Bats are the only mammals that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long
time for an animal their size.
European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long. They hope to make discoveries
aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings. Last week, the group of scientists said they had identified
important biological qualities in some bat species.
The group studied bat chromosomes(染色体), a line of genes found in the nucleus of cells. The scientists were
most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres. Telomeres protect
the ends of chromosomes, which shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes
cells to break down. They say this is what causes aging.
The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been
gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals, the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an
average of 37 years. The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis
had telomeres that did not shorten with age.
The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats’ cells have the ability to maintain and repair their telomeres. This,
they said, helps guard against the aging process.
Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these
mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.
24. Which the following statement is right according to the text?
A. Bats live the longest time among animals.
B. European researchers want to fight the aging process in human being.
C. From the information, scientists found the greater mouse-eared bat lived the longest life in all specials.
D. Scientists have developed ways to fight aging by studying bats.25. According to the scientists, telomeres are_____________?
A. structures which protect the ends of chromosomes.
B. genes which can be found in the nucleus of cells.
C. chromosomes which can shorten each time a cell divides.
D. aging processes.
26. According to the text, Myotis had the longest life among bats species, because_________?
A. they had telomeres that keep age processing.
B. their cells can maintain and repair their telomeres.
C. their chromosomes were more than others.
D. their telomeres cause cells to break down
C
A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of
disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.
The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly
40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.
Survey respondents were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among
other questions.
The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction,
while middle－aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65
and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more
satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and
death for the study period.
“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a
greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote Frieder R．Lang, a
professor at the University of Erlangen－Nuremberg.
Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about
their actions than people who expected a rosy future.
“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking
improved precautions (预防措施)，” the authors wrote.
Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health
or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was relatedto a greater risk of disability.
The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and
personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.
However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt
their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.
27．According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?
A．Optimistic adults.
B．Middle－aged adults.
C．Adults in poor health.
D．Adults of lower income.
28．Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ________．
A．to fully enjoy their present life
B．to estimate their contribution accurately
C．to take measures against potential risks
D．to value health more highly than wealth
29．How do people of higher income see their future?
A．They will earn less money.
B．They will become pessimistic.
C．They will suffer mental illness.
D．They will have less time to enjoy life.
30．What is the clear conclusion of the study?
A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.
B．Good financial condition leads to good health.
C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.

A knock at the front door announced a visitor.Phil Radcliffe opened the door，looked down，and found a small
boy of about 10，head down and face hidden，nose sniffling(抽鼻子)，obviously in some unhappiness.
Phil and his wife Molly lived in this neighbourhood for almost three decades.The families here all knew and
trusted one another.Youngsters bounced from home to home looking for friends and entertainment.In the school
holidays，Molly and Phil had been known to take children at a time to the local cinema to give some of the parents a
break.
Having taken him to the living room and had him seated，Phil asked the boy，“Philip，what’s happened？”
The boy seemed genuinely upset by the inquiry.“Sorry，Mr Radcliffe，” he sobbed，“My dad’s just left
home.He’s not going to live with us any more.Mum’s crying.It’s made me cry.I don’t think I’m going to see him
again.”
Phil sat down next to him and put a comforting arm around his shoulders，trying to reassure the youngster，
“I’m sure that you’ll see your father again very soon，Philip.You’re a lovely boy and he’ll want to see you a lot.And
your teachers will understand if sometimes you’re a bit sad.”
The boy wiped away his tears with the back of a hand.“Let me get something for us，” Phil suggested.He went into the kitchen，and then returned with an orange
juice for the boy，a coffee for himself and a selection of biscuits for them.However upset he might have been，
young Philip was obviously happy with the drink and concentrated on the chocolate samples among the biscuits.
Once the boy seemed more settled，Phil proposed，“Perhaps you should call your mum and tell her where you
are，so that she doesn’t worry.”
“It’s OK，Mr Radcliffe，” he insisted.“I’ll go home in a few minutes.But I like talking to you.”
“You can stay as long as you want，Philip.I just don’t want your mother to think that she’s lost you.”
