Elderly people who drink several cups of green tea a day are less likely to suffer from depression, probably due to a "feel good" chemical found in this type of tea, Japanese researchers said.
Several studies have1drinking green tea to lessening psychological problems and Kaijun Niu, of Tohoku University Graduate School, and colleagues found people270 and older who drank four or more cups of green tea daily were 44 percent3likely to experience depression.
Green tea is widely4in many Asian countries,5China and Japan.
Niu's team61,058 relatively healthy elderly men and women. About 34 percent of the men and 39 percent of the women had symptoms of 7 , according to the study that was8in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
A total of 488 participants said they9four or more cups of green tea a day, 284 said they downed two to three cups10and the rest reported having one or fewer cups daily.

本文論述的是：喝綠茶可以減緩老年人的精神抑郁癥。在做本完形填空題的時(shí)候，需要同學(xué)們結(jié)合自己知道的有關(guān)綠茶的常識及聯(lián)系文章的上下文之間的語意來確定答案。
1. A 此題考查動詞詞義的簡單辨析。這一句的意思：某些研究把喝綠茶跟緩解精神問題聯(lián)系起來，我們得知用A項(xiàng)：link…to…, 把……和……聯(lián)系起來，其他三項(xiàng)依次分別表示：帶走，考慮，認(rèn)為，都無此意。
2. B 此題的解題關(guān)鍵是得知道aged是個(gè)形容詞，意思是：……歲的，而其他的三項(xiàng)均無此意。最容易錯(cuò)選的是years和age，然而此兩個(gè)詞的正確用法是：70 years old和at the age of 70，aging本身就是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，故選擇B項(xiàng)。
3. C 解此題的關(guān)鍵是得聯(lián)系上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。文章的第一句就說：老年人喝綠茶可以少有可能患抑郁癥。此時(shí)也是這個(gè)意思，只不過多了個(gè)44%，more表示的意思剛好相反，又得用比較級，然而little和much是原級，所以選擇C項(xiàng)：比較少。
4. D 這個(gè)題得結(jié)合常識和把握文章的話題。文章說的是：老齡人喝綠茶。這里的“喝”，就說consume：消耗，消費(fèi)。ABC項(xiàng)依次的意思是：賣（sold是sell的過去式），種植，傳播，故我們選擇D項(xiàng)。
5. A 考查的是近義詞和形狀相近的詞的辨析。Include：包括（整體），contain：包含（元素），又因?yàn)橹袊腿毡径紝儆趤喼�，再者，其邏輯主語是countries，和include這個(gè)動詞之間是主動關(guān)系，conclude：得出結(jié)論；consider：考慮，故選用including
6. C 這一空的考查的動詞詞義的辨析。結(jié)合上下文我們得知：Niu和他的同事在大學(xué)里作研究，要研究就得調(diào)查，也就是investigate，而別的三項(xiàng)的語意分別是：尋找，核對，問，都就顯得不合適了。
7. D 考查名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶。全文講述的都是老年人喝綠茶可以少患抑郁癥。ABC項(xiàng)的含義分別是：樂觀，高興，辛酸。這兒的D項(xiàng)意思是：depression，抑郁。故D為正確答案。
