Scientists say they have developed a way of testing how well, or badly, your body is ageing. They say it could be applied in many ways.

A team at King’s College London says looking at ^biological age+ is more useful than using a date of birth. However, the work, published in Genome Biology, provides no clues as to how to slow the ageing process.

The team says while some lifestyle decisions, like spending all day on the sofa, could be bad for your health, they do not appear to affect the speed of your body ageing. The team believes combining lifestyle factors and your biological age would give a more accurate picture of your health.

The researchers tried the test out on samples from a group of 70-year-old men in Sweden. They worked out who was ageing well and who was ageing very rapidly and

were able to predict who would die in the next few years.

There are plans to apply the test to organ transplant(器官移植)in the UK to see if people who are technically old, but have a young “biological age”，can still donate organs safely. The researchers say it could also change cancer detection, with people who are ageing rapidly needing to be screened(篩查)at a younger age.

Professor Jamie Timmons, from King’s College London, said the test would also forma useful tool in predicting the beginning of dementia(癡呆癥).He also said, “It raises a number of questions , and fierce debate , but it helps predict when a person will die. ”

Dr Neha Issa-Brown , from the UKS Medical Research Council ? said , “This new test holds great potential as with further research it may help improve .he development of treatments that lengthen good health in older age.”

Dr EricKarran，from the charity Alzheimer’s(老年癡呆癥)Research UK, said, “There is much interest in developing a blood test for diseases like Alzheimer’s but such a test would need to be strictly tested to show it is accurate and sensitive before it could be used in the clinic. ”

24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to slow the ageing process.

B. The theory of the ageing process.

C. How to test your biological age.

D. The value of biological age.

25. We can learn from the research that .

A. biological age is as useful as actual age

B. it gives clues about how to slow the ageing process

C. biological age and lifestyles can reflect one’s health

D. unhealthy lifestyles can accelerate the ageing process

26. What does the underlined word, “well”? in the fourth paragraph probably mean?

A. Slowly. B. Quickly. C. Normally. D. Completely.

27. What can we infer about the blood test in the last paragraph?

A. It aims at testing Alzheimer’s.

B. It is being used in the clinic.

C. It is accurate and sensitive enough.

D. It cannot be applied to medical practice yet.

Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry were having dinner with their new investors. The 27-year-old businessmen had finally gotten a million dollars to start their company, but it came with high financial targets. It turned out that this was the least of their problems that night. Ryan recalls, “When .was time to pay for dinner, none of our credit cards worked，because we had used up all our credit. Eventually, we persuaded the restaurant owner that we could be trusted for the money.”

In the eight years since that embarrassing moment，Ryan and Lowry have built Method into the world’s largest eco-friendly cleaning brand. Their green products use natural ingredients like corn，coconut oil and palm oil and are packed in attractive， recyclable containers. In the process， they changed the perception (感覺，看法)of green home-care products—and the industry, too.

Ryan and Lowry had been friends since high school，but t wasn’t until after college that they hit on the idea of a home-care-product company. “We were shocked to learn how poisonous cleaning products were，” says Ryan. Why couldn’t they create green products that would be fashionable，fragrant and environmentally harmless?

When Ryan’s mother heard about the plan，she stared at him blankly，“I’ve never even seen you clean your room!”Not discouraged，Lowry，the chemical engineer， began experimenting with non-poisonous ways to clean，while Ryan，the advertising guy, focused on marketing. In February 2001，they created their first four cleaning sprays and convinced the managers of 20 independent grocers to try them.

When they launched their triple-concentrated detergent(三倍強度洗滌劑"they got rid of the huge bottles that were the industry standard. ^We made them easier to handle，and better for the environment，” says Ryan. “Now，almost all detergents are concentrated. ”

Consumers enjoyed the natural ingredients and unusual pleasant smell like ginger，yuzu，lychee and ylang-ylang. Today，the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores，and their incomes are more than $ 100 million. Such hyper-growth(高速増長)has at times stressed the men’s friendship. “Eric and I agree on the ‘what’ but never on the ‘how’” says Lowry. “Because we are willing to challenge each other， we come up with interesting and smart solutions. There’s a little bit fire and ice between us.”

28. The first paragraph tells us that .

A. Ryan and Lowry had difficulty finding investors

B. the dinner cost so much that Ryan and Lowry couldn’t afford t

C. Ryan and Lowry needed money to start their business

D. the restaurant owner didn’t trust Ryan and Lowry

29. What was Ryan’s mother’s attitude toward his plan to create green cleaning products?

B. were the first to produce green cleaning products

C. did the same major in university

D. often argued over how to run their business

31.The text is mainly about .

A. how two guys made millions selling green cleaning products

B. how a green cleaning business was developed

C. how green cleaning products have become popular with consumers

D. the importance of friendship in running a business

In 1977，a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact： we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice，but we don’t.

Dr. Peto’s argument was simple. Every time a cell divides，there’s a small chance it will gain a mutation(突變"hat speeds its growth. Cells that accumulate several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is，the more cells it has，and the longer an animal lives， the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo about 10, 000 times as many cell divisions as mice—and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.

A number of scientists have assumed that large， long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise， these species would become extinct.

Dr. Joshua D. Schiffman，an oncologist (腫瘤學家)at the Huntsman Cancer Institute，reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast， 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.

To understand the elephants’ defenses，the scientists investigated a gene that isvital to preventing cancer ? called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes，the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.

To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer，they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.

In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide ? said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.

Patricia Muller , an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester , who was not involved in the studies , said the results , though convincing , didn’t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don’t actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead , they may act as decoys(誘餌)for enzymes(酶)that destroy p53 proteins.

Dr. Muller said lt was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.

32. What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?

A. Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.

B. Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.

C. The bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer t has.

D. Dr. Peto’s argument was not simple.

33. According to the passage, p53 is .

A. a protein to prevent cancer B. a gene to defend against cancer

C. a protein to destroy damaged cells D. a gene to change cells

34. What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?

A. They cause the cells to repair the genes.

B. They stop cells from dividing further.

C. They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.

D. They cause the cells to commit suicide.

35. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don’t have more cancer than mice.

B. The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.

C. The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.

D. Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.
