【題目】From VOA learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.

Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking. Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer.

In fact, the United Nations' cancer research agency decided to list hot drinks with lead, gasoline and exhaust fumes as “possibly carcinogenic.” In other words, each one could cause cancer.

Researchers at IARC(The International Agency for Research on Cancer) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus(食管).

In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, researchers said “this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.”

In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably.

The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.

In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as “possibly carcinogenic.” WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.

Christopher Wild is the director of the IARC. When he spoke with the AFP news agency, he said the results “suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.”

But how common is esophageal cancer? Worldwide, it is the eighth most common cancer. Cancer of the esophagus killed about 400,000 people in 2012.

本文為記敘文。這里是美國之音慢速英語健康與生活報(bào)道：喝高溫?zé)犸嫽蛞l(fā)癌癥。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段From VOA learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report 。 “這里是VoA慢速英語健康與生活報(bào)道”。由此可知這是節(jié)選自新聞報(bào)道。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段最后一句Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer. 及第七段…that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible. 喝非常熱的飲料是可能導(dǎo)致食管癌的一個(gè)原因。研究人員稱，待熱飲冷卻后飲用或能避免某些癌癥。由此可知D. Dinks不是導(dǎo)致癌癥的。第三段內(nèi)容“聯(lián)合國癌癥研究機(jī)構(gòu)決定將熱飲與鉛、汽油及廢氣一同列入“潛在致癌”的名單中�！笨芍�A、B和C是導(dǎo)致癌癥的原因，故D項(xiàng)符合題意。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段Christopher Wild…“suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible. 喝非常熱的飲料是可能導(dǎo)致食管癌的一個(gè)原因，而且是飲料的溫度，而不是飲料本身，似乎對(duì)此有影響的。由此可知，喝熱飲料與食管癌有一定的關(guān)系。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)與之相符。故穩(wěn)定D項(xiàng)。

【4】推理判斷題。本文內(nèi)容可知，coffee指的是“咖啡”，而beverage是“飲料”，根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，咖啡就是飲料的一種，是從屬關(guān)系。A. Rose and flowers玫瑰與花；B. Tea and milk荼與牛奶；C. Fish and water 魚和水 D. Cancer and doctor癌癥與醫(yī)生。分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)（玫瑰是花一種 ），二者是從屬關(guān)系，符合題意，故選A .

【題目】 Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.

Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(認(rèn)可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?

In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(許諾) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.

【1】What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Completion of the goal.B.Necessary hard work.

C.People's acknowledgement.D.A sense of satisfaction.

【2】What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?

A.Writing down the goal is very helpful.

B.Achieving personal goal needs more time.

C.Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.

D.Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.

【3】How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?

A.By giving figures.B.By giving examples.

C.By making a survey.D.By making comparison tests.

【4】What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?

A.You will be more confident.B.You will not gain satisfaction.

C.You are less likely to realize it.D.You’ll be much more motivated.
