Depression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.
The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.
Theresearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed（诊断）with a mental disorder.
The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was 20%higher among men with a diagnosis.
“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking, drinking and other drug use.”
“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease, particularly if people stay fit as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.
4. How does the author develop paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing figures.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By drawing a conclusion.
5. What are men with low stress resilience likely to do?
A. Smoke more.
B. Eat more.
C. Sleep less.
D. Do less exercise.

A. Physical activitiesadd to stress.
B. Stress may cause heart disease.
C. Taking exercise is unnecessary.
D. Staying fit is of great importance.

People saved a 20-foot orca (虎鲸) that was stuck between rocks on an Alaskan shore by continuously pouring water over it and protecting it from birds who circled above the defenseless whale.
The whale was ultimately saved after a six-hour, labor-intensive life-saving operation. Someone spotted the large whale on the Prince of Wales Island near the coast of British Columbia on the morning of July 29th. The Coast Guard was called around 9 a.m. local time. Chance Strickland, the captain of a private yacht in Alaska, and his crew anchored and began life-saving action that were videoed by Aroon Melane and posted on the Internet.
Strickland could hear the orca calling out to killer whales swimming in the area. People on other boats stopped with water and buckets to pour water over the animal. “There were tears coming out of its eyes,” Mr. Strickland told the local newspaper. “It was pretty sad.”
The group of people formed a chain that passed buckets of seawater back and forth and poured the water on the orca, which seemed to liven it up. It made a noise and raised its tail when it got water.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was called in, which can be seen on the video using a machine to spray amist of seawater on the orca, which doubled as a way to keep the whale cool and scare the large group of birds that were hoping to feast on the beast.
Melane said in her video that the orca was stranded (搁浅) for about six hours until the tide came in andswept it back into the ocean. The group efforts of Strickland’s crew and the NOAA saved the 13-year-old killer whale.
8. Why did birds circle above the orca?
A. They were eager to eat it.
B. They wished to protect it.
C. They were attracted by the people.
D. They wanted to find a place to rest.
9. What did Strickland do immediately after finding the whale?
A. Posted pictures online.
B. Called friends for help.
C. Took action to save it.
D. Videoed the trapped animal.
10. Why did the whale make a noise and raise its tail?
A. To express its eager for water.
B. To extend its thanks to people.
C. To call out to its fellow whales.
D. To show its power and sadness.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Killer Whale Got Saved
B. The Orca Inspired Kindness
C. Combined Efforts Wanted
D. Animals and Humans United

In the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.
This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.
We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.
Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.
While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can
create a sense of community for many.
For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.
With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.
12. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Study.
B. Sell.
C. Adjust.
D. Promote.
13. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.
B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.
C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.
D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?
A. Supportive.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Objective
D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching?
B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?
C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control?
D. HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项When we come home from a long day at school, our clogs are so happy to see us. Their faces look happy,with mouths wide open.___16___
It's probably not an illusion(错觉）at all. In fact, two centuriesof modern science has good evidence that humans and animals share emotions—including the kind of emotion that results in laughter.
US animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet carried out research on a special sound that dogs make when they play.___17___. It is quite different from other dog sounds like whining（哀鸣）and growling（咆哮）.Simonet believed it is laughter.
Even other dogs seem to recognize and associate the “laugh" with pleasure.___18___when Simonet played the laughter to other dogs, reported ABC News.
It might not surprise us that dogs—our traditional“best friends”—like to laugh. But other research suggests that creatures? like rats, also laugh.
Estonian researcher Jaak Panksepp did experiments on rats.___19___. When Panksepp tickled his rats on the neck, they made a chirping（唧唧声）sound, which the scientist believed was laughter. The rats liked the tickling so much, he reported, that they sought more of it. According toScientific American, Panksepp's rats would follow his finger around to make him tickle them again.
While studies have shown that dogs and rats “laugh“ when they play? it doesn't mean that all animals really laugh even if they make a laughter-like sound.
Take hyenas（土狼）for example. The hyena is well known for making a noise that sounds like a person laughing loudly. But studies show the hyenas don't make the noise because they think something is funny.___20___
But make no mistake? when your dog welcomes you home, it's definitely laughing.
A.You can make your dog laugh at times
ughter can relieve their nervousness
C.He found that they had a sense of humor and fun
D.The sound is a “forced, breathy exhalation（呼气）”
E.We've all wondered whether our dogs are smiling at us
F.Some would seek out toys and others would run toward the source
G.The “laughing“ is actually a noise they make when they are excited or frightened
