Direction：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given by the passage．
Behavioral risk factors have a great effect on cancer risk in the elderly population of the US, according to a research．About 80 percent of all cancers are diagnosed(诊断)in the elderly, and more than 80 percent of known risk factors are possibly preventable, US researchers say．
Igor Akushevich of Duke University in Durham, N．C．, said the main purpose of the study was to discover a way to find out the contributions of measurable risk factors to cancer risk among the elderly．More analysis is needed before the finding can actually be used．“So far, we have not come to the stage where we are able to make specific recommendations regarding risk factors,” Akushevich said in a statement．But according to the study, cigarette smoking does increase the risk of lung cancer．
The researchers said they were surprised at some of the findings．Cancer risk is not connected with alcohol drinking, as reported in other studies．A possible explanation may be that those aged 65 or older tend to drink moderately(适度地)．
“Other interesting findings are an increased risk of breast cancer for those women who are afraid to go to the doctor to have examinations and a decreased risk of breast and lung cancers for those who never lose their temper,” Akushevich said．
Light and moderate physical activities decrease the risk of cancer, but too much exercise may augment the risk, the study said．
The findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research．
1．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “augment”．
2．According to the passage, what kinds of people are less likely to develop breast and lung cancer?(no more than 5 words)
3．What's the main idea of this passage?(no more than 6 words)

It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.
It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closet station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home——our first car ride of the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
1.Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?
A. Having a car ride.
B. Taking the train twice.
C. Buying more than one toy.
D. Touring the historic district.
2.According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A. Building confidence in herself.
B. Reducing her use of private cars.
C. Developing her sense of direction.
D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
3.The underlined word “paralyzed” (in Para. 5) is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. displayed
B. justified
C. ignored
D. ruined
4.Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?
A. Airplane.
B. Subway.
C. Tram.
D. Car.
