  Milk was one of the main human foods long before history was written.It will probably remain one as long as there are animals that give milk.The old word “milk” came from Sanskrit(梵文), one of the oldest languages known to man.A very old picture of milking, which was drawn five thousand years ago, has been found.

  In the past, years long ago, people got their milk from their own animals.But in modern times new inventions made the milk industry a big business.In 1851 Gall Borden found a way to take some of the water from milk.This made milk keep longer.Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way to kill the bacteria(细菌)in milk.Next a special milk bottle was made.This was followed by the invention of machines that could fill bottles with milk.These discoveries had a great effect on the milk industry.They meant that milk could be stored longer.

  Some people believe that milk drinking will become less popular than it has been.But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of the many ways in which it is useful.It seems safe to say that the milk industry will always be important.

  Radioactivity is dangerous. It may cause skin burns; it may destroy good tissues (组织) and it may cause illness that could be passed on to our children and grandchildren, In case of exposure (暴露) it may even cause death.

  In the early days of radioactivity, scientists did not realize these dangers, Marie and Pierre Curie, after having worked for a while with radioactive materials, noticed that their fingers were reddened and swollen (红肿) and the skin was peeling off. Henry Becquered carried a small tube with radium in it in his waistcoat pocket, and was surprised to find a burn on his chest. Other early workers also reported burns and harm of different kinds.

  The strange fact that it can harm without causing pain is the warning signal we expect from harmfulness. Pain makes up pull back our hands from a fire or a hot object, but a person carrying radioactive materials had no way of telling whether he is touching something too “hot” for safety. Besides, the “burns” or other harmfulness that radioactivity produces may not appear for weeks. A person may have been hurt without knowing it for some time .

阅读下面一篇短文,按照要求回答短文后面的问题:

  My husband is on the front lines in Iraq. Not as a soldier, but as a reporter. When I told my friend about his latest task, each had the same reaction, “Did you tell him no?”

  They remind me, as if I'd somehow forgotten, that he has left behind our three young children for weeks, perhaps months. He will be risking his life, they say, only for some news.

  Is it worth it?

  I understand the pity they feel for me because of the burden suddenly heaped on my shoulders.

My 5-year-old daughter designed a schedule to determine which of the children would keep me company in my empty bed at night. Whether it was her turn or not, I can usually wake to find her huddled against me. My 7-year-old son has many questions about the war and weapons. Though I've never allowed my children to watch the evening news, National Public Radio has been my constant companion, and he was interested in any mention of the war, and he questions me about “when will dad go home”. Most troubling of all, my 9-year-old daughter has said nothing. She has asked no questions and she merely glances at the photo of her father displayed on the page next to his article each morning. And all three are probably the only kids at their school who can find Iraq on a map.

  In the end, when friends ask, “Is it worth it?” I can answer yes. He, like other reporters from other countries, is presenting us with the truth.

  So when my friends ask, I tell them it wasn't a matter of letting him go or making him stay. My husband just does what his career asks him to do.

Answer the following questions:

1.Where is the author's husband?

________________________________

2.What do the author's friends think of her husband going to Iraq?

________________________________

3.Why does the author think her 9-year-old daughter is most troubling of all?

________________________________

4.What does the author think of her husband going to Iraq?

________________________________
