F.Other characteristics typical of super.young people |
76.________________
When Dr David Weeks,a clinical neuro-psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland.wanted to look into the secrets of eternal(永久的) youth ,he advertised for subjects who looked younger than their age.An independent panel examined photographs of respondents,and selected 3,500 people who looked on average l2 to 14 years younger than their actual age to take part in the study.
77.________________
These subjects were studied for eight years.The main aim of the study was to discover whether environment or heredity had more effect on the ageing process.The conclusion was that genetic programming is the main factor.But the study also showed that avoiding stress can slow down the ageing process.
78.________________
Stress seems to have an immediate effect on appearance.A separate study of middle-aged women showed that women suffering form serious stress looked older in just a few months.Yet when the problem causing the stress was removed,they very quickly looked younger.
79.________________
Here is a list of the factors that Dr.Weeks found that allowed his subjects to lead less stressful lives than others.First,they tend to have happy relationships with their partners.These relationships are based on trust and empathy,and provide security and comfort when dealing with stressful problems.Secondly,they tended to avoid sources of hostility instead of allowing them to make them angry.
80.________________
Next, they seem to have a good sense of humor.They like to have fun,and are enthusiastically involved in a variety of hobbies.They also seemed less willing to conform to others’ ideas.They prefer to think for themselves.They tend to have a good attitude towards health and exercise as well.They avoid the sun,do not smoke, and eat a healthy diet.
So these are the secrets of the “ super-young”:a loving relationship.Regular exercise.a variety of hobbies,a healthy diet and avoidance of stress.

It"s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there"re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a team. For example, some supermarkets can buy office stuff to people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the check out into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company"s shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which automatically only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in that industry can seriously plan to be the best.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.
One 36 , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle. It was 8:30 am and he was almost 37 for work, so he asked his wife to 38 the lid on the bottle and put it in the cupboard. Busy in the kitchen, the mother 39 forgot the matter. Seeing the bottle, the boy picked it up playfully and 40 the liquid in it. It was a medicine 41 for adults to be taken in small dosages (剂量). When the boy fell down, the mother hurried him to a(n) 42 where he died. The mother was terrified. How could she 43 her husband?
When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he 44 his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I 45 you, darling.”
The husband’s totally 46 reaction was positive. Their son could never be 47 back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened 48 he had taken the time to put the bottle away.
The mother had also lost her only 49 . What she needed at that moment was 50 and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is 51 , only to miss the opportunity to enjoy the 52 in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. Why don’t we 53 someone we love for the “mistake” they didn’t make on purpose?
Treasure what you 54 , let go of all your anger, 55 to forgive, and selfishness and you will find fewer problems in the world.

There were two things in the world that Ghagra Geeta Bali hated. The first was the way,Rani,the domestic help.combed her hair.The second was,you guessed it,her name. She hated her name so much that she prayed to god every night:Dear god,let me be born again. So I can have a name like Rita or Preeti.A short,smart one-word name.
On Tuesday,Ghagra Geeta Bali and her mother went for their usual shopping. There was a long queue of children just outside the record store.They went loser to look. It was yet another scheme to sell a few audio cassettes.Everyone who bought a cassette qualified for the scheme.
In this case,the artist whose songs were featured on the cassette was a young sensation called Malik Fafidabadi,a great favorite with teenagers. Ghagra Geeta Bali was no exception.
A friendly young man was writing down the names of the people who wanted to participate in the scheme.Out of this long list Malik would pick one name,and the chosen one would get to meet him.plus of course,win many freebies(赠品).
But when her mother asked her to participate,Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She didn"t want to speak out her name in front of so many people and make herself the butt(笑料)of amusement. But mothers being mothers,she just went up to the man and told him in firm tones:“Please enter my daughter"s name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali.”
“It is what?” the man asked,naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is,”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen.But the following week she received a call.It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name,” said the public relations man who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn"t wait to meet the brave girl bearing it.”

11-year-old Courtney Thompson was so passionate about gymnastics that she would practice five hours a day until her arms were sore and her elbows swollen.She rarely complained about her tough schedule,and for good reason.Courtney was ranked the best gymnast in the State for her age,and she dreamed of going to the Olympics.But on January 12th,2005,while practicing a routine exercise,she felt an unbearable pain in the left elbow.The medical examination then revealed a severe injury,resulting in an immediate surgery and a slow,painful recovery.
What happened to Courtney Thompson is a red flag in America"s growing epidemic of youth sports injuries.Across the country,younger and younger athletes are injuring themselves in the pursuit of sports achievement.The U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 2.8 million Americans aged 5 through 24 received medical treatment for a sports-related or recreation-related injury in 2003.Severe injuries that used to be limited to professionals are now showing up in high school and even junior high athletes.
There are many reasons behind the outbreak in sports injuries,hut most experts agree on one:the extreme culture of organized youth sports.Gone are the days when children played a variety of games on playgrounds.Child kidnapping and street crime have ended casual neighborhood athletics in many places,leading parents to enroll their children in organized sports under the watchful, though demanding,eyes of adult volunteers and coaches.And movies like Friday Night Lights glorify the thrill of victory for young athletes with single-minded dedication to athletic achievement.
From high school gyms to county hall fields,41 million children younger than 19 participated in organized youth sports in 2005,according to the latest research by the National Council of Youth Sports. The figure represents a 25 percent increase since 1997.
Parental involvement 1”youth sports has also made childhood games less about having fun and more about training and competing for the top spot.1anding a college scholarship or launching a promising career Hoping to nurture the next Michelle Kwan or Apolo Ohno,some parents guide their children into specializing in one sport But the repetitive training required to master a sport places enormous stresses on hones and muscles that are still developing.
67.The passage is mainly about_________
A.children’s participation in organized sports
B.the main causes of the youth sports injuries
C.the way to train children in organized sports
D.the common occurrence of youth sports injuries
68.The underlined part “Fed flag” in the second paragraph most probably means“_______”.
A.warning B.problem C. symbol D.mark
69.Why is the number of sports injuries among children in America growing?
A.Because of their increasing fondness for sports.
B.Because children are not professional enough fur sports
C.Because more children are seeking for sports achievements.
D.Because of the involvement of the parents and more organized sports
70. We can learn from the passage that __________
A.about 10.25 million youngsters participated in organized sports in 1997
B.parents give limited chances for children to choose their sports
C.serious injuries often happened to young students in the past
D.courtney Thompson will never become a famous gymnast
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night.

In the hospital , on the other hand, he was , of course , allowed to do the simplist jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.
