   The human body is designed to move.But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around.As we know，we're while we're eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV.And many of us sit for many hours at work.

   New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years.Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.

   However, Mr.Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours.He also says you may exercise often, “We can't throw away physical activity.It's extremely important.We have 60 years of research showing us that.”

   Mr.Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life.“Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率)or television viewing and mortality are very rare.There's only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one－point four years to life.

    Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks.A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work.Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.”  A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place.Even some U．S.schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

    Mr.Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

   B．Exercise is important and don't sit too long.

   C．Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one's horizons.

   D．Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

30. What does Mr.Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?

   A．It's a relatively new area of study.

   B．It's a hot subject studied by experts.

   C．It's a study that begins too late.

   D．It's not ignored by many experts.

31. Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

During the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.

Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 Yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption（消费）around the country.

Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural（惠农）policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.

Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts（救济）to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, "We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 Yuan red packet to the poor," said Xing.

Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.

"To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life," said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.

  One day, I was    61     (serious) ill with    62   very high fever. I had stayed at home for a few days, and I    63   (run) out of food by then. Because I had been in this town just for a short time, I also had no friends nearby   64   (turn) to for help. So I went out to get some food. I would   65   (go) to the supermarket, but  66   this occasion, I went into a small store because it was closer. I picked up a few items. When   67   (hand) them to the shopkeeper, I heard she said, “You are unwell.” “Yes,” I nodded. She pointed at the salami and bread I was buying and offered, “ I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it   68   (you)”. So , she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went in the back room and returned with a bowl of hot soup. “It will warm you up,” she said with a genuine smile.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

24．Research shows that people’s physical and mental health ________.

A. relies on the social welfare systems which support them
