 We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.

 His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.

 Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.

According to Shen, it is the kidney(腎臟)which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.

We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.

So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?

This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.

46. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?

A. By studying Western medicine.                     

B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.

C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.

D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.

47. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?

   A. Medical treatment.                                        B. People’s good kidney.

   C. Level of people’s activity.                              D. Positive life attitude.

48. The reason why people become old is that _________.

   A. their bodies produce T-cells

   B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases

   C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair

   D. they become weaker and weaker

49. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.

   A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young

   B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health

   C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body

   D. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is

I admit that we should keep  41  because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your  42  can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43  to make things better.

“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know   46  you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher  47  me to go to the blackboard and  48  what I knew. If I had  49  the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s  50 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I  51  you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as  52  as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know  53  I do can make things better. Everyone is the  54  of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 55  . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been   16  only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the   17  made me quite curious about how   18  this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if   19  with a real midair medical emergency — without access   20  a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So   21  the New England Journal of Medicine last week   22  a study about in-flight medical events, I read it   23  interest.
  The study estimated that there are a(n)   24  of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not   25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints.  26  13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to   27  a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies   28  heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.
  Let’s face it: plane rides are   29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly      30  they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty   31 , but passengers with heart disease   32  experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.   33  common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (綜合癥).   34  happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at      35  one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  21    problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  22  . But what makes bolgging different from writing in a(n)       23   diary?

   The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 24   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of  25   that he does not want to  26   with others.

   It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog  27  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

   I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her  28  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   29  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but  30   in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  31   that my sister might read it.

  The biggest  32   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something  33   about him in my diary, he would never know.  34  , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 35    her blog and get angry.

   There are also  36   to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   37   about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly  38   and tell her how much they 39    her. Blogs help people  40  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
