A
An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from several weeks of intense
action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and was on a train bound for
London. The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an
empty seat.




The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well-dressed middle-aged lady and was
being used by her little dog. The war weary soldier asked,
seat?
You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?



The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the
end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked
，

‘Please,
lady. May I sit there? I 'm very tired.
，
‘You
Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!
anything else; he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and
sat down in the empty seat.




The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her and chastise the
soldier. An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up,
do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong
hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong
bitch out the window.

C
Elderly women who eat foods higher in potassium
（钾）

are less likely to have strokes and die than women
who
eat
less
potassium-rich
foods,
according
to
new
research
in
the
American
Heart
Ass
ociation.
“Previous
studies have shown that potassium consumption may lower blood pressure. But whether potassium intake could
prevent stroke
（中风）

or death wasn’t clear,” said Smoller,
professor of the department of population health at
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY
.
Researchers studied 90,137 women, aged from 50 to 79 for an average 11 years. They looked at how much
potassium the women consumed, as well as if they had strokes, including ischemic strokes
（缺血性中风）
, or
died
during
the
study
period.
Women
in
the
study
were
stroke-free
at
the
start
and
their
average
dietary
potassium intake was 2,611 mg/day. Results of this study are based on potassium from food, not supplements.
The researchers found: Women who ate the most potassium were 12 percent less likely to suffer stroke in
general and 16 percent less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke than women who ate the least. Women who ate
the most potassium were 10 percent less likely to die than those who ate the least. Among women who did not
have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 27 percent lower ischemic stroke risk and 21
percent reduced risk for all stroke types, compared to women who ate the least potassium in their daily diets.
Among
women
with
high
blood
pressure,
those
who
ate
the
most
potassium
had
a
lower
risk
of
death,
but
potassium intake did not lower their stroke risk.

“
Our findings suggest that women need to eat more potassium-rich foods. You won
’
t find high potassium in
junk food. Some foods rich in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans.
”

The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture
recommends
that
women
eat
at
least
4,700
mg
of
potassium
daily.
“Only 2.8 percent of women in our study met or
went beyond this level. The World Health Organ
ization’s daily
potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3,510 mg or more. Still, only 16.6 percent of women we
studied met or went beyond
that,” said Smoller.

While increasing potassium intake is probably a good idea for most elderly women, there are some people who
have too much potassium in their blood, which can be dangerous to the heart. “People should check with their

3
doctor about how much potassium they should eat,” she said.

The study was observational and included only elderly women. Researchers also did not take sodium
（
钠）

intake into consideration, so the potential importance of a balance between sodium and potassium is not among
the findings. Researchers said more studies are needed to determine whether potassium has the same effects on
men and younger people.
29. The benefits of potassium intake to elderly women do not include ______.
A. preventing strokes


B. cutting down death risks


C. lowering blood pressure





D. decreasing heart attacks
30. What conclusion can be drawn from the research findings?


A. Increasing potassium is not a good idea for all elderly women.

B. Elderly women with high blood pressure benefit more from potassium.
C. Potassium intake is more beneficial to those with high blood pressure.
D. There was not any association between potassium intake and ischemic strokes.


31. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. Results of the research were based on potassium from medicine
B. Researchers gave different amounts of potassium to the elderly women

C. It
’
s not yet known how potassium has effects on men and younger people.
D. Elderly women need to keep a balance between sodium and potassium intake

32. The author
’
s purpose for writing this passage is to ______.
A. show the importance of a good life style
B. present information about a chemical element
C. encourage elderly women to take potassium

D. give a report on a new research
D
Item 1:

JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a publishing deal with Little Brown, to release her
first
ever
novel
for
adults.
The
deal
means
that
Rowling’s
long
-standing
relationship
with
Bloomsbury,
the
London-based
publisher
that
launched
the
Harry
Potter
books,
has
come
to
an
end,
at
least
in
terms
of
new
works by the author. Rowling, who is worth an estimated ?
530 million, said that the new novel will be nothing
like the Harry Potter series, which sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She said that with the move
from children’s to adult fiction, a move to a new publisher seemed like a logical step.

Item 2:

Ch
ina’s hurdler Liu Xiang was disqualified Thursday at the Stockholm indoor athletics tournament
due to false start, giving his rival Dayron Robles of Cuba an easy win of 7.66 seconds. Liu was not willing to
explain the reason of his false start, but he told Xinhua that it was not related to his foot injury. Another Cuban
Orlando Ortega followed in 7.68 seconds and Balazs Baji of Hungary stood third in 7.70 seconds. Last Saturday,
Liu won the men’s 60m hurdle final in 7.41 seconds at the Birmingham indoor tou
rnament, setting a new Asian
record. He said Wednesday that he hoped to have an even better performance than he did in Birmingham at the
Stockholm indoor tournament.






Item 3:

Former NBA star and current Bobcats owner Michael Jordan filed suit in a Chinese court against
Qiaodan Sports Company
Limited, a sportswear and footwear manufacturer, for the use of his name without
permission. Jordan says “This complaint is not about money, it’s about principle and protecting my name.” The
Chinese company has re
gistered and uses the name “Qiaodan”. Jordan has been known in China since he gained
widespread popularity in the mid-1980s.

Item
4:

A
commuter
train
crashed
at
a
busy
central
station
in
Buenos
Aires
on
Wednesday,
killing
49
passengers and injuring more than 600 people, the deadliest in a series of train accidents in Argentina over the
past years. The train crashed at about 8:30 a.m. at its final stop at the Once Station, not far from downtown
