Researchers found they were linked with a reduced risk of death from heart disease among people on low ines. And they believe their findings suggest peanuts may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular(心血管) health because they are so cheap.However, experts cautioned today that salt-covered nuts would not have the same health benefits. Nuts are rich in nutrients and peanuts, although classified as one bean, have nutrients similar to tree nuts. The new study, led by Dr Xiao-Ou Shu, of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Tennessee, analysed various groups of people. One involved 72,000 low-ine black and white men and women living in the US, the other 134,000 men and women living in Shanghai, China. In both groups, men ate more peanuts than women. In the US group, about half of the nuts consumed were peanuts, and in the Chinese group only peanut consumption was considered. The researchers found that overall, eating nuts reduced the risk of death from heart disease. This was regardless of gender, race, body condition, smoking, alcohol consumption and conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and obesity.In the US, the highest consumption resulted in a risk reduction of 21 per cent.In the Chinese group, it was 17 per cent.Dr Shu said: We observed no significant associations between nut or peanut consumption and risk of death due to cancer and diabetes. She added the findings highlight the large public health impact of nut or peanut consumption in lowering deaths from heart disease - especially for their affordability. The research was published in JAMA Internal Medicine. Dr Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of the journal, added: Of course, peanuts are not really nuts - they are legumes since they grow in bushes, unlike tree nuts. But who cares if they help us to live longer at an affordable price?25. Peanuts are considered very useful in improving heart health mainly because_.ANuts are rare.B. peanuts and nuts are the same.CPeanuts are peoples favorite.D. People can afford to buy peanuts.26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Peanuts have no effects on cancer.B. The Chinese eat less peanuts than Americans.C. Peanuts are classified as nuts.D. People care if they can live longer.27. In paragraph 2,the underlined word “cautioned” is probably the closest to_.A. concerned B. announced C. warnedD. doubted28. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Peanuts: a best nutB. More peanuts, fewer deaths.C. Peanuts: a medicine for all D. Peanuts: Peoples favoriteI had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer.

It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyoneeven my wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(马厩). “I wouldnt leave her out in the cold!” he said. Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldnt let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.29. What do we know about Milly from the story?AShe was the farmers secret lover.
