found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. the findings, the first in a series of reports from natwest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.university tuition fees (學(xué)費(fèi)) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.in the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. the young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. the teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10.000. average debts for graduates are 12，363.stephen moir, head of community investment at the royal bank of scotland group which owns natwest, said. the more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. they have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. nikki fairweathcr aged 15 from st helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.56. which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?a. students understand personal finances differently.b. university tuition fees in england have been rising.c. teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.d. the students payback ability has become a major issue.57. the phrase to raise the ceiling in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. to raise the student loans b. to improve the school facilitiesc. to increase the upper limit of the tuition d. to lift the school building roofs58. according to stephen moir, students_.a. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesb. should learn to manage their finances wellc. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans d. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance59. what can we learn from the passage?a. many british teenagers do not know money matters wellb. teenagers in britain are heavily burdened with debts.c. financial planning is a required course at college. d. young people should become responsible adults.（b）the high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.in the study, uk researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk. the study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “people should not be discouraged from losing weight,” dr flint said. however, he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.the findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.on average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as n-nitroso compounds(亞硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代謝物) that have been linked to cancer. and when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.exactly what those changes might mean for a persons health is not clear, but flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. in general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per daythough its not known whether thats enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.60what is the best title of the text?aplan a healthy dietbtake

more at risk from strokes (中風(fēng)) , high blood pressure and heart trouble. women who say their role requires them to work very hard with little opportunity to use their creative skills are 40 per cent more likely to develop heart disease or need surgery, american researchers found. they are 88 per cent more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with more relaxed jobs almost double the risk.traditionally doctors have always believed that men under pressure at work are far more likely to fall victim to heart disease. but these latest findings from researchers at harvard medical school in boston show women are just as easily harmed particularly as they often face the added stress of dealing with a family.the study, which was presented to the american heart associations annual conference in chicago, showed that successful women were 43 per cent more likely to need heart surgery. the researchers looked at the records of more than 17,400 women in their 50s and 60s who all provided details on their work stress and job insecurity. those with highly stressful roles, who felt they did -not have the chance to use their creative skills, were most at risk. women who were scared of losing their job were more likely to be overweight, have high blood pressure and raised cholesterol (膽固醇) .the researchers recommend successful women take certain steps to try to protect their health. these include regular exercise, trying not to bring your work home and having a close network of friends and family close by.64. what can be learned from the text?a. women working with creative skills are more likely to develop heart disease.b. women under pressure are more likely to suffer heart trouble than men.c. women with more relaxed jobs are less likely to have a heart attack.d. women succeeding in their work are 40% more likely to need heart surgery.65. according to the researchers, what can be done to protect womens health?a. taking less work and doing regular

attacksb. a recent science reportc. career men less likely to have heart attacksd. bread-winner or bread-baker?(d)nineteen-year-old christopher paolini has always loved adventure books. in fact, he plotted out his first book, eragon, when he was just fifteen! eragon is selling more copies than most of the harry potter books. a reporter from whos news talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best-selling authors of all time! reporter: what inspired you to write eragon?christopher paolini (cp): i love the sense of respect and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie. eragon was an attempt to express that. when i was about twelve, i read a book called jeremy thatcher, dragon hatcher. its about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ends up hatching (孵出). it stuck in my head. eragon was an attempt to see what i could do with the idea myself. reporter: _cp: im definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language, imaginative worlds and a sense of wonderauthors who write about things that other people dont. reporter: what was the hardest thing about writing eragon?cp: probably the editing because i wasnt used to it. it was a kind of shock doing it. but also i was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and punctuation (標(biāo)點(diǎn)) and other things id never paid much attention to before. id say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty. my raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything i learned through the editing process.reporter: how do you avoid becoming annoyed with the writing process? cp: write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise youll never be able to survive a book-length project.reporter: anything else youd like to share with your readers?cp: before i wrote eragon, i spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so i wasnt writing blindly. that helps. its not just an adventure story; it is about eragon trying to work out who we are, why we are here an how we can live honorably.68. what does the underlined word that refer to in the third paragraph?a. a story.b. the sense of respect and wonder.c. an idea. d. a great book or movie.69. what could the reporters second question most probably be?a. whats the most interesting thing about eragon?b. where else do you get your ideas of eragon!c. how has your writing improved after eragon?d. why did you attempt to deal with your ideas in eragon?70. what does paolini find as difficult as writing?a. plotting out the story. b. grammar and commas.c. the editing process. d. the creative use of language.71. what can be inferred from the text?a. christopher is the author of harry potter as well as eragon.b. christopher only writes what he enjoys or what touches him.c. christopher spent an entire month plotting out the entire story.d. christopher really poured his heart and soul into eragon.(e)the great wall of china is one of beijings biggest draws for tourists; despite its fame and ubiquity in postcards across the world, it rarely fails to attract tourists at the first proper sight. yet the authorities open only certain sections of the wall as fit for viewing, and few get to visit the unauthorized sections. fewer still are aware of the existence of at least one part of the wall that remains in almost original condition, nearly 1,500 years after construction of legendary fortification began. but theres a good reason for this its underwater.american journalist steven schwankert has been diving since age 10. it was though his setting up of a diving school that schwankert came to explore some of lesser known areas of chinas lakes and discovered the underwater wall under a reservoir.“the most fascinating piece of diving i ever did in china must be the great wall. i managed to find out about it via the internet. it wasnt difficult to get to pan jiakou in hebei province, near the east qing tomb about 4 hours drive from beijing. why do i want to dive the great wall? why do people want to walk on the great wall? its the same answer.”there are, however, advantages of visiting the great wall in a diving suit over being on foot. the water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other parts of the wall. “unlike the people who walk in the wall, we as divers never need to actually touch it. ive dived twice there, the last time in july. i found that the water then was much deeper than it was befo
