Culd a daily walk be even better fr ur health than we thught? Several new studies shw that walking nt nly burns fat, but als bsts lngevity(长寿) and has a dramatic anti­ageing effect n the bdy.
In the latest f these findings, due t be published in the jurnal CmmunicatinsBilgy in the next few weeks, Thmas Yates, a prfessr at the University f Leicester, shwed that walkers wh adpt a quick pace can have a bilgical age 15 years yunger than thse wh take their time. Yates and his team lked at the length f telmeres(端粒) f chrmsmes(染色体) in 405，981 middle­aged adults in the UK. As we grw lder, ur telmeres shrten, which results in accelerated cell ageing. “If we can keep them lng fr as lng as pssible, it acts as a buffer against ageing，” says Yates.
Their findings fllw a review and analysis f 15 studies n walking invlving almst 50，000 peple that was published this week. Amanda Paluch at the University f Massachusetts Amhers cnfirmed that daily walking imprves health and lngevity, but mre daily steps are better nly up t a pint. Fr adults under 60, Paluch shwed a daily ttal f 8，000－10，000 steps was best fr reducing risk f early death, while 6，000－8，000 steps was enugh fr the ver­60s.
Walking has als recently been shwn t strengthen the bld flw t the brain. In ne f the largest studies, researchers revealed that 20 minutes f quick walking mst days frm middle age nwards will lwer the risk f dementia(痴呆). Prfessr Edward Zamrini says, “The idea that yu can reduce yur risk fr Alzheimer's disease by simply increasing yur activity is very prmising.”
Even in peple with sme existing age­related memry damage, walking can wrk wnders, as a year­lng study in the JurnalfAlzheimer'sDisease shwed. “Walking is by far the best medicine we have fr a healthy life，” says Yates.
( )28. What did Thmas Yates' study find abut fast walking?
A. It causes a damaging effect n the bdy.
B. It slws dwn the prcess f cell ageing.
C. It increases the number f chrmsmes.
D. It shrtens middle­aged adults' telmeres.
( )29. What des the underlined wrd “buffer” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Smething shrtening telmeres. B. Smething speeding up cell ageing.
C. Smething cunting the walking pace. D. Smething helping prtect frm harm.
( )30. What did Amanda Paluch cnsider when ding research?
A. Bdy shape. B. Age grup. C. Occupatin type. D. Sample size.
( )31. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw daily walking helps burn fat
B. Why walking is the best midlife exercise
C. Hw many daily steps are better fr adults
D. Whether walking reduces the risk f dementia

In the frest, trees ften give each ther space t reach fr the sky, a habit that humans can learn frm when it cmes t setting persnal bundaries.
Next time yu g fr a walk in a frest r wdland, take a mment t lk abve yu. Yu might find that the crwn(树冠)resembles a breathtaking umbrella with channel­like gaps between the tps f the trees. This phenmenn has been dcumented wrldwide since the 1920s, and is called “crwn shyness”. It happens when trees appear t give each ther space.
Even when trees grw clse tgether, they shw a mutual(相互的) respect and ffer benefits. This is true in the case f “married” trees—where a tree intertwines(缠绕)with ne resistant t disease, it shares the advantages f its friend. Maintaining healthy bundaries help trees t maintain gd health, manage resurces and prtect the frest as a whle.
When humans fail t respect bundaries, the emtinal and physical resurces f individuals and the cmmunity can be affected. In this sense, a bundary is a cnceptual brder. It helps t establish where yu end and ther peple begin. It means taking respnsibility fr nly yur wn emtins and actins, nt ther peple's. Yu culd think f yur bundaries as a mat(护城河) arund yur castle, cmplete with a drawbridge that can be lwered r raised. As the gatekeeper f yur castle, yu decide wh and what cmes in and when.
Of curse, marking ut bundaries takes time, and sme peple might be unhappy abut any changes yu make. Establishing a clear line between yu and the rest f the wrld, hwever, is essential fr building the self­wrth and self­care needed t functin at yur best in relatinships.
( )32. What is “crwn shyness”？
A. A crwn with channel­like gaps.
B. A frest with umbrella­shaped crwns.
C. A behavir that trees give each ther space.
D. A phenmenn that trees cmpete fr space.
( )33. Hw des the authr develp Paragraph 3?
A. By telling a stry. B. By giving an example.
C. By defining a cncept. D. By making a cmparisn.
( )34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The effects f ignring bundaries.
B. The meaning f taking respnsibilities.
C. The imprtance f setting persnal bundaries.
D. The methds f managing individual resurces.
( )35. What is the authr's attitude t marking ut a bundary?

