A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have revealed. Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the aging process and protect against heart disease, according to the study. Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA. As people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses. But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier. The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole. Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: "These results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D. "This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer." He said further studies are required to confirm the findings. Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: "Although it might sound absurd, it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process." Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals. Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease. 1.The passage mentions all of the items listed below except_______. A. The findings haven’t been confirmed entirely. B. People become easily infected with some illnesses when they get older. C. Vitamin D obtained through fish, eggs and breakfast cereals accounts for 10 percent of the body’s supply. D. The discovery could help explain how vitamin D has a positive effect on cancer. 2.The phrase “demonstrate for” in the 7th paragraph probably means________. A. claim B. prove C. think D. provide 3.It can be inferred that________. A. Women with high levels of vitamin D have shorter telomeres. B. Studies have confirmed the findings. C. Sunshine may be a cause of the risk of skin cancer. D. If someone has heart disease, sunshine may help him to relieve the disease. 4.The main idea of the passage is that_________. A. Vitamin D can help protect against cancer and heart disease. B. sunshine helps keep you young. C. what effect vitamin D has on human’s body. D. high levels of vitamin D make people keep young.

TOEFL seats to increase by 80% Eighty percent more Chinese students can take the Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) through the Internet at the end of this year, the US Educational Testing Service (ETS) has said. Net-based test seats will increase from 1,950 in June to 3,550 at the end of the year, an ETS press release said on Tuesday. The ETS and China's National Education Examinations Authority worked jointly on their network to meet the increased demand for TOEFL in China. Advanced technological solutions will be implemented by the ETS to monitor the TOEFL registration website to ensure an open and fair test registration process, according to the ETS. More than 6,000 colleges and universities in 110 countries accept TOEFL scores. The number of students who want to take the test on the mainland has grown steadily in recent years, with the average staying above 70,000 a year. "The ETS is committed to ensuring that everyone in China who wishes to take the test gets the chance to do so," ETS's global division senior vice-president Paul Ramsey said. Some Chinese students see the announcement as an encouragement. "It used to be very hard to get a chance to sit for the test, and I had to ask my friends to help take online registration on other computers," said Chen Lu, a second-year postgraduate student of Renmin University of China who took the test a few months ago to apply for doctoral studies in the US. But some say the increase is still not big enough. "More and more students are preparing for TOEFL to get a chance to study abroad or to prove their ability. So I still see a gap between supply and demand," said Wu Qi, a final year undergraduate in Peking University. (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn 2007-11) 1.Which of the following statements is right according to the article?_______ A. The gap between supply and demand of the TOEFL seats in China has been bridged. B. The ETC said it had implemented advanced technology to serve TOEFL. C. Some students have been encouraged by an announcement made by TOEFL. D. If you are preparing for TOEFL, you may soon ask your friends to help take online registration on other computers at the same time. 2.From the last paragraph we know that________. A. More students having passed TOEFL are needed in China. B. TOEFL shouldn’t take in so many participants. C. More students want to go abroad by passing TOEFL. D. It’s hard to pass TOEFL. 3.We can infer from the passage that________. A. Not every student wants to join in the TOEFL. B. Any student taking TOEFL will pass it. C. More students will prepare for TOEFL next year. D. Passing TOEFL will ensure you success. 4.What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________ A. TOEFL seats will increase exactly by 80% in China. B. TOEFL seats will increase in China. C. Different opinions about the increase of TOEFL seats in China. D. The hard work made by America and China to increase TOEFL seats.

If you exhibit positive traits such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be perceived as a good looking person, for a new study has found that the perception of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality. The study, led by Gary W. Lewandowski, Jr, found that people who exhibit negative traits, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information on personality traits. After personality information was received, participants also rated the desirability of each individual as a friend and as a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly alter perceived desirability, showing that cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness. "Perceiving a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski. The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater desirability as a friend, which leads to greater desirability as a romantic partner and, ultimately, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was initially perceived to be, or of the participants' current relationship status or commitment level with a partner. "This research provides a more positive alternative by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good looking you are," said Lewandowski. 1.Which of the following is a negative personal trait? ______ A. Good luck B. Honesty C. Rudeness D. Helpfulness 2.It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. An ugly person has only bad personal traits. B. If you want to be physically attractive, you should have good personal traits. C. Physically attractive people have good personal traits. D. Good-looking people attract others. 3.The author seems to be in favor of the idea that ________. A. People should leave a good impression. B. Pretending to be honest and fair leads to people’s attractiveness. C. A person with a positive personality tends to be a friend of others but never to be a romantic partner. D. People should keep positive traits to be attractive. 4.The main idea of the article is _______. A. Honesty can make you attractive. B. Helpfulness can make you attractive. C. Personality affects your attractiveness. D. Unfairness can make you less attractive.
