The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million
39、 people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations. Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area.

41、y. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.

47、d who was complaining how difficult it was to study English. No surprises there. It is a difficult language to master, just like Chinese. I made a few suggestions based on my experience. One involved a very valuable fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher, Dr. SmithHe is a g
48、ifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to remember things, like poetry, essays, speeches, etcHis advice to us students is that for memorization purposes, there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more acceptable than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes. This 40-minu
49、te super memory period is divided into two parts: the 20 minutes before we sleep, and the 20 minutes after we first awake. The theory supporting this is pretty simple. First, the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than information gained during the
50、 noisy daytime; and second, our mind is free of disturbance(干扰) when we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs, like a blank slate（石板） I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years. In my university days, our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary wo
51、rds each day, on which we would be quizzed（测试） the following day. Without the magic 40-minute technique, theres no way I would have passed those daily quizzes. As far as language study goes, its not only useful for memorizing vocabulary. Its also a very useful window of time to listen to the languag
52、e were studying even with background noise, and even if its at a level we find difficult to understand. It might be audio（声音的）language study, aids, or just radio, TV or whatever. Beyond our years of formal(正式的) education, memory skills are hugely important in any career. How many times have we heard
53、 a speaker read their speech from a prepared text, or read the word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide（投影片）? These are annoying, boring, and less effective ways of communicating. They are almost guaranteed(保证) to lose the audiences close attention and interest, l
54、et alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. And yet lots of people still make this mistake. If we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation content on a 100% word-by-word basis, but well be familiar enough so that we can spend much more time making eye co
55、ntact with our audience. We will get them in the process, while looking at our text instead of staring at it. This will also free up our hands and arms to convey some extra messages through gesture As you see, the technique really works, but like many things, it takes practice to perfect it. Therefo
56、re, wed better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom, as regularly and frequently as possible. One basic rule of language learning is, Use it, or lose it” Seize the forty-minute learning window and well bring in a rich harvest of language learning.67. Which of the following is TRUE

59、 time D. the last information gained before bed is more likely to remain69. We can learn from the passage that the 40-minute technique A. ensures that we understand the difficult language B. helps a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text C. helps the author pass those daily quizzes in hi
60、s university days D. makes a speaker remember the presentation content completely70. Which of the following is the best title for this passage？ A. The Best Way to Learn English B.
