Azeri Hills Hold Secret of Long Life

You can see for kilometers from the mountains where Allahverdi Ibadov herds his small flock of sheep amid a sea of yellow,red,and purple wildflowers.The view from Amburdere in southern Azerbaijan toward the Iranian border is spectacular,but Mr.Ibadov barely gives it a second glance.

Why should he?He’s been coming here nearly every day for100years.

According to his carefully preserved passport,Mr.Ibadov,whose birth was not registered until he was a toddler,is at least105years old.His wife,who died two years ago,was even older.They are among the dozens of people in this beautiful,isolated region who live extraordinarily long lives.

Mr.Ibadov’s eldest son has just turned70.He lost count long ago of how many grandchildren he has.1“I’m an old man now I look after the sheep,and I prepare the wood for winter.I still have something to do.“

A lifetime of toil,it seems,takes very few people to an early grave in this region.Scientists admit there appears to be something in the Azeri mountains that gives local people a longer,healthier life than most.

Miri Ismailov’s family in the tiny village of Tatoni are convinced that they know what it is.Mr.Ismailov is110,his great-great-grandson is four.They share one proud boast:Neither has been to a doctor.“There are hundreds of herbs on the mountain,and we use them all in our cooking and for medicines”;explained Mr. Ismailov’s daughter,Elmira.“We know exactly what they can do.We are our own doctors.，’

There is one herb for high blood pressure，another for kidney stones，and a

third for a hacking cough.They are carefully collected from the slopes surrounding the village.Experts from the Azerbaijan Academy of Science believe the herbs may be part of the answer.They have been studying longevity in this region for years.It began as a rare joint Soviet-American project in the1980s，but these studies are not being funded any more.

Azeri scientists have isolated a type of saffron unique to the southern mountains as one thing that seems to increase longevity.Another plant,made into a paste,dramatically increases the amount of milk that animals are able to produce.“Now we have to examine these plants clinically to find out which substances have this effect,”said Chingiz Gassimov,a scientist at the academy.

The theory that local people have also developed a genetic predisposition to long life has been strengthened by the study of a group of Russian emigres whose ancestors were exiled to the Caucasus200years ago.2The Russians’life span is much shorter than that of the indigenous mountain folk—though it is appreciably longer than that of their ancestors left behind in the Russian heartland.

“Over the decades，I believe local conditions have begun to have a positive effect on the new arrivals”,Professor Gassimov said.“It’s been slowly transferred down the generations.”

But Mr.Ismailov,gripping his stout wooden cane,has been around for too long to get overexcited.“There’s no secret,”he shrugged dismissively.“I look after the cattle and I eat well.Life goes on.”

答案与题解：

1．A从第一段的第二句前半句The view from Amburdere in southern Azerbaijan toward the Iranian border is spectacular中的Amburdere in southern Azerbaijan可以看出，Amburdere在Azerbaijan的南部。

2．A通过第三段的第一句中的Mr.Ibadov,whose birth was not registered until he was a toddler以及at least105years old可以断定，连他自己也不知道他的确切年龄。

3．B从第四段的Mr.Ibadov自己的叙述：“I’m an old man now I look after the sheep,and I prepare the wood for winter.I still have something to do.”可以看出，Ibadov仍旧在劳作。

4．B第六段讲的是Miri Ismailov一家人都住在一个小山村里，他110岁，他的玄孙4岁，他们有同一个引以为豪的事：都没有看过医生。本句说Ismailov没有看过医生，而他的玄孙看过医生。

5．C句的意思是：这个地区的人们生活无忧无虑且富足。本文虽然提到这个地区的人们身体健康且长寿，但没有提及他们的生活情况。

6．B第六段和第七段虽然讲我们是我们自己的医生，这是一个比喻，意思是我们不用医生，我们吃的东西（山上的植物）具有保健作用。所以Elmira的职业不是医生。

7．A本句的意思是：科学家们认为，基因可能影响人们的寿命。第九段的第一句所表达的意思与本句相符：当地人具备了长寿的遗传素质（genetic predisposition)，他们具有长寿基因。

