Will Eating Less Help You Live Longer?

If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. Researchers in the United States say eating less can slow the aging process (过程) of cells in the body.

John Price, a professor at Brigham Young University in the U.S. state of Utah, with other researchers, studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as 16 as it wanted. The researchers controlled what the second group ate. Their food had 35 percent fewer calories (卡路里) than the first group of mice. Price said the second group of mice was more 17 and had fewer diseases. He and his team found that 18 calories slowed aging.

The researchers found that fewer calories slow down cells’ ribosomes (核糖体). Price explained that ribosomes are used to make important proteins (蛋白质). But with fewer calories, ribosomes slow down. This gives ribosomes more time to 19 themselves. Price used cars to explain this as an example. “Like a car, a ribosome isn’t a simple 20 . It needs repairs to change the broken parts. When the glass of the car is broken,” he explained, “you don’t need to throw the 21 car away and buy a new one. It costs less to change the glass.” Price said that because of this, it is 22 to break a whole ribosome when it starts to break down. “Instead, repairing single part of the ribosome makes ribosomes continue producing high quality proteins. This top quality production keeps cells and the whole 23 working well,” he added.

Earlier studies have shown a connection between calorie reduction and slowed aging. However, this is first to show how the ribosomes can 24 aging. Price said the findings help to explain

25 exactly people become older. And this may help us make more wise decisions about what we eat. 16. A. more B. much C. little D. less 17. A. energetic B. clever C. special D. careful 18. A. adding B. reducing C. keeping D. improving 19. A. recycle B. renew C. repair D. reuse 20. A. cell B. part C. machine D. material 21. A. whole B. different C. expensive D. cheap 22. A. useless B. unnecessary C. difficult D. important 23. A. body B. part C. calorie D. food 24. A. grow B. make C. choose D. influence 25. A. when B. where C. how D. whether 三、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

The British government has started a ￡10 million Mandarin Excellence (普通话优秀）Program. The program will see over 5,000 British students towards fluency (流利) in Mandarin Chinese by 2020.

The program is led by local schools and supported by University College London. So far, 14 schools have taken part in the program. Hundreds of secondary school students in England have taken lessons in Mandarin Chinese. Over the next three years, they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week.

Nick Gibb is an officer of the British government. He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important. “Language skills are important for jobs and life. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is also one of the languages that matters the most to our country’s future. If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive (竞争的) in the world，we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good command (精通）of Mandarin Chinese,” Gibb added. “We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language. We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this. It will not only open the students’ eyes, but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work.”

British kids, in fact, are not alone. In America, about 200,000 students are studying Mandarin Chinese. It is believed that 800,000 more will join them over the next couple of years.

After a year of fights between American citizens and police officers, police in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are trying something different: Making 2017 a “Year of Kindness.” The police in Juneau, Alaska started Acts of Kindness to encourage citizens to do at least one act of kindness every day. The idea for the activity came from the policewoman Kris Sell. “I had this idea in August last year that we needed to do something, and if people have these attacks at their hate, we can reduce their hate. And how we can reduce their hate is with kindness,” Sell said.

The Juneau police are doing several different things to support Acts of Kindness. For example, officers are giving away donated clothes the first Saturday of each month to anyone who needs them. Sell also said the police had developed a ‘kindness surge’ calendar two months before. Juneau citizens signed up for weekly activities on the planner last month.

Acts of Kindness has received a lot of support. “The town was very excited about it. I’m not sure why the effort is welcome by so many people, but I think it has to do with a situation that people don’t like seeing around them, and they want to do something to change their environment,” Sell told the reporters.

Sell thought police officers should take the lead on Acts of Kindness. She hopes the activity will spread across the country so that other communities become nicer places to live.

36. When did the policewoman come up with the idea of Acts of Kindness?

A. Last August. B. Last month. C. Last week. D. Last Saturday. 37. The underlined word “them’’ means ________ in Paragraph 2.

A. officers B. attacks C. citizens D. clothes 38. Many people in the town support Acts of Kindness because________.

A. they are not satisfied with their environment B. the natural environment is polluted seriously

C. the citizens have developed a ‘kindness surge’ calendar D. there is a good relationship between citizens and police 39. According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. the police in Juneau will solve all crimes B. citizens in Juneau will make better communities

C. the police in Juneau don’t treat local citizens well D. more and more citizens in Juneau want to be policemen 40. The passage is most probably from________.

A. an action film B. a news report C. a detective story D. a science magazine 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

In our life, success does not belong to (属于) a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing

- 3 -

to go after it and put their effort into doing what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be successful.

Desire Desire (渴望) is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t be successful.

Fail Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success, you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will be a success.

Work Harder Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence thatwill cause success.

Enjoy the Journey Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success means the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “If you don’t change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will be successful.
