  Below is some advice on how to prevent cancer:

8 Ways to Avoid Cancer in Your Life

  1.Eat Blueberries

  Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon(结肠)cancer-fighting prosperities.But wait, it gets better.Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C(14 milligrams per cup).So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.

  2.Drink Pomegranate(石榴)Juice

  The deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture.Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit the growth of lung cancer.

  3.Relax

  Feeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer.Purdue University researchers tracked 1, 600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period.Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer.Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!

  4.Take Selenium(硒)

  Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties.In a study of almost 1, 000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate(前列腺)cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent.However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.

  5.Eat Sushi(寿司)

  Seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins A and C.Sushi rolls are also high in protein-a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein.So don't skimp(节省)on the Sushi!

  6.Enjoy the Outdoors

  Vitamin D causes early death of cancer cells.A study published in the American Journey of Clinical Nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1, 000 international.Units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer ever a four-year period that did women taking a placebo(无效对照剂).Experts recommend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1, 100 to 2, 000IU of vitamin D each day.

  7.Breathe Clean Air

  There's no question that secondhand smoke kills.A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen(致癌物质)in their urine(尿)than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations.What's worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked.Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants.The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke.

  8.Break a Sweat

  Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits.In a study of 29, 110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis(转移性)prostate cancer than men who didn't work out at all.The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.

                                   A

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (认同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
