For good health, be sure to eat fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and lie as seldom as possible. A researcher is hoping this advice will someday take hold, based on results of a "science of honesty" study she completed.
Half of 110 participants were told to stop telling major or minor ("white") lies for 10 weeks, while the other half (the control group) was given no special instructions about lying.
The 110 people ranged from ages 18 to 71 and came from both sexes and all income levels. All came to a laboratory each week to complete health and relationship questionnaires and to take a test showing the number of major and minor lies they had told that week.
When those in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than in other weeks, they complained less of headaches, tenseness, anxiety and other problems than those in the control group. In addition, they reported that their close personal relationships had improved and their social interactions(交往) had gone more smoothly.
“The link was that clear," said study author Anita Kelly, a professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. "Lying less was clearly associated with better health for those people."
Previous research indicates that Americans average 11 lies per week, from the little white lies to save face or falsely praise others to major lies about serious matters. Kelly said her study differs from former studies because it didn't focus on how to detect a liar, but on the potential health consequences of telling lies.
“People might recognize the more harmful effect lying can have on relationships, but probably don't recognize the extent to which it can cause a lot of stress," said Dr. Bryan Bruno at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
At the end of the study, some participants had created smart ways to avoid lying. Kelly noted that some realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily achievements rather than exaggerate(夸张), while others responded to a troubling question with another question to take the person’s attention away. They also stopped making false excuses for running late or failing to finish tasks.
“People usually think white lies are acceptable. In fact, white lies are trouble, not just major lies," Kelly said. "As long as you like, you can find effective ways to avoid lying in many cases. It depends on you.”
“But the goal doesn’t have to be the absolute absence of lies … the goal would be a reduction in lies,” she added.
According to the author, doing the following things is good for health EXCEPT              .

A．eating fruits and vegetables	B．exercising regularly
C．lying as seldom as possible	D．watching TV

The “science of honesty” study by Anita Kelly focused on           .

A．the effect lifestyles have on health.

B．the link between lying and health.

C．how to improve relationships

D．how to discover a liar.

Which of the following is TRUE about the research?

A．All the participants were adults.

B．The control group was asked to stop lying.

C．The participants had ten physical examinations.

D．All the participants were of the same income level.

The finding of the research is that           .

A．white lies help to improve relationships.

B．few people realize lying harms their health.

C．Americans tell 11 lies per week on average.

D．Lying less results in better health mentally and physically.

A.	You can know my personal meaning from my name--- Bachelor Button; If you are among those singles who can’t get away from self-pity, don’t worry. You can have me and thus be blessed with good fortune for your life--- I’m sure you’ll be envied by your married friends!
B.	Dear friend, maybe you’re troubled by endless everyday chores of all sorts --- the rent, bills of all kinds, a hateful boss, stupid gossip, quarrels with your beloved, a rebellious child… Don’t worry. Come to me, Bell of Ireland. Take me home and good fortune will be yours after you cast light over the darkness.
C.	I am Daisy, which means cooling you down. It’s not easy for you to be a match for me. I’m a loner in this word which can be too sophisticated. I keep wondering why people, who are pure, clean and true when they are young, tend to become less and less lovely when they get older. Please remain pure and true. I’m always so.
D.	Flowers are usually related to gaiety, love admiration, adoration, friendship… those happy sorts of things, but not for me. I’m useful when you feel guilty and want to say sorry to your beloved. Have you made your girl feel annoyed? Take me to her and you’ll win her back.
E.	Born elegant and noble, we Tulips are believed to the symbol of trust, the declaration of love, and unchangeable faith. We’ve often seen young men send their girls roses. But if a young man wants to send his girl the tulip, he must make sure whether his love is elegant and noble and faithful enough.
F.	I’m Zinnia. I don’t belong to those rare species. Go to parks, suburbs and mountains and you’ll find me everywhere--- on the sides of paths and rivers, under trees in weeds… you can’t avoid seeing me. That’s right; this is my meaning: “ Think of me every day.” Don’t forget me!

Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint ---- free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf- ----over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for_____.

A．attending the masters' class	B．working with local artists
C．seeing an exhibition	D．learning life drawing

"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are_____.

A．common insects	B．wildlife-enthusiasts
C．rarely-seen snakes	D．impressive plants

We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed_____.

A．to fear pet bears	B．to be a heavy drinker
C．to like walking	D．to finish university in 1805

What is the passage mainly about?

A．A way to become creative in art.

B．Some places for weekend break

C．The colourful life in the countryside.

D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University.

BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓) REGISTRATION

“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.”
—Daisy, Isabelle's Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle's body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血) every 4～6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.
