Wine drinkers tend to buy healthier food than beer drinkers, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday on the website of a weekly medical magazine.

 People who bought wine at the store were also more likely to buy fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat (瘦肉) and milk than beer buyers did, said the study.

 Beer buyers were more likely to buy frozen dinners, cold cuts, pork, sugary products, and soft drinks.

 The study was conducted by four researchers from the National Institute of Public Health over the course of six months.

 Alcohol researchers Erik Schulenburg and Marten Greenback and two other doctors collected 3.5 million receipts from 98 stores. The customers at the stores represented a large number of Danish people, they said.

 “Our results confirm international studies which show that wine drinkers tend to eat more fruit, vegetables and fish and rarely eat fats, compared to those who like other kinds of alcoholic drinks,” they concluded.

 Wine buyers also tended to have higher education levels, higher earnings and be in better mental health, they added.

 Their interest in consumers’ shopping bags followed a series of studies in the Danish media. The studies suggested that wine drinkers ran a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and some types of cancer than beer drinkers.

The passage mainly tells us that wine drinkers ______.

  A. eat more vegetables than beer drinkers

  B. usually buy healthier food than beer drinkers

  C. are mostly healthier than beer drinkers

  D. run a lower risk of diseases than beer drinkers

According to the passage, beer buyers are less likely to buy ______.

  A. cold cuts   B. pork    C. soft drinks   D. vegetables

The researchers did the study mainly by means of ______.

 A. handing out papers with a list of questions

B. collecting receipts from stores

C. watching what customers bought at stores

D. visiting some families throughout the country

Which of the following is NOT a feature of wine drinkers according to the passage?

  A. Rarely eating fats.       B. Being in better mental health.

 C. Exercising more.       D. Having higher education levels.

A migraine(偏头痛)can cause disabling pain. People may not feel back to normal for hours or even days. Migraines are most common among young adults and middle-aged people. In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines.

People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers(诱因)”in different people may get a headache started. Stress can act as a trigger. So can chocolate in some people. Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(大气压)can act as triggers. But researchers say they do not have much scientific evidence of that — until now.

 In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache. More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.

 The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits. For every increase of five degrees centigrade in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine. Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to trigger headaches.

 The researchers found no evidence that air pollution influenced headaches. But they could not rule out the possibility of a smaller effect.

 A separate study has found that age, gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine. It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk. On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines.

 The study involved twenty-two thousand people. It was led by Lee Peterlin. She says early results suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.

Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入,摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units(IU)a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.

61. According to the passage, people are advised to take more Vitamin D, because__.

A. it is nutritious             B. it can‘t harm people’s health

C. it can lower cancer risk      D. it is not taken enough every day

62. Which of the following can not help people get more Vitamin D?

A. Have some sunshine        B. Have more meat

C. Have more fortified cheese   D. Have a vitamin supplement

63.Who can Garland probably be?

A. A health researcher        B. A doctor   

C. A scientist               D. A public health official

64.Which of the following food can lower people‘s chance of getting cancer?

A. Milk                    B. Fortified orange juice

C. Fortified yogurt           D. All of the above

65.People from which area should take more Vitamin D according to the passage?

A. Asian people               B. African people 

C. American people            D. European people
