"Your walking speed is a reflection of just how well many of your body's systems are doing," noted Studenski.
By timing walking speed and using the longevity charts, doctors can provide better care for their patients. For example, most doctors don't screen patients older than 70 for prostate cancer. But if a man is otherwise healthy and energetic, and expected to live at least 10 more years, he might benefit from the screening. For those who are less healthy, doctors could look for ways to improve their health and quality of life.
Dr. Studenski says the charts, while good, however, are not always indicators of longevity. Some people in good health just prefer to walk slowly.
Some people say love makes the world go around. Others say it is not love; it's money.Since the __1__truth is that it is energy that makes the world go around. Energy is the currency of the ecological system and life becomes possible even when food is __2__converted into energy, which in turns is used to seek more food to grow, to reproduce and to survive. In this __3__cycle all life depends. It is fairly well known that wild animals survive from year to year by eating as many as __4__they can during times of plenty, the summer and fall,storing the excess, usually in the form. of fat, and then using these reserves of fat to survive during the hard time __5__in winter when food is scarce. But it is probably less well known that even with their stored fat, wild animals spend less energy to live in winter than in summer. A good case in point is white-tailed deer. Like most wildlife, deer __6__reproduce, grow,and store fat in the summer and fall
when there is plenty of nutritious food available. A physically mature female deer in the good condition who __7__has conceived in November and was given birth to two fawns __8__during the end of May and first part of June, must search for food for the necessary energy not only to meet her body's needs but also to reproduce milk for her fawns. The __9__best milk production occurs at the same time that new plant growth is available. This is good timing, because milk production is an energy consuming process -- it requires a lot of food. The need can be met unless the region has __10__ample food resources.
Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading.Well, this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book.You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m.rate creeping up.

Accurate Timer (精确记时器)
These days timing is everything.Between meetings and appointments, deadlines and conference calls, my schedule requires that I know the time down to the minute.Even on weekends, I have a football team to coach, shows to tape, and planes to catch.If I'm late, I'm sunk.The problem is that it's hard if my clocks aren't correct.Even the digital clocks can display time inaccurately.Dead batteries, time changes, "" any of these can cause a clock to be inaccurate.Now there is no need to worry, because advanced radio technology has produced a clock which gets the time directly from the U.S.Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, the standard for time-keeping all over the world.The Atomic Clock by Acron is the most accurate, reliable and convenient timepiece you can have.
Every morning at 1:00 a.m, this "smart" clock in Colorado automatically resets itself to the exact hour, minute and second.The U.S.Atomic Clock is accurate to ten billionths of a second per day.This means that the clock deviates less than one second over a one-million-year period.The Atomic Clock even adjusts automatically for daylight saving time,so you don't have to remember to "spring forward" or "fall back".The desktop clock model is the only atomic clock that will not lose time with low power or when you change its batteries.
The most accurate clock in the world is of no use if it is difficult to operate.The Acron Atomic Clock is engineered in Germany using the latest scientific technology.It comes in two styles, the wall clock and the desktop model.Both are designed to be functional and easy to use.The desk clock's display features the exact time (in hours, minutes and seconds) , month and date, or you can choose to display any two U.S.or world time zones.It weighs only eight ounces, and is the perfect travel clock.It also has dual alarms,perfect for couples.Both the desktop and the wall models have an internal antenna for good reception without unattractive wires.

听力原文: Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
Young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
Though jobs at home for young children are a normal part of family life, paying children to do extra work around the house can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form. of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: You have to cut costs and plan for the future.

A.By doing homework.
B.By knowledge from books and parents.
C.By having pocket money from their parents.
D.By saving what they have.
听力原文: How can a speaker successfully hold an audience's attention during his speech? What is the secret?
First, find out about the audience and what they need to know. Plan what you're going to say and say it clearly and concisely. (33) A good speaker uses various signals to help hold the audience's attention and make the information clear. One type of signal is to introduce a list with a phrase like There are three things we have to consider. The speaker then says what the three things are and talks about each one at the required level of detail.
Another signaling technique is to give a link between parts of the presentation. Say where one part of the talk finishes and another starts. For example, a well organized presentation usually contains different parts and progression from one part to the next must be clear, with phrases like that's all I want to say about the development of the product. Now let's turn to the actual marketing plan. This technique is very helpful to the audience, especially those who are mainly interested in one part only. Another type of signaling is sequencing of information. This usually follows a logical order, perhaps based on time. Key words in sequencing information are first, then, and so on.
(34) Still another technique which helps to emphasize key points is careful repetition. Examples are As I've already said, there is no alternative but to increase production by 100 per cent...
A final point concerns timing and quantity of information. (35) Psychologists have suggested that concentration is reduced after about twenty minutes without a break or a change in activity. Furthermore, audience should not overburdened with technical details or given too many facts to remember. It is claimed that to ask people to remember more than three things in a five minutes' talk is too much.
Every speaker needs to think about exactly how much information of a particular type a specific audience is likely to absorb and to plan accordingly.
33.How can a good speaker hold the audience's attention?
34.How can a good speaker emphasize the key points in his activity?
35.How can a speaker lengthen the audience's attention?
(30)
A.By telling a vivid story.
B.By a well-organized presentation.
C.By using various signals.
D.By a logical order.
