She and her colleagues looked at the impact of nut consumption by analyzing two huge studies that began in 1980 - the Nurs’ Health Study, which tracks the well-being of more than 76,000 women, and 42,000 men enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Among the questions asked at the beginning of the studies was, 'how frequently do you eat nuts?'  The information was updated every two to four years. Bao says the participants were followed for three decades. “What we obrved is that people who eat more nuts are less likely to die over the next 30 years," said Bao. "So, for example, if a person eat(s) nuts once per day, that person has a 20 percent lower risk of dying.” Bao says eating a handful of nuts five or more times per week was associated with a 29 percent reduced risk of dying from heart dia and an 11 percent lower risk of cancer death.  A rving size is 28 grams. Nuts contain nutrients, including high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which have anti-cancer effects and may help protect the heart. Bao says rearchers are planning studies to find out how nuts are beneficial to human health. The study on the health benefits of nuts was funded by the International Tree Nut Council Rearch and Education Foundation.小题1:People who often eat nuts ________.A．are more likely to live longer than people who often eat fruitsB．don’t need to go to hospitalC．may live longer than people who don’t eat nutsD．don’t have to do sports小题2:The underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 2 shares the same meaning as “________”.A．illnessB．healthC．dietD．habit小题3:about Bao’s rearch, which statement is true?A．She has done the rearch by herlf.B．Her rearch was bad on two studies.C．Her rearch lasted about three years.D．People should eat all kinds of nuts every day.小题4:Eating nuts may help us stay away from ________.
