8．More than four in 10cancers-600，000in the UK alone-could be prevented if people led healthier lives，say experts．The population of the UK is about 63，000，000．
Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor，followed by unhealthy diet．The charity advises people to live healthily，limit alcohol intake and do regular exercise．
According to the figures from 2011to 2015，more than 300，000cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking．A further 145，000were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed food．Obesity contributed to 88，000cases and alcohol to 62，000．Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors．
Professor Max Parkin，a Cancer Research UK statistician，says："There's now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk，with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors．
"Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holidays so we don't want to ban beef pies and wine but it's a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2016．
"Leading a healthy lifestyle can't guarantee someone won't get cancer but we can stack the odds in our favor by taking positive steps．"
Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk．It says campaigns such Smokefree，Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness．It's important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments，but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer．

3．Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to？It doesn't happen often．But when you have a teacher like Mrs．Field，it's more than a science class．It's a science class where learning is easy and fun．There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don't care about．
My experience with Mrs．Field didn't start with science class，but with her as my tutor．I was always a weak reader and wasn't getting any better．My parents told me I needed to be tutored．One day after school，I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time．I had no idea who was tutoring me．My mom practically had to drag me into the library．The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness．We didn't even play a reading game．
We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read．She didn't make me read a boring textbook about something I didn't care about．I didn't even pick a book．I picked out a magazine about remote control cars．I thought to myself，how bad could it be？To my surprise，She told me even though I was reading a magazine，I was still reading．After the first magazine，she picked out a book she liked．I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me，in this way I didn't have to read for long periods of time．
As I got better and faster at reading，I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time，which used to take me to read one chapter．
Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful．If it were not for her，I would not be the reader I am today!

13．America is growing older．Fifty years ago，only 4out of every 100people in the United States were 65or older．Today，10out of every 100Americans are over 65．The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways-education，medicine，and business．Quietly，the graying（老龄化）of America has made us a very different society-one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages．
A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position，marriage or health．There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family．The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school，get a job，or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be．It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother，or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time．Public ideas are changing．
Many people say，"I am much younger than my mother-or my father-was at my age．"No one says"Act your age"anymore．We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways．

25．It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in AmericaC．

20．Europe's first major university department to promote research into government and public policy will open in Oxford under new plans．

17．When I was small and my grandmother died，I couldn't understand why I had no tears．But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up，my laugh turned into crying．
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain．Just as laughing has many health advantages，scientists are discovering that so，too，does crying．
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional （情感的） health，and crying seems to work well．One study found that 85percent of women and 73percent of men report feeling better after crying．
Besides，tears attract help from other people．Researchers agree that when we cry，people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort．Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better； sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry．We learn about our emotions through crying，and then we can deal with them．
Just as crying can be healthy，not crying---holding back tears of anger，pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health，Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure，heart problems and some other illnesses．If you have a health problem，doctors will certainly not ask you to cry．But when you feel like crying，don't fight it．It's a natural---and healthy---emotional response （反应）．

A．The author doesn't give the explanation．
B．Because she did not love her grandmother．

D．crying and laughing play the same roles

18．（CNN，April 21）-The Olympic torch has been lit in southern Greece，kicking off the countdown to Rio 2016．
The Games were first held there in 776BC and remained there for 12centuries．
Acting the role of the high priestess （女祭司），Greek actress Katerina Lechou lit the torch using a concave （凹形） mirror to focus the sun's rays，before placing it into a ceramic bowl．An olive branch was cut and a white dove released into the blue spring sky，both symbolizing peace．
The flaming torch，which has its own Twitter account，was handed to its first torchbearer，gold medal-winning Greek gymnast Eleftherios Petrounias，before beginning its six-day relay across the country．

"In these difficult days that Brazil is facing，the flame is a timeless reminder that we all are part of the same humanity，"he said．"May today's lighting of the Olympic flame be another reminder to everyone to uphold the spirit of the Olympic Games and to build a better world through sport．"
