Political Spins
Last week, US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries. He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton "chutzpah" (大胆放肆). With just one sentence, Snow managed to make headlines, a joke and a defense of President George W. Bush. Interestingly. this is how battles are fought and won in US politics - with carefully-worded one-liners (一行字幕新闻) made for TV which often lack substance and clarity (清晰度).
"The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller," said Mark Smith, a political science professor al Cedarville University. This has been accompanied by a changing media environment, Smith said. In 1968, the average TV or radio soundbite (演讲中的句子或短语) was 48 seconds, according to Smith. In 1996, the average soundbite had shrunk (缩短) to 8 seconds. Thus, politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible.
Campaigning politicians als0 use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans (口号) to boost their messages. Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the "Straight-Talk Express". McCain hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the truth - whether it's in fashion or not. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has chosen the campaign slogan "Let the conversation begin". She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly.
But one-liners, TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient: something commonly called political "spin". Brooks Jackson, a former journalist and the current director of the non-partisan (无党派的) website FactCheck.org, calls spin "just a polite word for deception (欺骗)."
"I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin," said Jackson.
"Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency: They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong."
Which statement is NOT true of one-liners？
A．They are unclear.
B．They contain a lot of information.
C．They lack substance.
D．They are carefully constructed.
U. S. Life Expectancy Hits New High
Life expectancy rates in the United States are at an all- time high, with people born in 2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years, a new federal study finds.
The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in 1955, when the average American lived to be 69.6 years old. By 1995, life expectancy was 75.8 years, and by 2005, it had risen to 77.9 years, according to the report released Wednesday.
"This is good news," said report co - author Donna Hoyert, a health scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics. "It's even better news that it is a continuation of trends, so it is a long period of continuing improvement. "
Despite the upward trend, the United States still has a lower life expectancy than some 40 other countries, according to the U. S. Census (人口普查) Bureau. The country with the longest life expectancy is Andorra at 83.5 years, followed by Japan, Macau, San Marino and Singapore.
Much of the increase owes to declining death rates from the three leading causes of death in the country - heart disease, cancer and stroke.
In addition, in 2005, the U. S. death rate dropped to an all -time low of less than 800 deaths per 100,000.
Dr. David Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine, said, "News that life expectancy is increasing is, of course, good. But the evidence we have suggests that there is more chronic disease than ever in the U. S."
Adding years to life is a good thing, Katz said. "But adding vital life to years is at least equally important. If we care about living well, and not just longer, we still have our work cut out for us," he said.
Since 1955, life expectancy rates in the U. S. have
A．moved up and down.
B．been declining.
C．remained steady.
D．been on the rise.

Sleeping
People who sleep for more than eight hours a night do not live as long as those who sleep for Six hours，according to the biggest study yet into sleep patterns and mortality（死亡率）。
Scientists have no explanation for the findings and do not know if they mean people who like a lie-in（睡懒觉）can extend their lives by sleeping less.
Although it is a common I belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for health and well-being，the six-year study involving more than l.1 million Americans Older than 30 found that those who slept for less than eight hours were far from doing themselves any long-term harm
"Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleeps a night can be reassured that this is a safe amount of sleep. From a health standpoint，there is no reason to sleep longer，" said Daniel Kripke，a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at the University of California San Diego.
Dr.Kripke said，''We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death. Addition al Studios are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health." l he scientists who were funded by the American Cancer Society，found that the best survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night. 1 hose who slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during the six-year period of the study，when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account.
Even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept eight or more hours. However，an increasing death rate was found among those who slept for less than five hours. Dr.Kripke said，"Previous sleep studies have indicated that both short-and long-duration（持续时间）sleep had higher mortality rates-However-none of those studies was large enough to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a 1night.Until now"
