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 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.

1. 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 doing research on both Western and Chinese people.

D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.

2.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.

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

A. their bodies are unable to fight diseases

B. their bodies produce T-cells

C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair

D. they become weaker and weaker

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

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

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

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

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

Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave（洞穴）. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be "Who did this?"

This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons.

Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags（雄鹿） and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (兩只角的) animal.

To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird.

Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.

1.The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____.

A. pull the reader into the story

B. make it clear that this is a true story

C. give the reader good directions to find the caves

D. compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people

2.Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____.

A. boys B. tools C. dead men D. animals

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Cave paintings are beautiful.

B. Who found the beautiful cave paintings.

C. The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.

D. Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves.
