67.What is the author's attitude toward Charoulette? A.Positive. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Negative. D If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece shows that living in the mountains is good for the heart and longevity. People living at higher altitude have lower possibility of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk."Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a 'protective effect' from heart disease," said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens.He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous area gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen. Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years.One village was 1,000 metres above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas.Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other villages, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a fifteen year follow-up."The contrast was more evident among men than among women," Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.Heart disease is one of the world's top killers.Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, being overweight or obese and a family history of the illness increase the odds of developing the disease. 查看更多

C
I'm really nervous opening Chatroulette (a website).I don't know if I'm more scared of the possibility of coming face-to-face with a naked (裸体的) guy doing improper things, or the possibility of having to speak to someone normal.But it's that uncertainty that's caused the "game" to explode into an Internet phenomenon.
So, I hesitantly click "play".My face appears in a small box to the left of the screen.I'm a 22-year-old guy, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and sitting in my warmly lit bedroom —not too threatening, I think.Believing I look welcoming and friendly, I open all features: visual, audio and text.The user can disable these at any time if they feel uncomfortable.
Quickly I find myself face-to-face with my first "partner".A guy with glasses is staring back at me.He looks like he spends too much time in front of the computer."Hey", I say, "how are you going?" "Good," says the guy.Sensing that he was not going to be very talkative, I hit the "next" button.
Just like that, I'm thrown across the world into someone else's bedroom.This time it looks like a middle-aged woman.I must have hit gold because 85 percent of Chatroulette users are male, according to the Wall Street Journal.She's wearing sunglasses and smiles back.Before I can even say a word, she "nexts" me."WHAT?!"
Then, I fly through the Internet and arrive at my next partner.My nightmare, a man is sitting in his computer chair half-naked taking off his pants.Argghh! "Next, next, next!" For the next 30 minutes I keep my cursor (光标) over the "next" button.My experiences continue to be short, shocking, and largely uninteresting.I discouragingly hit "next" after seeing another naked man, and decide to end my session and close the window.This wasn't "the new social media experience" I was hoping for.Maybe it was just a little bit too random (随机的).
64.It is the author's __________ that leads him into Chatroulette.
A.curiosity          B.unwillingness    C.enthusiasm          D.ignorance
65.The underlined word "disable" in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A.store                  B.close                C.misuse                D.copy
66.Among all the partners, __________ seemed to be the least interested in talking with the author.
A.the guy with glasses                      B.the middle-aged woman
