D． We should stand properly to keep our voice youthful. 答案 D [推理判斷題。 ] C As we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles and maintaining a youthful body. But people often don’t realize the voice needs looking after. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals how to keep your voice youthful. Drink more fluid and avoid spicy food You need water for the vocal cords (聲帶 ) to vibrate (振動(dòng) ) well. The body must be kept hydrated enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions， chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate. Rest the throat and talk regularly The vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis (喉炎 ) with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice. Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important. “As older people get less mobile, they can bee socially isolated and speak less.” says Mr. Rubin. “The elderly need to municate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down.” Improve your posture Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we’d better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone. Sing in the shower This is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates(使?jié)櫥?) the voice box. “Singing is gymnastics for the voice.” says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone. 64． Mr. Rubin gives us advice on________.

A． they are easy to look after B． they eat whatever they are given C． they can recognize their owners D． they can play with their owners 答案 C [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 ] B Most people believe that fish only eat and swim. But, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to meet an Oscar fish you probably know better than that. Oscars have bee a popular fish species in recent years since they’re known to recognize their owners. They can have a trusting nature within them, which is seen in some Oscars who will affectionately rub up against their owner’s arm when they perform tank maintenance. Oscars create a bond with their owners, and they are probably going to let you pet them at some point of the relationship. Some will even eat from the owner’s hand. That’s very different behavior than most other fish varieties display. They not only bond with their owners, but they also bond with other fish as well. They even bond with varieties of fish different than its own. They develop strong relationships with one another, and they are impacted by the death of the other. They are easy to take care of because they will eat almost anything and will spit out whatever food they don’t like. They eat crickets and earthworms. They have also been known to eat small kitchen scraps as well. You just have to watch out what other types of fish you put in the tank with your Oscar, since if the fish is small enough, the Oscar will eat it. Oscars have an endearing personality, but they are aggressive fish. Oscars find themselves in a petition of sorts with other fish, and they can easily fight for no apparent reason. It’s hard to predict an Oscar’s temperament， since each of them has a distinct personality. The Oscar is known to grow up to 12—18 inches long, so it requires a large tank. Each Oscar requires about 80—100 gallons of water in the tank, so be prepared to move them to a larger tank as they get can be as sweet as puppies and very affectionate. Get to know your Oscar and its unique personality， and see for yourself how loving it can be. 60． What is the text mainly about? A． The amazing personality of Oscars. B． How to take care of Oscars.
