Narrator(解说) ：(Scene shows an old woman, washing her supper dishes. ) For several years，a widow (寡妇) has lived in her own pleasant two-room and kitchenette apartment in a re?built brownstone near East River. Her late husband, Mr. H. T. Miller, had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment, has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store. No one who lives near her has taken note of her existence，with her old-fashioned dress and old-fashioned hairstyle，and she never uses any cosmetics(化妆品) .Her daily activities are monotonous，smoking an occasional cigarette, preparing her own meals,feeding her canary (a kind of bird) named "Tommy"，and keeping her two-room apartment as clean as possible. (Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch, reading through the afternoon newspaper.)

  Narrator： (Camera changes scene to Rod Serling, a glowing cigarette held in her hand.) One would think that her life would be as normal as anyone else's. She doesn't mind the wall of isolation(隔离) she has created around herself all these years. But all of this is going to change. Mrs. Miller is going to meet a person, a small child, who,like her,has no friends, goes through life unnoticed, and ventures only as far as Mrs. Miller. Would it be a dream of happi?ness come true? Or perhaps the worst nightmare(垂梦) Mrs. Miller has ever experienced ...In the Twilight Zone！

Why not do sth. right now?为何不马上..... ？

  On the packages of many energy drinks is a warning： " not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. ”But few young teens' pay attention to the warnings. They drink like a fish to lose weight and keep up energy.

  Amanda Smith,a 16-year-old junior at Lincoln High School in San Jose,California, drinks at least one Redline energy drink every day. She began a year ago to increase her energy before dance concerts or competitions. But now,Smith says, "I drink them when I feel low in energy or before a test. The drinks is addicting，I cannot help drinking it."

  Almost all energy drinks have as much sugar and three times as much caffeine(咖啡因) as other soft drinks. Lots of caffeine and sugar can cause mood disorders, lack of sleep and addic?tion,says Stanford University nutritionist(营养学家) Julie Matel.

  Health experts worry that teens are turning to energy drinks because they don't have time to sleep or eat properly.

  Seventeen-year-old senior Jonas Roubique drinks an energy drink called No Fear two or three times a week. He compares the drink to strong coffee. He explains that,after drinking No Fear, "you feel like you're on top of the world. " The problem, Roubique said,is that the ener?gy is short-lived. There is a strong 45-minute burst,but "you feel even worse afterward."

  Although Amanda Smith has learned that such drinks can harm her health, she said, "It's sad to say,but I feel like I have to depend on energy drinks to keep me going now.”

 Taking about three times as much vitamin D as the norm may lower an individual's risk of developing colon, breast or ovarian cancer, a study says.

 Americans typically take 320 units a day of the vitamin，consisting of 200 from food and 120 from supplements. Daily intake of about 1 ， 000 units may cut the odds of getting colon cancer by about half,and the chances of getting breast or ovarian cancer by about a third, ac?cording to the researchers.

 Vitamin D supplementation could reduce cancer incidence " at low cost，with few or no side effects”，the researchers said in an article appearing in the February 2006 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

"The strongest effect is for colorectal cancer,”said lead author Cedric Garland, 59, a pro?fessor of family and preventive medicine at University of California-San Diego, in a telephone interview Tuesday. Garland said.

  The U. S. National Academy of Sciences recommends daily vitamin D intake of at least 200 units for adults 50 or younger; 400 units at ages 51 to 70 ，and 600 units for people 71 or older. The upper limit for safe intake is 2， 000 units daily. Thus,the dose recommended by the re?searchers is beyond what most people now get and what the government recommends.

A glass of milk contains about 100 units of the vitamin, Garland said. While cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D，it also contains a lot of vitamin A and the two vitamins compete for reception by the body,Garland said. He doesn't recommend cod liver oil as a source of vitamin   D.

To ensure getting 1 ， 000 units of vitamin D, most people probably can take two 400-unit tablets，with the other 200 units coming from foods such as salmon，orange juice，yogurt and cheese, Garland said. Getting enough vitamin D through supplements would cost less than 5 cents a day，he said.

Although sunlight helps the body produce natural vitamin D，the researchers urged getting the minimum of 1， 000 units through food and supplements. Dark-skinned people, who need more sunlight to make vitamin   D.are at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency，the scientists said.

   A.How to take Vitamin D in daily life.

   B.Scientists urge a bigger dose of Vitamin   D.

   C.The connection between Vitamin D and cancers.

   D.From food and daily supplements.

(   ) 3. Why is cod liver oil not recommended as a source of Vitamin D?

   A.It doesn't contain a lot of Vitamin   D.

   B.Some people may take in Vitamin A more from it.

   C.Although it is rich in Vitamin   D.it's hard for people to take it in.

   D.It has some unexpected side effects.

   A.People can take as much Vitamin D as they can.

   B.Generally, older people need more Vitamin D than the younger.
