But the Danish study, one of the largest of its kind to examine the combined effect of drinking and exercise, found there were additional protective effects gained from doing both.The researchers collected information on the drinking andexercise habits of nearly 12,000 people aged 20 years or older between 1981 and 1983. Over the next 20 years, some 1,200 of the participants died from heart disease and about 5,900 died from other causes.Non drinkers had a 30 per cent to 31 per cent higher risk of heart disease compared to moderate drinkers, no matter what the amount of physical activity they undertook. Moderate consumption was defined as between 1 to 14 drinks per week. But teetotalers (绝对禁酒者) who exercised at least moderately were able to reduce their risk of heart disease, an important finding for people who refuse to drink because of religious beliefs or other health issues such as pregnancy, the researchers said.People who had the lowest risk of dying from any cause were physically active, moderate drinkers while those at highest risk were the physically inactive, heave drinkers, the study found.56.What kind of people have the lowest risk of dying from any heart disease and other causes?A. Those who are physically active and heavy drinkers.B. Those who exercise and drink moderately.C. People who neither drink nor exercise.D. People who are physically inactive and moderate drinkers.57.How many drinks does a moderate drinker drink?A. More than three drinks per day.B. One or two drinks per month.C. One to fourteen drinks per week.D. Fourteen drinks every day.58.What is implied in the passage?A. All teetotalers can reduce their risk of heart disease.B. Drinking is forbidden in some religions.C. Some 1,200 participants died from heart disease over 20 years.D. Heavy drinkers have the highest risk of heart disease.BSubmit your photos and videos to You Witness News to have them considered for use on Reuters. Com, Yahoo!

It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, crazily happy fans the moment the big game is won.Uniqueness is eye-catching. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have context by showing the surrounding scene, or show the emotion on the faces of the people in the picture.Timeliness is critical. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been destined for the front page when you took it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website a week later.Control is important.

Independent schools dominate the A* gradesB. Straight As no longer enough for top universitiesC. Pick up applicants with the greatest potentialD. Top universities need top students64.The underlined word “elite”in Paragraph 4 means “_”.A. bestB. expensiveC. worstD. cheapest65.We can infer from the passage that_.A. only students with at least 3 A* can be admitted to OxbridgeB. fee-paying independent schools provide a better education that state schoolsC. the new assessment system of A* will be carried out in 2010D. students involvement in social activities is a must to be admitted to the 1994 Group66.Why does the new assessment system have to be invented?A. Few students have gained three A grades in A-level exams.B. Oxbridge want to distinguish themselves from other universities.C. Top universities are pushing for the reform of the assessment.D. The present A-level exams fail to pick out the most talented students.DDear Sirs,Your shipment of twelve thousand “Smart” watches was received be your company this morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints cocerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to caryout our instructions.It was stressed from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less than six weeks. While we appreciate that delays in production are occasionally unavoidable, we must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with your company was that we were assured by you that your existing stocks ensure immediate shipment. Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disapoint several of our most valued customers, and is sure to have a negative effect on future orders.The second complaint concerns the difference in colour. Only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours we ordered.Our Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colours. Any watches that ate not of the specified colours will , of course, be returned to you.We are also somewhat concerned abou
