Men who exercise often are less likely to die from cancer than those who 1 , new research published in the British Journal of Cancer revealed yesterday.

　　A team of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden looked 2 the effect of physical activity and cancer risk in 40,708 men __ 3 _ between 45 and 79.

　　The seven-year study found that men 4 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 per cent lower risk of 5 from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. 6 the period studied~, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease. The researchers suggest that half an hour's walking__7__cycling a day increased survival among these men by 33 per cent.

　　The researchers surveyed men from two counties in central Sweden about their lifestyle and the amount of 8 activity they were usually doing. They then scored these responses and compared the results__9 _data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry2over a seven-year period.

　　Lead author, Professor Alicja Wolk, said: "These results clearly show for the first time the effect that very simple and basic daily 10 such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle-aged and elderly 11 " Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less 12 to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to 13__the disease if they get it. It's not entirely clear from this study what role exercise plays in preventing 14 in men, but we do know that a healthy lifestyle can prevent up to half of all cancers3-and 15 exercise forms a key part of this.

　　2.C look at表示“觀察、研究”。

       3.B between 45 and 79顯然指的是這些男人的年齡，因此應(yīng)選aged.

　　13.D既然堅(jiān)持經(jīng)常性運(yùn)動(dòng)的男人死于癌癥的可能性要小，那么不難推斷這種男人即使得了癌癥，存活下來的可能性也應(yīng)更大些。

　　14.B短文全篇都在談?wù)撃腥诉\(yùn)動(dòng)與患癌癥的關(guān)系，此外，接下來又出現(xiàn)了prevent up to half of all cancers，因此此處應(yīng)選cancer.

"They often don't tell 3 we don't ask. We want to message out2 to men who 4 experience domestic violence that they are not alone and there are resources available to 5 " The researchers asked study participants about physical abuse and non-physical 6 such as threats that made them 7 for3 their safety, controlling behavior (for example, being told who they could associate with and where they could go), and constant name-calling.

　　Happy Marriage, Happy Heart

　　The study included 204 married and 99 5 adults who wore portable blood-pressure monitors for 24 hours. The 6 recorded blood pressure at random intervals2 and provided a total of about 72 readings.

　　"We wanted to capture participants' blood pressure doing whatever they normally 7 in everyday life3. Getting one or two readings in a clinic is not really 8 of the fluctuations that occur throughout the day,"4 Holt-Lunstad said.

　　Overall, happily married people scored four points 9 on the blood pressure readings than single adults. The study also found that blood __ 10__ among married people – especially those in happy marriages -__11 __more during sleep than in single people.

       　"Research has shown that people whose blood pressure remains high throughout the night are at__12__greater risk of heart disease than people whose blood pressure drops," Holt-Lunstad said.

　　The study was published in the March 20__13__of the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.

　　"Not all survivors are taking advantage of this teachable moment and making positive health changes in 9 life," says Electra Paskett, PhD, at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center.

　　Middle Age: A Low Point for Most

　　People around the globe hit the height of their misery and depression in 1 age1, a new international study suggests.

　　The finding by British and American researchers was based on an analysis of well-being among approximately 2 million people in 80 nations. With few exceptions, the observation appears to apply across the board2, regardless 2 gender, culture, geography, wealth, job history, education, and marriage or parental status.

　　"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant 'U' 3 through life," said study author Andrew J. Oswald, a professor of economics at Warwick University in Warwickshire, England. "For the average person, it's high when you're 20, and then it slowly falls and bottoms out3 4 your 40s. But the good news is that your __5__ health picks up4 again, and eventually gets back to the high levels of our youth. "

　　The finding was 6 on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data ,including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys (first launched in the 1970s), involving about 500,000 American and Western European men and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "World Values Survey" __7 between 1981 and 2004 in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Central and South America; and a 2004-2007 survey 8 nearly 1 million Britons.

　　The bottom-line: For most people throughout the world, the highest probability for depression striking is around 44 years of 9.In the United States, however, some as-yet unexplained__10 differences were observed, with happiness among men dipping the most in their early 50s, whereas women hit their Nadir around the age of 40.

　　The researchers cautioned that cheerful people tend to live longer than unhappy__11__--a fact that might have skewed the overall finding. But they also suggested that evidence of a happiness 12_ might simply reflect a midlife choice to give up long-held but no longer tenable aspirations, followed by a senior's sense of gratitude for having successfully endured 13 others did not6.

　　"That sai5, some might find it helpful simply to understand the general__14__of mental health as they go through their own life," said Oswald. "It might be useful for people to realize that if they are__15 __in their 40s, this is normal. It is not exceptional. And just knowing this might help. "
