The study, published in The Lancet, called for texts to be included in services to help people kick the habit. Other scientists said a text service could be offered globally. According to government statistics two-thirds of UK smokers say they want to stop. This study looked at 5,800 of them. Supportive texts were sent to 2,915 of the smokers for six months. The rest received only messages thanking them for taking part. They were sent five texts a day for the first five weeks and then three a week for the next 26 weeks. Participants could also text back for specific advice when they had strong desire or had begun to smoke again. Saliva tests for cotinine,which is made when nicotine is broken down by the body,were taken to determine if people had really given up. After six months,10.7% of those receiving texts had quitdouble the proportion among those doing it on their own. Dr Caroline Free, who led the txt2stop trial at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,said: "Text messages are a very convenient way for smokers to receive support to quit." "People described txt2stop as being like having a friend encouraging them or an angel on their shoulder.” "It helped people resist the temptation to smoke. The World Health Organization says nearly sixmillion die each year because of smoking, mostly in low-and middle-ine countries. “The lessons learned from the txt2stop trial could not only provide a new approach to stop in high-ine and middle-ine countries, but could also provide a useful starting point for implementing behavioural change in resource-poor settings." It has also been suggested similar text messages could be used to help people modify other behaviour.1.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Text Messages Help Smokers QuitB.How to Quit Smoking EffectivelyC.Smoking Is Very Harmful to HealthD.The Function of Text Messages2.How did the researchers judge if a participant had really given up?A.By sending text messages to the participant.B.By making saliva tests for cotinine.C.By observing the participant for five weeks.D.By making a questionnaire.3.The underlined “It” in the passage refers to _.A.a friendB.txt2stopC.an angelD.quitting smoking4.In which part of a website may the passage appear?A.Entertainment.B.Advertisement.C.Education.D.Health.7、 I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite oneits so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonalds, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites. Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nikes logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonalds The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the panys then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were bined together to form the M. The McDonalds name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple There are different stories behind Apples logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didnt stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoffs “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (輪廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes Benz The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The pany was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybachs elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a bination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.1.What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A.They are boring.B.They are attractiveC.They are out of date.D.They are practical2.What does Nikes logo stand for?A.The goddess of victoryB.The source of inspiration for soldiersC.The wing of the Greek goddessD.The statue of the Greek goddess3.We can learn that Apples present logo is_.A.the religious story of Adam and EveB.Newtons sitting under an apple treeC.a bitten apple with only one colorD.the rainbow-colored bitten apple4.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A.Nike McDonalds Apple Mercedes Benz.B.Mercedes Benz McDonalds Nike Apple.C.Mercedes Benz Apple Nike McDonalds.D.Nike Mercedes Benz McDonalds Apple.8、Ease neck and shoulder pain at the office If you work in an office, keeping neck and shoulder pain away may only take two minutes a day. A new study presented at the World Congress of the American College of Sports Medicine in Denver found that office workers doing two minutes of exercise a day reported lower levels of neck and shoulder pain after 10 weeks. The study by Danish researchers involved 198 office workers who had frequent neck and shoulder pain but were otherwise healthy. The workers did either a 2-minute or a 12-minute resistance exercise using elastic tubing. The exercise was a lateral raise, in which the upper arm is raised until it is horizontal and the arms are 10 to 15 inches from the body, says Lars Andersen, the lead researcher. After 10 weeks, the workers who had performed two minutes of daily exercise reported on average a 1.4-point decrease in pain on a 10-point scale. Workers who did 12 minutes of daily exercise had an even lower level of pain, but the difference was not very significant. Though the study may give new encouragement to workers to add even small amounts of exercise into their daily routines, the connection between lower levels of pain and exercise is well-documented, says Lynn Miller, a professor of physical therapy at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich., who was not involved in the study. Even short periods of exercise can help loosen up tight muscles and bring the body back into proper level, Miller says. Office-induced pain also can be reduced by making sure your workspace is set up properly. “For office workers,usually posture is not good," Miller says. Arms are often forward for prolonged periods, and reading a puter screen tends to bring the head into a forward position.1.In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?A.Entertainment.B.Sports.C.Business.D.Lifestyle.2.According to the passage, where did the researchers e from?A.Germany.B.America.C.Denmark.D.Britain.3.The third paragraph mainly tells us_.A.the reason why the study was carried outB.the people who carried out the researchC.how the study was carried out in detailD.how to exercise every day4.Which of the following words best describes Lynn Millers attitude towards the study result?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Shocked.D.Doubtful.完形填空9、閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從各題所給的四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and instantly became the worlds most recognizable and popular theme park.
