Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say.
"It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity (强度) activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effets and is beneficial," said UIf Ekelund, who led the research.
Published in the BMI, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self- reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.
For each study participants were split into four equl-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together t give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often'".
However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time.
Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, sald the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of stting, another factor measured in the study.
"This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a lttle bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said.
8. Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do
A. Lying on the sofa reading.
B. Doing a little gentle gardening.
C. Going out to hike with friends.
D. Playing basketball sometimes.
9. What can we know about the research
A. It lasted about 8 years.
B. The researchers admitted they used fake data.
C. The participants didn’t include younger people.
D. Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the researcher’s conclusion
A. Doubtful.
B. Critical.
C. Supportive.
D. Neutral.
11. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined word “reinforces” in the last paragraph

Watching wooden dolls come to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, but with over twenty years' experience, talented puppeteer(木偶表演者) Peter Roberts has earned himself the title "master puppeteer" because of his great ability to turn
puppets into believable, almost living characters. "People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for living and have little appreciation of puppy as a form of entertainment. But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre," he explains.
Roberts' shows are highly original. "A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling," he says, Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. "Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue." Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.
Roberts' interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, "I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer."
The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, "Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I've made some of my best puppets 'accidentally."
When most people hear the word "puppetry", they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be light-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets come serious messages sometimes." he says.
12. What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph
A. It is a most popular form of entertainment.
B. It cannot give people pleasure any more.
C. It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.
D. Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.
13. In Roberts’ eyes, his puppet shows ___________.
A. Usually attract people full of humor
B. Are most something for old aged audience
C. Display something meaningful for different people
D. Involve hard work and great intelligence
14. Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of ___________.
A. The puppet show books
B. His university major
C. A Christmas gife
D. Some Chinese string puppets
15. What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre
A. It is just a kind of entertainment for kids.
B. It can be educational as well as entertaining.
C. It is only a kind of serious art form.
D. It should be kept light-hearted.
E
Most people who travel to another country to work or study for a significant period of time go through an adjustment period to the new culture. The amount of disorientation (迷惘) one feels in the new situation depends on one's own background and experiences.
Culture shock is the sudden loss of the familiar, which leads to a sense of isolation (孤单) and less self- importance. 16 Later, you may feel that the differences between your home country and those countries you are visiting are huge and frustrating.
The effects of culture shock range from mild uneasiness to acute unhappiness. To reduce such efects, you may follow these tips.
Be prepared. Be aware that it exists and that it will probably affect you in one way or another.
Know yourself. 17 Your responses to situations and people in the new culture will make more sense if you have a clear idea of what is important to you personally.
Be calm and accepting. Understand that this is a learning process and that you will benefit from it.
Be positive. Sometimes with a change of perspective, frustrating circumstances can be humorous and interesting. 18
Set goals and stay busy. Don't sit around being sad and critical. Be adventurous, make plans and try new things.
Avoid isolation. Don't keep yourself separate from people of the same cultural background. Don't complain about your experience. 19 They can offer you good advice and comfort.
20 Hold on to your own personal sense of humor, which will help you deal with possibly frustrating and confusing situations. Often the first sign of recovery from culture shock is the reappearance of one's sense of humor.
A. Keep a sense of humor.
B. Try not to be overly critical.
C. Try to find people who have gone through this experience.
D. Clarify your own values and examine your own assumptions.
E. Sometimes changing to a new culture has an immediate effect.
F. Expect to suffer from culture shock when you return to your home culture.
G. When you first arrive in a new culture, you feel a sense of excitement and expectation.
