Some herbs and spices may be gaining importance in modern medicine. They help to 1 (sharp) the taste of many foods because of their smell. Still others are used traditionally for health reasons.

Researchers from Purdue University reported about the effects of red pepper in the journal Physiology. They found that small changes in diet,like adding the pepper,may reduce the desire to eat.

The spice turmeric comes from a tropical plant common to India. Research 2 (involve) turmeric is not new. Scientists 3 ( study) its medical possibilities for many years.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. A recent study shows that various kinds of wild animals had decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced at average each year,there were only 1. 5 million left till 2014.

There are several reasons accounted for this problem. Apart from the polluting environment and natural disasters,illegal killing is important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit,this has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion,it is high time that we must take quick action to protect them. A national publicly campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition to,the government should pass some firm laws to forbid animal killing. Only with this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

Are the school holidays too long? We asked children,parents and teachers whether the summer break should be shorter. 1 Ruby Mullin,nine This idea is mean. There's no other word for it. Children need to calm down and have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give you time to do things you wouldn't otherwise get to do,like in my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends there. It might seem long to some people. 2 Anthony Seldon,head teacher of Wellington College in Berkshire If it hadn't been for the long summer holiday,I wouldn't have come into teaching. 3 Whether it's painting,hiking or,as in my case,writing books,it adds such a lot to what teachers have to give. And as for all these worries about pupils forgetting all they've learned,children have up to nine weeks in summer,and their exam results don't suffer. We all know that some of the most valuable learning experiences take place away from the classroom.

Nachelle Crowther,mother of three kids 4 The sixweek break seems designed for another age,when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a sixweek holiday,great,I'd love it―but in the real world,that isn't possible. Instead,I end up spending a fortune―around £600―on childcare for each week when I'm working.

Sarah Radford,a primary school teacher at Botley school,Oxford

I've taught for more than 20 years,and summer is the only holiday when teachers can properly switch off from the intense work of planning and assessing (评估) .If it was shortened,the result would be an increase in teachers' stress levels and a harmful effect on our ability to teach. Children need that time for unstructured play,and to have time not being assessed,simply being themselves. 5

A. Should children have less time off school during the summer?

B. However,time flies when you're having fun.

C. It's important for teachers to do other things.

D. A shorter summer holiday would be much better.

F. T have 9inreferenre for a lon^ cummer holiHav to have,fun

F. A long summer holiday can also improve childrenparents relationship.

G. And then school lessons will help their learning when they're back in school.

Dear Tom ,

I've finally made up my mind to go to America for farther study after graduation. I've been longed to go to America,mainly for two reasons. One is that I want to experience American culture,which is believed to have the most diverse in the world,and the another is that I hope to broaden my horizon in this developed country. But to telling you the truth,I have some worries about this. I don't have good command of English,especially spoken English,so Fm afraid Fll have difficulty fitting very soon. Besides,I may suffer from highly pressure from college courses,which I'm not sure I can handle with.

With so many things bother me,I hope you can offer me some practical advices. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,Li Hua
