M：Not too good.
W：Are you still getting the pain？
M：Yes.
W：Well.The X-ray doctor found irritability and distortion of the duodenum although there was no actual ulcer visible on the X-ray.This does not necessarily mean that you have no duodenal ulcer.We have to decide the best way of treating it.There are two ways：medical and surgical.In young people，we try to avoid operations and we hope that medical means will help.Now，you did have a spell in hospital and it disappeared but now it started again.Has anyone in your family had an ulcer？
M：Yes，my father had one but it cleared up.
W：Well，this could be relevant as ulcers may run in the family.The other factors of course are smoking，worry and anxiety，irregular meals or overtiredness，overwork and stress.These all will effect an ulcer.Unfortunately，you have a lot of stress and worry at home，so I feel despite your being so young，putting you to bed for a few weeks isn’t enough.I’d like you to see Mr.Okes.He has a great deal of experience with ulcers.And if he feels an operation is the answer，I think we should take his advice.Now，have you managed to do anything about your smoking？
M：I smoke about 50 a day.
W：How often do you get the pain now？
M：Every day.
W：Have you lost time from work because of it？
M：Yes.Nowadays here and there.
W：Well，make an appointment to see Mr.Okes，and I’ll write to him and to your doctor.

Passage one
Across the industrialized world，women still live 5 to 10 years longer than men.Among people over 100 years old，85%are women，according to Tom Perls，founder of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University and creator of the website LivingTo100.com.Time.com asks him why.
Why do women live longer than men？
One important reason is the big delay—and advantage—women have over men in terms of cardiovascular disease，like heart attack and stroke.Women develop these problems usually in their 70s and 80s，about 10 years later than men.For a long time，doctors thought the difference was due to estrogen.But studies have shown that this may not be the case，and now we know that giving estrogen to women post-menopause can actually be bad for them.
One reason for that delay in onset of cardiovascular disease could be that women are relatively iron-defcient compared to men—especially younger women，those in their late teens and early 20s— because of menstruation.Iron plays a very important part in the reactions in our cells that produce damaging free radicals，which glom onto cell membranes and DNA，and may translate into aging the cell. In fact，in our diets，red meat is the main source of iron，and lack of iron is probably one major reason that being vegetarian is healthy for you.There was a very good study looking at the intake of red meat and heart disease in Leiden in the Netherlands：in regions where people didn’t eat red meat，those populations had half the rate of heart attack and stroke compared to the populations that did eat red meat.
Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage：
21.According to the passage，what is true about Tom Perls，founder of the New England Centenarian Study？
22.According to Tom Perls，which of the following might be an important reason that women live longer than men？
23.According to the passage，when do men usually develop cardiovascular disease？
24.Compared to men，which of the following is women relatively defcient in？
25.What might the next paragraph discuss？
Passage Two
Twenty years ago，Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth.He was a college dropout who struggled to support his wife，DeAnn，and three kids，working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts.“At times we were so broke that we washed our clothes in the bathtub because we couldn’t afford the laundromat.”Now he’s a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York，South Carolina.
There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack：He always knew he’d be rich.The reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least$5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households，just like Jeff.
“Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step，”says Harv Eker，author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.“The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear.People are afraid to think big，but if you think small，you’ll only achieve small things.”
It all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party.“Talking to him，it felt like discovering fire，”he says.“I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store，and I began putting$25 a month in a mutual fund.”Next he taught a class at a local community college on investing.His students became his frst clients，which led to his investment practice.“There were lots of struggles，”says Jeff，“but what got me through was believing with all my heart that I would succeed.”
Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage：
26.What was true about Jeff Harris twenty years ago？
27.What does Jeff Harris do now？
