44、is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study. Researchers from Kings College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing fo

45、und in DNA. As people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses. But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier. The study suggests vitamin D may help to

46、 slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole. Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: These results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitam

47、in D. This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. He said further studies are required to confirm the findings. Professor Tim Spector, head of KCLs twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: Althou

48、gh it might sound absurd, its possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process. Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the bodys supply, but lower levels can also be obtai

49、ned through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals. Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease. 66.

A. those who work in the office age more slowlyB. absorbing too much sunlight benefits your skinC. those who work in the open air may age more sl

51、owlyD. being exposed to sunlight brings on the skin cancer68. We learn from the text that women with high levels of vitamin D _. A. look younger than others B. are much stronger than othersC. are never infected with illness D. have relatively shorter telomeres69. Dr. Brent Richards wound agree that

52、_. A. higher levels of vitamin D must prevent heart diseaseB. longer telomeres make it possible to cure cancerC. vitamin D plays an active role in resisting agingD. telomeres slow down the aging process of DNA70. Which would be the best title for the text?A. The new function of vitamin D.B. Sunshine

53、 helps to keep you young.C. New findings from British scientists.D. Vitamin D may help age more slowly.DThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image（形象）of
