About 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期).That means they have blood sugar that's higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11% of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probably become type 2 in 10 years or less.

  Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels.

  If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis:

  Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200.Droping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%.

  Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too.

  Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check.

  Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-diabetes; 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes; and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucose tolerance and A1C, also are used to monitor blood sugar.

What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 1?(  )

  • A. Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2
  • B. Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes
  • C. Pre-diabetes is ranked No.1 danger threatening Americans' health
  • D. Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years

Other tests, including glucose tolerance and A1C, also are used to monitor blood sugar.

To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to____.(  )

  • A. heart disease
  • B. glucose levels

About 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期).That means they have blood sugar that's higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11% of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probably become type 2 in 10 years or less.

  Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels.

  If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis:

  Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200.Droping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%.

  Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too.

  Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check.

  Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly.

Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?(  )

Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.

  Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇) of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,” he says from his office in New York. “It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it's forced upon them in schools.”

  Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says: one story per issue.

  Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It's not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the 'Twilight' characters and the 'Harry Potter' characters, they feel very contemporary.”

  Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at

Who is Patrick Ryan?(  )

  • A. He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”

Couples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We're now up to nearly 3.7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3.3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child.

  Financial worries aren't the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as £222,500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years.

  The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child.

  It may not be a bad thing; there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Pacino, golfer Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showed that the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection—which sometimes descends into physical fights—is more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it's not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.

The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to____.(  )

  • A. health problems
  • B. financial problems
  • C. cultural problems
  • D. technical problems

At first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “In the past, many people couldn't read or write,” says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people.”

  Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces.

  Travel Tips

  When to Go: June—October; weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups.

  Where to Stay: Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron.

  How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.

  Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-story Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service (helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L' Accigua and Da Buco.

  What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers.

  What to Read Before You Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis (2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city's art, architecture, and history.

In ancient times, mosaics were used to____.(  )

  • A. explain religion and politics
  • B. display artistic achievements
  • C. teach reading and writing
  • D. compete with Roman paintings
