【題目】A glass a day keeps obesity at bay. Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.

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 Inter national Scientific Forum on Alcohol reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物學(xué)機(jī)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 like diabetes (糖尿病), which related 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 quickly absorbed into the body and are not stores in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

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

1Who is the passage intended for?

A. Those who produce wine.

B. Those who have drinking habit.

C. Those who sell alcohol.

D. Those who wish to quit drinking.

2What does the phrase“in moderation”in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Excitedly. B. Carefully. C. Properly. D. Frequently.

3What can we learn from the passage?

A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increase weight.

B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

D. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

4What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. How to do some easy experiments.

B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

C. How to make wine in a healthy way.

D. How to prove the finding mentioned above.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in Cinderella, that was my dream.

As the November cold begins to take control

in the UK, Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.

Celebrated on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605, when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament (議會(huì)) with barrels of gunpowder. Now, it is traditional for Britons to make a fake (假的) “Guy” every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.

If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country, you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs, then fill them with tar (焦油) and set them on fire. And in Lewes, a town in the southern English county of Sussex, different groups of bonfire societies parade (游行) the streets, each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot (吉祥物), which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.

Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”, a dish made from slowcooked beef mince, tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, and spices. It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese. It's not the most elegant dish in the world but it's sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.

But for many Britons, the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee (太妃糖)”, which is also known as “plot toffee”, named after Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up parliament. The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.

Whether it's the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone, the hearty winter food, or the excuse to light a huge fire, Bonfire Night has something for everyone. Just watch out for those rockets!

【1】What is Guy Fawkes Night?

A.A person to explode the parliament.

B.A guy to be controlled in the UK.

C.A symbol for Britons to enter winter.

D.A dish famous to British people.

【2】Why do people have “chili con carne”?

A.Because it's the most elegant.

B.Because it's full of energy.

C.Because it's on jacket potatoes.

D.Because it's slowly cooked.

【3】The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”.

A.celebrations B.fireworks

C.performances D.bonfires

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.

B.The introduction of a traditional food.

C.A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.

D.Activities on the night of November 5 in Britain.
