The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.

Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.

The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

68. What is the best possible title of the passage?

A) Drug and Food

B) Cancer and Health

C) Food and Health

D) Health and Drug

69. Which of the following statements is NOT ture?

A) Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

B) Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

C) Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years.

D) Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.

D) The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.

70. What are nitrates used for?

A) They preserve flavor in packaged foods.

B) They preserve the color of meats.

C) They are the objects of research.

D) They cause the animals to become fatter.

71. The underlined word “carcinogenic” most nearly means '_____'.

A) trouble-making

B) color-retaining

C) money-making

D) cancer-causing

     Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.

     In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than at any other time of the day. If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, we can build our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a great hurry.

     Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. if we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made．Your future begins here.

However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment．Many of us can be easily overwhelmed（压垮）by the details of running a well-balanced life．While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find of use about life on campus.

●Plan well．There are so many new things to do at a new college or university．Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there．Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer date book), get one．Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

●Don’t miss the guidelines．The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook．Consider them well-balanced food for thought．What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in class? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence（住处）? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table．Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses．You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

●Build your identity．This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do．Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas．Do not be afraid of the beyond．This is learning to make good choices.
