[单项选择] 第一篇 The National Trust 　　The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.

[单项选择]American society has been described as maintaining a stereotypic and often negative perception of older adults. This negative and/or stereotypic perception of aging and aged individuals is readily apparent in such areas as language, media, and humor. For example, such commonly used phrases as "over the hill" and "don’t be an old fuddy-duddy" denote old age as a period of impotency and incompetency. The term used to describe this stereotypic and often negative bias against older adults is ageism. Ageism can be defined as "any action, or institutional structure which subordinates a person or group because of age or any assignment of roles in society purely on the basis of age". As an "ism", ageism reflects a prejudice in society against older adults. Ageism, however, is different from other "isms’’ ( sexism, racism, etc. ), for primarily two reasons. First, age classification is not static. An individual’s age classification changes as one progresses through the life cycle. Thus,
A. A negative period of impotency and incompetency.
B. A negative and/or stereotypic perception of older adults.
C. A definition of stereotypic and often negative attitudes,
D. A denotation against the negative bias of older adults.

[简答题]For years, the prescription for maintaining health hearts had been vigorous exercise—running, swimming, dancing—whatever it took to get the heat rate up and keep it there for 20 to 30 minutes at least three times a week. But that message changed.
A panel of exercise researchers convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine reported that people needn’t exercise vigorously to improve their health.
The American Heart Association has weighed in with similar recommendations. But despite this apparent consensus, there is considerable disagreement in the exercise research community about whether the recommendations are amply supported by scientific data.
Policy-makers caught in the middle of this disagreement are in a difficult position. It’s a classic dilemma confronting health experts in areas ranging from mammography (哺乳动物学) to diet, where the scientific data are not clear-cut.

[填空题]Nature’s ways of maintaining the balance are simple and easily understood.
