　　There was a sweet smell of incense (香) in the air as the well­muscled man moved his legs into a position well behind his head.It was something that the human body really should not be able to do.But what else would you expect at the First World Yoga Championships?
　　On September 25，the world’s leading yoga experts arrived in the US to find out who was the best.But the real prize was to turn yoga into a proper Olympic event.
　　“Yoga is a combination of bodybuilding，Miss World，Mr Universe and gymnastics，” said championship organizer Bikram Choudhury.“There are some 70 people from more than 20 countries competing in this event.Why not have yoga at the Olympics?”
　　The public cannot decide whether or not Choudhury’s dream will come true.But he is right about one thing：yoga has become popular with young and old people all over the world.In the US alone,15 million people practise yoga.Everyone is at it，including Madonna and Ricky Martin.
　　Yoga started in India more than 5,000 years ago.The name means “to join together”.That is to bring the body and mind together into one pleasing experience.The whole system of yoga is built on three things：exercise，breathing and meditation (沉思).
　　The yoga that we know today is mostly physical yoga.It’s seen as a type of exercise，but is different from sports like football or running.When we do yoga，we move our body into positions that stretch the muscles and joints，making them stronger.
　　One of the best things about yoga is the fact that everyone can do it.To women，it means a flat stomach，more shapely legs and a graceful body.To men，it is a way of becoming stronger and more athletic.
　　There are also specially­designed yoga classes for pregnant women or children suffering from mental disabilities，such as autism (孤独症).As for teenagers，meditation and simple breathing exercises can help them learn to calm down，relax and concentrate better.But teenagers under 16 are not supposed to do the body exercises as it could have a bad effect on their natural growth.
　　1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
　　A.Something sportsmen should not do in practising yoga.
　　B.Basic skills that are required in performing yoga.
　　C.The performance of the sportsmen at the First World Yoga Championships.
　　D.The unique setting where yoga is performed.
　　2.What is Choudhury’s dream in the passage?
　　A.Turning yoga into a proper Olympic event.
　　B.Making all Americans practise yoga.
　　C Winning the First World Yoga Championships.
　　D.Getting the public support for promoting yoga.
　　3.Why does the author mention Madonna and Ricky Martin in the fourth paragraph?
　　A.To compare the differences between the young and the old.
　　B.To describe the extensive popularity of yoga in the US.
　　C.To emphasize the importance of practising yoga.
　　D.To explain the strong influence of public figures in the US.
　　4.Which statement is NOT true about yoga?
　　A.It is a type of exercise which benefits the body and mind.
　　B.It makes muscles and joints stronger by stretching.
　　C.It contains exercise，breathing and meditation.
　　D.It is similar to the sports like football or running.

　　A.Women to be mothers.　　 B.Teenagers under 16.
　　C.Adult men.　　 D.Children with autism.

　　Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more agile (敏捷的) and independent than their peers over time, according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people.
　　Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals (抗氧化化学物质) that may help stop the cell damage that can lead to disease.Researchers have been studying green tea’s effect on everything from cholesterol (胆固醇) to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far.
　　They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing.
　　Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day.
　　The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.Green tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education，lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness.They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on.But even with those factors accounted for，green tea itself was tied to a tower disability risk，the researchers said.
　　People who drank at least five cups a day were one­third less likely to develop disabilities than those who had less than a cup per day.Those people who averaged three or four cups a day had a 25 percent lower risk.
　　Although it’s not clear how green tea might offer a buffer (缓冲) against disabilities，lead researcher Yasutake Tomata did note that one recent study found green tea extracts (提取物) seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.
　　While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could affect drugs that prevent blood clotting (凝固).
　　6.What does the underlined word “peers” mean in the first paragraph?
　　A.Fathers.
　　B.Brothers.
　　C.People of the same age.
　　D.People living in the same neighborhood.
　　7.What can be learned from the passage?
　　A.Antioxidant chemicals can lead to disease.
　　B.Those who often drink green tea can’t develop “functional disability”.
　　C.“Functional disability” is related to problems with daily activities or basic needs.
　　D.People who drink at least five cups a day are not likely to become functionally disabled.
　　8.What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?
　　A.How the study was proved.
　　B.Why green tea lovers can keep agile.
　　C.What healthier diets include.
　　D.How to lower the disability risk.
　　9.What has the researcher Yasutake Tomata discovered?
　　A.Those who drank green tea can’t develop “functional disability”.
　　B.Green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.
　　C.How green tea might offer a buffer against disabilities.
　　D.Green tea extracts seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.
　　10.From the passage we can infer that________.
　　A.vitamin K is contained in caffeine
　　B.vitamin K is good for our blood
　　C.vitamin K is bad for our health
　　D.vitamin K has influence on some drugs
