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 aged 3 45 and 79.
The seven-year study found that men 4 walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes a day had a 34 percent lower 5 of dying 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 percent.
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 with data on cancer diagnosis and death officially recorded in a central cancer registry (登记簿) over a seven-year 9 .

Part Ⅴ TranslationDirections: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
1. The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of telling how it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome (it was before the time of railways) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun's beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars.
老太太总以自家花园里那棵高大的玫瑰树为荣。她非常喜欢告诉别人,那枝数年前她初次结婚时从意大利带回来的枝条,是如何长成如今这般高大的。那时,她与丈夫乘马车从罗马旅行归来(那时还没有火车),途经锡耶纳南部的崎岖路段时,马车坏了,他们被迫就宿于路边的小屋里。住宿条件当然非常差;她一夜未能安眠,一早便起身穿好衣服,立于窗前,感受着扑面而来的习习凉风,等待着黎明的到来。事隔多年,她仍然记得那情景。明月高悬在青山群峦之上。远处山峰上的小镇逐渐明亮起来,月亮慢慢消退,晨曦把群山涂得粉红。突然之间,一束阳光照亮了城镇。城里的窗户相继明亮起来,反射出耀眼的光芒。最后,整个小城宛若繁星,在天空中不停闪烁。

1.现在很多年轻人每个月都把自己赚的钱花光,他们被称作“月光族”
2.有人认为这是一种时尚的消费观念,但很多人反对这样消费
3.你的看法
The Moonlight Clan (月光族)
Nowadays, more and more people, especially the youngsters are joining in the army of "the moonlight clan". These people exhaust their earnings every month without any savings. Many people think this is a fashionable life style, while other people object to this kind of consumption style.
Those who support "the moonlight clan" think that "the moonlight clan" knows how to enjoy life and have a higher life quality. However, other people criticize "the moonlight clan". They say that the consumption habit of "the moonlight clan" is unhealthy and sometimes wasteful. In addition, no savings will place "the moonlight clan" in a difficult position in case of unexpected expenses.
Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one. In my eyes, though "the moonlight clan" may acquire temporary satisfaction from their consumption, in the long term, it is unfavorable to their family and career. Just as a proverb says, one should always prepare for a rainy day.
