“You have cancer” are the three words you never want to hear. Unfortunately, over 5, 000 people in North America do hear those words --- every single day. Even worse, cancer has become the second leading cause of death for Americans. America’s health practitioner (從業(yè)人員), David Brownstein, M. D., has spent much of his medical career studying cancer, and learning the best ways to avoid becoming its victim.

And Dr. Brownstein does not shy away from (回避) the hard truth. Statistics demonstrate we are not winning the war on cancer. Far from it. In fact, cancer death rates have remained nearly unchanged over the last 80 years. Plus, traditional cancer treatments have been a terrible failure. Because the only big winner in the cancer treatment story to date has been the cancer industry’s multibillion-dollar profits, Dr. Brownstein has just released a free video documentary revealing some of his startling (令人吃驚的) findings.

In this video, you’ll discover five specific signs that you will be diagnosed (診斷) with cancer during your lifetime. Even more important, you’ll see:

*Seven simple but smart steps to prevent cancer from taking over your body.

*How to help your body naturally kill cancer cells.

*Easiest ways to avoid known cancer-causing factors.

*The little-known relationship between iodine (碘) and cancer.

*And much, much more…

According to Dr. Brownstein, nearly all of US have cancer cells in our bodies at various times during our lives. The trick is to avoid letting those cells increase and defeat the body’s natural defenses.

The good news is that you and your loved ones do not need to become cancer victims. With the simple methods revealed in Dr. Brownstein’s eye-opening video, you can take steps to prevent this deadly disease.

Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous (粘性的) rice flour (粉狀物). We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.

The fillings (餡料) inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts (核桃), sesame（芝麻）, osmanthus flowers (桂花), rose petals（花瓣）. A single ingredient (原料) or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末兒), vegetables or a mixture.

The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough (生面團(tuán)) of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.

The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.

1.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.

B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.

C. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.

D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.

2.The way of making Yuanxiao varies between _________ China.

A. southwestern and northwestern

B. eastern and western

C. southeastern and northeastern

D. northern and southern

3.Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.

① make a hole and insert the filling

② roll the dough between your hands

③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls

④ close the hole

⑤ prepare some rice flour

A. ⑤③②①④ B. ⑤③①④②

C. ③①④②⑤ D.③⑤①②④

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Lantern Festival

B. The ingredients of Yuanxiao

C. China’s traditional food—Yuanxiao.

D. The difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan.

5.Why do we eat Yuanxiao today?

A. Because it’s a tasty food.

B. Because it’s a tradition.

C. Because we love our country.

D. Because it’s promoted by both old and new stores.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students，it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.

Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.

It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.

Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and things in their school bag. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.

1.A lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because _______.

A．they work very hard

B．they find they can't do well at school

C．they feel unimportant

D．they are under too much pressure

2.Because of their failure at school, some students take drugs to _______.

A．kill themselves B．seek comfort

C．disappoint their parents D．make trouble

3.In juku-cram schools students _________．

A．a(chǎn)re taken good care of by the teachers

B．feel no pressure

C．a(chǎn)re trained to pass exams

D．can learn a lot of useful things

4.In ordinary Japanese schools,______________ ．

A．there are strict rules B．students feel safe

C．students can do anything D．learning is not important
