Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains ingredients（材料）that may favour weight loss ___40___ than fat synthesis, scientists believe.___41___ boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, ___42___ is published in Archives of Internal Medicine. The link remained even when other factors, like how ___43___ exercise individuals did, were taken into ___44___.And it appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The ___45___ found no link with quantity consumed.
    ___46___ to the researchers, there is only one chance in a hundred that their findings could be explained by chance alone. Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said: "Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight."This is not the first time scientists ___47___ that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity and cholesterol（胆固醇）level. And chocolate, ___48___ dark chocolate, does contain antioxidants（抗氧化剂）which can help to mop up harmful free radicals - unstable chemicals that can damage our cells.
    Dr Golomb and her team believe that antioxidant compounds, called catechins（儿茶素）, can improve lean muscle mass and reduce weight  ___49___ studies in rodents would suggest this might be so. Mice ___50___ for 15 days with epicatechin (present in dark chocolate) had improved exercise performance and observable changes to their muscle composition.They say clinical trials are now needed in humans to see ___51___ this is the case.
    But before you reach ___52___ a chocolate bar, there are still lots of unanswered questions. And in the absence of conclusive evidence, experts advise caution.While there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat like ___53___ now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often ___54___ a lot of sugar and fat too.And if you are looking to change your diet, you are ___55___ to benefit most from eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.

    Cholera is a water-borne disease that is spread through polluted water and food. Cholera is an illness caused by the bacterium. It produces a poison that causes a painless , watery diarrhea( 痢疾)  that can quickly lead to severe dehydration（脱水） and death if treatment is not given. Most persons infected with cholera do not become ill, although the bacterium is present in their waste for 7-14 days. When this illness does strike, more than 90% of the time is not severe and is difficult to tell from other types of diarrhea. Less than 10% of sick persons develop cholera with signs of moderate or severe dehydration.
    A person may get cholera by drinking water or eating food polluted with the cholera bacterium. The disease can spread rapidly in areas without the proper treatment of drinking water. The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in dirty rivers and coastal waters. Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera. Therefore, the disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to another.
    Cholera can be simply and successfully treated by immediate replacement of the fluid and salts lost through diarrhea. Patients can be treated by being given a mixture of sugar and salt to be mixed with water and drunk in large amount. Antibiotics(抗生素) shorten the course and decrease the severity of the illness. To avoid cholera, we should eat well-cooked food instead of raw food.
    小题1:If a person infected with cholera less than 7 days，he would probably   .
    A. die  B.  become sick  C remain healthy  D suffer from watery diarrhea
    小题2:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A Cholera can spread directly from one person to another.
    B. Eating raw food can help stop cholera.
    C. Cholera is caused by watery diarrhea.
    D. Polluted water and food can help spread cholera.
    小题3: Cholera can be treated by         .
    A．replacing the blood in the body.
    B．eating a lot of water mixed with sugar and salt and using antibiotics.
    C．eating a large amount of sugar and salt
    D．drinking a lot of water and eating a large amount of food.
    小题4:In order to avoid cholera, people should         .
    A inject antibiotics     B eat the food thoroughly cooked
    C eat raw food      D. avoid meeting other people

    Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest wealth(财富)," wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
    If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
    The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
    Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story.
    An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
    He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule-Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is. The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.
    A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
    "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."

    A．without examining the patient
    B．after he has examined the patient

    A．was a heavy smoker
    B．didn't smoke so much

    "Children should not be left unsupervised (无人监督的) to play with a dog." say experts in this week's British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.
    "Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children." write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.
    Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.
    Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).
    In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for its babies.
    "Dog owners also need to change their behavior", says Rachel Besser, a children's doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.
    "It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog", she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary （预防的) behaviors around dogs.
    Finally, she would like to see animal doctors advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.   
    小题1:Dog biting is a problem which _____.
    A．only happens to a few childrenB．should be paid attention to
    C．only boys may meet withD．has made news headlines
    小题2:The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refers to "________" .
    A. doctors         B. parents            C. experts            D dog owners
    小题3:To avoid dog bites, a child should be taught to_____.
    A．have direct eye contact B．approach an unfamiliar dog
    C．run or scream in the presence of a dogD．leave a dog feeding itself
    小题4:What are Rachel Besser's words mainly about?
    A．It's necessary to teach children how to raise dogs.
    B．Children should be taught not to play with dogs.
    C．All the dog owners would like to attend classes on caring for dogs.
    D．Some dog owners would like children to be left unsupervised with a dog.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A．Dogs, Dangerous To Children
    B．Children Should Know Behaviors Around Dogs
    C．Doctors, Treat Dog Bites Correctly
    D．Never Leave Children Unsupervised With Dogs

    Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline（下降） when they reach middle age.
    The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
    “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
    “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
    What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s. “This gender（ 性别） difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.
    The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
    小题1:The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”.
    A．healthB．ageingC．long lifeD．effect
    小题2:The text mainly talks about ________.
    A．men’s heart cellsB．women’s ageing process
    C．the gender differenceD．hearts and long life
    小题3:According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.
    A．women have more cells than men when they are born
    B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
    C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age
    D．women never lose their pumping power with age
    小题4:If you want to live longer, you should ________.
    A．exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
    B．find out the reason for ageing
    C．enable your heart to beat much faster
    D．prevent your cells from being lost
    小题5:We can know from the passage that ________.
    A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
    B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
    C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
    D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

    These days, people are concerned about the growing number of kids who are overweight. The number of overweight kids has increased a lot over the last 30 years. Today, more than 15% of the kids aged 6 to 19 are overweight.
    In a recent study in the USA, 1,168 boys and girls were asked about the problem. More than half of them said too many girls were overweight.
    What does “Overweight” Mean?
    Most people who are overweight have too much body fat. The person who is overweight weighs more than is healthy. Being overweight can lead to health problems, like heart disease. Overweight kids also may feel sad about the way they look. Sometimes they get laughed at by other kids and it is harder for overweight kids to make friends.
    Why Are Some Kids Overweight?
    When asked why some kids were overweight, many kids said it was because overweight kids didn’t exercise enough or eat right. Others said that kids were overweight because fast food restaurants serve the wrong foods or it’s a problem of genes.
    How Are the Kids Trying to Lose Weight?
    Plenty of kids said they have tried to lose weight and they have been trying to do the following:
    ● go on a diet – 17%
    ● eat healthy and exercise – 64%
    ● eat out less – 4%
    ● take medicine – 5%
    It’s great that kids are thinking about weight problems and are trying to solve them. It’s like putting together a difficult puzzle. Understanding that there’s a problem is one piece. Understanding what causes kids to be overweight is another. And knowing that eating healthy and exercising are the best ways to fix the problem is a very important piece.
    小题1:How do overweight kids feel about the way they look?
    ___________________________________________________________________
    小题2:Some kids have tried to lose weight. What have 64% of them been trying to do?

    Health officials issued a waring over common energy-saving l一ghtbulbs(灯泡) after research showed some types could potentially harm the skin and may even raise the risk of cancer.
    A study by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) found that some eco-friendly lightbuulbs release levels of ultraviolet (UV) (紫外线) radiation that are above recognized safety limits. The agency urged people who work with lamps nearby to avoid spending more than one hour within a foot of the eco-friendly bulbs. The warning was directed at those using desk lamps for long periods, such as jewellery makers, and others who might have lights close to their faces, such as car mechanics.
    John O’Hagan, a scientist at the HPA’s centre for radiation, chemical and environmental dangers, began tests on the ligthbulbs after patient groups raised concern about them. Among the groups were patients with a skin disease called lupus, which makes people highly sensitive to light.
    The tests measured UV light from the lamps and found the highest levels of UV radiation, measured 2cm from the lightbulbs, were equivalent to being outside in direct sunlight in the summer. The most immediate risk from the lightbulbs is a reddening of the skin similar to sunburn, but there is also a small increased risk of skin cancer associated with this, again similar to that of sunburn.
    The risk of health problems from the lightbulbs was not so high that people should remove them from their homes. People are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work until the problem is sorted out. It has confirmed that the government will not be reviewing its strategy on introducing energy efficient lightbulbs.
    小题1:The underlined word “equivalent” in paragraph 4  most probably means ______.
    A．equalB．vitalC．relevantD．harmful
    小题2:In order not to be harmed by the UV radiation from some lightbulbs, people should ______.
    A．stop using eco-friendly lightbulbs at home
    B．avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work
    C．take care not to expose their skin to direct sunlight
    D．urge the government to ban the use of lightbulbs
    小题3:In the next part, the author would most probably further explain _____.
    A．why people needn’t remove the lightbulbs from their homes
    B．how researchers have planned to sort out the problem
    C．how the government has responded to HPA’s discovery
    D．how long people should work close to the open lightbulbs
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that ____.
    A．health officials issued a warning over common lightbulbs.
    B．jewellery makers should avoid working with the eco-friendly bulbs for more than one hour
    C．John O’Hagan did tests on the lightbulbs with some patients
    D．people are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work
