In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.Well, nows a fine time to get this information. But why didnt they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:Take frequent breaks. It is remended(推荐) that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.32. According to the text, the study in 2010 _.A. discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in womenB. surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting timeC. identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-upD. found men reporting shorter sitting time than women33. What does the underlined word subjects in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Things being discussed. B. Areas of knowledge being learned. C. People being studied. D. Objects being painted.34. We can infer from the text that the author did not remend _.A. using a standing desk B. quitting sedentary jobs C. resting ones muscles D. taking a walk while discussing35. What is the main idea of the text?A. A study on sitting time and physical health was pleted.B. Working out leads to health risks.C. Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.D. Your job could be killing you. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading prehension is no problem. You are municating quite fluently. 36 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening prehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 37The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The Real Player from Real Media., which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 38 Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Keep cool when you do not understand - even if you continue not to understand for a long time. 39Dont concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea. 40This approach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in ones brain which sometimes doesnt allow us to understand anything at all! By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English. A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. B. What should you do? C. Do not translate everything into your native language. D. This situation leads to less - not more - understanding. E. The next step is to findlistening resources. F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation. G. But listening is STILL a problem.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to take part in an exchange study program(交流学习项目）.

Amazing at the tea pots and cups of different shapes, he took some photo of them. Then a young lady came to serve us. She showed us how to make tea but encouraged us to give it a try.
