If you prefer doughnuts（炸面餅） to dumbbells（啞鈴）, you have a high chance of developing diabetes（糖尿�。� later in life. But if you wash down those doughnuts with at least seven cups of coffee a day, you are only half as likely as that.

The finding is “quite surprising and fairly dramatic”, says Bill Hartnett of UK Diabetes, although the patients’ group won’t be advising people to drink lots of coffee just yet. While there’s little evidence that one or two cups a day is harmful, some studies suggest that heavy coffee drinkers are unusually sensitive to pain, easier to fearful disorders and can also have higher blood pressure, which increase the risk of heart disease.

The study was done by Rob van Dam’s team at the National Institute for Public Health and Environment in the Netherlands, which analysed the data on 171,111 men and women. The team found that those who drank seven or more cups of coffee a day were 50 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who drank two cups of coffee or fewer a day. This was despite the fact that the heavy coffee drinkers tended to have sedentary （慣于久坐的） lifestyles, which increases the risk of developing diabetes.

“It’s too early to get excited,” warns Edwin Gale, a diabetes specialist in Britain at the University of Bristol. “It may just be that coffee drinkers behave differently,” he says.

Type 2 diabetes used to appear mainly in older people, but as levels of obesity （being fat） have increased in children, so has the disease in common. It’s a serious disorder―high blood sugar levels damage many organs, and can lead to anything from blindness to kidney（腎） failure.

It usually occurs when the body becomes less sensitive to insulin（胰島素）, the hormone that tells cells to take in too much blood glucose. Caffeine isn’t an obvious remedy （補(bǔ)救法） for type 2 diabetes, because its immediate effect is to lower sensitivity to insulin.

TIPPING

How much and who on your cruise（乘船旅游） should be tipped? When and how should tips be given? Generally, you should plan to tip your room steward （服務(wù)員） $3.00 to $3.50 per person, per day, and plan an equal amount for your dining room waiter, and half of that for the busboy（餐廳侍者助手）.

On most ships, tip the maitre d’（侍者總管） or dining room captain only if you ask for special favors or table-side service; $5 to $10 is normal. Barmen and wine stewards are tipped 10 to 15 percent, but many cruise lines will add this tip to your bar or drink bill. Check the bill to see how it is handled. Also, tips for special services such as salon && spa treatments and room service are left to the guest, depending on services offered. Sometimes tips are placed in envelopes from your cabin’s stationery supply. Generally, passengers on cruises of 10 days or less will tip at the end of the cruise； on longer voyages, tipping weekly.

As part of a new trend that seems likely to grow, Carnival, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess and Cunard now charge tips to your account （賬）. Norwegian, for example, charges $10 per day, per guest, to cover service in the various dining rooms and your room steward. If you feel this amount needs to be increased or decreased, arrangements can be made onboard the ship, generally at the end of your cruise.

A few lines do not encourage tipping, including Radisson Seven Seas, Seabourn, Silversea and Windstar. Crew members are reportedly higher paid and not tip dependent. Many passengers tip anyway for outstanding service or special favors and give them tips face to face immediately they get serviced.

NEW DELHI, India （AP）―India is fast becoming a top destination for tourists thanks to a forceful campaign to push the country’s Himalayan spas（礦泉名勝） and beaches, officials say.

Tourism officials have been crisscrossing the globe as part of the government’s “Incredible India” campaign launched in 2003. And the results are beginning to show. Tourists traveling to India have jumped by nearly 26 percent from last year and the number is expected to cross 3 million this year, said Amitabh Kant, chairman of the India Tourism Development Corp.

“Foreign exchange earnings, too, have shown a nearly 40 percent rise this year,” Kant told The Associated Press.

India’s earnings from tourism were $4.3 billion between January and November 2004, compared to $3.1 billion for the same period of 2003.

“Tourist figures are looking up, especially after the way the travel magazines are praising India,” Renuka Choudhury, India’s tourism minister, told reporters just before leaving for Spain and Italy to push the “Incredible India” campaign.

Conde Nast Traveler ranked India sixth among the world’s top 10 destinations in its annual readers’ traveler awards. India won top points for its cultural diversity, hospitality and good value for money.

Lonely Planet Online, the Website of the guidebook series, described India as among the top five international holiday destinations along with Thailand, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.

The “Incredible India” campaign focuses on the country’s scores of small, largely unexplored tourist spots, as well as India’s traditional healing arts. However, Choudhury noted at least 22 airports are being upgraded, with better signs, modern toilets, lounges and duty free shops. A tourist police force has been set up at airports, railway and bus terminals.

62. Tourism officials have been crisscrossing the globe to _______.

A. learn from resorts                B. strengthen communication

If you want to increase your vocabulary, the best way to do it might be to pick up a guitar, or learn the violin. A new study shows that learning to play a musical instrument makes the brain more able to remember words.

“Grown-ups with music training in their childhood can have better memory for words,” said Dr Agnes Chan of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, who did the research. “They can remember things that you tell them better than those who did not have music training when they were young.”

It seems that one can remember spoken words because his brain has a special part. “That part of the brain is larger in musicians than in non-musicians,” Dr Chan told BBC. “If that part of the brain is larger, it may be better developed and so this explains very nicely our results.”

Dr Chan and her workmates came to their conclusion after studying students. Their research is reported in the latest edition of the journal（雜志） Nature. “We did the experiment with 60 girl college students from our university and 30 of them have at least six years training with one western musical instrument （such as the violin and the piano） before the age of 12. The other 30 had received no music training. We tested their memory by reading them some words and asking them to remember these words―a very common test for memory. We found that people who have had music training can remember about 70% more information than those who have not had any music training.”

Dr Chan thinks the process（過程） of learning is more important than the actual instrument used. She also believes if one is able to remember words through learning to play instruments, he or she could have some very real benefits. Dr Chan thinks this could be developed into a medical way for patients who are suffering from memory loss.

59. According to the writer, learning to play a musical instrument helps to ______.

A. get more knowledge           B. live more happily

C. remember more words       D. make one become a musician

60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Dr Chan thinks people should have music training when they grow up.

B. Dr Chan thinks the special part of the brain needs developing.

C. Dr Chan thinks people should have music training when they are young.

D. Dr Chan thinks musicians have a larger part of the brain than non-musicians.

61. How many students took part in Dr Chan’s research?

A. 30 girl students.                          B. 60 girl students.

C. 17% of his students.                    D. 60 girl and boy students.

Last year we visited Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.

Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the center of England. The countryside around Stratford is pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.

The first place we visited was the house in the center of Stratford where Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.

After we had visited Shakespeare’s birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.

We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare’s time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door―the “Hamlet” room, the “Romeo and Juliet” room, and so on.

After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare’s day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.

When we got back to our hotel that evening, we were tired, but we had enjoyed a wonderful day.

56. Stratford is ______.

A. a church    B. in the middle of England    C. a very large city     D. a small village

A. in a cottage                       B. in an old hotel

C. writing new plays and growing flowers

Roger tried to pull his artificial leg 51, but instead it ended up being pulled off.

Roger’s love of sports 52 and so did his self-confidence. But not every obstacle gave way to Roger’s determination. “The only 53 between you and me is that you can see my handicap, but I can’t see yours. I haven’t overcome anything.
