A study has shown that fitness is the key to long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits. Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not, even if they are overweight and smoke.The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, "You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary." Although he adds, " But don't misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary." However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight. The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation's health. But the new study suggests the Government should encourage more people to exercise.

3．It can be inferred from the fourth Para. that _________.A．the new study contradicts the previous researchB．the new study is based on the previous researchC．the new study concludes being overweight is also the cause of death

A．It’s indifferent to the research of last year. B．It has approved of the previous research.C．It is not concerned about the nation’s health.
5．What’s the author’s attitude according to the passage?

PAT the Dog
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.There are many other ‘working dogs’. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. ‘She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.
1．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.B．Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.C．Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.
2．Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________.

3．The first sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________.A．pets can make people become quiet and attentiveB．people feel uncomfortable when they touch and play with a petC．people feel relaxed and hopeful when they touch and play with a pet
4．The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT _________.
A．She helps her get dressedB．She picks up the phone for herC．She gets the newspaper for her
5．The sentence “when I was going to a comma …” means that __________.
A．when I got hungry…B．when I fell down on the floor…C．when I became unconscious…

Health and Eating Habit
Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping fit. Without good health, we can do nothing. For me, there are mainly three ways to keep healthy.
First, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. we had better have more f ruit and vegetables everyday.
Second, it is important to do regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on. Stay away from being overweight.
Third , it is essential to keep high mood. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress.Eat a balanced diet and reject malnutrition.
When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy.Remember, never lose your appetite to lose weight.
