Plus， 35% of them dropped into the “normal” category. This week， Dr Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to what’s achieved with Hypertension （高血壓） drugs.

In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken， not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome， testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages， students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates （應试者） for the doctor’s degree.
Generally， however， modern examinations are written. The written examination， where all students are tested on the same questions， was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination， timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by teachers， resembles a group of workers at a factory. Certainly， during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes called as “objective” test. It is intended to deal with facts， not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions， each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
5. What can we learn about the students in the Middle Ages？
A. They were timed by electrical clocks.
B. They specialized in one subject.
C. They usually took spoken tests.
D. They took objective tests.
6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A. The population grows rapidly.
B. Exams are now written and timed.
C. Workers now take examinations.
D. Teachers participate in the exams.
7. What test requires students to choose the answer from several choices？
A. Objective test. B. Personal test.
C. Spoken test. D. Written test.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968， when George Roy Hill， the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid， introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference， we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft （技艺） and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors： humorous， aggressive， and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心） of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success， you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill， and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly， but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was， and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
8. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？
A. Paul wanted the role.
B. He wasn’t famous enough.
C. The director had found someone else.
D. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
9. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？
A. They were of the same age.
B. They were both good actors.
C. They worked in the same theater.
D. They have similar characteristics.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A. Their belief. B. Their care for children.
C. Their success. D. Their support for each other.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？
A. To remember a friend.
B. To show his love of films.
C. To introduce a new movie.
D. To share his acting experience.

Movie-goers might have seen the real-life ordeal （嚴峻的考验） played out in Jungle where Daniel Radcliffe played Ghinsberg who fought for his life in the Bolivian jungle. The backpacker had become separated from his companions and survived for three weeks before being rescued by the local people from a nearby village.
A fearless explorer， Ghinsberg did several jobs to realize his dream of traveling around South America. Once there， he met with Karl Ruprechter， a mysterious Austrian geologist in search of gold， Swiss teacher Marcus Stamm， and American photographer Kevin Gale—the four had never met before. They joined up for the expedition （探险） into the Amazon， but the dream turned into a nightmare which caused the group to split. Ghinsberg and Gale built a raft to take them to the nearest town， but after losing control， Ghinsberg ended up downstream. After four days heading upriver in search of his companions， he finally concluded they were both lost. Ruprechter and Stamm were never found.
With no knife， map or survival skills， 21-year-old Ghinsberg spent three weeks seeking shelter and food. After his rescue， Ghinsberg was cared for by the native Quechua-Tacana community of San Jose. But the San Jose villagers were also fighting for survival themselves， as Ghinsberg discovered. They needed other sources of income and dreamed of building a hostel （招待所） to encourage tourism in their large area of Madidi National Park and provide employment for their children. Ghinsberg felt he owed his life to this remote community and decided to help them.
To raise money， he went knocking on the doors of the Inter-American Development Bank and the environmental NGO， Conservation International. Thanks to Ghinsberg’s effort， the villagers’ dream of bringing tourism to Madidi became a reality.
