37、kreview.DIt is a question we often wonder, especially as we age: How many years do I have left?

38、iscover”.Begin by standing straight in the middle of a room. Without using your arms or hands, carefully squat (蹲) into a cross-legged sitting position. Once you are comfortable, attempt to stand back up from the sitting position again, without using your arms or hands for help. The test is scored o
39、n a point scale between 1 and 10 (5 points for sitting, 5 more points for standing back up). Each time you use an arm or a hand for help in balancing during the test, you subtract (减去) one point from 10 possible points and half a point is subtracted each time you lose your balance.It seems like a pr
40、etty simple test of training, but Araujo found that it could predict life expectancy. He tested it on more than 2,000 of his patients aged 51 to 80, and found that people who scored less than 8 points on the test were twice as likely to die within the next six years. Those who scored three points or
41、 less were five times more likely to die within that same time. Overall, each point achieved in the test meant a 21-percent reduction in mortality (死亡率).Araujos study was only performed on patients older than 50, so the results wont mean the same thing for younger ones taking the test. But without c
42、onsidering your age, the test should provide a useful benchmark (基准) for your health. If you are younger than 50 and have trouble with the test, it ought to be a wake-up call. The good news is that the younger you are, the more time you have to get into better shape.32. How many points will Peter ge

What is the important part of Claudio Gil Araujos test if people want to get a high score? A. Stand straight enough in the right middle of a room. B. Squat into a cro
44、ss-legged sitting position and keep the action. C. Try to keep their balance without using arms or hands for help. D. Try to stand back up from the sitting position as soon as possible.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The test is only suitable for people who are older than 50 years
45、old. B. The test has the same benchmark upon old people and young people. C. Younger people can also use the test to be a benchmark for their health. D. Older people should take the test seriously to predict the life expectancy.35. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Younger to Do
