We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney（腎臟）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.

A．their bodies produce T-cells |
|
B．their bodies are unable to fight diseases |
|
C．they have reduced strength, loss of hair |
|
D．they become weaker and weaker |
3.We can probably learn from the passage that _________.
|
A．producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young |
|
B．the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health |
|
C．people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body |
|
D．it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is |

When Suzanne Kail, an English teacher at a public high school in Magnolia, Ohio, was told that she would be required to teach her students Latin and Greek word roots, she rolled her eyes. Kail believed in a progressive approach to education, in which active participation in meaningful learning was the most important. In an account of her experience in the English Journal, she wrote, “asking students to do rote memorization (機械記憶) was the opposite of what I believed in most.” Still, her department head insisted on it. She was sure her students wouldn’t like it, either.
Kail was surprised — as was anyone who took a look at the recent studies supporting the effectiveness of “old school” methods like memorizing math facts, reading aloud, practicing handwriting and so on. While the education world is all excited about so-called 21st-century skills like cooperation, problem solving and critical thinking, this research suggests that we might do well to add a strong dose (一劑) of the 19th century to our children’s schooling.
As soon as Kail began teaching her students the Greek and Latin origins of many English terms — that the root “sta” means “put in place or stand”, for example, and that “cess” means “to move or withdraw”— they eagerly began recognizing familiar words including the roots, like “statue” and “recess”. Kail’s students started using these terms in their writing, and many of them told her that their study of word roots helped them answer questions on the SAT and on Ohio’s state graduation exam. For her part, Kail reported that she no longer saw rote memorization as “evil”.
That’s also true of another old-fashioned method drilling math facts, like the multiplication table (乘法表). Although many progressive educators speak ill of what they call “drill and kill” (kill students’ love for learning, that is), rapid mental retrieval (檢索) of basic facts is required for doing more complex and more interesting kinds of math. The only way to achieve this, so far as anyone has been able to determine, is to practice and practice. Indeed, many experts have observed the wide gap between the math scores of American and Chinese students on international tests. Asian schools focus heavily on math facts. Failure to do so can effectively close off the higher realms (范圍) of mathematics — a study found that most errors made by students working on complex math problems were due to a lack of automaticity (自動性) in basic math facts.
60. What did Suzanne Kail think was the most important in learning at first?
A. Memorizing math facts. B. Problem solving ability.
C. Students’ active participation D Studying word roots...
61. How does the study of word roots benefit students?
A. It helps students build a large vocabulary more easily.
B. It provides students with motivation for rote memorization.
C. It helps students break up their conventional thinking.
D. It gives students more knowledge about Greek and Latin.
62. Why is there a gap between the math scores of American and Chinese students?
A. Because American students’ love for learning has been killed.
B. Because American students are not very familiar with basic math facts.
C. Because Chinese students have a higher math level than American students.
D. Because Chinese students are becoming more creative than American students.
63. The author might NOT approve of .
A. using rote memorization B. abandoning 21st-century methods
C. practicing handwriting D. remembering basic math facts repeatedly
