Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox(天花)had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination(种牛痘). Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to prove that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all.
This is mainly because of the great discovery made by a village doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word ‘vacca’ meaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by putting the disease into a small opening on the arms of healthy people, and though their arms became painful for a day or two, they soon recovered and none of these people ever got smallpox.
So the news of the wonderful discovery spread to other countries and people
rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In many countries the simple way to deal with the arm was done on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.
71.Vaccination against smallpox has been so successful that _________ .
A.the discoverer made a large amount of money
B.Dr Jenner was given a prize by the World Health Organization
C.smallpox has almost disappeared in most countries
D.smallpox was no longer in existence on earth
72 .Smallpox has been prevented from spreading through the following measures EXCEPT that _____.
A.most people were vaccinated against the disease at least once
B.people going abroad should promise not to spread the disease
C.people travelling from one country to another must prove they
are vaccinated
D.people must be vaccinated shortly before going to foreign countries
73 .What led Dr Jenner to experiment with vaccination was that ________ . 
A.he wanted to make a great discovery and publish it
B.vaccination could make people's arms safe
C.he tried to cure the farmers of some disease caught from the cattle
D.those who worked with cattle seemed free from getting smallpox
74.The doctor's new discovery was called ‘vaccination’ for the reason that ________ .
A.he discovered smallpox near a farm
B.he experimented with a disease from the cattle
C.he was working with cattle in the countryside
D.people got the disease of smallpox from the cattle
75.The news of the discovery ________.
A.caught people's attention from all corners of the world
B.spread far and near in the western countries
C.made people rush to Dr Jenner for vaccination
D.helped to get rid of the terrible disease of smallpox

Seven Health Facts about Coffee
When you’re considering your morning coffee, here are some health facts to keep in mind:
1. Coffee Reduces Your Risk of Diabetes (糖尿病)
In a 2005 review of nine studies, researchers found that for those that drank four to six cups of coffee per day, versus only two or fewer, their risk for Type 2 diabetes decreased by almost 30 percent. The number decreased by 35 percent when people drank more than six cups per day. And if you’re picturing yourself running around the office with your eyes bugging out of your head, no worries because caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees provided much the same results.
2. Coffee Fights Free Radicals (自由基)
We often forget that coffee is actually a plant and like all plant foods, the coffee bean contains more than 1,000 naturally occurring substances called phytochemicals, which may help prevent disease. Many of these phytochemicals are antioxidants which protect the cells from damage from free radicals.
3. Coffee Improves Memory and Cognition
Researchers reported that volunteers who drank caffeinated coffee in the morning performed better than nondrinkers on tests that involved learning new information. Coffee can also improve cognitive function as we age. One study found that combining coffee with a sweet treat had an even bigger impact.
4. Coffee Can Increase Osteoporosis (骨质疏松)
It’s true that coffee can cause the body to excrete calcium in urine. We don’t want the body to rid itself of calcium because this can lead to osteoporosis. According to The Diet Channel, about five milligrams of calcium is lost per every six ounces of coffee consumed. But these calcium losses can be counter balanced with two tablespoons of milk or yogurt per cup of coffee.
5. Coffee Causes Wrinkles
Even though coffee has antioxidants, if you drink too much of it, it can cause wrinkling of the skin. This is a result of dehydration (脱水) which is the worst thing for your skin. So when you’re drinking that morning cup or two, make sure that you’re pairing it with water. Even better, add one tablespoon of chia seeds to your water and let them sit for 30 minutes. The chia seeds keep you even more hydrated than regular water.
6. Coffee Can Actually Cause Weight Gain
The blood sugar changes that a caffeine high produces can contribute enormously to a strong desire for it, according to iVillage. Coffee is also socially connected to food. For example, we pair coffee with dessert or that morning powdered doughnut. Additionally, when we crash from our caffeine high that’s when we reach for all sorts of fatty snacks to keep us going.
7. Conventional Coffee Is Laden with Pesticides (杀虫剂)
The coffee plant is one of the most heavily sprayed crops. It’s coated with chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides, nothing you’d want to be swallowing. If you do drink coffee, make sure that it’s the organic variety, free from assorted chemicals that leech into our ground water and can make us sick down the road.
If you switch to decaffeinated coffee, make sure the caffeine (咖啡因) is removed in a natural way without the use of chemicals to do it. Often times, conventional decaffeinated coffee has more chemicals than regular.
小题1:   If you want to decrease the risk of diabetes by 35%, you need to take at least _____ cups of     coffee every day.
A.seven B.six C.fiveD.four
小题2:If you are a heavy drinker of coffee, a far better way to avoid wrinkling of your skin is to drink water _____.
A.less than usualB.regularly C.with sugarD.with chia seeds
小题3:   Which of the following statements is wrong?
A.Adding two spoons of milk to a cup of coffee can prevent calcium losses.
B.Decaffeinated coffee has different effects from caffeinated coffee as to diabetes.
C.Many phytochemicals protect the cells from damage from free radicals.
D.The organic variety of coffee plant is free from assorted chemicals.
小题4:   The author has a/an _____ attitude towards drinking of coffee.

Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house.A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health.This new theory argues that healing (the process of becoming healthy and strong again) is at our fingertips:we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.

Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven.They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga,Tai Chi.These waste our time,something that is quite precious in our material world.There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones.We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide.However, there are some “everyday complaints”such as back pains,headaches,which are treated currently with medicine.When you have a headache,you take an Aspirin;when you cannot sleep,you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these.When you use these pills for a long period,you become dependent on them;you cannot sleep without them.We pay huge amounts of money but never get better.How about a safer and more economical way of healing?When doing Reiki to yourself,you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical.Also,there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs.They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine.How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take.Actually,instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects,you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life,find an emotional balance,leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.
Some people may still hold that in our material world,everything depends on time.How
would it be possible to find time to do Reiki?In fact,Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time.It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.
小题1:The author's attitude towards Reiki is        
A.uninterestedB.serious
C.positiveD.doubtful
小题2:Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?
A.Reiki will soon become the most popular exercise around the world.

C.Reiki can make people less dependent on drugs.
D.Reiki is a kind of cheap drug but works well.
小题3:How many advantages of Reiki are mentioned in the last two paragraphs?

I clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night. I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium(钙), during those important years.
Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s. The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis(骨质疏松症)will set in. That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium.
Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements(补充物). There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),oyster(牡蛎)shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements.
You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take. This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body. So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them. Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage(剂量)and manner of intake. You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs.
小题1:From what the author’s mother did we may infer that___________________.
A.her children had osteoporosis
B.she knew her children would benefit from milk
C.she must have suffered from osteorosis
D.she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order
小题2: Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60s
B.Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium.
C.We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day
D.Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage
小题3:What does the underlined word “surreptitiously” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A.HonestlyB.FranklyC.SecretlyD.Curiously
小题4:We may infer from the last paragraph that____________________.
A.what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not work
B.one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor
C.the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take in
D.it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidance
If you give something to someone for free, will that person value it and use it? Development experts have debated this question for decades. Some think the act of paying causes people to value something and use it more.
Selling necessary health treatments, others argue, may deny them to the people who need them the most.
Consider, for example, chemically treated bed nets, which kill mosquitoes anti protect people against malaria(疟疾)while they are sleeping. William Easterly, an economist at New York University, believes this is one example of development having gone wrong. In a recent book, Professor Easterly suggests bed nets given free in Africa are often used for the wrong purpose. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends bed nets be given out free and used by whole communities. The success of a large free bed net campaign in Kenya led the WHO to announce this recommendation
This debate will likely influence social programs in the developing world. Many non-governmental organizations support the creation of self-supporting programs in poor countries. Goods and services are sold for a price to help these programs survive.
According to Rachel Glenerster, who runs a research lab doing development and poverty studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her several studies have proven that small price changes have a big influence on the number of people who use a product. A price change will reduce the total amount of use of the product as well, she says. She has also found no evidence that the very act of paying for something changes how people use it.
As for a particular product among special populations, some development experts argue that pricing is useful. When it comes to bed nets, Miss Glenerster says research shows no evidence of this. People are just as likely to use a bed net whether they paid for it or not.
小题1: The debate among experts focuses on      .
A.a special use of bed nets in Africa
B.the use of assistance-related products
C.the importance of social programs for the poor
D.a popular way to help the poor
小题2: According to some experts, certain health treatments       .
A.can only be sold to the richB.should be completely free
C.are too expensiveD.are not needed by the poor
小题3:What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A.The WHO's advice may not be always practical.
B.Many Africans don't know the function of bed nets.
C.The case of Kenya is doubtful.
D.Bed nets given to Africans are poor in quality.
小题4: What may be the possible change in the social program according to the third paragraph?
A.Some of them may become financially independent.
B.Many of them will not be organized by the government.
C.Some of them will go to developed countries.
D.Most of them will be free of charge.
I know what you’re thinking : pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food . 
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. 
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. 
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 
小题1:The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.
A.things left undoneB.food remaining after a meal
C.meals made of vegetablesD.pizza topped with fruit
小题2:What can we infer from the text?
A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
C.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.
小题3:According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________. 
A.eat something for breakfastB.put away the leftovers instead of eating more.
C.heat up leftovers for breakfastD.eat calorie-controlled food
小题4:The text is written mainly for those_____________. 
A.who go to work earlyB.who stay up late
C.who want to lose weightD.who eat before sleep

