24、任务型阅读

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.

25、   Having a part-time job is an important part of growing up for American teenagers. They can learn some important skills by doing a part-time job. They can also make some money in this way. Many teenagers believe that making their own money makes them feel free and proud.

American teenagers can do part-time jobs at the age of 14. During the school year, teenagers may go to work a few hours a week after school, and they usually work for longer at weekends.

In summer, American teenagers are glad if they find part-time jobs at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These jobs can bring them much fun.

Some of the most stressful (压力大的) jobs are teaching, nursing, and police work. But these jobs can be useful for their future. When they grow up, the students with work experience are more likely to succeed than those without work experience.

A favorite job for many teenagers is taking care of babies, and they can start before the age of 14. What they only do is to stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay. At the same time, they can do their homework, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.

27、Did you know that you could expect to live almost 20 years longer today than someone who was born 100 years ago?

Thanks to the development of science, life expectancy (预期寿命) in most countries has been increasing（增加，增长） for ten years. But researchers believe we have finally reached our biological limit (生理极限).

A report in the magazine Nature says it is almost impossible our life expectancy will increase again. The oldest person to ever live was a French woman Jeanne Calment, who was 122 when she died in 1997. The report says she will probably remain the oldest, because it is almost impossible that anyone will live over 115. The “absolute maximum age (绝对最大年龄)” may be 125, according to the report, but it is not very possible that anyone could actually live that long.

Jan Vijg at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York led the research. His team studied the age of people who had died in America, Britain, France and Japan. They found that the age of the oldest people dying had increased regularly between the 1960s and 1990s. But beginning in the 1990s, “you no longer see that,” Vijg told NPR. “You see that it stays the same.”

Of course, many scientists and companies are still trying to find ways to increase our lifespan (寿命) over 125. But there is one simple way to make sure you live a healthy and long life. “Stop smoking, start exercising and eat healthily,” Professor Dame Linda Partridge, told CNN. “What will be will be. It’s only a question of when.”

【1】What did researchers find?

A. The oldest age is increasing year by year.

B. People who were born 100 years ago usually live longer.

C. People now are not stronger than those born 100 years ago.

D. It’s almost impossible that human’s life expectancy will increase.

【2】The oldest person to ever live _____.

A. came from the US   B. was a man

C. was 122 years old   D. died 20 years ago

【3】According to the report, people may not live longer than _____ years old.

A. 115   B. 120   C. 122   D. 125

【4】Which of the following is true according to the article?

A. The research studied people from different countries.

B. The oldest age stayed the same from the 1960s to the 1990s.

C. With the development of science, people will live longer and longer.

D. If we live in a healthy way, we will definitely have a chance to live over 125.

【5】Professor Dame Linda Partridge suggests all of the following ways to live a long life EXCEPT _____.

A. stopping smoking   B. taking special medicine

C. exercising regularly   D. eating healthy food
