• 1．Why do men die earlier than women？The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline（衰退） when they reach middle age.
     The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts hardly lose their pumping power（供血動力）with age.
     "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20---25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age，" said the head of the study，David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. "Within the heart there are millions of cells（細(xì)胞） that enable it to beat.Between the age of 20 and 70，one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men，" said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process （衰老過程）."
     What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old man's.
     "This gender （性別）difference might just explain why women live longer than men，" said Goldspink.
     They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80，concentrating on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
     The team will have to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart，said Goldspink.
     The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

• 2．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signals（信號）．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
  Different cultures emphasize（強(qiáng)調(diào)） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in"small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．
  Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion；instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
  Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．Certainly，English and German cultures share similar values；Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
  People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．
  
  （1）In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to

  ．
  A．develop closer relations
  B．share the same culture
  C．get to know each other
  D．keep each other company

  ．
  A．the English prefer to make long speeches
  B．too many words are of no use
  C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name
  D．even talk and silence can be culturally different
  （3）According to the text，how can people from different cultures understand each other better？

  
  A．By sharing different ways of life
  B．By accepting different habits
  C．By recognizing different values
  D．By speaking each other's languages
  （4）What would be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Multicultural Environment
  B．Cross-Cultural Differences
  C．How to Understand Each Other
  D．How to Build up a Relationship．

• 3．The arts，especially music，should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level.Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience.They could improve their classroom skills，like paying attention and following directions.People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination.It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
     Music not only makes children better students，but also gives them something positive to do.In a music program，children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang（團(tuán)伙）.Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen.In a school band，students get to be part of a team.They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
     Music builds self-confidence，too.It gives children a sense of achievement and success.Making music is something for them to be proud of，and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience.Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression，and that helps develop their self-confidence.
     Once again，music is important because it can make children better students，give them something positive to do，and build their character.That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
