(40 points)Text 1 The secret to living longer could be as simple as picking up your walking pace, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sydney found that walking at a brisk(快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cause of death.This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the study, explained, “A fast pace is generally five to six kilometers per hour, but it really depends on a walkers fitness levels; an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty.”In the study, the researchers looked at the results of 11 surveys from 134 to 2008, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, sex and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for all-cause mortality(死亡率) compared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent.The researchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about the benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, “These analyses suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to improve heart health and risk for premature mortality- providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote.“Especially in situations when walking more isnt possible due to time pressures or a less walking-friendly environment, walking faster may be a good option to get the heart rate up- one that most people can easily add to their lives.”1、Who benefit most from walking fast?ACancer sufferers.BThe elderly.CThose who have heart problems.DThose who have high BMI.2、What decides how fas
