This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70．Overall，after accounting for grandparents’age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare．Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t a relative. Half of a11 childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while non-helpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society．Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino．Arpino noted，however，that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering．“Children should take into account their parents’needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested．“It is very important that every indivi dual decides for him／herself，what proper amounts ofhelp’means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself．”8. What is the caregiving study based on?A. Human evolutionary history．B. Demand modern society．C. Social contact between relatives．D. Data on many elderly people．9. In Arpino’s opinion，childcare________．A. is sure to keep old people away from illnessesB. allows old people to live a more meaningful lifeC. creates more job opportunities for old peopleD. makes social activities inaccessible to old people10.

Grandparents can do anything in their own interests．B. Grandparents should share more social responsibilities．C. Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents．D. Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.DIn an effort to discourage people from using plastics，scientists have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging products．From water bottles made from seaweed to cutlery(餐具)made from rice and wheat，a number of inventions are set to change the way we eat while we are on the go，or having a relaxing picnic in the park．The idea of using seaweed to make eco-friendly(环保的)water bottles has been around for a fewyears．Recently，Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled．As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down，though they would be perfectly safe to eat．Ari Jonsson’s bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones．The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future．NarayanaPessapaty has also created eatable spoons．After the success of his spoons．MrPessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu．His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste，which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world．It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down，and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it．Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment，this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to buy．Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be made at home，possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends．Why not get experimenting and create your own recipes?12. Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?A. To make people’s life more convenient．B. To reduce the amount of plastic waste．C. To charge the way we picnic outside．D.

They are safe to eat．C. They can be used for a short time．D. They are heavier than plastics．15. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular．B. Eatable cutlery’will completely replace plastics in the near future．C. No recycling companies can breakdown plastic waste．D. It’s unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
