Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as "prize-fighters". However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.

One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.

Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries, who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as £ 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.

考题 共用题干 第三篇Eat More, Weigh Less, Live LongerClever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolonas the life of many animals.Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston,U.S.,and his colleagues navebeen able to extend the lifespan（寿命）of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent's(啮齿动物）increase of fat in specific cells.This suggests that thinness一and not necessarily diet一Iromotes lonq life in"calorie（热量卡）restricted" animals."It's very cool work",says aging researche:Cynthia Kenyon of the University ot California, San Francisc."These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer.It's like heaven."Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents.Whether this works in humans is still unknown,partly because few people are willina to submit to such a strict diet.But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life.One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells.But Kahn's team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin（胰岛素）receptor (受体)gene in lab mice一but only in their fat cells."Since insulin is needed to help fat cells storefat ,these animals were protected against becoming fat,"explains Kahn.This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects.By three months of age.Kahn's modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice,despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.In addition ,their lifespan increased.The average control mouse lived 753 days,while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days.After three years,all the control mice had died.but one-quarter of the modified rodents were still alive."That they ciet these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial,"saysLeonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,who studies calorie restriction and aging.But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible forincreased lifespan in calorie-restricted animals."It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life,"he points out,"and that would be very interesting." The average modified mouse livedA:3 years.B:753 days.C:More than 3 years.D:887 days.
