第二部分 阅读理解满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There is no denying that some people live to be older than others. Followed arc the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？ Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you I would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
1、The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is .
A．to see whether people's personality affects their life span
B．to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
C．to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
D．to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
2、What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A．They have a good understanding of evolution.
B．They are better at negotiating an agreement.
C．They generally appear more resourceful.
D．They are more likely to get over hardship.
3、What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
A．Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.
B．Advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times
C．Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.
D．Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Anxiety and depression cut one's life span short.
B．Longevity results from mental and physical health.
C．Personality plays a decisive role in longevity.
D．Health is in large part related to one's life style.

B
These devices were among the thousands featured at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, a conference that brings industry experts together to share the latest and greatest in tech.
A food baby-friendly belt
College students are familiar with “food babies,” big stomachs caused by eating a little — okay, a lot — too much. This smart belt automatically adjusts to your stomach size. That’s right. When you overeat, Belty expands with your stomach.
“You’ll definitely know how many months into the pregnancy you are,” jokes Steve Greenberg, author of Gadget Nation, who just got back from CES.
If you don’t want to use Belty while pigging out, you can take advantage of its health-related features instead. Along with shifting size, Belty tracks food intake and exercise. It even vibrates(振动) if you’ve been inactive too long.
The Rocket Power characters’ dream product
Most students walk, bike or skate across campus. But with Rocketskates, which are electronic, motorized skates tied to your regular shoes, you can move very quickly.
The skate’s wheels, which are run by a microprocessor, get going when you lean forward and stop when you lean back. Top speed is 12 miles per hour, meaning you could leave your dorm at 7:56 and be on time for your 8:00 class. And you can carry them afterwards, since they’re light-weight.
A magical microwave
Most 3D printers turn plastic into 3D objects. But XYZprinting’s version turns flour and chocolate into cookies, cake and candy.
The printer, which is about the same size as a traditional all-in-one version, is simple to use. You select a 3D food item from the company’s database of “recipes”, all of which have been approved by a food specialist. Within minutes, your food is ready.
The “why hasn’t someone invented this sooner” phone charger
Everyone knows college students are busy — mostly because we take every available opportunity to say so.
The StoreDot FlashBattery can’t solve scheduling issues for smart phones, but it does make life easier by completely charging them in one minute.
Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO, calls the battery’s quick-charging time “ideal” for college students. He even visualizes free StoreDot stations on campus that would make carrying a charger unnecessary.
1、What’s the main function of Belty?
A．To track food intake and exercise.
B．To warn you it’s time to get up and exercise.
C．To predict how long a person has been pregnant.
D．To make your stomach comfortable by shifting size.
2、Which of the following is true about Rocketskates?
A．It is powered by your feet.
B．It can run as fast as a car.
C．You may start it by leaning forward.
D．It is too heavy to carry by hand.
3、How does the new 3D printer differ from traditional versions?
A．It is much smaller in size. B．It turns flour into 3D food.
C．It turns plastic into 3D objects. D．It is operated by a food specialist.
4、Which of the following is true?
A．The author believes college students are very busy.
B．Free StoreDot stations are available on campus now.
C．The FlashBattery charges a phone unbelievably quickly.
D．Doron Myersdorf is not satisfied with the FlashBattery.
