Exercise Can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics

    Most older people with so-called type H diabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week, according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende on Monday.
    Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet"s Center for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body"s ability to utilise insulin by 30 per cent, the newspaper reported.
    This is equal to¹ the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today，it said.        ‘、
    Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type n, all more than 60 years of age, exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months. After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects" muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked.²
     Associate Professor³ Dr. Flemming Dela of the MuscleResearchCentersaid the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non?exercising persons.
    "This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups. Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,⁴ but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms. At the same time it can put off⁵ the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment，” Dela was quoted as saying.⁶
    Insulin isa hormone produced by the pancreas，controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
　　Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up⁷ a sweat, but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off⁸ after five days without sufficient exercise.
　　Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of⁹ the importance of exercise, Dela added.

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。
B
Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.

A:His daughter does better in school. B:His daughter has got a master’s degree. C:His son tried hard to finish homework. D:His son couldn’t write his book reports.

Marriage, and its many ups and downs, still exercises a powerful hold over newspapers, magazines and the airwaves. Nearly 23m Americans watched Prince William being joined in holy marriage to Kate Middleton. Millions more have indulged in the break-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage after revelations that he fathered a son with a maid.
Less delightful are revelations about the sorry state of marriage across the United States. Data from the Census Bureau show that married couples, for the first time, now make up less than half of all households.
The iconic American family, with mom, dad and kids under one roof, is fading. In every state the numbers of unmarried couples, childless households and single-person households are growing faster than those comprised of married people with children, finds the 2010 census. And the trend has a potent class dimension. Traditional marriage has evolved from a near-universal ritual to a luxury for the educated and affluent.
There barely was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates(76％ versus 72％). The gap has since widened to 16 percentage points, according to the Pew Research Centre.
"Marriage has become much more selective, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down," said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only a third as high as for those with a high-school degree.
Americans with a high-school degree or less tell researchers they would like to marry, but do not believe they can afford it. Instead, they raise children out of wedlock. Only 6％ of children born to college-educated mothers were born outside marriage, according to the National Marriage Project. That compares with 44％ of babies born to mothers whose education ended with high school.
"Less marriage means less income and more poverty," reckons Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She and other researchers have linked as much as half of the income inequality in America to changes in family composition: single-parent families (mostly those with a high-school degree or less) are getting poorer while married couples (with educations and dual incomes) are increasingly well-off. "This is a striking gap that is not well understood by the public," she says.
Do not expect the Democratic Party, however, to make an issue of the marriage gap in next year’s elections. Unmarried women voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. "You don’t want to suggest to someone who isn’t married and has children that they should be married," says Ms Sawhill. "That is a scorn on their lifestyle./
Which of the following would the author most probably agree on

A:Brides are more likely to have a college degree than they were. B:Educated men don’t mind marrying women with a high-school degree. C:Couples don’t end in divorce because both are well-educated. D:The soaring cost of divorce prevents Americans from divorce.
