    Don’t run less hard. Don’t run less often. Don’t run less distance. And don’t be persuaded by under powered medical studies — a habit that really could harm your health.
    I say this in response to a recent study suggesting that too much strenuous jogging shortens your life. The conclusions, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, have received wide attention this week.
Let’s start by taking a closer look at what the study actually says. The researchers asked Danish runners about the speed, frequency and duration of their workouts, categorizing 878 of them as light, moderate or strenuous joggers. Ten years later, the researchers checked government records to see how many of them had died.
    Happily, only 17 had. While this was good news for the surviving runners, it was bad news for the researchers, because 17 was clearly too few deaths to discern whether the risk of death was related to running intensity. Nonetheless, the study claimed that too much jogging was associated with a higher mortality rate. It is based on 40 people who were categorized as “strenuous joggers〞 — among whom only two died. As Alex Hutchinson of Runner’s World wrote, “Thank goodness a third person didn’t die, or public health authorities would be banning jogging.〞 Moreover, the researchers do not even report whether those two deaths were from causes that could plausibly be related to running.
    Indeed, none of the comparisons between those who run a lot versus a little, frequently versus infrequently, or fast versus slow, were statistically significant, even after adjusting for potential factors like age, gender, education, diabetes, smoking and drinking.
    The researchers acknowledge this lack of significance, but confounded the issue by pointing to a different question. Instead of focusing on the differences between light, moderate and heavy joggers, they ask instead whether each group of runners had a lower death rate than an altogether different group, a separate sample of 413 non-runners. There is even less to these findings than meets the eye, as the researchers did not compare runners with non-runners.
    Just as important, other evidence suggests that running, like other forms of exercise, benefits health. There may be an amount of running so great as to damage health, but, if so, it’s probably far greater than four hours per week. Mr. Hutchinson, a physicist-turned-writer, has concluded, “Running an hour a day is certainly no less healthy, and probably a bit healthier, than running less.〞 Armed with that more accurate assessment of the science, I hope to see you on the running trails.
21. What is the structure of this passage?
  a. organize opposite findings and confirm the idea
  b. put forward the author’s suggesting idea
  c. gather facts to analyze the experiment
  d. reveal the result of the recent medical study
  A. b d c a          B. b a c d          C. d c b a          D. d b c a
22. According to the passage, the following can prove the recent study unconvincing EXCEPT___?
  A. The study didn’t explain the exact cause of two deaths among strenuous joggers.
  B. The American College of Cardiology isn’t the authority in medical study.
  C. There are no comparisons for controlled factors and potential factors.
  D. The study excluded the differences between runners and non-runners.
23. What does the author really try to express?
  A. People are easy to believe what they want to hear.
  B. Mortality rate was highest among those running most.
C. People should get a sense of what we are learning.
  D. Running is a habit good for people’s health.

What is great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides?
These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability.
Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the "real" painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called "real" painters are now barely remembered.
So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today.
Critics often don’t recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art.
But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内在的) beautiful.
Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure.
24. The author used the first paragraph to__________.
A. arouse readers’ curiosity and serve as a leading
B. introduce some real painters to the readers
C. raise the questions the writer wants to answer
D. explain what kind of art will become popular
25. The author used the examples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to show________.
A. these masters’ works have some shortcomings and merits
B. these masters wouldn’t have been so successful without the critics
C. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created
D. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive
26. According to the passage, great works _______.
A. may be presented in different forms
B. are usually thought highly of by critics
C. are thought valuable because of their sale price
D. will become valueless if they’re not accepted

Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old peoples home She was sitting in the living room with about 15 other residents, mostly women, half of them asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures, and the care assistants were kind and cheerful. A general knowledge quiz show was on the television and the only other sounds were snoring and embarrassing digestive noises. People moved only when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. Gran talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren, but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there and, to be perfectly honest I couldn’t wait to get away myself.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young in an increasing number of countries. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no c
ontact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. it's a major problem in many societies.
That's why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention. There are schemes that involve older people visiting families who are children for a while to give the tired mother a break. Or adopt a grandparent schemes in which children write letters or visit a lonely old person in their area. There are even holiday companies that specialize in holidays for children and grandparents together.
One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law. Lasting friendships often develop.
    But it isn't only the individuals concerned who gain from intergenerational activities. The advantages to society are enormous too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of the today, and vice versa, there will be less conflict in a community. In a world where  the number of old people is increasing, we need as much understanding and tolerance as possible. Modern Western society has isolated people into age groups and now we need to rediscover what  ‘community’ really means. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be such a depressing prospect after all.
