Residents in the poorest counties in the U.S. face a life expectancy up to decade shorter than their counterparts in the wealthiest areas, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health.

Researchers from East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand how socioeconomic status was associated with heath outcomes. They divided the country’s 3, 141 counties into 50 new “states"(with 2 percent of the counties in each)based on household income as opposed to geographic proximity(接近).

The researchers broke down the data by county since they found state-level data may hide some"impact of socioeconomic differences on both the best-off and worst-off counties. " They then examined health data from the wealthiest and poor "states"(top and bottom 2 percent)to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care and excessive drinking. Researchers found that there was nearly a 10-year gap in the life expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties compared to 69.8 years in the poorest. For women, the difference was slightly less -83 years in the wealthiest counties and 76 years in the poorest.

The study authors caution that while they found a connection between socioeconomic status and health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect. But they suggest that the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state-wide initiatives (主动性)but more targeted efforts to help those most at risk. “With limited resources, methods of pinpointing the poorest countries can assist in the allocation of resources and programs to those communities that are in the greatest need. "the study authors wrote.

32. How did Researchers divide the counties?

A. By social status.

B. By income.

C.By health.

D. By living places

A. The women’s difference is less than the man in life expectancy.

B. The wealthiest"state"like hiding their wealth.

C. Most health data is unbelievable.

D. Most poorest"states"smoke and drink a lot

34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The researchers think their study is perfect.

B. People still don't know the cause of life expectancy.

C. The government should learn something from the study.

D. The American resources allocation is not fair at all.

35. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Ways lo have a long life expectancy.

B. Great income differences in the USA.

C. The health problem in the USA.

D. Men in richest I0 years longer in poorest.

第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,两分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选中选出能填入空白处的最作选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

We all want to be better at something.After all, self-improvement is necessary to getting ahead at work. Here are some general rules you can follow.

* Check your readiness

When working on a new skill or competency, you need to ask yourself two things.

36 "There are certain limits to what you can learn,”expla ins Weintraub. “For example,you may want to be a brain surgeon, but not have the eye-hand coordination required. "Second, how much time and energy can you give to the project? Self-improvement is hard work. Halvorson says:“Many people implicitly believe that if you have to work hard at something, it means you lack ability. This is rubbish." 37 Unless your goal is reachable and you're prepared to work hard, you won’t get very far.

*Know how you learn best

Some learn best by looking at graphics or reading. Others would rather watch demonstrations or listen to things being explained. 38 . Halvorson says you can figure out your ideal learning style by looking back. “Re flect on some of your past learning experiences, and make a list of good ones and another list of bad ones. What do they have in common? Identifying common strands can help you determine the learning environment that works best for you, "she says.

*_39___________

One of the quickest ways to lean something new, and to practice it is to teach others how to do it.So share what you learn with your team, your manager, or your co-workers. You can force yourself to do it by putting a"teaching” date on your calendar or agreeing to lead a formal training session a few months down the road. With objectives like those, your learning will be much more focused and practical.

*Start small

40 “You can't take on everything. If you do, you'll never do it. "says Weintraub. Instead, choose one or two skills to focus on at a time, and break that skill down into manageable goals.

A. First, is your goal reachable?

B. Challenge to teach it to others.

C. Firstly, do you have a clear goal?

D. Self-improvement can feel stressful.

E. Self-improvement is too hard to realize.

F. Still others need a “hands-on'"experience.

G. Instead, recognize that learning a new skill takes extreme commitment.
