26、Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.

So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.

A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:

Sorry, I’m still alive!

【1】How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?

A．She is miserable and unhappy.

B．She feels she is going to die very soon.

C．She would like to live much longer.

D．She is cheerful and humorous.

【2】Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to ________.

A．smoking only a little every day

B．the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise

C．drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day

D．her giving up smoking and drinking

【3】Which of the following could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?

A．march

B．trick

C．deal

D．sport

【4】Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?

A．Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

B．Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.

C．Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.

D．Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.

27、Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only(要是……就好了)”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.

My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.

I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.

I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.

【1】Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?

A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.

B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.

C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.

D．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.

【2】The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.

A．take up

B．stay away

C．run out of

D．give up

【3】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _______.

A．keep her appointment with the eye doctor

B．meet her father who was already an old man

C．join in the holiday celebration of the company

D．finish her work before the deadline approached

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Peace of Mind

B．The Most Useful Rule

C．The Two Saddest Words

D．The Emotional Well-being

28、Scientists have long said getting a good night’s sleep is important to your health. Now, an American team of scientists reports that too much sleep might be connected with cognitive decline. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine did the sleep study. Their findings were published in the September issue of Brain.

The study examined 100 adults who had been under medical observation for cognitive ability for 3 years. The average age of the study subjects was 65. Every year, they were asked to complete several tests for signs of cognitive decline—the higher the score, the less cognitive decline. They also wore special devices to measure their brain activity during sleep.

The study found that eighty-eight of the group were identified as free of cognitive damage, eleven subjects as very little damaged, and one as a little damaged. And those whose cognitive scores declined slept less than 4.5 hours or more than 6.5 hours per night. But the scores stayed the same for those in the middle of the range. Dr. Brendan Lucey, leading author of the research, said, “Our study suggests that there is a middle range for total sleep time for best cognitive ability. Shorter and longer sleep times were connected with worse cognitive result. ”

Greg Elder, a sleep researcher at Northumbria University, expressed his ideas about the findings. He wrote in The Conversation, “This is low when we consider that older adults are advised to get between seven and eight hours of sleep every night.” He also noted that the research should have taken other information about the subjects studied, including their general health or economic conditions, into consideration.

But Dr. Lucey agreed that each person’s sleep needs are unique. Babies, young children, and teens need even more sleep for their growth and development. And people over 65 should also get more sleep per night. “It suggests that sleep quality may be key, not simply total sleep,’’ Lucey added.

【1】Which side of the study does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?

A．Its background.

B．Its process.

C．Its result.

D．Its preparations.

【2】Which is the best for total sleep time according to the study?

A．4 hours.

B．6 hours.

C．7 hours.

D．9 hours.

【3】What can be inferred from Greg Elder’s words?

A．The findings need to be perfected.

B．Older adults need less sleep every night.

C．The findings agree with common beliefs.

D．The more you sleep, the better your health is.

【4】Which of the followings may Dr. Lucey agree with?

A．One’s sleep styles cannot be changed.

B．Sleep time matters more than sleep quality.

C．The total sleep time increases with age.

D．Sleep needs differ from person to person.

29、   One day I was calculating my household expenses when I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and saw two ragged（衣衫褴褛的） children huddling（蜷缩） together.

“Any old papers, lady?”Asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say“no”until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin lttle sandals（凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.

“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa. ”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. Then she asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”The girl put her cup back in its saucer（茶杯托） carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers. Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food  could supply.

They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.”They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred（搅动） the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup; a roof over our heads, my husband with a good steady job- these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

A.How much money you have had.

B.What job your husband is doing.

C.How you have helped others.

D.How you feel about your life.

【4】Why did the writer leave the muddy prints on the floor?