8. A 檢測聯(lián)系上下文的能力。the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition明顯是一份雜志，當(dāng)然這項(xiàng)研究要“刊登（published）”在雜志上，也就是選擇A項(xiàng)，而不是BC兩項(xiàng)，這是因?yàn)樗麄兙蜎]有被動語態(tài)這樣的用法，come out的用法是：sth.come out：……出版了。appear的用法跟它相似。而D項(xiàng)的show表示意思是：展示，邏輯上頁也不合適。
9. B 此題考查動詞詞義的辨析。茶當(dāng)然是用來喝的，也即是：drink，它的過去式就是drank。而不是ACD項(xiàng)分別表達(dá)得“吃，吞，嚼”之意。
10.B 此題考查的是喝茶的常識，當(dāng)然是“每天”（daily）喝兩到三杯茶，不可能“每周（weekly），每月（monthly），每年（yearly）”才喝三杯茶。故B項(xiàng)正確。
11.A 考查形容詞詞義的辨析。從文章前面的論述我們得知：老年人喝綠茶可以少患抑郁癥，并且可也大幅度的降低幾率，這個(gè)效果當(dāng)然很明顯，也即是：apparent，而不是BCD項(xiàng)分別依次所表示含義：輕微的，巨大的，溫柔的。
12.D 考查上下文邏輯關(guān)系的照應(yīng)。文章的開頭第一句就說是綠茶：green tea，也就是D項(xiàng)，而不是紅茶（black tea）和烏龍茶（oolong tea），更不是什么咖啡（coffee）
13.A 這一題的關(guān)鍵是厘清這一段的邏輯關(guān)系和語意：在這些研究人員看來，在他們把各種社會、經(jīng)濟(jì)地位、性別、飲食、各種患病史和使用抗抑郁癥藥等等考慮進(jìn)來之后，喝綠茶有減緩精神壓抑的明顯作用也很明顯，也就是沒有消退：fade，暗淡，褪色，消退。BCD項(xiàng)表示的意思不合適：disappear（消失），run(跑)，decease（死亡）。
14.C 檢測名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語言邏輯之間的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析我們得知，此空需填上表示使用之意的詞語，C項(xiàng)use就是這個(gè)意思；ABD三項(xiàng)表示的意思依次分別是：影響，作用，結(jié)果，在語言邏輯上都不合適。
15.A檢測名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語言邏輯的照應(yīng)。這一段是拿綠茶和紅茶還有咖啡相比較，意思是說：喝紅茶或者咖啡與抑郁癥的癥狀有所降低之間沒有聯(lián)系，也就是：association，聯(lián)系。BCD項(xiàng)的意思分別是：使用，比較，不同，語言邏輯上都不合適。故A項(xiàng)為正確答案。
16.A檢測動詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語言邏輯的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析，我們知道此處要填上表示“減少”或者“降低”之意的動詞，也就是lower，其余BCD三項(xiàng)的意思分別依次是：增加，加強(qiáng)，導(dǎo)致。無論意思上還是邏輯上都不合適。故選擇A項(xiàng)。
17.B 考查近義詞的辨析。我們可以從這些詞的基本意思結(jié)合這一段的語境來確定答案。語境是：Niu指明說，他認(rèn)為對大腦有著鎮(zhèn)靜作用的硫胺素可以解釋在這項(xiàng)研究里表明的這種潛在的有益的影響。又補(bǔ)充說，還有必要再作研究。因?yàn)槭亲鲅芯�，所以不能是假�?assume)和想象(image)。而hope根本就沒有這樣的用法。
18.A檢測名詞詞義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和上下文語言邏輯的照應(yīng)。由上一題的分析我們知道此題要填上表示“影響”之意的名詞，也就是effect，而不是CD三項(xiàng)依次表示的意思：努力，結(jié)果，B項(xiàng)的affect(影響)是個(gè)動詞。而不是名詞；又因?yàn)閔ave an/a…..effect on是固定的搭配，故選A項(xiàng)。解這個(gè)題的關(guān)鍵是單詞的準(zhǔn)確記憶，包括它們的詞形、詞性和詞義。
19.D考查的是動詞的詞義的辨析，由上一題所分析的語境得知此空要表達(dá)的意思是：硫胺素可以說明這種潛在的有益影響。這四個(gè)詞中只有explain有解釋說明之意，其余ABC三項(xiàng)表達(dá)的意思依次分別是：報(bào)道，證實(shí)，完成；無論是意思還是邏輯上都不照應(yīng)，故D項(xiàng)為正確答案。
20.A考查近義詞的含義和辨析。有上下文的語境我們得知：Niu前面已經(jīng)說了一句，現(xiàn)在是“接著說”，也就是adding。B項(xiàng)的意思：致辭，演說；C項(xiàng)的意思：說（語言）；D項(xiàng)的迷惑性最大，但是它的意思是：說（言語）。故選擇A項(xiàng)：接著說。