In 2013, digital media cnsultant Baratunde Thurstn launched an experiment. He decided t discnnect frm his nline life fr twenty­five days: n Facebk, n Twitter, nt even e­mail. He needed the break. __36__
It didn't take him lng t adjust t a discnnected life. By the end f that first week, he was less stressed abut nt knwing new things. __37__ He enjyed fd withut Twittering the experience. But the end came t sn. After the twenty­five days, he had t restre his nline presence.
His experiment summarizes tw imprtant pints abut ur relatinship with scial netwrks like Facebk and Twitter. The first pint is that we increasingly recgnize that these tls fragment(碎裂) ur time and reduce ur ability t cncentrate. __38__ But the prblem is especially serius if yu're attempting t imprve yur ability t wrk deeply.
T fight back against these distractins, Thurstn felt his nly ptin was t quit the Internet altgether. But the prblem is that n ne is meant t actually fllw Thurstn's lead. __39__ That is t accept ur current distracted state as unavidable. This brings me t the secnd pint summarized by Thurstn's stry: it didn't take him lng nce the experiment ended t slide back int the fragmented state where he began.
This rule prpses a third ptin: accepting that these tls might be vital t yur success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that mst peple shuld be using fewer such tls. I wn't ask yu, in ther wrds, t quit the Internet altgether like Thurstn did. __40__ There is a middle grund, and if yu're t develp a deep wrk habit, yu must fight t get there.
A. He struck up cnversatins with strangers.
B. It is a real prblem fr many different peple.
C. “I was burnt ut, fried, and dne，” he explained.
D. This reality accunts fr the remaining alternative.
E. He had t return t the nline wrld with bks t market.
F. But I'll ask yu t reject the state f highly distracted cnnectedness.
G. Frtunately, yu will break the habit f surfing the Internet gradually.

Fr my fifth­grade science fair prject, I gt six chicken eggs in an incubatr(孵化器).
“But I dn't knw anything abut hatching an egg.”

My father came with a cardbard tube and a flashlight. He taped the tw tgether s that the light beam was frced straight ut the tube. “I will shw yu hw t candle the eggs，” he said, then switched ff the light and held an egg up t the cardbard tube. “The light lets yu see thrugh the shell s yu can watch the embry(胚胎) develp. Lk, see the dark spt here？”
“Is that an embry？”
“That's it！”
Suddenly it felt real. The eggs were alive! Surely they had t live!
Fr the next three weeks, I was cmpletely cnsumed with the grwing f chicks. I labeled the eggs A, B, C, D, E and F, but befre lng they had names, t: Abby, Bnnie, Clyde, Dexter, Eunice and Flrence. Every day I weighed them, candled them, turned them. I drew diagrams f varius stages f an embry's develpment. I dcumented the daily changes and weight lss f each egg.

Dear Diary, tday is my first day f recrding yu. My teacher recmmended I make an audi diary every day, because it will help clear my thughts, rganize my gals, and make me a better speaker. I dn't knw what my gals are yet. I d want t be a better speaker, thugh. That sunds nice. My best friend als has an audi diary, but she never lets me hear it. I wuld lve t knw what she has said, but she tells me it's a secret. I dn't knw yet if I will keep yu secret t. She's very smart and her tape recrder is small and red. That's why yu're als red. I'm lucky t be in her grup fr the class prject, even thugh she is kind f lazy. But her brain makes up fr it and I'm sure we'll win Best Prject in class. I have t get up early, s I shuld prbably finish fr tday. Als, I'm nt sure what else t say. I'll speak t yu again this time tmrrw, r maybe in the mrning if I have any interesting dreams. If anything happens at schl, I will make a recrding arund lunch. Gdbye fr nw.
