Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks，such as Monster，Red Bull and Rock Star，（41）G causing heart problems and other life-threatening conditions，according to the findings of new researches．
During a presentation at the annual Cardiac Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting of the American Heart Association （AHA），researchers warned about the risk of allowing young children（42）Kto the energy drinks，which contain high amounts of caffeine（咖啡因） and other stimulants．
Researches  （43）Ehat the energy drinks are not intended for young children and are not safe for them to consume．Steven Lipshultz，M．D．，lead author of the study，is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and bottles，warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them．
Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or bottle of energy drinks，since they are often （44）A as dietary supplements （补充物），which allow the manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations．
Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in coffee houses，but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in （45）Fnvironments like coffee houses，which typically would not serve young children．Energy drinks are widely available in （46）I stores next to traditional soft drinks，typically packaged in very similar cans and using similar marketing techniques．
Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400mg of caffeine per can．In comparison，a cup of coffee typically has around 100mg of caffeine．Caffeine poisoning can occur in adults at levels higher than 400mg a day； however，children under 12can （47）B  caffeine poisoning at only 2.5mg per 2.2pounds of body weight．
A study published in September （48）Jup the new findings，revealing energy drinks may cause serious heart problems．French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked to （49）C risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death．
The FDA is  （50）H investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous negative event reports have been made in recent years connecting energy drinks to severe injuries and deaths．

The following Saturday evening we were at my parents home，celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children's gifts．Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children，dressed in their best clothes，and wearing their most wonderful expressions．They are pictures to treasure a lifetime，all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend．

7．Two Earthquakes in Two Months：
Comparing the Quakes in Haiti （海地） and Chile （智利）
Overview （概要） How do the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti compare？Here，students perform a gallery walk to learn more about the earthquakes from a specific point，and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity．Finally，they seek answers to their unanswered questions．
Materials Print copies of photographs，charts，documents and other visuals to display，as described below； computer （s） with Internet access （optional），research materials，handouts．
Warm-up Choose and prepare a"gallery"of photographs，graphics，news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010earthquake in Chile．
Depending on course program，choose materials for the gallery that provide a window on the two quakes，through one of the following specific points，or the focus of your choice：
Earthquakes through History Putting the 2010Chilean and Haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes，including the 1960Chilean quake and the 2004Asian earthquake and tsunami．
Rescue and Aid Considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries，governments and aid organizations，including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food，water，health care and shelter to those affected．
Related The article Underwater Plate Cuts 400Mile Gash compares several earthquakes：
Mr．Lin figured that the quake on Saturday was 250to 350times more powerful than the Haitian quake．
But Paul Caruso noted that at least on land，the effects of the Chilean tremor （震动） might not be as bad．For one thing，he said，the quality of building construction is generally better in Chile than in Haiti．And the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction．In Haiti，the rupture （断裂） occurred only a few miles from the capital，Port-au-Prince．The rupture on Saturday was centered about 60miles from the nearest town，Chillan，and 70miles from the country's second-largest city，Concepción．
Read the article using the following questions．
Questions For discussion with others and reading comprehension：
How does the 2010Chilean earthquake compare to the 1960Chilean earthquake？
Why do scientists believe that the 2010Chilean earthquake will not cause the same level of damage as January's Haitian earthquake did？
How does the 2010Chilean earthquake compare to the 2004Indonesian earthquake？
What reasons do scientists give to explain why the Indonesian quake caused so much more damage than the recent Chilean earthquake？

64．Which of the following shows one of the reasons for slighter losses in Chile than in Haiti？A

65．We can infer that the article Underwater Plate Cuts 400Mile Gash includesD．

B．the comparison between the 2010Haitian and the 2004Indonesian earthquakes
C．the reason for the 2010Chilean quake being more powerful than January's Haitian earthquake
D．the reason for less damage in the 2010Chilean quake than in the 2004Indonesian earthquake
66．What is the passage most likely to be？B

