4．Eating hot dogs，ham and other processed meat can cause colorectal （直肠的） cancer，and eating red meat"probably"can also cause cancer，the World Health Organization's cancer agency reported Monday．
Kurt Straif of the International Agency for Cancer Research said the risk of developing colorectal cancer from eating processed meat remains small but rises with the amount consumed．Consuming red meat was linked to colorectal cancer，but the link was not as strong，the IARC report said．
"In view of the large number of people who consume processed meat，the global effect on cancer incidence is of public health importance，"Straif said．
"Red and processed meat are among 940agents reviewed by IARC and found to show some level of theoretical‘hazard'（危险），"institute spokeswoman Betsy Booren said．
Processed meat was defined as meat transformed through salting，curing，fermentation （发酵），smoking"or other processes to improve flavor or preservation．"The most common processed meats consumed in the U．S．include hot dogs，sausages，bacon，ham，canned meat and beef jerky （牛肉干）．
The IARC said it considered more than 800studies that investigated possible links between a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat or processed meat in many countries and populations with diverse diets．
"The experts concluded that each 50gram portion-about 1.75ounce，or about two strips of bacon-of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%"，the IARC said．
IARC director Christopher Wild said the findings support current public health recommendations to limit intake of meat but stressed that red meat has nutritional value．He said governments and international regulatory agencies must balance the risks and benefits of eating red meat and processed meat"to provide the best possible dietary recommendations．"

3．My mom only had one eye．I hated her…she was such an embarrassment．My mom ran a small shop at a flea market．She collected little weeds and such to sell…anything for the money we needed．There was this one day during elementary school．
I remember that it was field day，and my mom came．I was so embarrassed．How could she do this to me？I threw her a hateful look and ran out．The next day at school…"Your mom only has one eye？!"and they taunted me．
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom，"Mom，why don't you have the other eye？!You're only going to make me a laughingstock．Why don't you just die？"My mom did not respond．I guess I felt a little bad，but at the same time，it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time．Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me，but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly．
That night…I woke up，and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water．My mom was crying there，so quietly，as if she was afraid that she might wake me．I took a look at her，and then turned away．Because of the thing I had said to her earlier，there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart．Even so，I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye．So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful，because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty．
Then I studied really hard．I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied，and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had．Then，I got married．I bought a house of my own．Then I had kids，too．Now I'm living happily as a successful man．I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom．
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger，when someone unexpected came to see me"What？!Who's this？!"It was my mother…Still with her one eye．It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me．My little girl ran away，scared of my mom's eye．
And I asked her，"Who are you？I don't know you!!"as if I tried to make that real．I screamed at her"How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!Get out of here now!!"And to this，my mother quietly answered，"oh，I'm so sorry．I may have gotten the wrong address，"and she disappeared．Thank goodness…she doesn't recognize me．I was quite relieved．I told myself that I wasn't going to care，or think about this for the rest of my life．
Then a wave of relief came upon me…one day，a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house．I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip．After the reunion，I went down to the old shack，that I used to call a house…just out of curiosity there，I found my mother fallen on the cold ground．But I did not shed a single tear．She had a piece of paper in her hand…．it was a letter to me．
She wrote：
My son，I think my life has been long enough now．And…I won't visit Seoul anymore…but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while？I miss you so much．And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion．But I decided not to go to the school…．For you…I'm sorry that I only have one eye，and I was an embarrassment for you．You see，when you were very little，you got into an accident，and lost your eye．As a mother，I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye…so I gave you mine…I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me，in my place，with that eye．I was never upset at you for anything you did．The couple times that you were angry with me．I thought to myself，‘it's because he loves me．'I miss the times when you were still young around me．I miss you so much．I love you．You mean the world to me．
My World Shattered．I hated the person who only lived for me．I cried for My Mother，I didn't know of any way that will make up for my worst deeds…

It is well-known that good habits do us good all our life．Entered high school，I took delight in having fast food and often eat too much．In the end，I was so serious overweight that I suffered a lot from my awkward appearance．It made matters worse was the fact that my classmates made a fun of me at times．From now on，I made up my mind to avoiding snacks．In the meanwhile，I took off jogging to lose weight．To my surprise，it was not long until I did succeed in creating my new appearance．Only then I start to appreciate the importance of developing a good habit．

17．You never see them，but they are with you every time you fly．They record where you're going，how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to stand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They're known as the black box
When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean June 30，2009，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine（潜水艇） detected the device's homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152passengers were killed．
In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first model for a black box，which became a requirement on all U．S commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to stand crashes，however，so in 1965the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear（尾部）of the plane---the area least subject to impact---from its original position in the landing wells （起落架舱）．That same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．
Modern airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder，which tracks pilots'conversation，and a flight-data recorder，which monitor fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．Placed in an insulated（隔绝的） case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel，the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2，000℉．When they went under the water，they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20，000feet．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they're still likely to turn up．In the about 20deep-sea crashes over the past 30years，only one plane's black boxes were never found．

32．What does the author say about the black box？C
A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane
B．The idea for it's design comes from a comic book
C．Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible
D．It is an necessary device on an airplane
33．What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner？A
A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash
B．The total number of passengers on board
C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage
D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash
34．Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow？C
A．To tell them from the color of the plane
B．To caution people to handle them with care
C．To make them easily identified
D．To meet international standards
35．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447？A
A．There is still a good chance of their being found
B．There is an urgent need for them to be restructured
C．They have stopped sending homing signals
D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．

16．Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio．These public media receive money to operate from private citizens，organizations and government．Many of their programs are educational．But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit．These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years．Newspapers，magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity．At the same time，online，cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength．So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages．
In general，more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment．At the same time，fewer owners control them．Huge companies have many holdings（股份）．In some areas，one company controls much of the media．One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television．It comes into most homes over wires．It does not use the public airwaves to present programs，as broadcast television does．Like broadcast television，most cable television programs perform advertisements．This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes．Thirty years ago，few people had cable．Today，about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television．Television by satellite also is gaining popularity．
Over the years，traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible．Many cable companies，however，present programs for one special group of viewers．For example，there are cable stations for people who like books，cooking，travel，golf or comedy．
