Dear Editor,

I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?

                                                                Tian Yan

Dear Tian Yan,

It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!

If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.

You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.

You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.

Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.

                                                          Editor

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big 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 human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加劑）caused cancer.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包裝）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.

The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

According to this passage, we can know      . 

  A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat

  B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat

  C. cancer was discovered in 1945

  D. science has made food unfit to eat

Things that are used to keep colours in meats are       .

  A. harmful      B. useless        C. helpless         D. dangerous

All the additives       .

  A. are bright and colourless         

B. are not bright and colourful

  C. have indirect effects on our health 

D. have direct effects on our health

People use additives       .

  A. to make food more unfit to eat  

B. to improve the colour and taste of the food

  C. to change colour of the food    

D. to take off the diseases of the food

Which of the following is not true?

  A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.

  B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.

  C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.

  D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.

At age 61, identical twins Jeanne and Susan no longer look exactly alike. Susan smoked for many years and is an admitted sun worshipper, whose habits Jeanne does not share. A new study of twins suggests you can blame those coarse(粗糙的)wrinkles, brown or pink spots on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight.

       Because twins share genes, but may have different exposures to environmental factors， studying twins allows an “opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility(易受影響性),” Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and his colleagues explain in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.

       Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

       But when it comes to skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that both environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.

       Baron’s team examined facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived mostly in the northem Midwest and Eastern regions of the US, who were attending the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002. At this time, each of the twins also separately reported how their skin burned or tanned(曬黑)without sunscreen, their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking. The study group consisted of 52 fraternal(異卵雙生)and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status.

       From these data, the researchers noted strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental damage. By contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared related to less skin damage.

       Baron and his colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial aging and potentially avoidable environmental factors—such as smoking, being overweight, and unprotected overexposure to the sun’s damaging rays—may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A．Jeanne and Susan share all the habits including smoking.

       B．Skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

       C．Only identical twins can take part in the research.

       D．Sunscreen use cannot help people have less skin damage.

Why did Baron’s team do the research on twins?

       A．Twins are more likely to suffer from skin cancer.

       B．It may guarantee the research is not influenced by genetic factors.

       C．It gives others an opportunity to control twins’ genes.

       D．It helps find twins are exposed to different environments.

What can you infer from the last paragraph?

       A．This research makes people aware of dangerous lifestyles.

       B．The environmental factors are unavoidable.

       C．Being exposed to the sun is absolutely damaging.

       D．There is little relationship between skin aging and environment.

The passage is mainly concerned with      .

       A．skin cancer and environment

       B．identical twins research

       C．a(chǎn)ging skin and environmental factors

       D．genes and lifestyles
