　　Scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C was a serious problem in the past when fresh fruits and vegetables were not available during the winter in many parts of the world．It was especially common among sailors in the days when only nonperishable(不易腐烂的)foods could be stored aboard ship．The symptoms of the disease include gradual weakening, pale skin, muscle pain, loss of teeth, internal bleeding, fainting and then lung and kidney trouble．Eventually, the sailor “went to Davy Jones's locker”(naval slang for dying)．

　　More than half the crew of Vasco da Gama died from scurvy on his first trip(1497－1499)around the Cape of Good Hope．In 1747 the Scottish naval surgeon James Lind treated scurvy-ridden sailors with lemons and oranges and obtained dramatic cures．In 1795 the British navy began to distribute regular amount of lime juice during long sea voyages, a measure that was largely successful in preventing scurvy．

　　Scurvy was probably the first disease to be definitely associated with a dietary deficiency．Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing．These elements are called “vitamins”．Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A,B,C,D, and so on．Different diseases are associated with deficiencies of particular vitamins．

　　The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables．It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, saying during extended periods of religious fasting(斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins．

(1)

Which of the following sentence can express the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Deficiencies of Vitamin C may cause serious disease．
B．	Fresh fruit and green vegetable contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body．
C．	Vitamins play an important role in people's health．
D．	A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us．

[　　]
A．	not to eat much salted meat
B．	to have more fresh fruits and vegetables
C．	to supplement our diet with various vitamin pills
D．	to develop a good dietary habit

(3)

[　　]
A．	engineering

(4)

Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought（干旱）. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals（节日）. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended（延长）daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.
【小题1】. Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _______________.

A．to stop the drought in 1967	B．to support government officials
C．to pass a special law in the state	D．to save water and electricity

【小题2】.. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?
