AThree tips to age better, keep your body and mind younger, longer, with the research-backed advice. According to ScienceDo Pushups This Many Times Per WeekThe research: Adults 65 and older who strength-trained twice a week were 46 percent less likely to die over the course of a 15-year study compared with those who didn’t work their muscles that often. Previous research in The American Journal of Medicine found that muscle mass was actually a better predictor of longevity than individuals’ body mass index (BMI). These studies show association, not causation, so experts aren’t sure how muscle mass might translate to a longer life, but the results are a pretty persuasive reason to pick up some dumbbells or drop and give yourself 20 (or—who are we kidding?—10).What you can do: Incorporate more resistance moves into your workouts. You don’t need equipment to do them—try these 3 no-equipment workouts you can do anywhere.Take Your Breakfast Sandwich Without the SausageThe research: You know that processed meat is not the healthiest thing you can eat, but here’s another reason to eat it less it often. A large review of studies by the Mayo Clinic found that daily red-meat consumption was linked to a higher risk of death—particularly processed meats, like bacon, sausage and salami. Specifically, eating lots of these meats was linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer among Western populations.What you can do: There are benefits to simply eating less meat—one study in the review found that the risk of death was 25 to 50 percent lower for people with very low meat intake compared to those with very high intakes. In addition, long-term vegetarians (defined in the review as people who’d been meat-free for 17 years or more) lived an average of 3.6 years longer than other study participants.Do Something Each Day That Makes You Feel HealthyThe research: Out of 65 different risk factors linked to early death, people’s thoughts on how healthy they felt (also known as subjective health) was one of the strongest predictors of their actual risk of death, according to a study in Psychological Science. The healthier they felt, the longer they lived. Of course, actually being healthy was also important, but the researchers say they were surprised by how big of an effect subjective health had.What you can do: This study is all the more reason to make choices that make you feel healthier, whether that’s going for a midday walk, choosing seltzer over soda or getting to bed at a reasonable hour. They could help motivate you to continue making good choices.21．If you want to exercise your muscle mass, what can you do?A.Incorporate more resistance moves into your workouts.B. Eat less meat.C. Make choices that make you feel healthier.D. Get to bed at a reasonable hour.22．If a person thinks that he feels unhealthy, it is .A. a better predictor of longevityB. one of the strongest predictors of actual risk of deathC. linked to a higher rate of cardiovascular diseaseD. linked to a possibility of suffering cancer23．At which website can you find this article?A. B. C. D. 英语试卷第 3页（共 10 页）BAfter years of planning and months of expectations, the 2018 Summer Games finally began in Brazil on August 5. Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the world’s most famous sporting event.The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the world’s first ―Olympic Refugee ( 难民)Team.‖The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2018, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2018, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination — Greece.Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2018, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever ―Refugee Team.‖International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, ―Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.‖24.W hat do we know about Yusra’s fleeing journey to Greece?A.I t was very smooth.B.

The answer could be to learn another language. Or at least that's the case according to a majority of Americans and Britons polled in a new survey by language app Babbel. Apparently, 71% of Americans and 61% of Britons believe speaking more than one language makes a person seem more attractive.Of 3,000 English-speakers polled in the US and the UK, nine out of 10 admitted they'd learn a new language in pursuit of love. About half said they'd dreamed about a romance with someone from another country. And moving from the bedroom to boardroom, about one in four Americans and Britons think that being monolingual has held them back professionally.So it's probably no surprise that one in eight confessed to having exaggerated their language skills on a resume."Languages not only enable you to expand yourself in terms of perspective and skillset, but they also open doors and help you better understand other cultures and peoples," Miriam Plieninger, director of didactics at Babbel, tells CNN."Knowing another language helps to break barriers and to connect on a special level of mutual understanding; be it while on the street, traveling, or in business."Globally, more than half the world can speak at least two languages—but Western English-speakers are lagging behind.28.What is NOT the benefit of learning another language?A.Achieving greater success in your careerB.Achieving greater success in your love life.C.Having a healthier brain.D.Expanding your perspective.29.What does the underlined word ―monolingual‖ in paragraph2 mean?A.knowing only one language.B.Knowing another language.C.speaking at least two language.D.moving from the bedroom to boardroom30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.About 25% of the English-speakers surveyed would learn a new language in pursuit of love.B.About 50% of the English-speakers surveyed had dreamed to love someone from another country.C.About 18% of the English-speakers exaggerated their language skills on a resume.D.About 50% of the people in the world can speak at least two languages.31.The method the writer uses to support the main idea of the passage is .A.by presenting survey dataB.by giving examplesC.by making a comparisonD.by analyzing cause and effectDThere was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content. He was happy because he was content. He was content because he was happy.One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along them. The wise man says, ―If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist you could probably own your own country.‖ And then he went away.That night the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent, and he was discontent because he was unhappy.The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, took care of his family and went in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn’t find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally, physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committed suicide.Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it would look good on the mantelpiece. He picked up the stone and put it in the living room. That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, "Is Hafiz back?" The new owner said, "No, why do you ask?" The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see one." The man said, "No, that's just a stone I picked up from the stream. Come, I'll show you. There are many more.' They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds.32.According to the wise man mentioned in the passage, a diamond as big as your thumb is worth .A. a farmB. a cityC. a countryD. the whole Europe33.Why did the farmer killed himself?A.Because he had sold off his farm.B.
