If you thought sports stars Yao Ming and Liu Xiang or Internet entrepreneurs Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei would automatically be on the list of the” Men of Our Time”,then you could be behind the times.

       The surprise in the list of 10 men released by the All-China Women’s Federation yesterday is that it contains no celebrities- and the guiding factors seem to be care and sympathy for the opposite sex.

       In fact,Liu and Yao,as well as actor Pu Cunxin—the image ambassador for China’s anti-HIV,AIDS campaign—appeared in a booklet given out at the contest’s launch ceremony in January.The federation wouldn’t say why they are not in the final list.

       The winners,with an average age of 47.5,were selected by women officials and journalists of the nine women’s newspapers in China,whose standard was men promoting equality between the sexes.

       Li Zhong hua, a 46-year—old air force officer who test-flies planes,said he thought he was chosen because” he takes good care of his family,and is a gentleman”.

       ”Gentlemen get more respect in our society.They should be like those in the movie Titanic,who let women and children lave first in life rafts。”he told China Daily.

       Shi Hua shan,a 48-year-old policeman in Gui xi of Jiangxi Province,said that he became a”man in the eyes of women” because” women love stories of heroes saving beauties".

       His team has rescued more than 180 women who were taken away by force and sold as wives in the mountain regions of Fujian Province.

       Some other” Men of Our Time” are:

       Lang Jinghe,67,gynecologist at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing,who has made breakthroughs in ovarian cancer;

       Ma Li,33,official in Xuzhou of Jiangsu Province,whose shelter has helped 196 victims of domestic violence;Li Mingshull,43,lawyer in Beijing,who is active in campaigns against family violence;Liu Ri,51,a mine worker in Lu’an of Shanxi Province,who took care of his paralyzed

parents·in-law for 23 years with his wife.

       B.LiZhonghua was a man in the eyes of women because he was an excellent air force officer.

  Even though he was successful,Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.“He still won't let anyone see his feet,which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,”Wendy said in 1993.Born to a single mother,he was adopted(收養(yǎng))as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan.After Auleva died when he was 5,Thomas spent years on the road as Rex travelled around seeking construction work.“He fed me,”Thomas said,“and if Igot out of line,he'd beat me.”

  Moving out on his own at 15,Thomas worked,first as a waiter,in many restaurants.But he had something much better in mind.“I thought if I owned a restaurant,”he said,“I could eat for free.“A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1986.

  Although troubled by his own experience with adoption,Thomas,married since 1954 to Lorraine,66,and with four grown kids besides Wendy,felt it could offer a future for other children.He started the Dave Thomas Foundation(基金會)for Adaption in 1992.

  In 1993,Thomas,who had left school at 15,graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida.He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party.The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

Seven Health Facts about Coffee

Whe.n you’re consideringyour.morning coffee, here are some healthfacts to keep in mind:

1, Coffee Reduces Your Risk of Diabetes(糖尿。

In a 2005 review of nine studies, researchers found that for those that drank four to six cups of coffee per day, versus only. Two or fewer, their risk for Type 2 diabetes decreased by almost 30 percent. The number decreased:d by 35 percent when people drank more than six cups per da3day.And if you’re picturing yourself f running around the’office with your eyes bugging out of your head, no worries because caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees provided much the same results.

2. Coffee Fights Free Radicals(自由基)

We often forget that coffee is actually a plant and like all plant foods, the coffee bean contains more than 1,000 naturally occurring substances called phytochemicals, which may help prevent disease. Many of these phytochemicals are antioxidants which protect the cells from damage from free radicals.

3. Coffee Improves Memory and Cognition

Researchers reported that volunteers who drank caffeinated coffee in the morning performed better than nondrinkers on tests that involved learning new information. Coffee can also improve cognitive function as we age. One study found that combining coffee with a sweet treat had an even bigger impact.

4. Coffee Can Increase Osteoporosis(骨質(zhì)疏松)

It s true that coffee can cause the body to excrete calcium in urine. We don’t want the.body to rid itself of calcium because this can lead to osteoporosis. According to The Diet Channel,about five milligrams of calcium is lost per every six ounces of coffee consumed. But these calcium losses can be counter balanced with two tablespoons of milk or yogurt per cup of coffee.

5. Coffee Causes Wrinkles

Even tho,ugh coffee has antioxidants, if you drink too much of it, it can cause wrinkling of the skin. This is a result of dehydration(脫水) which is the worst thing for your skin. So when you’re drinking that morning cup or two, make sure that you’re pairing it with water. Even better,add one tablespoon of chia seeds to your water and let them sit for 30 minutes. The chia seeds keep you even more hydrated than regular water.

6, Coffee Can Actually Cause Weight Gain

The blood sugar changes that a caffeine high produces can contribute enormously to a strong desire for it,’according to iVillage. Coffee is also socially connected to food. For example,we pair coffee with dessert or that morning powdered doughnut. Additionally, when we crash fiom our caffeine high that’s when we reach for all sorts of fatty snacks’ to keep us going.

7. Conventional Coffee Is Laden with Pesticides(殺蟲劑)

The coffee plant is one of the most heavily sprayed crops. Lt’s coated with chemicals,pesticides, and herbicides, nothing you’d want to be swallowing. If you do drink coffee, make sure that it’s the organic variety, free from assorted chemicals that.leech into our ground water and can make us sick down the road.

If you switch to decaffeinated coffee, make sure the caffeine(咖啡因) is removed in a natural way without the use of chemicals to do it. Often times, conventional decaffeinated coffee has more chemicals than regular.

41. If you want to decrease the risk of diabetes by 35070, you need to take at least       cups of coffee every day.

A. seven       B. six    C. five      D. four

42.lf you are a heavy drinker of coffee, a far better way to avoid wrinkling of your skin is to drink water      .

A.less than usual   B. regularly       C. with sugar      D. with chia seeds

43. Which of the following statements is wrong?

A. Adding two spoons of milk to a cup of coffee can prevent calcium losses.

B. Decaffeinated coffee has different effects from caffeinated coffee as to diabetes.

C. Many phytochemicals protect the cells from damage from fiee radicals.

D. The organic variety of coffee p/ant is free from assorted chemicals.