2014年职称英语 阅读理解(41) +Too Little for Global Warming

第四十一篇 Too Little for Global Warming Oil and gas will run out1 too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios2 to materialize, according to a controversial new analysis presented this week at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. The authors warn that all the fuel will be burnt before there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to realize predictions of melting ice caps and searing temperatures. Defending their predictions, scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change3 say they considered a range of estimates of oil and gas reserves, and point out that coal-burning could easily make up4 the shortfall. But all agree that burning coal would be even worse for the planet. The IPCC’s predictions of global meltdown pushed forward5 the 1997 Kyoto Protocol6, an agreement obliging signatory nations to cut CO2 emissions. The IPCC considered a range of future scenarios, from unlimited burning of fossil-fuels to a fast transition towards greener energy sources. But geologists Anders Sivertsson, Kjell Aleklett and Colin Campbell of Uppsala University say there is not enough oil and gas left even the most conservative of the 40 IPCC scenarios to come to pass7. Although estimates of oil and gas reserves vary widely, the researchers are part of a growing group of experts who believe that oil supplies will peak as soon as 2010, and gas soon after. Their analysis suggests that oil and gas reserves combined amount to the equivalent of about 3,500 billion barrels of oil considerably less than the 5,000 billion barrels estimated in the most optimistic model envisaged by the IPCC. Even the average forecast of about 8,000 billion barrels is more than twice the Swedish estimate of the world’s remaining reserves. Nebojsa akicenovic, an energy economist at the University of Vienna, Austria who headed the 80-strong IPCC team that produced the forecasts, says the panel’s work still stands8. He says they factored in9 a much broader and internationally accepted range of oil and gas estimates than the “conservative”Swedes. Even if oil and gas run out. “there’s a huge amount of coal underground that could be exploited.” He says that burning coal could make the IPCC scenarios come true, but points out that such a switch would be disastrous. Coal is dirtier than oil and gas and produces more CO2for each unit of energy, as well as releasing large amounts of particulates. He says the latest

2014中考英语阅读理解及答案：互联网改变生活

2014中考英语阅读理解及答案：互联网改变 生活 It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years since it was widely used. At the same time, however, the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall away (消失). E-mail is quicker and cheaper. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare (稀有的) pleasure. Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music in the Interact for free? When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes less important. The Web can remember it for us. When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a favorite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more people lose themselves in the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world. You’ve spent the past few years talking with your freinds on QQ, or reading about his or her QQ suqare, so meeting a freind is no longer as important as it once was.

The empty stretch of interstate gives way to urban congestion2, and Coyne hits the brakes as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him. But even if he hadn’t stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isn’t real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isn’t really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University3 (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.4 The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distracting — or whether any distractions are offset5 by the benefits drivers get from having help finding their way in unfamiliar locations.6 “We are looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers,” said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor lending the research, which involves measuring drivers reaction time and brain activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues7. The researchers just completed a study of the mental workload8 involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案(3)

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案 （3） “We hire talent. ” Those are the words of Rod Franz， a civil service computer technology director， responding to the question of opportunities for women who are interested in pursuing careers as computer technicians. On at least one of three shifts in his operation， the male-female ratio is 50-50. That is not surprising because government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers. What may be even more interesting to young women is that，according to Franz， private industry is hiring women and minorities away from us. And， since private industry pays more， it succeeds. Managers in the rapidly growing computer service field are quick to agree. They strongly encourage women to train for technician jobs， and they actively recruit female technicians across the country. They believe that this career field offers a wealth of possibility for women. A recent study by the Devry Institute of Technology that involved 100 employment managers in the Chicago area showed，too， that the number of women entering the field of computer science is on the rise， and that those already in the field are moving up. A significant increase in the number of women

第八篇Eat Healthy "Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate -club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often，it's accompanied by an appeal:" Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently，some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller. It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents. 词汇: orphan /''?:f?n] / n.孤儿 belly /'beli/ n.肚子 3
