When you walk around the Hebrew Home Senior Living Home in Riverdale, New York, you'll
naturally see a lot of people in their 90s using walkers. But one of those people shouldn't be
mistaken for a resident-he's 92-year-old Jerry Schneider, a volunteer.
He first visited Hebrew Home in 2007, when his wife was diagnosed with cancer and went
there for care. "I would see her every day and wheel her around," Schneider said. "We used to see a
lot of lonely people and my wife said, "You know, later on, you ought to volunteer." At first,
Schneider didn't think he'd return to volunteer. He thought his wife would recover and come home,
but she, unfortunately, passed away. Then, a few years later, Schneider's son reminded him about his
wife's suggestion. So, eight years ago, he signed up to visit seniors at the nursing home.
"He comes usually every Tuesday," Oscar who was born in 1932 told CBS News during
Schneider's weekly visit "See, I don't have good eyesight, so sometimes he reads to me. But mostly,
we chat back and forth." Schneider told CBS News that's what most of the residents are looking
for-a friend to chat with. He admits that it may be unusual to see a volunteer old enough to live at
Hebrew Home. But Schneider is happy to be that for them. His friendship has changed Oscar for the
better. Schneider said his friend used to be quite introvert, but now he looks forward to their chats.
For Schneider, the visits help him, too. "This gives me a little extra life. I am meeting people
here, talking. Otherwise, I'd have no one to talk to at home," the New York native said. "I mean, I
look at myself, and I say, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.”4. Why does Schneider volunteer at the nursing home?

C. He has a lot of friends there. D. His son told him to do so.

6. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?
A. Humorous. B. Talktive. C. Shy. D. Easy-going.
7. What does the author want to tell us?

C. East or west, home is the best.
D. God help those who help themselves.

Visitors flooded to the National Museum of China, as 600 long-lost Chinese relics returned to
China, including bronze animal heads stolen from the Old Summer Palace, are on exhibit together
for the first time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of
China(PRC). Many web users also expressed eagerness to visit the exhibit during the National Day
holidays, saying they were excited to see the long-lost relics. The most popular relics are the 12
bronze animal heads representing the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖).
Over 600 cultural relics from 13 provinces and cities and 18 museums and cultural institutions
nationwide are on display, the National Cultural Heritage Administration said in a statement sent to
the Global limes on September 17.This is the first time China has carried out overall display of the
country's history of lost cultural relics recovered since 1949, including Chinese pottery, bronze ware,
paintings and calligraphy, the statement said.
Feng Shengyi, who majored in cultural relics studies at Beijing University, said the return of
more long-lost relics demonstrates Chinas development, Chinese people's love for the country and
enthusiasm to protect relics and culture. Guan Qiang, director of the administration, told the Global Times. “Each recovery is difficult due to its complexity and historical issues, so we need to combine
different ways to recover the relics, such as negotiations, donations, rescue work and commercial
purchases.”
China has built a database of stolen cultural relics and is planning to expand it, Guan said,
noting that they would digitize cultural relics, especially fragile ones, and let more people around the
world discover the charm of Chinese culture. The Chinese Government has signed agreements with
more than 20 countries, including the US, Italy and Switzerland, on the recovery of cultural relics
and the establishment of cooperation system.

Some good news for nap lovers-a new study has found that a daytime nap taken once or twice a
week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Researchers from the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland studied the link between
napping frequency and duration and the risk of fatal and non-fatal disease. Tracking 3,462 people
between the ages of 35 and 75 for just over five years, the researchers found that those who are
addicted to occasional napping 一 once or twice a week, for between five minutes to an hour-were
48% less likely to stiffer heart attack, stroke or heart failure than those who did not nap at all.
The observational study, which was published in Heart, the journal of the British Cardiovascular Society, found that no such association appeared for greater frequency or duration of
naps. While some studies have been done on the impact of napping on heart health, many published
studies fail to consider napping frequency or duration, the researchers said.
Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow, said that while
the study was "somewhat interesting", it seems that those who nap once or twice a week have
healthier or organized lifestyles, but that those who napped daily were likely to be more sick.
"This means the former pattern of occasional napping is on purpose and the latter of napping
likely represents illness linked to poorer lifestyle. This would then explain the different risks," Sattar
told the SMC. "I don't think one can work out whether "intentional" napping on one or two days per
week improves heart health, so no one should insist that napping is a way to lessen their heart attack
risk," he added. "For now, far better to aim for regular good night's sleep and to follow usual
lifestyle advice of good diets and decent activity levels."
12. How did the researches draw their conclusion?
A. By doing experiment. B. By doing survey.
C. By building up models. D. By observing people.
13. What's the difference between previous studies and the new study?
A. Influence of napping on heart health.
B. Link between nap and risk of heart attacks.
C. Napping frequency or duration.
D. Napping frequency and lifestyle.
14. What might happen to those who napped daily?
A. More illness. B. A healthy body.
C. A healthier heart. D. Proper lifestyle
15. What may Sattar agree with?
A. Everyone should have regular nap twice a week.
B. The more naps, the better.
C. If you can have naps, regular night's sleep is unnecessary.
D. Live a healthy life by good diets and doing exercises.
