24、Have you ever wondered why some people live long, but others don’t? Many scientists have studied the mysteries of a long life for years.

Thousands of studies support the idea that a long life is influenced by two major things.

Genetics（遗传） is a major influence. Some people’s bodies simply have special advantages. They have parents and grandparents who lived long lives. Their parents have passed on these positive genes to them. Howard Friedman is a health scientist. He wrote a book about living a long life. He says genetics explains about 1/3 of why people live to an old age.

The other major influence is basic health care. Good food, clean water and medical care all help a lot.

However, recently, scientists have found the way a person thinks about life can influence how long that person lives!

Many studies show that having a sense of purpose is important. For example, in Okinawa, Japan, plenty of people are over the age of 100.They have an idea called ikigai or life purpose. Scientists believe it’s one of the reasons why Okinawa has so many long﹣lived people.

Staying active is the second important personal quality. It’s not the same as doing difficult exercise. Instead, it’s the most important to remain active in a natural way, doing something you enjoy.

Another quality is helping people.Feeling loved makes people feel good. However, loving and caring for others makes people live longer.

The final one is conscientiousness（尽责）.Conscientious people are responsible. They plan for things and think about details. Some people believe being conscientious means living a boring life. However, the opposite is true.

People cannot change their genes. And it’s difficult to improve a whole community’s health care system. However, the new research results show there are things each of us can do to help improve how long we live.

【1】Why does the writer mention Howard Friedman in Paragraph 3?

A．To introduce a really great health scientist to us.

B．To encourage us to read his book about living a long life.

C．To describe how parents pass on positive genes to children.

D．To show genetics influences how long a person lives greatly.

【2】According to the passage, people can live longer by _______.

a. being active b. feeling loved c. being conscientious d. giving others a hand

e. having their life purpose

A．acde

B．abce

C．abcde

D．abde

【3】What do the underlined words “the opposite” mean?

A．Being conscientious means leading a long life.

B．Conscientious people usually prepare for everything well.

C．Conscientious people have an exciting and interesting life.

D．Conscientiousness is the most necessary quality for living a long life.

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．The meaning of life.

B．The keys to a long life.

27、Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well， obviously it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.

Put simply， the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something， our brains model after it， whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile， talk， walk， dance or play sports. But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example： “The hand took hold of the ball”)， the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example， actually taking hold of a ball).

Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However， it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave， communicate and spend time together. Indeed， it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well， perhaps you’ll understand why.

【1】【1】Mirror neurons can explain ______.

A. why we cry when we are hurt

B. why we cough when we catch a cold

C. why we smile when we see someone else smile

D. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late

【2】【2】The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

A. set off   B. cut off

C. broken out   D. found out

【3】【3】We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.

A. relate to human behavior and communication

B. decide our knowledge and language abilities

C. result in bad behavior and social disorders

D. control human actions and appearances

【4】【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Ways to find mirror neurons.

B. Problems of mirror neurons.

C. Discovery of mirror neurons.

D. Functions of mirror neurons.
