24、iskier for men. Because they do not breathe as often as women, men also need more oxygen. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air when it is polluted.笔试模拟考场（8）第3页（共8页）B exercise C teamworkB animated C developedB prepared C tailoredB computer-prese
25、nted C computer-designedMens bones are larger than women* s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which makes him to stride out with no waste motion. A womans wider
26、pelvis, designed for childbearing forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of a jiggle and sway as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof gutters, dont forget it is easier for him than for a wo
27、man. The angle at which a womans thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her.no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling.A mans skin is thicker than a womans and not nearly as soft. This prevents the suns radiation from getting through. Which is wh
28、y men wrinkle less than women do? Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer. Because the fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Mens
29、fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. 41 percent of a mans body is muscle compared to 35 percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. When we mention stre
30、ngth, almost 90 percent of a mans weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of a womans weight.The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to loss weight, th
31、e pounds roll off much faster. For all mens muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in womens nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack.Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women
32、 on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty. A man of sixty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old.41

The first light-house was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for a
46、nd maintained by “light dues“ levied (征收) on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses.The first eight lanterns erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured th
47、e same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences ( 高处) , enormous towers
48、were not the rule. Some of them were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some of them stood on pilings or stilts; others were fastened to rock with iron rods.
