studies showed a clear link. “our suggestion is for people to increase their intake(摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” dr. cedric garland said in a telephone interview.garlands research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin d and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “theres nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify(增强) foods with vitamin d. garland is part of a university of california at san diego moores cancer center team that published its findings this week online in the american journal of public health. vitamin d is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units(iu) a serving. “people might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 ius per day”, garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the national academy of sciences.the authors said that taking more vitamin d could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin d from sunshine.“african americans, who dont produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.46. according to the passage, people are advised to take more vitamin d, because_.a. it is nutritious b. it cant harm peoples healthc. it can lower cancer risk d. it is not taken enough every day47. which of the following

christmas, ann sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. with a social worker mother, the sutton children had inherited(继承) her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at christmas for granted. this year, kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that santa claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself. the phone rang on sunday. a representative(代表) from a local organization was calling to say that the aid ann had requested for ashley had fallen through. no santa claus, no presents, nothing. ann saw the cheer vanish from her childrens faces at the news. without a word, kinzie ran into her bedroom. she returned, her face set with determination. opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30. everything she had.“mom,” she told ann, “i know its not much. but maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”at a breakfast meeting the next day, ann told her coworkers about her daughters story. to her surprise, staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help kinzie. by days end, the story of kinzies gift had spread beyond anns office. she received a call from an unknown donor(捐赠人). if a seven-year-old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1. he contributed $300. on christmas eve, ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the ashleys lived. then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to ashley one by one. ashley was very moved. reflecting on a little girls generosity, ashley says shell one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need. “kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” ashley says. “shes the type of kid id like my son to grow up to be.”51. according to the text, ann sutton _.a. is making lots of money b. is ready to help othersc. is

moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesnt work out, youll have something to rely on. mary responded in typical teenage fashion. from that moment on, the very last thing i ever thought about doing was taking a typing course, she recalls.the show business thing worked out, of course. in her career, mary won many awards. only recently, when she began to write growing up again, did she regret ignoring her morn, i dont know how to use a computer, she admits.unlike her 1995 autobiography, after all, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). all the money from the book is intended for the juvenile diabetes research foundation (jdrf), an organization she serves as international chairman. i felt there was a need for a book like this, she says. i didnt want to lecture, but i wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.but she hasnt always practiced what she teaches. in her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. first, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. in a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. everybody on earth can ask, why me? about something or other, she insists. it doesnt do any good. no one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. sometimes we can make things better by helping others. ive come to realize the importance of that as ive grown up this second time. i want to speak out and be as helpful as i can be.56. why did mary feel regretful?a. she didnt achieve her ambition. b. she didnt take care of her mother.c. she didnt complete her high school. d. she didnt follow her mothers advice.57. we can know that before 1995 mary a. had two books published b. received many career awardsc. knew how to use a computer d. supported the jdrf by writing 58. marys second book growing up again is mainly about her .a. living with diabetes b. successful show businessc. service for an organization d. remembrance of her mother 59. when mary received the life-changing news, she .a. lost control of herself b. began a balanced diet c. tried to get a treatment d. behaved in an adult way 60. what can we know from the last paragraph?a. mary feels pity for herself. b. mary has recovered from her disease.c. mary wants to help others as much as possible.d. mary determines to go back to the dance floor dall schoolchildren should have “happiness” lessons up to the age of 18 to combat(斗争) growing levels of depression, according to a senior government adviser.“pupils should study subjects such as how to manage feelings, attitudes to work and money, channeling (疏导) negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media,” said lord richard layard, a labor peer and professor of economics at the london school of economics.the proposal comes only days after the government said that lessons in mannersincluding respect for the elderly and how to say “please” and “thank you”should be taught in secondary schools to combat bad behavior.lord layard, the director of the wellbeing program at the lses center for economic performance, said: “learning hard things takes an enormous amount of practice. to play the violin well takes 10,000 hours of practice. how can we expect people to learn to be happy without large amounts of practice and repetition?”it is believed that at least two percent of british children under 12 now struggle with significant depression. among teenagers, the figure rises to five percent. a unicef study involving 21 developed countries showed that british children were the least satisfied with their lives, while the world health organization predicts that childhood psychiatric (精神的) disorders will rise by 50 percent by 2020.in a speech at cambridge university, lord layard said the governments lessons in manners did not go far enough. “we need a commitment(承诺) to producing a major specialism in this area, with a serious teacher training program,” he said.however, happiness lessons have been criticized by academics(学术；大学老师). frank furedi, a sociology professor at kent university and author of therapy culture, said: “in pushing emotional literacy, what some teachers are really doing is abandoning teaching. they are giving up and talking about emotions instead, so that children value all this non-discipline-led activity more than maths, english or science. what is amazing about this is that time and time again, research says that it does not work.”61. what does lord layard think of the governments lessons in manners?a. they can hardly meet the special demands of education.b. they are quite enough to solve the present problem.c. they only focused
