If you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer live longer. New research shows that sitt
18、ing less than three hours a day might make you live longer by two years. The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. Just the opposite, says Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United Sta
19、tes , he says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives today. We sit while we watch TV .And many of us sit while we re eating, we sit in the car. And many of us sit for many hours at work. Americans report that they sit between four and a half to five hours a day. Mr. Katzmarzyk says you may exercise
20、 often. But, he says even that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. “ We can t throw away physical activity. It s extremely important, but moving is also important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23.5 hours a day is also very important.”
21、He found that cutting television time to less 牛津译林版必修二Unit 3 Amazing people 单元测试 5 / 14 than two hours a day could add 1.4 years to life. Mr. Katzmarzyk and his co-workers are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. This is a relatively new area o
22、f study studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality( 死亡 ) or television viewing and mortality. Making uses of the few studies available to them, they found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to l Change is already co
23、ming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “ standing desk ” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “ treadmill desk. ” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that
24、are part bicycles to keep children moving. Mr. Katzmarzyk says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives. “As a university professor, you know, it is a very sedentary occupation. Were chained to a desk in terms of writing papers and doing research. We reall
25、y try to limit the amount of time we spend doing that.“ If you work in office job, Mr.Katzmarzyk and his team suggest a few simple changes: (1) get up from your desk as often as you can (2) take walks at lunch time (3) instead of emailing colleagues, walk to their offices and talk directly. All thes
26、e activities may help you live longer. 1. Which of the statement is true according to the passage? A. Mr. Katzmarzyk and his team are the first to study how sitting affects length of life B. Standing desks and treadmill desks will replace common desks eventually C. Physical activities weigh as much
27、as enough exercise so as to live longer D. The new research draws a complete opposite conclusion from former studies 2. The underlined word “ ubiquitous “ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_ A. unique B. common C. continuous D. unavoidable B For as long as humans have existed, there ha
28、s been a need to keep in touch with, For as long 牛津译林版必修二Unit 3 Amazing people 单元测试 6 / 14 as humans have existed, there has been a need to keep in touch, to send information between people in different places. Before writing was invented, spoken messages were carried from one person to another and
29、it was not easy to send longer messages. Writing changed the situation, but it was still difficult to make sue that your message got to the right place. The Romans created an organized system of mail delivery, called Cursus Publicus. This was used by the Emperor and officials to send information thr
30、oughout the Empire(帝国 ) Staging posts and a relay system with horses and carriages meant that messages could move quickly, by using many riders instead of one. However, the Romans were not (as many people think) the first to realize this. In 2000 BC the Egyptians used a similar system to keep people
31、 informed about the laws in the country. The Chinese and Persian empires also used systems of horses and riders more than 500 yeah before the Romans. After the Roman postal service disappeared, other systems were created in Europe, but never again as large as the Romans. Rulers of countries or regio
32、ns and even churches created their own official mail network. It was also very important to business between countries that good communication existed. International traders set up many unofficial postal links. There was one such link between V enice and Constantinople in the 14th century. Until the
33、 mid-1600s in Europe, only official messages could be carried by the state networks; everyone else had to we less secure, unofficial networks. However. as more roads were built. unofficial networks became safer, more reliable and very profitable. Realizing they could make money, governments in most
34、countries took control of their own public postal system, making the unofficial networks illegal. A number of countries claim to have invented the idea of stamps-placing a piece of paper on the letter showing that the postage had been paid for. But the first widely-available stamp was the Penny Blac
35、k, introduced in Britain by a man called Rowland Hill in 1840. It was a black stamp with a white picture of the Queens head on it. Hill changed the idea of payment from distance to weight. The year before its introduction, about 75 million letters had been posted in Britain, yet only 10 years later
36、over 340 million letters were sent using stamp. It was a very important invention and completely changed the postal system. To buy a first-edition of this stamp today can cost over 1000. Until the 1870s it was still very expensive to send mail to other countries. The Universal Postal Union was creat
37、ed in 1874 to make sure that “all people in the world have affordable and reliable access to postal services“. It cannot tell countries how much to charge. but it helps countries work together and set reasonable international mail prices. With the creation of airmail, its now cheap and quick to send
38、 letters to most parts of the world. Unfortunately, the growth of new technology (the Internet, emails, fax machines) means 牛津译林版必修二Unit 3 Amazing people 单元测试 7 / 14 that traditional postal services are becoming less popular. Many people now call traditional post “snail mail“. because it does not ha
39、ve the speed of an email or a text message. Remember. though it has been here for over 2000 years, and is still a way of delivering a personal message. 3. Sending longer messages became easier because of . A. the invention of paper B. the invention of writing C. the invention of language D. the need
40、 of communicating 4. According to the passage. Cursus Publicus . A. was the largest mail network in Europe B. was the first mail network in human history C. provided postal service for everyone in Rome D. was 500 year earlier than the similar system in Egypt 5.

42、d the best postal system in the world D. the postage on a letter was decided by how far it traveled 7. What can be Inferred from the last paragraph? A. The airmail system grows rapidly. B. The postal system will become more popular. C. The speed of traditional post will be improved D. The traditiona
43、l postal services remain important in mail delivery. C When I was quite young I sometimes dreamt about a city. It was odd, because the dream 牛津译林版必修二Unit 3 Amazing people 单元测试 8 / 14 began before I even knew what a city was. But I could see this city, by a big bay, with boats on the water and houses
44、 all around. Sometimes I saw silver things flying in the sky. It was a pretty place. Once I asked my sister, Mary, where the city was. She told me that there was no such place. She said that long ago there might have been a city like that, but not now. Then she told me not to talk about the dream to
45、 anyone. Mary did not want me to talk about anything that might make people think I was different from them. Where we lived, people were always looking out for strange things. They even thought it was strange that I was left-handed. So I did not talk about my dream to anyone, and as I got older I di
46、d not have it so often. And I never told anyone that I could talk to my cousin Rosalind without seeing her. I wasnt sure if talking like that was strange. After some time I thought perhaps I was just like everyone else. Until the day I met Sophie. One day I had done off by myself as I often did. I w
47、ent down a cart track from our farm until I came to a high ridge. This ridge was very long, and ran all the way round the land, as far as you could see. I had often gone along the top of it, but I hadnt been down the other side. Somehow the land on the other side seemed strange, like another country
48、. But today I played a game. The rain had worn away some of the bank on the other side and I could push myself down the path made by the rain. I did this twice, rushing down the ridge and landing in the soft sand at the bottom. The third time I landed, a voice said, “ Hello.” 8. The sentence “ It was odd, because the dream began before I even knew what a city was. ” suggests that _. A. the dream began as soon as I fell asleep B. my dream was always the same C.I had not seen a city D. my dream always started in a city 9. David believed that people thought he was strange b
