     Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way
to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones becoming
common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the
calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (營養(yǎng)學(xué)家) for advice.
      Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About
100 cardiac (心臟病的) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the
second."Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they
learned about nutrition when they were younger," the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said."We're hoping that this
program can help us deal with the problem."
     Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150
health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one
day's meals to several weeks' worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get
further information.
     Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University's Hirakata Hospital, also in
Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients
photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them. "Patients
used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估) their portions (份)," Kimura
said. "Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results."
     As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses
such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more
than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased
risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping
to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the
cellphone program will help.

     As everybody knows, tourism plays an important part in the development of a country's economy, the life
of the nation and international cooperation. Individually, it can enlarge our personal perspective and knowledge,
and make us feel good.
     However, tourism can also lead to pollution and the destruction of places of interest, which is difficult to
avoid.
     Fortunately, "Green Tourism" is now being promoted and developed all over the world. As time goes by,
people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. "Green Tourism" teaches people to love
nature more and to consciously protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery and learning more about it. "Green
Tourism" is the best kind of tourism as its purpose is to appreciate and research natural environments including
wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.
     Compared with traditional tourism, the main characteristic (特色) of "Green Tourism" is learning more
about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel the world to amuse themselves and pass time pleasantly.
But "Green Tourists" are different. They travel because they are attracted by the characteristics of protected
areas. They want to make good use of natural resources but not use them up. For example, they research the
wildlife, the culture and the customs or a place so that they can learn more about the history and value of the
area.
     In short, "Green Tourism" has a purpose and a plan, but not to pollute or destroy our places of interest.
1. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Green Tourism
B. The Difference between Green Tourism and Traditional Tourism
C. Travel Habits Are Changing
D. How to Have a Good Journey
2. The underlined word "promoted" in the third paragraph probably means ____.
A. raised
B. pushed
C. encouraged
D. advanced
3. Which of the following is NOT the difference between Green Tourism and Traditional Tourism?
A. Green Tourism can enlarge people's personal perspective and knowledge and make them feel good.
B. The main characteristic of Green Tourism is learning more about nature and people.
C. Traditional tourism is to amuse people themselves and make them pass time pleasantly.
D. Traditional tourism can lead to more pollution and the destruction of places of interest than Green Tourism.
4. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ____.
A. a supporter of tourism
B. a supporter of Traditional Tourism
C. a supporter of Green Tourism
D. a lover of tourism

     Scientific discoveries have changed man's life a great deal during the past century. First of all, they have
greatly improved material well-being in several areas of life. In the field of medicine, cures for life threatening
diseases have enabled people to live longer. In communication, the telephone and e-mail have made it possible
for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices. Advances in
transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.
Space technology has put men on the moon. More efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal
and solar power, have been explored.
     Scientific discoveries have also changed man's moral atmosphere. Ethical (倫理的) issues are raised by
these discoveries. Should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow
him to die in dignity? With advances in transportation had come the problem of pollution for nearly every major
city in the world. If cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price
to pay. Many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems
that have not been solved on earth. During future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well
as the practical applications of science.

     Car sharing is another way to drive green that's gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas. People who
may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most from car
sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非營利的) and
informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they
need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and
then go to the pickup spot.
     Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members
don't drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don't need a car, they don't use one. Still,
a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or
if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the
headaches of ownership. They usually don't have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保養(yǎng)), and the
monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren't ready to
totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
     If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing ______.
A. has become the most popular way to go to work
B. has become the best way to cut living costs
C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) areas
2. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. Zipcar can't help you if you are running urgent errands
B. Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit
C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment
D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
3. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. why people will share a car
B. why car sharing benefits the environment
C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D. why a car is available to members
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Car sharing has become a new trend (趨勢).
B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.

     A single night of taking the drug Ecstasy (搖頭丸) can cause serious brain damage and speed up the start
of Parkinson's disease, scientists say. Just two or three Ecstasy tablets can permanently destroy brain cells
that affect movement and reasoning, according to American research that links the drug to Parkinson's for
the first time.
     A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, involving squirrel monkeys and
baboons (狒狒) found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells, which are lost in Parkinson's,
after receiving three low doses (劑量) of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.
     The study is particularly important because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain.
George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that the widespread abuse of drug might have caused severe
damage. "The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk of developing
Parkinsonism as they get older."
     Alan Leshner, a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, said, "This study emphasizes
the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy causes to users. We've long known that repeated use damages brain cells.
But this study shows that even very occasional use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain
systems. It sends an important message to young people: don't experiment with your own brain."
     Janet Betts, a mother whose teenage daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995, said, "This
comes as no surprise. But people can't see the effects at first, and they say it won't happen to them. We'll see
the symptoms later, just as we have with smoking."
1. The article is intended to _____.
A. explain the bad effects of drugs on people's health
B. warn young people of the risk of taking the drug Ecstasy
C. persuade people out of such bad habits as smoking and using drugs
D. tell us the links between the drug Ecstasy and Parkinson's disease
2. We know from the passage that a low dose of Ecstasy _____.
A. won't cause serious brain damage
B. can permanently destroy one's brain cells
C. will result in immediate symptoms
D. may bring on Parkinson's at once
3. Why are squirrel monkeys and baboons involved in the experiments?
A. Because their brain is similar to human being's.
B. Because these animals usually take drugs.
C. Because these animals will soon get well after the experiment.
D. Because there is a model in the animals' brains.
4. The underlined word "This" in the last paragraph probably means that _____.
A. Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995
B. taking drug has the same symptoms as smoking
C. occasional use of the drug can have long-lasting effects on the brain systems
D. people have long known that repeated use of the drug damages brain cells
