Drinking alcohol is a socially acceptable behavior in many parts of the world．Some medical experts say light drinking may even be good for your health, especially for the heart．But they say such health benefits should be compared to the many health risks connected with alcohol use．

Some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may offer some health benefits．Several large studies have shown that this type of moderate(适量的) drinking may lower the risk of heart disease and other diseases．

A study last year suggested that drinking small amounts of red wine may help lower the risk of breast cancer in women．Researchers at Medical Center in California studied 36 women．Each woman drank a glass of red or white wine every day for almost a month．Researchers collected blood samples from the women two times a month to measure their hormone(激素) levels．The next month the women who drank red wine were told to drink white wine instead．The white wine drinkers were told to drink red wine．The researchers found that the women who drank red wine had lower levels of the female hormone than the white wine drinkers．They said red grapes have chemicals that may help to lower the risk of breast cancer．

However, recent studies suggested that even small amounts of alcohol may generally increase the risk of breast cancer in women．They found that women who drink four small glasses of wine a week increase their risk of breast cancer by 15 percent．

Many studies have examined the harmful effects of alcohol use on the body．Alicia Ann Kowalchuk serves as medical director, saying “Healthy use for adults --- that's men under age 65 --- is no more than 4 drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks in a week．And for women of all ages, it's no more than 7 drinks in a week and no more than 2 drinks in a day．” She says too much alcohol use has been linked to liver diseases, and many other cancers．

1.How did the researchers carry out their study?

A． By following an example．

B． By listing facts．

C． By collecting information worldwide．

D． By comparing tested objects．

2.Which of the following is the most beneficial to women with breast cancer?

A． A glass of white wine per day．

B． A glass of red wine per day．

C． Small amounts of alcohol per day．

D． Four small glasses of wine per day．

3.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A． Drinking alcohol is popular in many parts of the world

B． Alcohol drinking can be both good and bad for you

C． Drinking alcohol a day may give your health some benefits．

Tip for Chinese Students Studying Abroad

As living conditions in China are getting better, parents who want their children to have a bright future invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad. However, there are countless difficulties that students have to face and solve when they study abroad. Therefore it is necessary for Chinese overseas students to be aware of certain things to which they must pay attention.

1.______

Safety issues before and after studying abroad have been one of the focuses of parents. However, all experts consider psychological preparation as the most important thing for students studying abroad to consider. They believe that students must have a clear picture of their position and know that they are going abroad to study and receive training and not for leisure. And they should not have the opinion that everything abroad is good and all things from China are bad. Students should prepare themselves for the differences.

2.______

Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic exam-oriented education style that is completely different from the more open foreign education mode. They will face changes in the educational system while studying abroad. So students should learn about the differences between the domestic and foreign education styles and try to find more solutions to adjusting to the open education in order to be well prepared for their overseas studies both mentally and practically.

3.______

Students should ask related teachers to help make plans consistent with their practical condition. There should be both macro and detailed learning plans. Macro learning plans require students to hold on to the primary direction of their overseas studies and detailed learning plans require them to arrange learning content for each course and semester. After the plan is made, they should strictly keep to them. Otherwise, the plan will have no effect.

4.______

As Chinese students are not familiar with the place and people, and have no relatives by their sides, the first feeling they will feel is loneliness, which makes it especially important to learn to develop relationships with people around them. They may meet all kinds of fascinating people abroad. They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations. The most important thing is to pluck up enough courage to open your mouth and talk with others. Foreigners really like children of this kind and are willing to help them.

5.______

Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class, but Chinese children are used to teacher-centered education. Guided and supervised by parents and teachers, Chinese students don’t have much learning space. They may score high in exams, but they may lack independent learning skills and tend to be in a state of passive learning. So the most basic thing that children need to know is that studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.
