3．Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．
Wide uptake of cholesterol-busting statin drugs（降膽固醇藥），healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular（心血管的） problems．
However，heart disease remains Britain's biggest killer．
The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．
Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova-see more than 1，000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．
Overall，heart disease causes 45percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．
But researchers said that across Europe  it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said："Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41per cent among men．"

11．Scientists study the natural world by using"scientific method"．When a scientist observes some phenomenon in nature，he develops an idea，called a theory or hypothesis （假設(shè)），about what is happening．Then he does an experiment to test his theory．If the results are as expected，then the experiment proves the hypothesis which makes it more likely that the theory is correct．If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected，then the scientist must come up with a new theory that he can test．
   In ancient times great thinkers came up with complicated theories to explain nature，but they did not always prove them by experiment．For example，the great Greek thinker Aristotle，had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects．People believed this until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it was wrong．
    Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory：
    Step 1：Get an empty bottle with a small neck．A diameter （直徑） of 1/2 inch should be ideal．
    Step 2：Cut a sheet of paper to a square 5 inches on each si de．
    Step 3：Crumple （壓皺） the paper into a tight wad （塊狀物）．
    Step 4：Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely in the neck of the bottle．
    Construct a theory about what will happen if you put your mouth about a half inch from the neck of the bottle and blow hard towards it．A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle by the force of the breath．Now do your experiment to see what really happens．
    If your theory was that the wad would be blown by the force of the air into the bottle，the experiment gave you unexpected results．In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction．A new theory might be that the air being blown into the bottle creates a whirlwind （旋風(fēng)） of air currents （氣流） in the closed space which push the wad out．
29．The writer mentions Aristotle's theory to showD．
A．he was a greater thinker in ancient times
B．he was less successful than Galileo
C．objects of different weights fall at the same speed
D．experiments are necessary to support theories
30．According to the passage，what is not required in the four-step experiment？A
A．A pair of scissors．
B．A piece of paper．
C．A bottle．
D．A strong breath．
31．What's the best title for the passage？D
A．Come to Nature with Scientists          
B．Make up a New Theory
C．Experiment with Breath in a Bottle      
D．Watch Out for Common Sense．

15．For many people，particularly immigrants，the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House．Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House，yet he managed tomake his own dream come true．
He came from a farm in Italy．One evening I found him standing behind my garage．
"I mow （割草） your lawn，"he said．It was hard to comprehend his broken English．
I asked him his name．"Tony Trivisonno，"he replied．"I mow your lawn．"I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener．
"I mow your lawn，"he said again，then walked away．Yes，these Depression days were difficult，but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help？
When I got home from work the next evening，the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept．I asked mywife what had happened．
"A man had worked on the yard，"she answered．"I thought you had hired him．"
I told her of my experience the night before．We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay．
The next Friday，I saw Tony again，behind the garage．I praised him for the work he had done．
"I mow your lawn，"he said．
I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay，and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks．My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix．
Summer passed into fall，and winds blew cold．"Mr．Craw，snow pretty soon，"Tony told me one evening．"When winter comes，you give me job clearing snow at the factory．"
Well，how do you deal with such determination and hope？Of course，Tony got his job at the factory．
One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage．"I want to be apprentice （學(xué)徒）"he said．
We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers．But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work．Still，how could I turn him down？
Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice．Months later，I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder （磨工）．My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved．
A year or two passed，and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place．"Mr．Craw，"he said，"I like to buy a house．"In the town，he had found a completely old house for sale．
I called on a banker friend．"Do you ever loan money on character？"I asked．"No，"he said．
"Now，wait a minute，"I replied．"Here is a hard-working man，a man of character，I can promise you that．He's got a good job．And he will pay your interest．"
   Unwillingly，the banker loaned Tony 2，000 and helped him buy the house．Tony was delighted．From the non，it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
   After about two years，I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot．He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident．
"Mr．Craw，I sell the house and buy a farm．"
   We sat down and talked．He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．With asatisfied look in his eye，he told me that when they came to his little farm，his friend stood in amazement and said，"Tony，you are a millionaire!"
   Then，during the World WarⅡ，news came from my company that Tony had passed away．
   When my people came to visit his family，they found the farm green with vegetables，the little house comfortable and homey．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
   Tony，as well as all the greatest American businessmen，had reached their success in the same way and by the same values：vision，determination，optimism，self-respect and，above all，honesty．
   Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream．But he didn't find it-he created it for himself．All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them．
55．Why did Tony repeat"I mow your lawn"？A
A．He was determined to get a chance to work．
B．He asked for pay for his excellent garden work．
C．He thought he was good at garden work．
D．He was ready to help others out．

B．Tony persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．
C．Any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
D．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
57．What did the author mean by saying"Do you ever loan money on character"？B

C．He was begging the banker to help Tony for the sake of their personal relation．
