Like distance runners on a measured course,all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.
In the first stage of our lives,we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality(活力).
After we grow up,however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.
A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality,yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.
Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body.The lungs become less able to take in oxygen.Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength.The heart loses power and pumps less blood.Bones grow easier to break.
Finally, we meet a stress,a stress that is greater than our physical resistance.Often,it is only a minor accident or chance infection(a disease caused by virus),but this time,it brings life to an end.
In 1932,a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats,simply by cutting back the calories in their diet The reason for the effect was then unknown.
Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr.Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats.The result was achieved through a special protein limited diet,which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain.Seagle showed that within the brain,specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging.By changing that chemical balance,the clock of aging can be reset.
For the first time, the mystery of why we age is being seriously challenged.Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.
An average lifetime lasts 75 years,yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life.If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at age twenty, we would live for 800 years.

  1. 1.

    What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

    1. A.
      Physical vitality.
    2. B.
      Stress.
    3. C.
      Aging.
    4. D.
      Physical resistance.
  2. 2.

    Which of the following is not a change of aging?

    1. A.
      People gradually lose their muscle strength.
    2. B.
      Bones tend to break more easily.
    3. C.
      The heart loses power and pumps less blood.
    4. D.
      The lungs become unable to take in oxygen.
  3. 3.

    The author believes the following except that     

    1. A.
      human's life pattern is predictable
    2. B.
      physical fitness can't stop the force of aging
    3. C.
      human's lifetime will last longer than 75 years
    4. D.
      all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body
  4. 4.

    How did Dr.Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?

    1. A.
      By keeping their physical fitness.
    2. B.
      By cutting the calories in their diet.
    3. C.
      By resetting their clock of aging.
    4. D.
      By limiting the protein in their diet.
  5. 5.

    What is probably the best title for the article?

    1. A.
      Two Great Experiments
    2. B.
      The Mystery of Human Life
    3. C.
      The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging
    4. D.
      Ways to lengthen Human Life

  All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin-killing, so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town, Taiji.The American activist, who is the star of a new award-winning documentary that portrays the dolphin-killing here, got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.

  His movie, The Cove(海豚湾), directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.

  Scenes in the film, some of which were shot secretly, show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins-which have supersensitive sonar(声纳系统)-and sends them fleeing into a cove.

  There, the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows, for as much as $150,000.They kill the others, spearing(刺)the animals repeatedly until the water turns red.The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50,000 yen, and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.

  Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years.Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally-and eventually in Japan.

  Already, the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28-year sister-city relationship with Taiji last month, partly because of the movie.

  “Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat,” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya.“Dolphin-killing may be negative for our international image, but it is not something orders can stop.”

  The town government in Taiji-which has made whales and dolphins its trademark-refused to comment about The Cove, or the growing international criticism against dolphin-killing.

  Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life.They are defensive about The Cove, seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.

B.

C.

D.

(4)

[  ]

A.

Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.

B.

Protecting themselves against criticism.

C.

Attacking those against dolphin-killing.

D.

Making the determination to change.

(5)

What can we infer from the passage?
