When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While

__75__ He doesn't collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains(鄙视) companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and highpriced real villas. He is a creature of habit—same house, same office, same city, same soda water.

Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury death for Americans aged 65 and older?
Each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.
Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falls can be prevented.
Here are 4 simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.
Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling
● If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.
● Exercises can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age. Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.
● If you are over 50 and haven抰 exercised regularly, check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you.
Increase Your Home抯 Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling Risks
About half of all falls happen at home. To increase acceoussibility and make your home safer:
● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.
● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.
● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.
● Improve the lighting in your home.
● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.
● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.
You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.
Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side Effects
Age can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it抯 important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take. t
● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling . this especially important with over-the-conter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.
● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.
Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your Vision Checked Regularly
Vision problems can increase your chances of falling.
●You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.
●To reduce your risk of falling , have your vision checked by an eye doctor every nyear for early detection and correction of vision problems. If you can’t see something, it’s harder to avoid it, and this increase your risk of falling.

第二节 阅读表达（5小题；每题2分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据要求回答问题。
If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don抰 feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a newo day.
Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that_____________. Dr. Winkle says, 揟he more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night抯 sleep,?he addsewo, 搘e can often find the energy to deal with what抯 worrying us.?So, what is a good night抯 sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely edsewnough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. 揥hen you put the light out,?Dr. Winkle says, 揷oncentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you抣l be asleep before you know it.?1. What is the best title of the text? (Please answer within 10 words)
__ and _____________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
People shouldn抰 go to sleep immediately but should take a break after working late in the night.
___________d____________________________________________________________________
3. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
4. Someone says that the longer you sleep, the better you feel. Try to find some arguments from the text against the idea. (Please answer within 30 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 into Chinese.
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
1. Sleep and Your Life / Stress and Sleep /Sleep is Important
2. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed.
3. stress / worry and (lack of ) sleep are directly related
4. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
5. 当你醒来时，你不但没有感到精力充沛（旺盛），反而疲惫不堪，难以面对新的一天。
