Tennessee Wildlife Federatin.
“I want t travel the wrld, teach thers, and help them feel cnnected t the cean. Because if yu are cnnected

A new study invlving nearly 50.000 peple frm fur cntinents ffers new insights int identifying the
第 5页/共 12页
quantity f daily walking steps that will best imprve adults’ health and lngevity（长寿）, and whether the ideal
number f steps differs acrss peple f different ages. The study represents an effrt t develp an evidence-based
public health message abut the benefits f physical activity. The ften-repeated 10.000-step-a-day saying grew ut
f a decades—ld marketing activity fr a Japanese pedmeter（计步器）, with n science t back it up.
Led by physical activity prfessr Amanda Paluch, an internatinal grup f scientists cnducted an
experiment amng adults aged 18 and lder. They gruped the nearly 50,000 participants int fur cmparative
grups accrding t average steps per day. The lwest step grup averaged 3,500 steps; the secnd. 5,800; the third.
7,800; and the furth, 10,900 steps per day. Amng the three higher active grups, there was a 40-53% lwer risk
f death, cmpared t the lwest step grup.
Mre specifically. fr adults 60 and lder, the risk f early death evened ut at abut 6,000-8,000 steps per
day. meaning that mre steps than that prvided n additinal benefit fr lngevity, while fr adults yunger than
60, abut 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“S, what we saw was this cntinuing reductin in risk as the number f steps increases, until it levels f.
Interestingly, the study fund n definitive assciatin with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supprts and expands findings frm anther study led by Paluch befre, which fund that
walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged peple’s risk f early death. “There’s a lt f evidence
suggesting that mving even a little mre is beneficial, particularly fr thse wh are ding very little activity.
Paluch says.”Mre steps per day are better fr yur health.”
8. Why did the scientists carry ut the new study?
A. T knw abut peple’s health cnditin.
B. T explain the pedmeter’s wrking principles.
C. T determine the best physical activity fr peple.
D. T prvide a scientific guideline n daily walking.

C. became unstable. D. changed rapidly.
10. Which is true accrding t the experiment?
A. All the persns shuld walk as much as pssible.
B. Old peple usually walk mre than the yung.
C. Walking pace is the key t aviding early death.

In ur bdy everything is imprtant t ur health n matter hw small it is. There’s a small fatty thymus(胸
腺), an rgan lcated in ur upper chest, just behind the breastbne. This rgan is ften said t be a ‘waste’ in
adulthd. Hwever, a review study suggests the thymus is nt nearly as useless as experts nce thught.
In childhd, the thymus is knwn t play a critical rle in develping the immune(免疫的) system. When
the thymus is remved at a yung age, patients shw lng-term reductins in T-cells, which are a type f white
bld cell that fights against germs(细菌) and disease. Kids withut a thymus als tend t have a damaged
immune respnse t vaccines.
By the time a persn hits adlescence, the thymus shrivels up and prduces far fewer T-cells fr the bdy. It
can seemingly be remved withut immediate harm, and because it sits in frnt f the heart, it is ften taken ut
during heart surgery. Fr sme patients with thymus cancer r autimmune diseases, they need surgery t remve
the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a prblem.
Using patient data frm a state healthcare system, researchers in Bstn cmpared the utcmes f patients
wh had undergne heart surgery: mre than 6,000 peple (the cntrl grup) wh did nt have their thymus
remved and 1,146 peple wh did have their thymus remved. Thse wh underwent a thymus remval were
almst twice as likely, as cntrls t die within 5 years, even after accunting fr sex, age and race. Patients wh
had their thymus remved were als twice as likely t develp cancer within 5 years f surgery.
Why these assciatins exist is unknwn, but researchers suspect a lack f thymus is smehw messing with
the healthy functin f the adult immune system. “Tgether, these findings supprt a rle fr the thymus
cntributing t new T-cell prductin in adulthd and t adult health,” the authrs cnclude. Their results, they
say, strngly suggest that the thymus plays a functinally imprtant rle in ur cntinued health.
12. Why is the thymus imprtant in childhd?
A. It results in bld. B. It repairs immune functins.
C. It damages immune system. D. It makes T-cells.
13. Which is TRUE accrding t the article?
A. When the thymus is remved at a yung age, it wn’t affect T-cells.
第 7页/共 12页
B. The functin f the thymus is prducing bld.
C. Remving the thymus desn’t result in any prblems.
D. The thymus is a crucial rgan in ur bdy.
14. What’s the purpse f paragraph 4?
A. t analyse data. B. T reach a cnclusin.
C. T prvide evidence. D. T illustrate the purpse.
15. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. Studies n the thymus still need imprving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients shuld have the thymus maintained.
D. Remving the thymus stimulates the immune system.

As Samuel Jhnsn says, great wrks are perfrmed nt by strength, but perseverance. In life, there are always
ups and dwns, different persns have different attitudes when faced with them.
As a single mther, I’ve never dubted my daughter Allen’s dream t be a dancer n the stage. At an early age,
she was crazy abut dancing. Whenever she had a chance, she wuld dance t the music. Her sweet and charming
dancing deeply attracted everyne arund her.
Living in a small city, I tk several dd jbs, determined t d everything in my pwer t supprt her. Sn
after Allen attended schl, her dancing teacher Mary nticed her talent by chance and vlunteered t give her
第 11页/共 12页
sme guidance n hw t dance. Allen practiced s hard that befre lng she made great prgress in dancing.
Unfrtunately, ne night a year later, Allen was crssing the street when a careless driver kncked her dwn.
She was rushed t the hspital. When I hurried there, the dctr tld me that my daughter wuld prbably nt stand
n her wn feet. I frze with shck, feeling as if I had been thrwn int a dark wrld. Weak and dizzy, I was abut
t fall t the grund when smene tk hld f me.
It was Mary, wh gt the news and raced here. She cmfrted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Allen needs yu.
Yu must stay calm and strng.” I ndded. Having calmed dwn, I entered the ward with Jane.
That night, Allen recvered her cnsciusness (知觉) and pened her eyes. Hlding her hand, I said, “My dear,
everything wuld be fine.” Mary cmfrted her gently, “I knw yu are a strng girl, Allen, Dn’t wrry. We’ll be
standing by yu.” I was heartbrken t see tears streaming dwn Allen’s cheeks.
After tw mnths, we returned hme frm hspital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Allen
eventually accepted the fact that she wuld have t get arund in a wheelchair. Never did she refer t the subject f
dancing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, wh was afraid that talking abut her riginal dream
wuld upset the tw f us.
