One of the best-known proverbs must be "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy,

wealthy, and wise". The promises of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modem man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $ 200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people, and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.

Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have flowed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survery showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 38. 5 yards of the hard and tiring marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have ran in the Hawaiian Marathon.

Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day'？" A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as l have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down fill it passes. "

The first paragraph indicates that medical workers ______.

A．are in great demand

B．make a lot of money

C．are concerned with their own health

D．like sports more than ordinary people

根据下列文章,请回答 16～22 题。 Step Back in Time Do you know that we live a lot longe

根据下列文章,请回答 16～22 题。

Step Back in Time

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us？ One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45．But now，she can live until at least 80．

One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better．We know which foods are good for US and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need．We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again．And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily．

But in order that we don’t slip back into bad habits，let's have a look at what life was like 100 years ago．

Families had between 15 and 20 children，although many babies didn’t live long．

Children suffered from lots of diseases，especially rickets(佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病)，which are both caused by bad diets．This is because many-families were very poor and not able to feed their children well。

Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up，bending over a piece of strin9，because there was no room for them to lie down．

People didn’t have fridges until the l 920s．They kept fresh food cold by storing it ON windowsills(窗台板)，blocks of ice，or even burying it in the garden．

Some children had to start work at the age of．seven or eight to earn money for their parents．If you had lived l 00 years a90，you might well be selling matchsticks(火柴杆)(a job done by many children)or working with your dad by now．

第 16 题 0n average women lived longer than men 100 years ago．

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned
