No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy?to?swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中風(fēng)) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow.

Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管)．A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre?existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(靈活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease—responsible for 180,000 deaths a year—and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(關(guān)節(jié)炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer.

Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean?style diet rich in tomatoes, fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(膽固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease.

Preliminary results from a two?month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the endothelium—the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise.

Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge University's clinical trials unit, said，“These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.”

Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol?lowing drugs.

Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, that's a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A．We can eat too much tomato food.

B．Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.

C．Tomatoes will lose healthy elements if they are put into pills.

D．We had better not eat tomatoes.

2.We can learn from the passage that the pills ________.

A．a(chǎn)re at the experiment stage

B．can cure all the disease

C．a(chǎn)re widely used among patients

D．cost patients so little money

3.Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?

A．Children. B．Youth.

C．Working people. D．Old healthy people.

4.What was Ian Wilkinson's opinion on the trial?

A．Disappointing. B．Surprising.

C．Satisfactory. D．Terrible.

According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel (專家咨詢組) on Climate Change, global temperatures have risen by approximately 0.6℃ in the past century, caused mainly by emissions of greenhouse gases produced by human activities，such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.Temperatures are to increase between 1.6℃ and 5.8℃ in the next century, accompanied by sea level rise and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.

The best available evidence suggests that climate changes since the 1970s may already be causing over 150,000 deaths annually, and that greenhouse gas emissions would increase disease burdens in the coming decades.The risks are concentrated in the poorest population, who have contributed least to the problem.

The Kyoto Protocol (京都議定書) is signed by 128 nations，and commits the participating industrialized countries to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases by over 5% below 1990 level by the period of 2008?2012.

“Over 600 thousand people died in weather?related disasters in the 1990s.Temperature and rainfall influence the rates of diseases and infections including malaria，and malnutrition，which together cause over 3.5 million deaths a year.The Kyoto Protocol is the first step towards protecting the climate system，which exerts such a strong influence on our health”，said Dr Kerstin Leitner，Assistant Director?General for Sustainable Development and Healthy Environments.

While acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is also essential to protect vulnerable (脆弱的) communities from the effects of climate changes.WHO works to promote measures such as protection from malaria and other climate sensitive diseases, and reliable access to clean water and sanitation, for people in the most vulnerable developing countries.Increasing disease control efforts will also help to protect current and future generations from the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.

1.According to the passage, what is the reason for the rise of global temperatures?

A．The burning of fossil fuels.

B．The rise of sea level.

C．Extreme weather disasters.

D．The emissions of greenhouse gases.

2.Which of the following is true?

A．Weather?related disasters caused over 3.5 million deaths.

B．The climate system has a deep impact on human health.

C．The members of the Kyoto Protocol are all industrialized countries.

D．The poorest population are to blame because they contribute least to the problem.

3.In order to protect communities, WHO takes some measures except________.

A．preventing diseases caused by climate changes

B．helping to provide clean water

C．a(chǎn)iding to offer sanitation

D．gaining access to vulnerable developing countries

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Climate changes and the effects on human health.

B．Climate changes cause over 15,000 deaths annually.

C．Who promotes measures such as protection from malaria.

D．The Kyoto Protocol helps to protect human health.

Contrary to people's previous knowledge, it's food shortage not dietary preference that motivates birds to migrate thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and non?breeding areas each year, a new research shows.

“It's not whether you eat insects，fruits or candy bars or where you eat them that counts，but how reliable that day?to?day food source is，” said the study leader W．Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.

To figure out the underlying pressure that drives some birds to leave home for the season，Boyle examined 379 related species of New World flycatchers(捕蠅鳥) and compared their sizes，food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.

To compare the birds，the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary relationships among different species.

A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird's environment was forcing it to leave each season.Boyle and her colleagues found that food shortage was the number one issue that predicted a species' migratory behavior. “Food availability is the underlying pressure, not diet and habitat，” Boyle said.

An alternative strategy that the birds use to handle food shortage is to hunt in flocks, since a group is more likely to find a new source of food than an individual.

“If you suffer from food shortage, you have two options，” Boyle said.“You can either hunt with other birds or you can migrate.”

1.Birds were thought to migrate in order to ________.

A．seek their favorite food in a new place

B．a(chǎn)void being constantly hunted

C．breed more young in a new place

D．a(chǎn)djust themselves to the changes of weather

2.What is Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?

A．The aim of the research.

B．The basis of the research.

C．The process of the research.

D．The findings of the research.

3.The passage implies that ________.

A．the birds' food sources are getting rare in the world

B．the living surroundings are severe for birds

C．birds search for food separately

D．birds can survive only by hunting in flocks

4.For what purpose does the author write the text?

A．Educating readers.

B．Informing readers.

C．Drawing people's attention.

D．Condemning the bad environment.

Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

1.Language learning is cumulative(積累): you cannot put it off until the weekend._2.

Distribute(分配) your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day

Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc, Get an overview during half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar…_3._ About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背誦)or practice.

Attend and participate in every class-even if you aren't well prepared

4._ Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time.

Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.

Make yourself comfortable in the classroom

Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you're among friends. Visit your teacher during office time to get acquainted(熟悉的) : explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.

Learn grammar if you don't already know it

Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.

Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test

If the test will require you to write, then study by writing including spelling and accents. _5._ Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

A. Study every day.

B. Review lessons separately.

C. Have more practice in listening.

D. So you'll at least have looked at it all.

E. If you're asked to listen, practice listening.

F. Class time is your best opportunity 1o practice.

G. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.
