Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bambooand since the 19th century from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result. they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CDROMs or machines such as MP3players. Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two meters high!51.What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?A. He reads books.B.

The Fat Problem That Men Face

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game， they don"t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However， women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem， especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30"s， but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I"ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me， with a sheepish grin， that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "ailored."

Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often， wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother， a former college football player， as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out， "Fat， medium or thin？" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch， and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife， he stands in front of the mirror in the morning （before the day"s meals take their toll）， puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend， then clutches the roll that has developed and says， "Am I getting fatter？"

His wife is expected to answer， "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands， a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one， he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn"t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie， we sprint to a restaurant， where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup， he grows plaintive. Do I think he"s fat？

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem. 查看材料

C.Not mentioned

same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television. They stress. Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18 week course of daily walks. They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.

In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The "long walker" took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. "Intermediate walkers" had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 minutes, and "short walkers" did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.

At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood. At the end, each liter of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0.05 grains less apolipoprotein(阿朴脂蛋白) II, a "bad" fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walker was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a "good" fat that is associated with smooth arteries.

1、According to the researchers, ______ is least beneficial to your health.

A、taking a lengthy hike once a day

B、going shopping several times every day

D、sitting in the sofa watching TV every evening

2、"Couch potato" in paragraph 2 is used to refer to a kind of ______.

A、farmers

B、vegetables

3、Which of the following statement is FALSE？()

A、Longer walks benefit our composition of blood fats

B、The subjects in the study all often watch TV

C、Only longer walks benefit our health

D、The subjects in the study may not like exercises

4、The subjects are divided into ______ groups.

A、four

B、three

C、two

D、one

5、Why is long walk beneficial to our heart？()

A、It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein I

B、It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein II

C、It keeps us from watching TV

D、It helps us lose weight
