She would want to give in death.”Within 24 hours, Mary was informed she would receive one of Julies eyes, and John was told to prepare for a kidney transplant. Julies other organs would give life and 49 to other waiting recipients.“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday.

An analysis of three randomised controlled trials found that 70 per cent of patients who had taken zinc acetate lozenges(80 to 92 mg per day)within 24 hours of noticing cold symptoms had recovered on the fifth day, compared with 27 per cent of patients who had received a placebo.While that dosage is higher than the daily recommended amount, no serious side effects were observed. Be sure your zinc lozenge doesnt also contain citric acid(柠檬酸),which can make it less effective. Driving Can Lower Your IQIn a recent study of approximately 500,000 people between ages 37 and 73, researchers found a noticeable drop-off in brainpower, as measured by intelligence and memory tests, among those who drove for more than two hours each day. The study also found that the more time participants spent watching TV, which, like driving, fails to exercise either the body or the brain, the worse their test scores. If you must drive long distances to work, consider adding a mentally stimulating activity to your commute, such as listening to language lessons.Dairy Helps Fight Early MenopauseCalcium and vitamin D have long been known to work together to build strong bones. Now scientists have discovered that they may also play a role in preventing early menopause(更年期), which is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and other health issues. In a study of 116,430 premenopausal women, those who got the most calcium and vitamin D from food-especially dairy-had the lowest risk of early menopause. Supplements did not have any beneficial effect, perhaps because they lack the other vitamins, fats and hormones(such as progesterone and oestrogen)found in dairy.56. Which of the following is True according to the passage? A. Zinc can help treat any common cold effectively. B. Despite time participants spent watching TV, their test scores are still high. C. Language lessons are beneficial to mental activity. D. Calcium is more functional than vitamin D in curing menopause.57. Whats the main purpose of the passage? A. To sell some medicines to the customers. B. To inform readers of some pieces of medical news. C. To offer some statistics about scientific researches. D. To promote some products about milk.BAirborne dust is normally seen as an environmental problem, but the lack of it is making air pollution over China considerably worse.A new study suggests less dust means more solar radiation hits the land surface, which reduces wind speed. That lack of wind in turn leads to an accumulation of air pollution over heavily populated parts of China. The researchers found that reduced dust levels cause a 13% increase in human-made pollution in the region.Hundreds of millions of people across China continue to be impacted by air pollution from factories and coal-fired power plants. Studies suggest that the dirty air contributes to 1.6 million deaths a year, about 17% of all mortalities. But this new research says that the human-induced pollution is being made worse or better by naturally occurring dust that blows in from the Gobi desert. Using models to simulate 150 years of wind and dust patterns in the region, the researchers found that the dust deflects significant amounts of sunlight. Without it, more heat from the Sun hits the land. Differences in the temperatures between land and sea cause the winds to blow. Without the dust, the land warms up more and that changes the temperature differential with the sea leading to weaker breezes - and more air pollution.There are two dust sources. One is the Gobi and the other is the highlands of north-west China, but we found the Gobi had much more influence, said lead author Yang Yang, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington State, US. Less dust in the atmosphere causes more solar radiation to reach the surface. It weakens the temperature difference between the land and the sea and impacts the circulation of the winds and causes a stagnation over eastern China and that causes an accumulation of air pollution.Another study has recently shown a link between declining Arctic sea ice and a major air pollution event in China in 2013. The authors of the new study believe that both theories could be true.Our study has the same mechanism: the weakening of winds causes more pollution, and what is behind this needs to be studied, said Yang Yang, We have two views on this kind of weakening of wind. They found the sea ice, we found the dust-wind interaction can also lead to weakening of the wind. I think both of them are important.The researchers believe that the study may inform broader questions about how natural and human-created aerosols interact.Many parts of the world, in addition to China, are now suffering from increased levels of air pollution and understanding how dust, winds and emissions work together may help limit some of the worst impacts of dirty air.One of the key lessons from this study is that the absence of dusty conditions could mean the air you are breathing is worse for you, not better.58. According to the new study, the formation of air pollution over heavily populated parts of China is due to _.A. the accumulation of dust B. the lack of temperature C. the high level of living standards D. the shortage of wind59. Whats the right sequence of cause and effect leading to the air pollution?the worse circulation of the winds more heat from the sun lessening temperature between the land and the sealess dusta worse stagnationA. B. C. D. 60. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Millions of people die of diseases caused by dirty air every year in China.B. The theory of the consequences caused by declining Arctic sea ice is less scientific.C. The new study must invite questions about how natural and human-created aerosols interact.D. The absence of dusty conditions means a more healthier environment. C IT is fashionable to say that tech firms will conquer the financial services industry. Yet in the case of Apple, it seems that the opposite is happening and finance is taking over tech by stealth(悄然). Since the death of Steve Jobs, its co-founder, in 2011, the worlds biggest firm by market value has sold hundreds of millions of phones with bionic chips (仿生芯片)and know-it-all digital assistants. But it has also grown a financial operation that is already, on some measures, roughly half the size of Goldman Sachs. Apple does not organize its financial activities into one subsidiary, but Schumpeter has lumped them together. The resultcall it “Apple Capital”has $262bn of assets, $108bn of debt, and has traded $1.6trn of securities since 2011. It appears to be run fairly cautiously and is part of a thriving firm, but it still deserves scrutiny. Companies have a history of being hurt by their financial arms; think General Electric (GE) or General Motors (GM). Apple Capital has lots of responsibilities but three stand out. It invests the firms mountain of surplus profits, mainly in “highly rated” instruments (this task seems to fall to Braeburn Capital, a subsidiary in Nevada, which uses some external fund managers). Apple Capital also uses derivatives (衍生品)in order to protect the firm against currency and interest-rate gyrations. And it manages Americas fifth-biggest corporate-debt pile by issuing Apple bonds as part of an elaborate strategy to limit tax bills. Apple Capital has become important to its parent. Since Jobs died, its assets have risen by 221%, twice as fast as the companys sales, reflecting Apples huge build-up of profits. Its investments are worth 32% of Apples market value, and its profits (investment income, plus gains on derivatives, less interest costs) have been 7% of Apples pre-tax profits so far this year. It is also sizeable compared with other financial firms. Consider four measures: assets, debt, credit exposure and profits. Depending on the yardstick, Apple Capital is 30-85% as big as Goldman Sachs. It is 22-42% as large as GE Capital was at its peak in 2007, just before things went down the tubes during the subprime crisis.Apple Capital is different from these firms in important ways. It does not take deposits and has much lower leverage. In their prime Goldman and GE Capital were run by hard-charging financiers, and made lots of loans. By contrast, Apple Capital does not make loans, and is not meant to be a profit centre in its own right. Apples core business is so profitable that it isalmostincredible that a blow-up at App
