6、Drinking is healthy, exercise is healthy, and doing a little of both is even healthier, Danish researchers reported.

People who neither drink more exercise have a 30 to 49 per cent higher risk of heart disease than people who do one or both of the activities, the researchers said in the European Heart Journal.

 “The main finding is there seems to be an additional beneficial effect of drinking one to two drinks per day and doing at least moderate physical activity,” said Morten Gronbaek of the University of Southern Denmark, who led the study.

Several major studies have found that light to moderate drinking up to two drinks a day—is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, and some have also found this leads to a lower risk of some cancers. But the Danish study, one of the largest of its kind to examine the combined effect of drinking and exercise, found there were additional protective effects gained from doing both.

The researchers collected information on the drinking and exercise habits of nearly 12,000 people aged 20 years or older between 1981 and 1983. Over the next 20 years, some 1,200 of the participants died from heart disease and about 5,900 died from other causes.

Non drinkers had a 30 per cent to 31 per cent higher risk of heart disease compared to moderate drinkers, no matter what the amount of physical activity they undertook. Moderate consumption was defined as between 1 to 14 drinks per week. But teetotalers （絕對禁酒者） who exercised at least moderately were able to reduce their risk of heart disease, an important finding for people who refuse to drink because of religious beliefs or other health issues such as pregnancy, the researchers said.

People who had the lowest risk of dying from any cause were physically active, moderate drinkers while those at highest risk were the physically inactive, heave drinkers, the study found.

1．What kind of people have the lowest risk of dying from any heart disease and other causes?

       A．Those who are physically active and heavy drinkers.

       B．Those who exercise and drink moderately.

       C．People who neither drink nor exercise.

       D．People who are physically inactive and moderate drinkers.

2．How many drinks does a moderate drinker drink?

       A．More than three drinks per day.             B．One or two drinks per month.

       C．One to fourteen drinks per week.          D．Fourteen drinks every day.

3．What is implied in the passage?

       A．All teetotalers can reduce their risk of heart disease.               

       B．Drinking is forbidden in some religions.

       C．Some 1,200 participants died from heart disease over 20 years.

       D．Heavy drinkers have the highest risk of heart disease.

What makes a good news photograph?

As you’re thinking about taking news photographs, think about what makes up a good picture.

Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience. It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, crazily happy fans the moment the big game is won.

Uniqueness is eye-catching. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have context by showing the surrounding scene, or show the emotion on the faces of the people in the picture.

Timeliness is critical. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been destined for the front page when you took it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website a week later.

Control is important. Please remember, absolutely no photo is worth bothering others, putting yourself or others in danger, or getting in trouble with the law.

       We’re looking forward to seeing your pictures.
