Depression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart

attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.

The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among

teens with mental disorders.

Therearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in

adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men

were diagnod（诊断）with a mental disorder.

The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack

by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was

20%higher among men with a diagnosis.

“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence em less likely to keep fitness in later

years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our rearch has also shown that low stress

resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking,

drinking and other drug u.”

“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart dia, particularly if people stay fit

as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Tho in poor health could

benefit from additional support to encourage exerci and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.

Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an

ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.

Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry

has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year,

becau the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities.

That feels like a " no" for many travelers.

Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only bad on their age. It's their level of fitness,

says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was

disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for

medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this ca, my advice is:

he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "

But some tour operators rve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to rve nior

members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company

spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”

If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent,

mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focud on keeping their good health, and are experienced

travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and

nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "

8. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year?

A. She can rent a car to go around.

B. She has to pay more insurance fees.

C. She can join in all kinds of activities.

D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.

9. What caud Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?

A. His old age. B. His lack of money.

C. His poor health. D. His in sociable personality.

10. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?

A. It is a non-profit traveling organization.

B. It offers rvice to a wide range of travelers.

C. It has a history of more than ven decades.

D. Its main customers are nior travelers.

11. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?

A. Oppod. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Objective.

D

Is homeschooling good or bad? That is a question that many parents ask themlves. In my opinion,

homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.

Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after

attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says.

“You're able to learn more and do more.”

Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With

homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances.

Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to

take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”

There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she

doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to e my friends every day.”

Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, ud to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school.

He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc

homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the class but the school

environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.

Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what

he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless

taking class at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I cho to go

to public school,” he says.

12. What does Kayla like about learning at home?

A. She can spend her time more freely. B. She can always stay with her siblings.

C. She can play the instruments she likes. D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.

13. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Concerns. B. Reasons. C. Changes. D. Problem.

14. Why did Matthew choo to go to public school?

A. He wanted to make more friends. B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.

C. He wanted to take all kinds of class wanted to experience the school environment

15. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?

A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Unclear.
