sleeping
people who sleep for more than eight hours a night do not live as long as those who sleep
for six hours，according to the biggest study yet into sleep patterns and mortality(死亡率)．
scientists have no explanation for the findings and do not know if they mean people who
like a lie．in(睡懒觉)can extend their lives by sleeping less． ．
although it is a common belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for
health and well—being．the six．year study involving more than 1．1 million americans older than
30 found that those who slept for 1ess than eight hours were far from doing themselves any
long—term harm。
“individuals who now average 6．5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured that this is a safe
amount of sleep．from a health standpoint。there is no reason to sleep longer,” said daniel
kripke ，a professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at the university of california，san diego．
dr．kripke said．“we don’t know if long sleep periods lead to death．additional studies are
needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health．”
the scientists．who were funded by the american cancer society，found也at the best
survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night．those who
slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during t11e six—year period of the study,
when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account．
even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept
eight or more hours．however, an increasing death rate was found among those who slept for
less than five hours．
dr．kripke said．“previous sleep studies have indicated that both short-and long-duration
(持续时间)sleep had higher mortality rates．however, none of those studies were large enough
to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a night，until flow．”
16 more than 1’1 million americans participated in the six-year study．
a right b wrong c not mentioned
17 all the participants were from the state of california．
a right b wrong c not mentioned
18 the study shows that the longer you sleep each night，the longer you’11 live．
a right b wrong c not mentioned
19 the findings indicate that it is all right to sleep for 6.5 hours a night．
a right b wrong c not mentioned
20 most of the participants slept for 7 hours a night during the study．
a right b wrong c not mentioned
sleeping for less than 5 hours each night is better than sleeping for 5 hours·
a right b wrong c not mentioned
22 the study was the first to tell the difference between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night·
a right b wrong c not mentioned

ford
1 ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process-not invention. long before he started
a car company，he was a worker，known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning
men into machines．he started putting cars together in 1891．although it was by no means the
first popular automobile，the model t showed the world just how creative ford was at
combining technology and market．
2 the company’s assembly line alone threw america’s industrial revolution into overdrive
(高速运转)．instead of having workers put together the entire car ,ford’s friends，who were great
toolmakers from scotland，organized teams that added parts to each model t as it moved down a
line．by the time ford’s highland park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响)along in 1914. the
world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes．
3 the same year henry ford shocked the world with the$5.a．day minimum wage scheme．
the greatest contribution he had ever made．the average wage in the auto industry then was
$2.34 for a 9-hour shift．ford not only doubled that，he also took an hour off the workday．in
those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that
didn’t involve an awful lot of training or education．the wall street journal called the plan“an
economic crime”，and critics everywhere laughed at ford．
4 but as the wage increased later to daily$10，it proved a critical component of ford’s dream
to make the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11. the critics were too stupid to understand that
because ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn’t matter---except for making it
possible for more people to buy cars．
23 paragraph 1
24 paragraph 2
25 paragraph 3
26 paragraph4
a ford’s followers
b the assesmbly line
c ford’s great drem
d the establishment of the company
e ford’s biggest contribution
f ford’s great talent
27 the assembly line made it possible to
28 ford was the first to adopt
29 higher wages enabled many people to
30 ford’s higher—wage and lower—cost strategy was strongly
a criticized by the media
b the low wage in the auto industry
c own a car
d produce cars in large numbers

global cancer rates to rise by 50％by 2020
the number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
2020．but a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided by
adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action．
the world cancer report，released by the intemational agency for research on cancer,
shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as
well as rich ones．
overall，cancer was responsible for 12％of all deaths in 2000．but in many countries more
than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer．
the report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000。and that
number is expected to rise to 1 5 million by 2020．researchers say most of that increase will
mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits．
“cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the first
time，matching its effect in industrialized(工业化的)countries，”said researcher paul kleihues。
md，director of iarc，in a news release．“once considered a‘western’disease．the report
highlights that more than 50 percent of the world’s cancer burden，in terms of both numbers of
cases and deaths，already occurs in developing countries．”
