An analysis by Mount Sinai researchers of over eight years of dietary data from more than 400,000 people has found that the relationship between high consumption of fruits and vegetables and a reduced risk of cancer is not as strong as commonly thought. The study is published online April 6, 2010 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. It is widely believed that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer. In 1990, the WHO recommended eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to prevent cancer and other diseases. However, although many studies have been conducted since then, none have been able to confirm an association between fruit and vegetable intake and cancer resistance.
Paolo Boffetta, MD, MPH, lead author of the study and Deputy Director of The Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and colleagues analyzed data from the EPIC study to evaluate relationships between cancer risk and intake of total fruit and vegetables combined.
The EPIC followers, which are ongoing and organized by professor Elio Riboli at Imperial College in London, included 142,605 men and 335,873 women surveyed between 1992 and 2000 from 10 Western European countries. Detailed information on their dietary habits and lifestyle differences was obtained. After 8.7 years of follow – up, more than 30,000 of the study"s participants were diagnosed with cancer.
Dr. Boffetta and colleagues found a small but significant opposite relationship between high intake of fruits and vegetables and overall cancer risk. In this population, an increase of 200 grams a day of fruits and vegetables resulted in a reduction of about 3 percent of cancer risk. Vegetable consumption by itself also afforded a modest benefit but was restricted to women. Heavy drinkers who ate many fruits and vegetables had a somewhat reduced risk, but only for cancers caused by smoking and alcohol.
"The bottom line here is that, yes, we did find a protective effect of fruit and vegetable intake against cancer, but it is a smaller connection than previously thought," said Dr. Boffetta. "Any cancer protective effect of these foods is likely to be modest, at best.
"However, eating fruits and vegetables is beneficial for health in general and the results of this study do not justify changing current recommendations aiming at increasing intake of these foods," said Dr. Boffetta.
63.A new study shows that .
A.eating fruits and vegetables is beneficial to health
B.a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer
C.eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day can prevent cancer and other diseases

B.heavy drinkers have the slightest chance of cancer
C.the WHO’s recommendations were modest
D.the WHO’s recommendations aim at increasing intake of fruits and vegetables
65.The population who took part in this study amounted to .
A.142,605 B.335,873 C.more than 400,000 D.30,000
66.From this study, we can infer that .
A.the intake of fruits and vegetables will be no longer necessary
B.the connection between fruits and vegetables intakes and cancer resistance is smaller than originally thought
C.taking in fruits and vegetables will still be appreciated in spite of the new discovery
D.any cancer protective effect of these foods is likely to be modest
People across America are lining up at doctor’s offices, hospitals, and even shopping streets hoping to receive a flu shot .However, many of them have returned home without one.
This year’s flu season is starting early and it’s already spreading quickly .Officials said that the flu has now spread to 50states.That’s why the flu shot isn’t easy to find.
Help will soon be on its way .A manufacturer of the will ship 100,000 doses for adults, and 150,000for children soon. Although this could be one of the worst flu outbreaks in years, experts say that the flu is not a very serious disease for most people.
“We don’t need to fear or worry that something very bad will happen,” said the director of Centers for Disease control and Prevention.” Most of us will get through this fine.”

Gerberling also reminds people to use common sense during flu season. People should cover their mouths and noses when they cough ,and wash their hands often .children who have symptoms of the flu should stay home from school, and adults who develop the symptoms shouldn’t go to work .This simple prevention could prevent the illness from spreading .
Of course, there is always chicken soup to make you feel better. Scientific studies show that chicken soup actually does help people breathe better when they are sick. Scientists say that any hot liquid will help, but for some reason, soup does it best .they say that the soup’s smell may be important, but they are not completely sure why. And if you don’t like chicken, keep in mind that the healing effect comes from the soup ,not the chicken.

They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.
This was when I began to enjoy my first life. I was very happy, in excellent health. I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula (半岛) in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted (使苦恼) with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus began my second life...
In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keep my health and optimism (乐观), to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy? Not at all. Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---I could then admit defeat and lie down and die.
Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. Suddenly the steering wheel jerked (猝然一动). In the same instant I heard the bang of a blowout. It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!
I started the engine and thumped slowly along until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and honked the horn.
The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm.
About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple. Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.”
56. “A cat has nine lives” here means ___________.
A. a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal B .a cat can die ninth
C .a lucky man can not die easily D the writer will live nine times
57. What do you think of the man who helped change the tire?
A. Old, warm-hearted but pitiable
B. Blind, but warm-hearted and happy
C. A blind old man that has nothing to do every day.
D. A poor old man that is always ready to help others.
58. How will the story be ended?
A. The writer paid the little girl but the old man did not accept.
B. The writer drove away with tears running down his cheek.
C. The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do it.
D. In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt
before.
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence “I followed my sister’s example?”
A. He listened to his sister carefully.
B Mother told him that he must get the agreement from his sister for whatever he would do.
C His sister got married. He, too.
D His sister was a great woman.. He must learn from her.
60. The best title for this passage perhaps will be _____.

China is working hard to deal with the contaminated(被污染的)milk products scandal(丑闻), which has so far left four babies dead, a senior official with the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.
Dr Shigeru Omi, director of the WHO Western Pacific regional office, told a press conference that China is taking the issue "seriously".
"After admitting the problems, the Chinese government is very serious about the matter and I hope the situation will be brought under control as soon as possible," Omi said.
The WHO is assisting China in looking into the scandal but will not conduct its own investigations(调查), Omi said.
Globalization means the scandal that started in China is a problem for people around the world, he said.
"Every country can be affected, so the international community should work together to solve the problem," he said.
Since the scandal over the contaminated dairy products broke, 6,244 infants have fallen ill, 150 have been diagnosed with acute kidney failure(肾衰竭), and four have died.
Investigations have shown the babies were made sick by the presence of melamine (三聚氰胺)in milk formula(配方奶粉). Anothony Hazzard, a food safety specialist at the WHO"s Western Pacific regional office, said the decision by some countries to recall milk products imported from China was "reasonable".
"I think many countries decided on the recall, I think under this kind of situation when the picture is not yet clear, it a very reasonable position that countries take."
52. How many babies have died since the scandal broke?A. NoneB. 150C. 6244D. Four
53. The underlined word “ infants” probably means____.
