breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. now, as she reaches her milestone birthday friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. five years after moving into the white house, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office. so far, critics have complained about michelles silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: last year, at the start of her husbands second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, conn. she also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nations “mom-in-chief.” nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.“the most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or hispanic, youre the first lady and the president of all the people in the united states. thats a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that shes african american over anything else would not be wise,” said anita mcbride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of americas first ladies and their historical influence at american university. valerie jarrett, a top white house adviser and a close friend of the obamas, said the first lady doesnt want to “spread herself too thin.” “she really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” jarrett told the associated press. “that, she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”but robert watson, a lynn university professor, said he expects obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said. myra gutin, a ryder university communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the white house, given their success. michelle launched the “lets move” campaign in 2010. it in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the national football league to the sesame street franchise (特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables. “theres no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. is mrs. obama cutting edge? is she an activist? no. as first ladies go, i think shes been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “but shes not exactly just sitting in the white house pouring tea and having receptions, either.”1、critics were disappointed with michelle because _.ashe didnt put gun-control measures into effectbshe failed some feminists to stand out to be a career

may help strengthen the bodys defense system against infection（感染）. doctors at brigham and womens hospital in boston, massachusetts, did the study. the team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. this chemical is an amino acid（氨基酸）called l-theanine. the scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta t cells. thats the letter t, not the drink. gamma delta t cells are part of the bodys defenses.first, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. antigens help the body react to infection. then the scientists added some bacteria（细菌）. within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.in the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. that is dried coffee mixed with hot water.two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. they also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. they found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. the coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.doctor jack bukowski led the study. he says the antigens added to the gamma delta t cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. he says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. doctor bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. if the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. he says the amino acid l-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the bodys defenses.1. we may know from the text that _ can be found in different kinds of tea.a. gamma delta t cellsb. l-theaninec. interferond. bacteria 答案解析：答案为b。本题为推理题。由第一段 “the team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. this chemical is an amino acid called l-theanine.” 可知，在black, green, oolong and pekoe tea里面发现了叫做l-theanine的化学成分。故答案为b。2. tea may help strengthen the bodys defense system because it helps _.a. the body to produce more interferon b. the body to produce more gamma delta t cellsc. to add some bacteria to the blood cells d. to mix antigens with some of the cells in the body答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题。由第二段 “within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection.” 可知，细胞产生interferon，它可以抵抗感染，故可推断，茶能增强身体的抵抗能力因为它能帮助身体产生更多的interferon。故答案为a。3. according to dr bukowski, _.a. the findings of the study have already proved to be trueb. he has taken some amino acid l-theanine from tea and made a drug with itc. further study is needed to prove the findings trued. he is not sure whether tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由最后一段首句 “earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer.” 可知，d选项错误。由该段的后文 “doctor bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. if the findings prove to be true”可知，a选项错误，c选项正确。由最后一句 “he says the amino acid l-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the bodys defenses.” 可知，dr bukowski认为可以从茶中提取amino acid l-theanine来制药，b选项与文意不符，故错误。4. what would be the best title for this text?a. tea is better than coffee.b. tea may help fight infectionc. tea can help prevent cancer.d. our body needs tea 答案解析：答案为b。全文都是围绕第一段首句 “american researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the bodys defense system against infection.”

card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own purpose in short, when someone takes your personal information without your knowledge its a crime, pure and simple.the
