The impact of smoke screen on adolescents
The study began by recruiting over 2,600 US school children aged 10 to 14 who had never smoked. Each child was then asked if they had watched any of 50 movies randomly 【1】(select) from 601 box office hits. The number of occurrences of smoking in each film was recorded.
When followed up one to two years later, 10 percent of the children had tried 【2】(smoke). The children in the top quarter of exposure to movie smoking were 2.7 times more likely to have tried a cigarette than 【3】 in the lowest quarter of exposure. This effect was independent of other factors that might influence the child’s smoking behavior, such as friends or family smoking.
“If provides more evidence 【4】 movies have a strong impact on adolescents,” says Dalton, an expert in cancer risk behavior in children. “Previous studies suggested that smoking in movies 【5】(influence) adolescent smoking behavior, but this is the first study to show that viewing smoking in movies predicts 【6】will start smoking in the future.”
Dalton says a previous study by the team showed that children were more likely to smoke 【7】 their favorite actor smoked. “We know from past studies it’s very rare for smoking to be portrayed in a negative light. Smokers in movies tend to be tough guys or sexy, rebellious women, which appeals to adolescents,” she told New Scientist.
Movies which depict smoking 【8】 be given an adult rating or “R rating” in the US, suggests Glantz, which would mean that children under 17 could not see the film 【9】 a parent. An R rating for smoking in movies would prevent about 330 adolescents in the US from starting to smoke and ultimately 【10】(extend) 170 lives every day,” he writes.

【题目】Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.
Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
【1】What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Exercise makes people strong.
B. How one can get good scores in a test.
C. Exercise can help the brain develop.
D. Brain can change one’s memory.
【2】Why is yoga suggested for the old?
A. Because it does good to the joints of old people.
B. Because it does not increase the heart rate.
C. Because it can help learn new actions.
D. Because it can be done in groups.
【3】For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _____.
A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per week
C. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month

【题目】 Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky eating after a teenager developed permanent sight loss after living on a diet of chips and crisps.
Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only French fries, white bread, as well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage.
The adolescent, who cannot be named, had seen his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he was diagnosed with lack of vitamin B12 and put on supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.
Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said: "His diet was only a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on chips, white bread and sometimes slices of ham or sausage, and not really any fruit and vegetables."
The teen explained this as a dislike to certain kinds of food that he really could not tolerate, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat.
Dr Aan rechecked the young man's vitamin levels and said "he was low in B12 as well as some other important vitamins and minerals - copper, selenium and vitamin D. He was not over or underweight, but was severely malnutritional from his eating disorder. He had lost minerals from his bone, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.”
"He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision," said Dr Atari's assistant. "That means he can't drive and would find it really difficult to read, watch TV or recognize faces, but he can walk around on his own because he has got peripheral(周边的)vision.
The condition the young man has is treatable if diagnosed early. Left too long, however, the nerve fibres in the optic nerve(视神经)die and the damage becomes permanent.
Now he has been put on vitamin supplements and sent to a dietitian and a specialist mental health team.
【1】What can we know about the boy?
A.He didn't see a doctor.B.He can not see anything now.
C.He has a normal body shape.D.He insisted on taking supplements.
【2】What kind of food does the boy refuse to eat?
A.Crisps and chips.B.white bread
C.Ham and sausage.D.fruit and vegetables
【3】What can we learn from Dr Atan's words?
A.Vegetables and fruit are the only source of vitamins.
B.Lack of vitamins and minerals may lead to the loss of sigh.
C.The more vitamins we take, the betterr.
D.Loss of minerals from bone causes blindness.
【4】What column does the passage belong to?
A.MedicineB.Education
C.EconomyD.culture

On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 【1】fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.
