Lily's Chinese 对话

20240123罗曼罗兰致高尔基的信

Listening comprehension. Listen to this passage about our school and our responsibilities

Sikiliza kipengee hiki kuhusu shule yetu na jukumu letu 

Swahili With Shaz 

Shule Yetu Jukumu Letu 

People who spend a lot of time sitting down might reduce their health risks by drinking coffee, a new study suggests.

Researchers from China wanted to look at the health effects of coffee drinking and time spent sitting.

They looked at health data for nearly 11,000 people in the US and followed them for up to 13 years.

During the period of the study, 945 people died, including 284 from heart disease.

The research team found that people who sat for over eight hours a day were almost 50% more likely to die from all causes, and nearly 80% more likely to die from heart disease.

That's compared to people who sat for fewer than four hours per day.

Sitting for a long time has been linked to increased risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and more.

The researchers also found that people who drank the most coffee — three or more cups per day — reduced their risk of death from all causes by over 30% compared to those who drank no coffee. And they were more than 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

And drinking coffee even seemed to protect people from the health risks of sitting down: coffee drinkers could sit for more than six hours a day and still have about the same risk of death as non-coffee drinkers who sat for less than six hours.

However, the researchers said they didn't look at the effects of different types of coffee on our health, so they couldn't be sure which type was best.

They wrote that more research would be needed on this "miracle" drink.

《水》
        科学证明，人一星期不吃东西还能存活，而缺了水却不能生存。禾苗、花草、树木没有水的滋润，就要枯萎，动物离开了水，就会灭亡。所以无论是生活用水、生产用水、农田灌溉，水都与我们的生活息息相关。
　　地球上的水源似乎取之不尽，但是你知道吗，地球上的水虽然很多，据估计水的总体积约为13.8亿立方公里。但是十分可惜，这些水98%是咸水，主要分布在海洋中。淡水只占地球水总量的2%，而这2%的淡水也不能全为人类所饮用，因为它的88%被冻在两极的冰帽和冰川里，剩下的12%即河流、湖泊和能开采的浅层地下水才可为人类饮用，其中绝大多数又为地下水，不能开采不能饮用，可直接饮用的河流湖泊中的水，只占淡水总量的0.04%。
　　地球上的水，总是处在变化之中，海洋和陆地上的水蒸发到大气中，再形成雨或雪落回大地，滋养万物，补充河流、湖泊或注入大海。水还会渗入地下，汇入地下蓄水层。极深的地下水不能补充，也不能开采，被称为原生水，因为不能再生。正因为水资源的这种流动性质，因而形成陆地的水涝或干旱，造成水资源分布不均衡。所以，地球上可供我们饮用的水资源非常非常少，大家可一定要珍惜每一滴水！

1）关于可以直接饮用的水，下面哪项正确？
    A 资源很丰富
    B  只占总体水资源的小部分
    C  河流湖泊中有很多
    D  地球上的淡水都能饮用

2）根据这段话，“原生水”是什么意思？
   A  蒸发到大气中的水
   B  雨水
  C  地下深层的水
   D  可以再生的水

3）根据短文，为什么会有水涝或干旱？
    A  水是流动的
    B  有的地方不会下雨
    C  有的地方离海很远
    D  水向低处流

4）根据短文，可以知道什么？
    A  水资源会越来越多
    B  水是不变的
    C  水资源很平均
    D  没有水就没有生命
