people on wednesday to take more vitamin d to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. our suggestion is for people to increase their intake, 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 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. 29. according to the passage, people are advised to take more vitamin d because_. a. it is nutritious b. it cant harm peoples health c. it can lower cancer risk d. it is not taken enough every day 30. which of the following can not help people get more vitamin d?a. having some sunshine b. having more meat c. having more fortified cheese d. having a vitamin supplement 31. who can garland probably be?a. a health researcher b. a doctor c. a scientist d. a public health official 32. which of the following food can lower peoples chance of getting cancer?a. milk b. fortified orange juice c. fortified yogurt d. all of the above d canyonlands national parkcanyonlands national park is a famous tourist attraction in utah where visitors can see arches (拱门) and other beautiful rock formations.canyonlands national park is a wild, lonely area of rocks, rivers and desert plants. only native americans, cowboys, and explorers entered this area before the park was set up in 1964. even today, it is difficult to walk or ride through the park. the roads are still made of dirt. driving requires a special vehicle. the national park service says canyonlands

it includes long, thin, red and white rocks that reach high into the air like fingers on a hand.a good way to see all the areas of canyonlands national park is to fly over it. a onehour trip in a small airplane makes it possible to see the parks red rocks, arches and flat areas where ancient indian people once lived.from high in the air, visitors can clearly see the third area of the park a high broad flat rock known as the island in the sky. the island was formed between the two rivers.another interesting formation is called the upheaval dome. this is a huge hole about four hundred and
