Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she
19、returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the
20、Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.Sh

The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for

BThe world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.The latest big screen offeri
27、ng from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X or Nibiru heads toward or collides with the Earth.Some w
28、ebsites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a questionandanswer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have
29、 been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，
30、” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing h
31、appened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have f
32、orecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that th

36、 ancient Mayan calendarD. How rumors came into beingCIn the quest for better health, many people turn to doctors, selfhelp books or herbal supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life: their friends.Re
37、searchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2
38、007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age.“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn t well appreciated，” said
39、Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. “There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological wellbeing than family relationships.”Bella DePaulo, a vis
40、iting psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.It isn t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. I
41、t may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels.La
42、st year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone.
43、The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.“People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen ARoberto, director of the center
44、 for gerontology (老年医学) at Virginia Tech.“ Friendship is an undervalued resource. The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”66What s the main idea of the passage?A. People should make friends as many as possible.B. Friendships do great good to human health.C. Peo
45、ple with friends have optimistic attitude.D. Several studies have been done on friendships.67Which of the following is true?A. People havent attached importance to friendships.B. A friend can replace doctors and selfhelp books.C. People with many friends may have higher stress levels.D. People who h

Roberto, _.A. the effect of friendships is overvaluedB. studies on friendships make our life betterC. friends are more important than family membersD. friends can help each other when faced with problemsDTHURSDAY, July 9 ( HealthDay News) A new study that found that a lowercalorie die
49、t slowed the aging process in monkeys could be the best proof yet that restricted diets might do the same for humans.“The big question in aging research is, Will caloric restriction in species closely related to humans slow aging？” said Richard Weindruch, senior author of a paper appearing in the Ju
50、ly 10 issue of Science.This is the first clear demonstration that, in a primate species, we re inducing a slowdown of the aging process showing increased survival, resistance to disease, less brain atrophy and less muscle loss.“This predicts humans would respond similarly，” added Weindruch, professo
51、r of medicine at the University of Wisconsin and an investigator at the Veterans Hospital in Madison. Another expert noted that, despite some highly publicized studies in certain species, the link between restricted eating and longer lifespan has been far from proven.“The idea that dietary restricti
52、on extends lifespan in all species is not true. Many strains of rats and mice do not respond. In some strains, it s actually deleterious，” explained Felipe Sierra, director of the biology of aging program at the US National Institute on Aging (NIA), which supported the new study. “The fact that it d
53、oesnt work in some mice but it does seem to work in monkeys is surprising and it gives us hope.”But there s a larger question: how to change humans increasingly lax eating habits. “This_finding_doesnt_give_me_hope_that_humans_are_going_to_go_into_dietary_restriction，” added Marianne Grant, a registe

This experiment indicates restricted diet

The experiment which had been tested on humans got a great success.73According to Felipe Sierra s idea, we know that_.A. the restricted
