Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer saying that 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 Garland s 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 There s 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 don t 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 can t harm people s health C it can

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 children s 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 5 Mom she told Ann I know it s 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 daughter s story To her surprise staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie By day s end the story of Kinzie s gift had spread beyond Ann s 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 girl s generosity Ashley says she ll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need Kinzie could have

began her high school in 1951 her mother told her Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn t work out you ll 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 don t 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 6 chairman I felt there was a need for a book like this she says I didn t want to lecture but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we re self controlled and do our part in managing the disease But she hasn t 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 doesn t do any good No one is immune 免疫的 to heartache pain and disappointments Sometimes we can make things better by helping others I ve come to realize the

mother C She didn t complete her high school D She didn t follow her mother s advice 57 We can know that before 1995 Mary A had two books published B received many career awards C knew how to use a

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 D All 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 manners including 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 LSE s Center for Economic Performance 7 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 Government s 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 Government s 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 on a major specialism D They will probably end in failure 62 What do we know about British children from the passage A They suffer depression at an earlier age B They are the least happy among the 21 developed countries C They are the easiest to suffer childhood psychiatric disorders D Their standard of living is the lowest among the 21 developed countries 63 We can conclude from the passage that A the British Government hasn t fully realized the problems with British students B Lord Layard thinks little of the Government s lessons in manners C British students are not well behaved enough D lessons in manners have brought about positive changes in British students 64 Which of the following method does Lord Layard use to show learning to be happy takes practice A Analysis B Description C Argument D Comparison 65 Frank Furedi believes that A happiness lessons should be taught to children B happiness lessons are just a waste of time C formal teaching can go side by side with happiness lessons D formal teaching should not give way to happiness lessons 第二节 信息匹配 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 阅读下列材料 从所给的六个选项 A B C D E 和 F 中 选出符合各小题要求的最 佳选项
