听力原文: Although we are told when young that honesty is the best policy, we are often taught the opposite by experience and observation. A child quickly learns that she cannot always tell the truth. For instance, the little girl who tells her great aunt that she's fat and ugly learns that honesty can have some unfortunate results. Similarly the five-year-old who admits to pinching the baby soon has ample evidence that dishonesty might be the real virtue. In addition to her own experience, the child also observes that adults don't practice what they preach about honesty. Any alert child knows by the age of eight that adults really employ the little white lie to serve their own purposes. For instance, a child may hear a parent explain on the phone that his family have a lot of company when the child knows that no one is there but family members. Another child may hear her mother insist that she's terribly glad to see an old friend who has dropped by and then, two hours later, hear her mother complain about her day being interrupted by the visit. As a result, the child learns from watching that dishonesty is the practice even when honesty is the stated policy.

Multiple Sclerosis (多发性硬化症 )
l. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the patient&39;s immune (免疫的) system attacks the central nervous system. This can lead to numerous physical and mental symptoms, as the disease af-fects the transmission of electrical signals between the body and the brain. However, the human body,being a flexible, adaptable system, can compensate for some level of damage, so a person with MS can look and feel fine even though the disease is present.
2. MS patients can have one of two main varieties of the disease: the relapsing form. (复发型) and the primary progressive form. In the relapsing form, the disease progresses in a series of jumps; at times it is in remission (减轻) which means that a person&39;s normal functions return for a period of time before the system goes into relapse and the disease again becomes more active. This is the most com-mon form. of MS; 80~90% of people have this form. of the disease when they are first diagnosed. The relapse-remission cycle can continue for many years. Eventually, however, loss of physical and cogni-tive functions starts to take place and the remissions become less frequent.
3. In the primary progressive form. of MS, there are no remissions and a continual but steady loss of physical and cognitive functions takes place. This condition affects about 10~15 % of sufferers at di-agnosis.
4. The expected course of the disease, or prognosis (预后), depends on many variables: the sub-type of the disease, the patient&39;s individual characteristics and the initial symptoms. Life expectancy of patients, however, is often nearly the same as that of an unaffected person-provided that a reasona- le standard of care is received. In some cases a near-normal life span is possible.
5. The cause of the disease is unclear; it seems that some people have a genetic susceptibility(易感性) , which is triggered by some unknown environmental factor. Onset (发作) of the disease usually occurs in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40. It is more common in women than men; howev-er, it has also been diagnosed in young children and in elderly people.

听力原文: The first step in exercising for most people is determining whether or not they should. This is particularly true with anyone over thirty-five, especially if they have been heavy smokers. (33) Likewise, young adults who have been very inactive should process slowly and with caution. A physical evaluation from a physician is recommended, preferably one that includes an exercise-stress test. While a person is exercising, a stress test detects cardiovascular (心血管的) problems that might not show up when the body is at rest. This is done by monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen consumption, and the hearts electrical activity while exercising.
Whatever exercise program is selected, (34) it is important to start with warm-up periods. These should include stretching exercises, jumping jacks, or active walking. The idea is to increase heart rate and circulation slowly without placing a sudden strain on the heart or the muscles that are starting to work. The next phase in developing an exercise program is to determine the amount of exercise that is enough to condition the muscles and cardiovascular system without overly straining the body. This involves taking one's pulse and finding one's target zone.
(35) This target zone, or safe-training pulse rate, is established by subtracting one's age from 220 and then taking 60 percent to 80 percent of that total. If you are just starting to exercise, 60 percent is recommended; 80 percent is recommended if you are already in good condition.
Questions:33. What should the inactive young adults do when they decide to do exercise?
34.What does warm-up exercise exclude?
35.What would be the suggested the safe-training pulse rate if you are a beginner and at the age of 45?
(30)
A.To determine whether-or-not they should.
B.To process slowly and with caution.
C.To have a muscle check.
D.To increase heart rate.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age,but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27. Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37. On the other hand, indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people’s minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse. "These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one’s abilities,may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no dispases," Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years. The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的)changes in mental function, and involve solving Puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols. In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力)generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s. The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia(痴呆),according to the researchers. “By following individuals over time,” Salthouse said, "we gain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discover ways to slow the rate of decline.” The researchers are currently analyzing, the study participants&39; health and lifestyle. to see which factors might influence age-related cognitive changes.

A.It varies from person to person.