17．Shopping is not as simple as you may think!There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand 商标of product on the shelf．
Colouring，for example，varies according to what the producers are trying to sell．Health foods are packaged in greens，yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours．Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods，like chocolates，are gold or silver．
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently，researchers found that the colours turned the cusstomers off  because they made the product look weak and ineffective．Eventually，it came on the market in a dark blue and white package-blue because we think of it as safe，and white as calm．
The size of a product can attract a shopper．But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to．
It is believed that the better-known companies spend，on average，70percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product．The founder of Pears soap，who for 25years has used pretty little girls to promote （推销） their goods，came to the conclusion："Any fool can make soap，but it takes a genius to sell it．"

26．Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text？C
A．The cost of its package．
B．The price of the product．
C．The colour of its package．
D．The brand name of the product．
27．The underlined part"the colours turned the customers off"（in Para.3）means that the coloursB．
A．attracted the customers strongly
B．caused the customers to lose interest

D．had weak effects on the customers
28．Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales？A

C.25years ago，the founder of Pears soap was a pretty girl herself．
D．The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers．

4．It's usual for the coins we carry around in our pockets to have the head of a famous person on them．It is usually the head of a leader or a renowned （有名望的） figure from the country's past．
The UK's royal mint （皇家造币厂），however，has just done something unusual：It has released a limited number of coins featuring a rabbit．Not a real-life animal，but a storybook rabbit．Peter Rabbit，the beloved character invented by British illustrator （插图画家） Beatrix Potter （1866-1943），can now be seen on the shiny brand new British 50pence coin．
Peter Rabbit，for those who don't know，first became known to the public in 1902．Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit in that year after inventing her charming bunny years before to comfort a sick child．Peter Rabbit is young and naughty．He's famous for stealing vegetables．In the tale he ignores his mother's orders and sneaks （偷溜） into Mr McGregor's garden，eating as many of Mr McGregor's carrots as he can．Peter appears in other books by Potter too．He always gets into scrapes （困境），whether on his own or with others．But he never learns!
The image of Peter is as famous as his stories．Like other characters from Potter's books，he's a very human-looking animal．He wears a blue jacket with golden buttons （纽扣） just like a young boy．The closeness of Peter to real children is，of course，why his books have been so successful．The Peter Rabbit series has sold more than 150million copies in 35languages．
The new Peter Rabbit 50pence coin will mainly be available in the Lake District，a very beautiful region of lakes and mountains in the Northwest of England．Many tourists visit this part of Britain just because of the Beatrix Potter connection．Her best-known creation，Peter Rabbit，has come a long way since he first appeared as a playful，always-hungry young rabbit in 1902!

C．It is the name for the whole Northwest region of England．

1．The air pollution was so bad in Harbin，in C hina，on October 21，2013 that the city had to close roads and schools，and cancel hundreds of flights from its airport．
News reports said the smog （a mixture of smoke and fog） was so thick that people couldn't see more than 10 or 20 metres in front of them．
It is also said that people could not even see the person standing next to them．The city's website said："You can't see your own fingers in front of you．"
The local people said there was a"burning"smell in the air．Many people covered their noses and mouths with scarves or masks．
The pollution was caused on several factors including：farmers burning off old corn s talks and crop stubble； coal-fired heating systems； and low winds that allowed the smoke to remain over the city．
The smog had been building up for several days．It became worse when the city turned on the public heating system，which uses coal to heat millions of homes and offices in the city．
Harbin has a population of more than 10 million people．It lies in northeastern China，where cold winter weather can last up to six months．The main fuel there is coal，because it is cheaper than other types of fuel．
Air pollution from burning coal can cause health problems like heart disease．During the smog crisis*in Harbin，the number of people taken t o the hospital with breathing problems was 30% higher than usual．
The city government is trying to reduce its use of coal by adding more insulation and better roofs and windows to buildings to reduce heating needs．It has also used cleaner fuel for cars and factories．