Chemicals used for industrial processes often create dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has risen heavily in the past few years, as more areas of the world industrialize and new products are produced. Over 80,000 different chemicals are used in industries world wide. Around the world hundreds of millions of tons of harmful waste are produced each year. Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way that does not endanger human life and the environment.
Every year, major health problems result from harmful waste. Sadly, it is often when someone has died or, become seriously ill that governments will take action and reduce levels of dumped harmful waste. In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure to chromium. It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dumped nearby and blown over to the school area.
Research has been done to provide information on the effects of every chemical. Because waste chemicals often mix together, it will also be necessary to learn how the combinations of these chemicals affect human health.
Some governments have realized how serious the problem is and are making laws to get rid of harmful waste. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but the public as well must form part of the solution. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.
57.What is mainly discussed in the text?
A The effect of every chemical.          
B.Problems of harmful waste.
C.Chemicals used for industrial processes.
D.Events related to waste chemicals.
58.From the text we know that ______.
A.chromium can poison people when there is a wind
B.chromium pollution makes the local government close the school
C.Some governments don’t realize how serious the problems are until people suffer a lot from harmful waste
D.about two-thirds of the waste can pollute the environment
59.Which of the following least matches the solution the writer refers to?
A.Chemicals used for industrial processes should be banned.
B.People can make use of the existing technologies and methods to reduce the waste
C.Policymakers make laws to limit the production of harmful waste.
D.People choose not to buy products which may produce harmful waste.
60.The writer of the text thinks that ______.
A.governments should have forbidden the production of waste chemicals
B.mixed waste chemicals can always be stored without endangering people
C.industries must not produce waste chemicals which harm people so much
D.everyone can do something to help solve the problem of waste chemicals

“Love your neighbor as yourself" is a saying familiar to most of us. It means that you must have he ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a ivdrthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others.
Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. It is based on our judgment of urselves, not on other people's assessment, but simply on our own. Our self-esteem is not efaendent on our talent. Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extranordinarily high achievers hold low opintions of themselves.
Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress managerment. Why? The first three sourees of stress are: predictable life event, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresscs, These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves, A postive, healthy self-estcem gives us the “hardiness”(强健) to deal with the difficulities of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threals to be feared.
The forth category of streesons is entirely the result of a low self-esteem. It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring over the long run. This kind of stress cannol be overcome, or evenchanged, until the self-exteem problems that cause it are corrected.
Learning to love yourself for who y ou are is the key to overcoming stress. Self-esteem comes form the self, and cannot be promoted by others. A person who fecls that his self-estecm comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct(自毁), One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world. When the applause is gone, there is nothing left.
Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the stresses of life. Sef-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living.
58. What is self-csteem?
A.A kind of positive lifestyle.
B.The impression we have on other people.
C.Our sense of how good we feel about ourselves.
D.Our understanding of how we are seen by others.
59.What is the key to overcoming stress according to the passage?
A.Removing yourself from stressful situation.
B.Learning to love yourself for who you are.
C.Facing the stress and dealing with it.
D.Getting help from friends.
60.What does the underlined word "facade" (in Para 5) mean?
A.A false appearance.   B.A big worry.
C.A wrong action.       D.A strange feeling.
