Set in Pasadena, California, the series originally focused on two physicists and their aspiring actress neighbour. The Big Bang Theory has attracted more than 18 million viewers every year since its sixth season aired in 2012.

People with weaker muscles, or low muscle strength, are 50 percent more likely to die earlier compared to their stronger peers after adjusting for population factors, chronic health conditions and smoking history, a research of the University of  Michigan（UM） found.

The researchers analyzed data of a nationally representative sample of 8,326 men and women aged 65 and older.

Grip strength can be measured using a device called a dynamometer （测力器），which a patient squeezes to measure their strength in kilograms. Researchers used "cut-points（临界 点），” or thresholds, to define levels of strength. Muscle weakness was identified as having a hand grip strength less than 39 kg for men and 22 kg for women.

"Maintaining muscle strength throughout life, especially in later life, is extremely important for longevity and aging independently," said lead researcher Kate Duchowny, who recently completed her doctorate in epidemiology at the UM School of Public Health. A growing body of research has indicated that muscle strength may be an even more important predictor of overall health and longevity than muscle mass, Duchowny said. Additionally, hand grip strength specifically has been found to be inversely related to mobility limitations and disability.

"This study further highlights the importance of integrating grip strength measurements into routine care, not just for older adults but even in midlife," said Duchowny. “Having hand grip strength be an integral part of routine care would allow for earlier interventions, which could lead to increased longevity and independence for individuals. "

28. What can we learn from the text?

A. People with low muscle strength, are 50 percent more likely to die earlier compared to their stronger peers.

B. The date only comes from the sample of 8,326 men and women aged 65 and older.

C. Muscle weakness was identified as having a hand grip strength less than 39 kg for male and 22 kg for female.

D. Maintaining muscle strength throughout life, especially in later life, is extremely important for longevity and aging resistance.

29. What's the practical meaning of this study?

A. Emphasize the importance of putting grip strength measurements into routine care.

B. Indicate how to maintain longevity.

C. Explain how to identify muscle weakness.

D. Explain how to prevent mobility limitations and disability.

30. Which kind of journal might this study be taken from?

A. Biological science. B. Social science.

C. Health science. D. Popular science.

31. What's the suitable title for the text?

A. Maintaining muscle strength throughout life can delay aging.

B. People with low muscle strength are more likely to die earlier.

C. Muscle strength is more important than muscle mass for our health and longevity.

D. Hand grip strength has been found to be inversely related to mobility limitations and

Despite what so many people would love to believe, NASA hasn't discovered any evidence of past or present intelligent life on Mars. So, when the Curiosity rover（好奇号探测器）found something suspicious on the Red Planet's surface, they were not only surprised but also a little bit worried.

The thin fragment （碎片）was suspicious enough to guarantee its own name, with NASA's Curiosity rover team calling it the "Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris," named for the location where it was discovered. With no idea what it was or where it came from, the rover's handlers began to worry that it might actually be a piece of the rover itself, suggesting some unseen damage or other issue with the robot. Thankfully, those concerns seem to have been unfounded.

In a new update from NASA the object has now been identified as a natural piece of rock rather than a piece of any man-made craft or vehicle. The team analyzed the bizarre object with a tool called the ChemCam RMI. The instrument uses a laser（激光器）to sniff out the makeup of anything it's pointed at, and the results for this particular piece of debris revealed that it's actually just a very thin piece of rock.

NASA describes the inspection： The planning day began with an interesting result from the previous plan's ChemCam RMI analysis of a target that was referred to as "Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris"（PPFOD）, and speculated to be a piece of spacecraft debris. In fact it was found to be a very thin flake of rock, so we can all rest easy tonight—Curiosity has not begun to shed its skin!

How this particularly thin sliver of rock got to where it is—and why it seems to be a different colour than the surrounding sand and debris —remains unexplained* but at least the rover isn't falling apart.

32. What attitude does NASA hold towards the newly found thin fragment?

A. Positive. B. Surprised.

C. Interested. D. Amazed but worried.

33. What is the "Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris" named for?

A. Its finder. B. Its location.

C. Its researcher. D. Its shape.

34. What does the underlined word “bizarre” mean?

A. Strange. B. Changeable. C. Normal. D. Common.

35. Which of the following questions has got clear answer?

A. How this particularly thin sliver of rock got to where it is.

B. Why it seems to be a different colour than the surrounding sand and debris.

C. Whether the rover is falling apart.

D. None of them.
