It’s been said that a smile is the lighting system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart. But a smile is also a powerful 36 against toxic (有害的) attitudes of all kinds.
Lisa Smith, of Portland, Oregon, wrote to me about a man whose smile 37 her life: “I was having a horrible day — 38 my job, tired of the weather, tired of trying to make ends meet, and just feeling 39 . I stopped at the 40 in the morning and, as I was 41 , an older businessman said to me that it was going to be a 42 day and life shouldn’t be as 43 as I make it look. I glared at him and 44 said, ‘I wish it was Friday.’
“I felt 45 about my day when I left the post office ... that man’s smile and comment, although irritating (使人心烦的) 46 , made me think.
“The second time I 47 the man, I went out of my way to say ‘Happy Friday’ to him and to 48 . I saw him a few more times and always he was happy and made my 49 .
“I looked for him around Christmas time to give him a 50 and explain how his kind words and smile made me 51 my thinking and realize I didn’t have it so bad. 52 I have not seen him at the post office since then. I look every morning ... I go at different times to see if I can catch him. Maybe he is 53 , or maybe he is ill. I think to myself, ‘I wish I had thanked him for being a kind person.’ I can honestly say this man changed my life. I will work to 54 that same feeling to those I see in 55 of a smile.” ( 323 words )

Girls who get enough dairy(牛奶的) products in their diets may weigh less than other teens with the same age.
Girls who consumed more dairy products were found to have slimmer(苗条的) middles than girls of the same age and race who ate the same number of calories and got the same amount of exercise. Girls who drank more soda, but also ate the same total calories, tended to be heavier.
The newly reported study included 323 white and Asian girls between the ages of 9 and 14.
A number of studies, mostly in adults, have shown that calcium(钙)may be key in maintaining normal body weight and fat stores. One reason may be the nutrient’s effects on hormones that help store calories as fat. In the new study, reported in the Journal of Nutrition, calcium from dairy sources, but not non-dairy foods, was related to lower weight and less abdominal(腹部的)fat―the link was particularly strong among girls of Asian decent(血统), who made up 47 percent of the study group. This suggests that “the dairy ingredient of the calcium intake is the key factor,” write the study authors, led by Dr. Rachel Novotny of the University of Hawaii in
For reasons that are unclear, the effect on body fat was stronger for Asian girls than for white girls, according to Novotny and her colleagues. They speculate that ethnic(种族的)differences in which dairy products are usually consumed, or in eating habits-having small amounts of dairy throughout the day, for instance, rather than a single large serving―may help explain the finding.
According to the researchers, soda may increase pounds by adding calories to kid’s diets, or by replacing milk. Milk, they note, has a range of nutrients, including protein and fat, which means it is metabolized(使新陈代谢)relatively slowly. Soda contains only sugar, which is quickly metabolized, easily causing hunger.

A coal-fire stove（炉灶）provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital.
With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways（小巷） that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental（伤感） to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life.
Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions（排放） of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels.
Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan （US$323） per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal.
1． Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______.
A．people in Beijing are using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics.
B．people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment.
C．hutongs in Beijing have a long history.
D．people pay more money to use electric radiators than before.
2．The underlined word eliminate in the second paragraph probably means________
A．cut down. B．increase. C．get rid of. D．replace
3．We can infer from the passage that ______
A．Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove.
B．The government will pay most of the fee.
C．The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s.
D．The people do not use coal eight months in one year.
4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The clean air is important when the Olympics Games are held in Beijing.
B．The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air.
C．The government spares no effort to make the environment better.
D．The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.
