Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.
Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.
At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.
During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.
I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.
The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.
4. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?
A. He dreams of becoming a doctor.
B. He wants to teach others about the topic.
C. His family members encourage him to do so.
D. He was born with a high risk of heart disease.
5. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?
A. Housing, food and cooperation.
B. Diet, activity and rest.
C. Physical work, social life and lifespan.
D. Group size, family history and consumption
6. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?
A. Natural sound.
B. Routine activity.
C. Animal behaviour.
D. Natural light.
7. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?
A. Take in less sugar and salt.
B. Stand less and walk more.
C. Eat white meat instead of red meat.
D. Live in the middle of the community.
C
Conducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.
It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.
Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.
So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source. Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.
8. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?
A. Be gentle with the source.
B. Carry on a long conversation.
C. Make the conversation interesting.
D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.
9. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. give away
B. leave out
C. get rid of
D. take up
10. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?
A. A direct quote.
B. An important point of view.
C. A piece of basic information.
D. Something funny a source says interestingly.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The job of a journalist.
B. The process of interviewing.
C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.
D
Each year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.
12. How did pancake racing start?
A. A woman in Olney created it.
B. Women made pancakes before Lent.
C. A woman dashed to church with a pancake.
D. People followed the suit of an interesting incident.
13. What should racers obey during the race?
A. They can wear fashionable headscarves and aprons.
B. They must flip their pancakes once in the race.
C. They must flip their pancakes at the beginning of the race.
D. They can flip their pancakes in the middle of the race.
14. What can we learn about the race from the last paragraph?
A. People can show their talent in Olney festival.
B. People can enjoy a one-day holiday in Liberal.
C. The race is not only intended for women now.
D. People can have a big pancake breakfast in both towns.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The origin of pancake racing.
B. The history of pancake racing.
C. The development of pancake racing.
D. The introduction to pancake racing.
