Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.One day in 2016,Robin Woods drove seven hours from his home in Maryland to visit a man named Mark Stevens in Massachusetts.The two had spoken on the phone dozens of times.But they had never met in person.Woods walked along a tree-lined street to Stevens's house.He seemed nervous and excited as he knocked on the door.A tall man with white hair and glasses opened it.Within a few minutes,Woods,54,and Stevens,66,were sitting in the living room, talking about books.The meeting seemed an unlikely event:When Woods had first written to Stevens,in 2004,he was serving a 16-year prison sentence in Maryland,for breaking and entering.And yet it was a book that had brought them together.While in prison,Woods had bought and begun reading Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia (百科全书).He spent hours flipping through the pages.One day,he was puzzled to read an entry stating that the 11th-century ruler Toghril Beg had entered Baghdad in 1955.He quickly realized that it should have been 1055.“I read it several times to make sure,"he said.Then he decided to write to its editor,Mark A.Stevens."Dear Mr.Stevens," Woods wrote in a letter."I am writing to you at this time to advise you of a misprint in your Collegiate Encyclopedia."He described the error and offered his thanks for Merriam-Webster's reference books.“I would be lost without them,"he wrote,unsure whether he'd ever get a response.What Woods didn't mention in his first letter to Stevens was that the encyclopedia represented the high point of his self-education.Woods grew up in one of the poorest areas in America.Woods was first sent to prison at 23,for firing his grandfather's gun through an apartment window after a drug-related dispute. He was young and finished only a basic education."I had never read a book in my life,"he said.During his stay in prison,Woods began his own course of study.He was always alone in a cell that had no television or radio.One day,a man with a cart of books wound his way through the lockup(监狱)tiers,shouting,"Library call!"Woods wasn't interested at first,but his boredom won out:He decided to borrow some books.That was the beginning of his self-education.问题1:Who edited the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia?

Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Many changes take place when you get old.The worst is decreasing of muscle mass.Although there is not much decline in your muscles between ages 20 and 40,after age 40 there can be a decline of 1%to 2%per year in lean body mass and 1.5%to 5%per year in strength.The loss of muscle mass is related to both a reduced number of muscle fibers(纤维)and a reduction in fiber size.This change in muscle mass leads to poor coordination(协调).The brain and nervous system can't work together as well as before.Everything from hitting a golf ball to keeping a coffee cup steady as you walk across a room will become slower.In addition,the“eye”side of hand-eye coordination -plays a role.Eye diseases are much more common in older adults,whose aging starts with mild difficulty in seeing.Then the question arises:how to combat all these?There is a myth in our society that it is fine to do less exercise the older you get.The truth is just the opposite!As you age,it becomes more important to exercise regularly-perhaps even increasing the amount of time you spend exercising to compensate for bodily changes in hormones(荷尔蒙)and other factors that you cannot control.The good news is that participating in exercises to improve strength and coordination can help people of any age.When it comes to what exercise gives the older people great benefits,squat(深蹲)might be on the top of the list.As we know,age-related strength loss tends to be increased in the lower body compared to the upper body.Weakness in the lower body also tends to affect more functional daily activities and can lead to an increased risk of falls as we get older.So primary attention needs to be given to strengthening muscles in the lower body.The squat is a highly recommended lower limb exercise for everybody,working multiple muscles n a very functional way.There are a number of different variations of the squat depending on your current level.It can be started as a sit to stand from a chair or bench,a wall squat or a body weight squat.These can then be progressed with added load,such as holding water bottles or dumbbells.问题6:When do people start to lose muscle mass?
