Last week, a study was released about a new treatment that combines 5 medicines for heart disease in one pill. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was the lead investigator. H
36、e presented the findings at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Orlando, Florida.The experimental drug is known as Polycap.

37、e than two thousand people between the ages of forty-five and eighty took part in the study. All had at least one risk factor for heart disease. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or being severely overweight. The people were divided into 9 groups of about 200 people each.
38、 One group took Polycap. The other groups took either a single drug or different combinations of the medicines in the Polycap pill. The study showed that Polycap lowered blood pressure and cholesterol without many side effects. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill, taken once a day, could reduce the av

46、bination Pill Cures Blood Pressure and Bad CholesterolD. Cardiovascular Diseases Are the Number One Killer in the World CUse More Facial Expression One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. In fact, more than 50 per
47、cent of anothers impression, he believes, is influenced by the look on your face. Naturally a smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. An unfriendly look often brings the same thing in return. People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or
48、an idea or the audience through your facial expression.Rid Your Inner Fear Its natural to have some tension or nervousness when you appear before an audience. The way to handle it is to put it to work for you , get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. There are only a few known w
49、ays to control fear. The first is to admit it , do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths, which will help keep your voice under control. In fact, if youre thoroughly prepared, just taking a fe
50、w deep breaths before youre introduced will give you added confidence and balance. Other known ways to control nervousness and fear are to give yourself an encouraging talk or take some physical exercise.Polish Your Voice Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. We
51、all sound sensitive. So invest in a tape-recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it .You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Remember that Demosthenes and Winston Churchill both used peb
52、bles in their mouths while practicing their speaking. Simply reading out loud can also help you improve your voice and develop a personal style.Strengthen Your Memory Psychologists tell us that most individuals dont use above ten percent of their natural capacity for memory, thats comparable to tryi
53、ng to run a car on one cylinder(汽缸).Why do most people use so little of their power of memory? Because they dont practise the fundamentals of remembering. First and most important, its necessary to have a burning desire to remember; its difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. Step two
54、 is concentration. Henry Ward Beecher once observed, one hour of intense concentration can accomplish more than years of dreaming. The next principle is repetition. We learned many things in school by repetition. When you hear a name for the first time, repeat it, spell it, write it down and review
55、it. Youll soon know it by heart.66.Why should you polish your voice?A. Because it can develop a personal voice. B. Because you can practise reading aloudC.

58、 How to Strengthen Your MemoryC. How to Communicate with People D. Four Efficient Ways to Improve Your SpeechD Drive through any American city or suburb, and you will see large space where huge stores are grouped together, sometimes even under one roof. The sight of such huge stores would have been
59、unusual for our grandparents, who shopped in small neighborhood stores. There shopping areas reflect some major changes in American society. The construction of new supermarkets and shopping centers has been continuing over the past forty years. Supermarkets continue to appear because they offer the
60、 shopper a wide choice of products in one placeanything from food to small appliances. Because of the large amount of goods sold , supermarkets can offer lower prices than small neighborhood stores can. The convenience and value of large stores and shopping areas have them an important part of the w
61、ay of American shopping. With the rise of supermarkets and shopping centers, American society has experienced some changes. Most obviously, many small neighborhood stores have disappeared, driven out of business by the large stores. Now Americans use cars even more in order to get to and carry produ
62、cts from the shopping centers, which are typically located farther from many homes. Another change is perhaps the least easy to describe. Americans are now more isolated. In the neighborhood store, the owner knew about the customers and their families. People in the neighborhood could gather and tal
63、k there. Now Americans shop in huge spaces, where no one knows anyone else. Supermarkets have made shopping more personal.
