高三英语星级阶梯阅读练习三星级34AJapans nuclear crisis is also causing concerns in China. Worried shoppers rushed to stores and supermarkets in the country for salt, with the belief that it might protect them from potential nuclear radiation spreading from Japan.

Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes(羽状物) might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.

But the opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner. Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couples diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households. The report, by Newcastle Universitys Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples. The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner. Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.

C Well-known lines by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu describe a sad scene in early April: “The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day. So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way.(清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂)”. In China, Qingming Day, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, falls every April. People visit their ancestors graves to clean away the dirt. Schools sometimes organize a trip to a local martyrs park where students show their respect for those who lost their lives in revolutionary wars. In most Western countries there is no equivalent(类似旳) of tomb-sweeping day, but people still value the opportunity to remember loved ones. On the anniversary of a death, relatives visit the cemetery. Often they will leave flowers. In the US, the last Monday of mall flag on their car, tied to the antenna(天线).Flags are also flown in yards. In the morning, all flags should be flown at half-mast(半旗) in honor of fallen soldiers. In Britain, people wear red paper replica poppies(罂粟花复制品) in November in remembrance of those who died or were injured in all fighting, but most particularly in World War I. Why the poppy? It goes back to a poem written by John McCrae in 1915. He saw the fragile flowers growing on the graves of soldiers.

D In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place. Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.“satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”. Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem.
