A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

BostonUniversity’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions likediabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quicklyabsorbed into the body and arenot stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those ofother foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles ofdifferent types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including thepast tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on aregular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years agosuggested that resveratrol白藜芦醇, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.

For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations—and how others will react to them-keeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have.

Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician（儿科医生）in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the community didn't serve her patients well in the long run.

"If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then there's no reason to expect them to be independent one day," Ross said. "It's a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting."

So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits.

Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights", when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume （音量）on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. "You can't turn down the volume of the world," Ross said. "It's nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night."

To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program.

She armed all the Phillies players and game-day staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event.

Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane.

Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. "We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future," she said.

【1】According to Ross, what does a social disability mean?

A.Fearing light and noise.

B.Lacking social experience.

C.Having to rely on others for help.

D.Being separated from the community.

【2】What does the underlined part "do more,, imply?

A.Making the ballpark less noisy.

B.Making baseball teams autism-friendly.

C.Providing a normal game for autistic children.

D.Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.

【3】What is the Philadelphia Phillies?

【4】What is the purpose of Ross's airport travel program?

A.To help families to learn about air travel.

Dear Jack,

I’m glad to learn that you are interesting in the students’ reading in your school. We have a grand library on a collection of 200,000 books and 5 large reading rooms, in that we have easy access to the network. Anyone fond of reading is freely to go there whenever they are available. A monthly activity is holding for students exchange their ideas about reading. Every autumn we had a reading festival where drama performances are shown and distinguished writer are invited.

In the library, books on history are my favorites, from which I get a better understanding of human civilization and a progress both in China and abroad.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

One night, 【1】 winter, a bear came into the city in Vancouver Canada. It walked through the city streets past houses, shops and offices. Then it 【2】 (find) some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. The police came with a vet (兽医) from the city zoo. They put the bear in a lorry and took it to the mountains outside the city. 【3】 (lucky), the bear was safe. But 【4】 happens in other countries when big animals come into cities? In Vancouver it is unusual 【5】 (see) a bear, but in some cities you can see big animals on the city streets every day.

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa baboons (狒狒) come into the city when they are 【6】 (hunger). Human food is very bad for the baboons 【7】 (tooth) because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are Baboon Monitors working in Cape Town. 【8】 (they) job is to find baboons in the city and return them to the countryside.

In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the city for food. They eat flowers and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they eat vegetables from gardens 【9】 they walk in the street, causing accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the government and the police to stop them 【10】 (enter) the city.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being ‘the biggest bookshop in the world’ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize — in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲学), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(业余爱好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
