With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin to get a sense of who, or what, we really are. After a long run, everything seems right in the world. Everything is at peace. To experience this is a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us ing back, again and again, for more.(1)Why does the author think setting time goals is almost meaningless? those time goals can39。 This will to run is born. In fact, humans may well have evolved (進化) the way we did because of our ability to run. As children, and even adolescents, we can respond to this natural call to run whenever the feeling takes us.s a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield, caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood, is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run. “I don39。Running brings us joy. Watch small children when they are excited, at play, and mostly they can39。 Many runners bee interested in times. They try to break the 40minute barrier for the 10K, or run under four hours for the marathon. Yet, really, these times are almost meaningless. And as soon as they are achieved, another target is thrown out almost immediately. s cheap, and you can do it when you want. All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK. It is hard, it hurts —and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。最后三段提到了在老鼠身上做的實驗,證明生命是可以通過抗老技術延長的,但同時又提到生命是有限度的。根據(jù)第五段中的“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.,可知Rich Miller認為科學家們,只要瘋狂的想法找機會成名,因此選C。文章第四段中 的“People can live much longer than we think.”可知人類能活多長仍是未知數(shù),故選D。s recordholder.

His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers. A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain. The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if mode
