　　Why do men live a shorter life than women? The latest research in dicates that men's hearts going into a rapid decline when they reach middle age could be the cause.

　　The research of ageing on the heart has shown that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose much pumping power with age.

　　"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20 percent～25 percent between 20 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, Samantha of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

　　"Within the heart there are millions of cells which make it beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70, one­third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Samantha. "This is part of the ageing process."

　　What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70­year­old woman's heart could work almost as perfectly as a 20­year­old one's.

　　“This gender (性别) difference might give the reason why men live shorter than women,” said Samantha.They studied over 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 17 and 80, who are mainly healthy persons so as to reduce the influence of disease. "The team has yet to think about why ageing suffers a greater loss on the male heart," said Samantha.

　　But there is also good news-men can enjoy the health of their hearts with regular exercise. Samantha stressed that women should also take regular exercise to stop their leg muscles getting weaker as they age.

　　1. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph means "________".

　　D.hearts and long life

　　3. According to the text，the UK scientists have known that________.

　　A.men have fewer cells than women when they are born

　　B.women can produce the cells that make the heart beat

　　C.the female heart suffers less loss of the cells with age

　　D.women will never suffer the loss of pumping power with age

　　4. If you want to live a long life, you should________.

　　A.enable your heart to beat much faster

　　B.think about the reason for ageing

　　D.stop your cells from being lost

　　参考答案:

　　1. B 猜测词义题。根据第一段的第一句话“Why do men live a shorter life than women?”可推知“longevity”的意思是“长寿”。

　　2. D 主旨大意题。本文探讨了男人比女人寿命短的主要原因，那就是与心脏细胞数量的减少有关。男人的心脏细胞在20岁到70岁之间会丧失三分之一，因而心脏的能力降低了20%～25%，而女人的心脏细胞在这个年龄阶段几乎没有丧失。因此，本文的中心话题是心脏与长寿。

　　3. C 细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句“What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells.”可知答案为C。

　　4. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，男人经常进行锻炼可以拥有健康的心脏，女人经常进行锻炼可以抵制腿部的肌肉衰弱无力。因此，要想长寿，就要积极锻炼。
