    A new study shows that large amounts of vitamins and minerals can slow the loss of sight linked to aging. The condition is called age-related macular degeneration or A-M-D. The disease is a major cause of blindness among old people. Doctors don't know what causes it.

    The disease destroys the central part of the retina (视网膜), the cells at the back of the eye that gather light. The first sign of A-M-D usually is a loss of visual clearness. People with the disease have trouble reading, driving and recognizing faces. They can't see clearly through the center of their eyes. They must look at things from the sides of their eyes. Over time, A-M-D can cause blindness.

    The National Eye Institute carried out the six-year study. Almost 5,000 people in 11 areas of the USA took part. They were between the ages of 55 and 80. Some of the people had more severe forms of the disease than others.

    The researchers tested a combination of large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Some people in the study were given the mineral zinc. Others took the vitamins C and E. A third group received both the zinc and vitamins. The remaining people took inactive substances called placebos (安慰剂).

    The people in the study were in three groups. Based on the severity of their disease, the researchers compared the vision abilities and other conditions of the patients after 5 years of treatment. Their findings were published in the Archives of Ophthalmology (眼科学).

    The scientists say the combination of vitamins and zinc had no effect on patients with the least severe form of A-M-D.

    However, they say the vitamins and zinc helped people with more serious A-M-D.

    The treatment cut the risk of developing the most severe form of A-M-D by about 25%. The vitamins and zinc also prevented some vision loss for those patients already suffering severe A-M-D. The patients tak-ing zinc and vitamins separately also were helped but not as much as those taking both. Earlier studies had shown that people who eat large amounts of fruits and vegetables containing important vitamins are at lower risk of developing the eye disease.

    5. The disease of A-M-D can lead to ________.

    A. blindness B. visual clearnessC. visual loss D. cataract

    6. According to what they take, the scientists carried out a study and divided those people into________.

    A. two groups B. three groupsC. four groups D. five groups

    7. As a healthy person, we should eat more ________to prevent the disease A-M-D.

    A. mineral and zinc B. vitamins C. vitamin and zincD. fresh fruits and vegetables

    5. A。第一段倒数第二句即为本题答案出处。6. C。第四段即为本题答案出处。7. B。最后一段即本题答案出处。

    　　Tattoos(纹身)and body piercings(穿洞)have moved up on the trend list in recent years．Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink．Like all other subjects, we'll surely be faced with such situation．To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let's sit down and hear what they say．

    　　Kerstin Otto from Washington：

    　　The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn't be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button．

    　　Erin from Indiana：

    　　I think body piercing is cool．In most situations, you don't really have to worry about it getting torn out．I go to Noblesville High School．I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade)．Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent．I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I'll look bad．But that is my personal opinion．I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference．

    　　Tiara from Indiana：

    　　I personally think body piercing is sickening．If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them．I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong．There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing．Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous．I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button．

    　　Lee from Illinois：

    　　Hi!I live in Illinois．I am 23．I have 12 tattoos and three piercings．I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector．You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work．People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg．Most of them don't know what it is．They just think the work itself is great．

    　　Subotai from California：

    　　I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder．In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion．A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin．It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's．

    　　Nagib from Washington：

    　　I wanted an earring．My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing．I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn't let me．Now I'm glad I didn't get it．I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn't have looked good with it．

    　　Jackson from Ohio：

    　　I don't think it's wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything －I think that's ridiculous．People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body－I don't think that's necessary．When I see naked chicks on guys, I think．“You have no respect for women．”

    　　Brittney from New York：

    　　You don't want to do stuff to your body．You don t need to do that because you were made perfect．You don't need to add piercings．If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay．If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it．But otherwise, don't mess with what you got．Maybe you should try something more substantial(充实的)to find beauty in yourself．
