With this knowledge has come the widespread call for nutritional supplementation (营养补充) and a confusing group of vitamin, mineral, and supplements lining the supermarket shelves. Far from contributing to better health, however, nutritional supplements threaten to turn a scientific breakthrough into a nutritional disaster. Promoters of vitamins and minerals especially vitamins A, C, and E would have consumers believe that the little vitamin pill in the bottle is all they need for good health. Take your vitamins in the morning, and youre covered. Its okay to eat fast foods for the rest of the day or skip meals to achieve todays fashionably skinny look. But vitamins and minerals are only one part of the nutritional puzzle. A diet rich in fiber (纤维) and balanced in carbohydrates and protein is essential for good health. You cant get these things from a nutritional supplement. The focus on vitamin and mineral supplements may actually be robbing us of the full nutrition we seek. And no supplement can compare to the quality of nutrition found in natural sources. For example, our bodies turn carotenes (胡萝卜素) from plant foods into vitamin A. Many supplements contain a single carotene, but natural sources are rich in many different carotenes. Many supplements contain a form of vitamin E that is made from chemicals, when natural vitamin E is more readily absorbed and used by the body. And science is still discovering the wealth of nutrients in foods. Youd be hard-pressed to find a supplement as nutritionally comprehensive and powerful as a balanced diet. Even if you could, youd pay much more than if you got the same nutritional value from natural sources. But perhaps the greatest danger presented by nutritional supplements comes from the very real risks presented by self-medication. Anyone can walk into the market and buy as many different supplements as desired. The reported benefits of high dosages of certain nutrients have led some people to believe that the more the better. Many take several vitamin and mineral supplements without regard to possible consequences. Surprising new research suggests that vitamin C pills may speed up hardening of the arteries, the underlying cause of heart attacks. Researchers said their findings support the recommendations of health organizations, which urge people to avoid high doses of supplements and to get their nutrients from food instead. As appealing as theyre made to sound, nutritional supplements are danger in disguise. If youre looking for good health, dont look on the supplement shelves of your supermarket. Look in the produce section instead.41. What has given rise to the great need for nutritional supplements? A. The knowledge of deficiency diseases.B. The low prices of nutritional supplements. C. The frighteningly high death rate from cancer and heart disease.D. The information about the role of vitamins and minerals in health.42. The “promoters” (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. businessmen B. doctors C. scientists D. fast food lovers43. According to the passage, nutritional supplements _.A. are made from chemicals B. are ineffective in supplying fiber C. provide too much vitamin C D. contain a kind of dangerous carotene 44.One of the reasons why many people take large amounts of nutritional supplements is that _. A. their doctors advise them to do soB. nutritional supplements are easily availableC. scientists have found the more nutrients the betterD. nutritional supplements are recommended by health organizations45.By describing nutritional supplements as “danger in disguise” in the last paragraph, the writer means that they are _.A. of little help B. of poor quality C. potentially harmfulD. extremely poisonousBLike international travelers anywhere, foreigners visiting the United States from other countries can be confused by some of what they encounter. Fortunately, their fellow travelers have plenty of advice. Here are some specially good travel advice from around the world.FromItaly:Tipping is filled with misunderstanding.Q. Is it true that I have to “force” to tip at all? A. It is not mandatory to tip, however, it is strongly recommended, because in many cases it is the only entry of workers. Generally in a restaurant, in the cab, and in many places where there is a service tip is 15%. Since the bill that will explain you exactly the city tax of 8.875%, is sufficient to double that sum, without bothering to do the calculations. In the hotel you leave two dollars per day per person cleaning.Obviously you do not leave tips in places like McDonalds or Starbucks.FromChina:Americans love to follow rules, even when no one is looking.“Americans are such strict rule followers. I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game. To me, it was ridiculous, a little violent, and very American. It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly. Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing, he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game. I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the ruleseven when they are not seen.”FromRussia:Gifts are not a big deal. And did you know bribery (行贿) was illegal?“Gifts: Americans do not expect them. On the contrary, an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position. Such things for Americans suggest exchange of commercial.Business gifts in the U.S. are not acceptable. Moreover, they often cause suspicion. Americans fear that they could be interpreted as a bribe, and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law.”FromJapan:Nobody is impressed by how much you can drink. “In the U.S., they do not have a sense of pride if they drink a large amount. Rather, if you drink a lot, there is a sense that you cannot manage yourself, and you can lose respect from those around you. Being drunk doesnt excuse your actions, and to drink alcohol habitually is a sign of alcoholism. Alcoholics are seen as mentally weak, and are avoided by society due to their inability to have self control.”46. What does the passage mainly tell about? A. Cultural diversity. B. Cultural differences. B. Cultural revolution. D. Cultural construction.47. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mandatory” in Para. 3?A. Required. B. Forbidden. C. Permitted. D. Arranged.48. According to the passage, what are Americans most likely to do? A. Tipping everywhere. B. Sending a surprising business present. C. Drinking a lot. D. Obeying the game rules.49. Which word do the international travelers probably use to describe Americans? A. Confident. B. Self-disciplined. C. Selfless. D. Generous.C Nowadays，the Internet，with its ability to connect people throughout the world，is changing the way people learn languages. There is still no way to avoid the hard work through vocabulary lists and grammar rules，but the books，tapes and even CDs are being replaced by email, video chat and social networks. Livemocha, a Seattle company, has created a website devoted to helping people learn more than 38 languages by exchanging messages over the Internet and then correcting each others messages. The lessons，whether they are flashcards，quizzes，audio recordings or written and spoken essays，are delivered through the Internet. Michael Schutzler, Livemochas chief executive(主管), says the websites advantage is the ability to practical with a real person. “The great irony(讽刺)is that even if you have learned a foreign language in the classroom for years，you dont have confidence to go into a restaurant and have a conversation with a foreigner, he said. The casual connection with real people throughout the world, however brief, are not just fun and surprising but show more about how the language is really used. Livemocha is now experimenting with a variety of ways that resemble the games on other social websites to motivate people. The flashcard exercises，for instance，are scored, and the totals earned by studying and teaching appear on the users front page. Besides，each person can set up a profile(简历)which includes a short description of his age，location and what language he would like to learn. Therefore，if you want to study one language，you will easily find many people who are fluent in it. And an email or two is all it takes to find a study partner. There are more and more companies like Livemocha offering online language learning to students throughout the world. And instead of merely helping people practice different languages，they also enable people to share interests and make new friends.50. For what purpose did Livemocha create the website? A.

People can learn more than 38 languages in all. D. There is no need to learn vocabulary and grammar. 52. Why does the writer give us the example of flashcard exercise in Paragraph 4?A.

Livemocha will be turned into a dating website. DAs Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980, she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors. In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off. They had. “I got five As,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!” Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80. Three years later, at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a masters in education. Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93, she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “Its my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “Thats wha
