Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Put yourself in these tourists' position. You are walking an icy mountain path in the Alps in Europe. Suddenly you spot a body on the ground,face downward and stuck to the ice. You think someone may have been murdered or in an accident. So you rush back and call the police. The police,however,quickly realize that this body is different from others they've found on the mountain. For one thing,it is mostly undamaged. For another,its skin is dried out,like a mummy's. And with it is a knife with a small stone knife. The body turned out to be much older than the tourists could have guessed. When specialists had a chance to examine it,they discovered it had been there for about five thousand years! How could a body stay preserved for all this time?Two things probably helped. First,the place where the man died was somewhat sheltered,so animals couldn't get at it. Then he was quickly covered by falling snow. Wind blowing through the snow probably "freezedried" his body,removing all _ from it. Objects found with the body told something about the Iceman's life. He wore a thick fur overcoat and trousers. He clearly had been hunting,for he carried arrows,and animal bones were nearby. He also had a grass cushion for sitting or sleeping on. Perhaps he was exhausted when he lay down for the last time. The body was found in 1991,when some of the ice on the mountain melted. Searching for the cause of the Iceman's death,scientists put the body back into cold conditions and hoped... Question: The best title for this passage might be _ . Options: A: What Life Was Like Five Thousand Years Ago B: The Frightened Tourist C: The Mysterious Iceman D: The Mystery of the Alps
Answer: C

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Eating 40 percent less food could extend a person's life by 20 years, according to scientists. Researchers at the Institute of Health Ageing at University College London are developing a treatment that they hope will fight the 'disease' of getting older. They are looking into how genetics and lifestyle can affect ageing and add years, possibly decades, to a person's life. Age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and neuro degeneration can also be treated, it is claimed. They want to find out how the life of a rat can be increased by up to 30 percent simply by reducing its food intake. Researcher Dr. Piper told the Independent : 'If you reduce the diet of a rat by 40 percent it will live for 20 or 30 percent longer. So we would be talking 20 years of human life. This has shown on all sorts of animals, even Labradors(a kind of dog).'The scientists are also studying fruit flies, which share 60 percent of human genes and age in a similar manner, and mice. They have already made the healthy lifespan longer in both flies and mice by using drug treatments and a balanced diet. It is hoped that this combination will also work to extend human life. Dr. Piper said: 'If we discover the genes involved with ageing, we should be able to delay ageing itself. This is what we've found.' He added that the field of research into extending life is only a decade old, so remains 'in theory . It is their special approach to treating all age-related diseases caused by the 'disease' of ageing itself that sets their research apart. Question: How can people live longer according to the text? Options: A: Exercise regularly. B: Reduce their diet properly. C: Vary their lifestyles constantly. D: Change their genes completely.
