20th week of pregnancy; the other women were not specifically asked to exercise．When the two groups and their babies were compared, the team found that women who bicycled regularly gave birth to babies who were on average 150g lighter than those born to the non-exercising mothers．In both groups, however, the babies were of healthy weight, and there was no difference in the mothers’ weights．

Generally speaking, babies on the lower end of the normal weight range are considered healthier and less prone to developing diabetes and obesity than heavier ones, so this was an encouraging result．Even more reassuring was that regular exercise did not seem to affect the flow of nutrients to the growing babies in the womb．

1．According to the new study, a pregnant woman’s regular exercise may _______．

      A．bring benefits to a baby’s growth

      B．lower the risk of insulin resistance

      C．put her baby’s food supply at risk

      D．help her keep slim and healthy

2．What does the underlined word “detriment” mean in the second paragraph?

      A．Something that brings good．             B．Something that brings damage．

      C．Something that brings obstacles．       D．Something that brings development．

3．What is the purpose of the experiment carried out by Dr．Paul Hoffman?

      A．To investigate the influence of exercise on pregnant women．

      B．To find out what aerobic exercise can benefit a baby’s growth．

      C．To make sure of the effects exercise may have on babies’ birth weight

      D．To compare the differences between mothers who exercise and who don’t

4．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

      A．Lighter babies are generally believed to be healthier than heavier ones．

      B．Non?－exercising mothers will definitely give birth to heavier babies．

      C．No studies have looked at the effect of exercise on birth weight before．

      D．Some women studied were asked to exercise regularly while some don’t．

5．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

      A．All mothers should take aerobic exercise．

      C．Exercise reduces the risk of insulin resistance．

      D．Heavier babies are more likely to develop diabetes．

5、 

U．S．a(chǎn)irlines are seeing a major interruption because of hundreds of flights canceled due to the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano, but European flight companies will face the biggest losses．

The airline business has been tough: The decline dramatically slowed traffic; February heavy snow forced U．S．a(chǎn)irlines to cancel thousands of flights; and now the ashes from the volcano stopped all traffic in and out of northern Europe for days．

"For U．S．flight companies, it'll be a relatively short-term hit," said Michael Boyd, president of Boyd Group International, an aviation （航空學(xué)） consulting firm．"We think right now they're down about $80 million in terms of lost income, and they're down domestically about 80,000 passengers that would have been flying domestically but aren't because they can't get here．"

Delta announced that volcano-related interruption grounded about 400 flights until Monday at a cost of $20 million in lost revenues．But compare that to the recent snowstorms, when the airline canceled 7,000 flights and lost $65 million in revenue．

The disruption has created uncertainty for customers, but analysts say U．S．a(chǎn)irlines won't face as many costs as you might think．They are not flying in extra planes to handle the passengers in trouble because, airline analyst Robert Mann said, companies simply don't have them．

"Airlines run a very lean operation now," Mann said．"So, since there are no spare aircraft or crews, the airlines will attempt to maximize loads on every one of their aircraft that do fly．But it may take days, or in some cases a week or so, to get some of these customers to where they want to go．"

1．Which negative consequences mentioned in the passage did the disasters cause?

A．coldness, pollution and airlines’ losses    

B．a(chǎn)irport damage, pollution and slow traffic

C．passenger delay, coldness and airport damage

D．passenger delay, airlines’ losses and slow traffic

2．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The fewest airplanes will fly the trapped passengers to their destinations．

B．All the customers are sure to be sent to their destinations in time．

C．The U．S．a(chǎn)nd U．K．a(chǎn)irlines suffered the same losses in the natural disasters．

D．The volcano eruption reduced the traffic to and from northern Europe． 

3．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．the troubles that the airlines will face after the ash cloud disappears

B．the measures that the airlines will take to maximize their profit

C．the present situation of the airlines and their plan to deliver the passengers

D．the reasons why the airlines run a fine operation

4．Why will it take a long time for airlines to send the passengers to their different destinations?

A．Because the passengers enjoy staying in airports to talk with one another．

B．Because the airlines don’t have spare planes or employees to serve．

C．Because the airlines don't have enough financial support after the disaster．

D．Because the passengers are asking for full refund from the airlines．

5．The passage is most probably from_______．

       A．a(chǎn) novel              B．a(chǎn) news report      C．a(chǎn) magazine          D．a(chǎn) thesis

4、Romanian-born German writer Herta Mueller won the 2009 Nobel Prize in literature yesterday, honored for work that "with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, describes the landscape of the dispossessed（被流放者）," the Swedish Academy said．

   The 56-year-old author, who immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987, first gained public attention in 1982 with a collection of short stories titled Niederungen, or Lowlands in English, which was promptly censored（審查通過） by her government．

   In 1984 an uncensored version was smuggled to Germany where it was published and her work describing life in a small, German-speaking village in Romania was popular with the readers there．That work was followed by Oppressive Tango in Romania．

  "The Romanian national press was very critical of these works while, outside of Romania, the German press received them very positively," the Academy said．"Because Mueller had publicly criticized the dictatorship（獨(dú)裁） in Romania, she was prohibited from publishing in her own country．” In 1987 she immigrated to Germany with her husband two years before dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled from power．

   Mueller's parents were members of the German-speaking minority in Romania and father served in the Waffen SS during World War II．After the war ended, many German Romanians were deported（放逐） to the Soviet Union in 1945, including her mother, who spent five years in a work camp in what is now Ukraine．

   Most of her works are in German, but some works have been translated into English, French and Spanish, including The Passport, The Land of Green Plums, Traveling on One Leg and The Appointment．

   Mueller has given guest lectures at universities, colleges and other venues in Paderborn, Warwick, Hamburg, Swansea, Gainsville （Florida）, Kassel, Gottingen, Tubingen and Zurich among other places．She lives in Berlin．Since 1995 she has served as a member of Deutsche Akademie fur Sprache und Dichtung, in Darmstadt．"

   Mueller is the 12th woman to win the literature prize．Recent female winners include Austria's Elfriede Jelinek in 2004 and British writer Doris Lessing in 2007．

   The award includes a $1．4 million prize and will be handed out on December 10