Kalle Lasn was in a supermarket parking lot one afternoon when he had an experience that changed his life.In order to shop at the store, he needed to put money into the shopping cart to use it.Annoyed that he had to "pay to shop," Lasn jammed the coin into the cart so that it wouldn't work.It was an act of rebellion—the first of many—for Lasn.
Born in Estonia, Kalle Lasn moved to Australia as a young man and then later to Japan, where he founded a marketing research firm in Tokyo.Eventually, Lasn moved to Canada and for several years produced documentaries （紀(jì)錄片） for public television.In the late 1980s, Lasn made an advertisement that spoke out against the logging industry and the deforestation going on in the Pacific Northwest.When he tried to show his ad on TV, though, no station in this area would give him airtime.In response, Lasn and a colleague founded Adbusters Media Foundation, a company for the "Human right to communicate.
Adbusters produces magazine, newspaper, and TV ads with a social message.Many use humor and irony to make their points: In one, for example, a man chain smokes a brand of cigarettes called "Hope".In another, a child is dressed in an outfit used in fast-food ads.Next to the child is a note from its mother telling the restaurant to leave her child alone.
Adbusters also has a magazine and a web site, the Culture Jammers Network, whose members include students, artists, and activists as well as educators and businesspeople interested in social change.Many of these "culture jammers" are working to raise awareness about different social issues by hosting events like "Buy Nothing Day" , " No Car Day" and "TV Turnoff Week" .Lasn and his partners hope these events will encourage people to think about questions such as;
·What kinds of things are we being encouraged to buy by the media?
·Should cars be our primary means of transportation?
·How are television and radio being used now? How could we be using them?
Some culture jammers are using other methods to challenge how people think.Some pretend to be shoppers.They move items in stores from one shelf to another making it difficult for people to find things easily.Other culture jammers break into large company well sites and jam them so that they become unusable.The goal in both cases ia to prevent "Business as usual" and to gel people to ask themselves questions such as "Why am I shopping here?" or "Why should I buy this product?"
Lasn and members of the Culture Jammers Network want to make people aware of social issues, but they also believe it's important to think of solutions, too."A lot of people tell you everything that's wrong but they never say much about how to fix these problems," says Lasn."But there is plenty we can do.If you start despairing, you have lost everything."
Though many TV stations still won't show Adbusters' " uncommercials" , some cable TV stations have started to.People all over the world have joined the Culture Jammers Network and are doing their part to promote social change.

NEW YORK---One in five U.S. workers regularly attends after-work drinks with coworkers, where the most common mishaps range from badmouthing another worker to drinking too much, according to a study released on Tuesday.

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills （讀寫能力）With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence （自信心） , according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager

    3. C.

Who owns the sea? The ships of all countries sail in the open seas. Not long ago, all countries could fish and hunt in the oceans as they pleased. But now, the countries using the sea must work together to protect the animal life in the seas.
In 1870, there were millions of valuable fur seals in the Berling Sea. Ships came from all over the world to kill them.
Man wanted the animals’ fur and their oil from their bodies. By 1930, only about 130,000 seals were left there in the seas and the oceans. Even the hunters themselves knew that something had to be done to protect them, otherwise the seals would die out or disappear from the earth forever.
Four countries owned the land near the seals’ northern home. In 1911, these countries began plans to control seal—hunting. The governments of these four countries, Japan, Russia, Canada and the United States, where the animals rested and gave birth to their young, formulated a policy that only male seals that didn’t have mates were to be divided among the four governments.
Today, large herds of seals swim in the Berling sea again. By working together, the four countries mentioned above have saved the seals in the seas they share.

Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago，it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence，”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face，or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody，they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music，Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative，a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”

Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese
The fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.
The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.
Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.
Advocates (提倡者，擁護(hù)者) see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization（全球化) has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick.“We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.

    1. A.
      the competition between Latino and Asian students
    2. B.
      the global economy
    3. C.
      the interesting way to engage with China

      Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.
    2. B.
      Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.
    3. C.
      French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.
    4. D.
      Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.
  5. 5.

    Which of the following is mainly about in this passage?

    1. A.
      The Chinese learning in Chicago.
