       Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly．Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be   36  for your health．And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it   37   ．

       Research is preliminary, but several studies   38  people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die．

       In an editorial   39  this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define   40  activity to highlight the dangers of sitting．

       While health officials have issued guidelines   41  minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated   42  ．

       "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send   43  signals," Ekblom-Bak said．She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the   44  start to shut down．

       Even for people who   45   , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —   46  still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,    47  in a single bout．

       That wasn't   48  news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting    49   a computer．Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art  50  wrestling, and also does Thai boxing．

       "I'm sure there are some detrimental   51  of staying still for too long, but I hope that being   52  when I can helps," he said．"I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be   53  dangerous．"

       Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat   54  had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised．

       Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．

       Experts said more research is needed to    55  just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects．

36．A．bad         B．good        C．mean               D．dead

37．A．does            B．occurs      C．matches            D．dies

Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan (麥哲倫). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峽). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律賓), men were dying of starvation (饑餓). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

Many cities in the world are benefiting from the nocturnal (夜間活動的) activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游擊隊的) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades and a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.

In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploits (開發(fā)) of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion.

Not only do the guerrilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesn’t look dismal (凄涼的) in the winter months.

The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty concrete pots, placed by the local governments to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block.

He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢復(fù)活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is also a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.

1. According to the text, guerrilla gardeners got their names ______.

   A. because of the residents’ advice                     B. from the local governments

   A. To look after these plants.                            B. To enjoy these beautiful flowers.

   C. To help plants live through winter months.     D. To change the types of these plants.

4. Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants with the purpose of ______.

   A. making the neighborhood more beautiful       B. agreeing with his own job

   C. advertising some products in his agency         D. killing his spare time

   A. are mainly from the United Kingdom

   B. will later get well paid
