Doctors Say Most Heart Disease Preventable
Heart disease is the number one killer, worldwide, of men and women over the age of 60. But people of all ages die of heart attacks each year. And while death rates have declined in the U.S. and many western European countries, they are on the rise in the developing world. 【小題1】    .
No one would have guessed that Barbara Teng would have a heart attack. She was not overweight. She did not smoke or exercise.“In 2004, the week after I turned 49, when I was on a business trip in Chicago, I had a major heart attack," she said. 【小題2】    . She now exercises daily, and monitors her heart health.
Dr. Patrice Nickens, who is with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, thinks that heart disease is 82 percent preventable. “【小題3】    ,” she said, “Men are also facing the same problem, and the key to staying healthy is knowing your numbers”.
“Your weight, your blood cholesterol, blood sugar and your blood pressure are important numbers that can help you take action and reduce your risk,” she said.
【小題4】    .
“And the steps to take are simple: don’t smoke, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks,” she said.
African-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke; people don't even know they have it, which increases the risk. Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population. 【小題5】    . For example, helping the people monitor their blood pressure. If people realize they are at risk for heart disease, they'll make lifestyle changes: lose weight, exercise, eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctor 

A．A healthy lifestyle can prevent heart disease
B．So we must cure heart disease
C．It is the leading cause of death for women
D．With the right training, they can play an important role in community health
E. And that changed her life
F. Lack of exercise causes heart attacks
G. Yet most heart disease is preventable.


【小題1】G
【小題2】E
【小題3】C
【小題4】A
【小題5】D

解析試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了心臟病的預防方法。
【小題1】根據(jù)第一段中的But people of all ages die of heart attacks each year. And while death rates have declined in the U.S. and many western European countries, 可知，在美國和西歐根據(jù)心臟病的死亡率降低了，表明心臟病是可以預防的。故選G。本句填的是上文的結(jié)論。
【小題2】以前我從不鍛煉，但芝加哥的一次心臟病的發(fā)作，改變了我生活，我現(xiàn)在開始鍛煉。這里E是承上啟下句，即過渡句。
【小題3】根據(jù)后文的Men are also facing the same problem可知，前文說得是女人，前后是對應的。故選C。這里women和men是解題的關鍵詞。
【小題4】根據(jù)后文的And the steps to take are simple: don’t smoke, maintain a healthy weight, exercise,可知，不吸煙，保持健康的體重和鍛煉，都是健康的生活方式。故選A。
【小題5】根據(jù)下文For example, helping the people monitor their blood pressure.可知，這里舉例說明了正確的訓練方法。故選D。

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Talk slowly.
B. Concentrate on the topic.
C. Express your feelings.
D. Notice the details.
E. Use the best words.
F. Introduce something interesting.
 
【小題1】Generally, good talkers don’t rush into a conversation. They take their time when they think about something and when they say it out loud. They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them the center of attention. Try this way of talking and you will create the same effect.
【小題2】People with good conversation skills tend to notice the kind of things that the average person doesn’t notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other person’s hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. Thus, such individuals impress people in a very elegant manner. 
【小題3】It’s very rare to meet a person who is comfortably talking about their emotions and how certain things make them feel, especially with strangers. Yet this way of talking is a real virtue. Don’t just present the facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional level that people connect best.
【小題4】Anyone can talk about the news or express basic opinions. But good talkers can frequently tell you something you didn’t know and that you’ll find interesting and fascinating. This is why it’s good to have knowledge into fields such as psychology or sociology, and bring such knowledge out at the right moments in a conversation.
【小題5】The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise words to convey your feelings or thoughts. Constantly develop your vocabulary and practice communicating as accurately as possible. It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.

Urbanization
Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.     【小題1】_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 【小題2】_  .The process of urbanization--- the migration (遷移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.       【小題3】   .
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.  _【小題4】. Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.       【小題5】_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.

A．That kept cities very small.
B．The rest live in small towns.
C．The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D．Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on．
【小題1】  But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．
1．Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7; 30 a．m．try getting up at 7:00 a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish．【小題2】 
2．Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．
【小題3】 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones．
3．Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration．
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail．【小題4】 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
4． 【小題5】 
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．
When you're working, work．If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．

A．Stay Focused on Your Work
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you have an office door, close it．
D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time．
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．
