　　Most schools forbid chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule．Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health．It may even help improve your test scores．

　　This exciting research is just beginning．And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath．

　　Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream．That's because the lining(膜)of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines(肠)can．

　　That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more．Scientists might even create antimicrobial(抗菌的)gums that cure bad breath．

　　Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success：They've created a gum that could help us stay awake．

　　Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert．Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee．It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes．

　　The gum is easy to transport and it's stable in cold and hot climates．Unlike a pill, it doesn't require water to swallow．Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use．

　　For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military(军队)．The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public．People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert．

　　Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word：radiation．

　　Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses．It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us．There are other things like that．For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver．Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector．But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things．

　　At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright(全部地)by killing masses of cells in vital organs．But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage．There is no level of radiation that is completely safe．If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant．This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones．But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble．They reproduce themselves in a deformed way．They can grow into cancer．Sometimes this does not show up for many years．

　　This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation．Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred．A person can be irradiated(照射)and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result．Or a child can be born weak or liable(易于)to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents．

　　Radiation can hurt us．We must know the truth．

(1)

According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ________．
[　　]
A．	nuclear mystery
B．	radiation detection
C．	nuclear radiation
D．	radiation level

(2)

[　　]
A．	unnatural
B．	normal
C．	usual
D．	proper

(3)

What can we infer from the passage?
[　　]
A．	We can't detect radioactivity even with modern equipment．
B．	Only radiation at very high levels can damage an animal or human being．
C．	If all cells are damaged healthy cells will take the place of them．
D．	Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is．

(4)

What's the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
[　　]
A．	Discussing the cause of cancer．
B．	Solving the mystery about radiation．
C．	Emphasizing the importance of protection against radiation．
D．	Introducing the nuclear power．

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

We must have water to live. If the water we use is not clean and fresh ,it can make us ill. The animals that live in and around lakes and rivers must also have clean water.

Our rivers and lakes supply most of our water. The clear, blue water found by the first American settlers has changed. Many of our water sources are now polluted. They are filled with dirt and waste which cannot be cleaned out. In many places, water is not safe for most uses.

Lake Erie was once a beautiful lake. Now it has been called "a dying lake". Waste from nearly homes and factories has dumped into it . Fish can no longer live in much of its polluted water.

George Washington once called the Potomac "the finest river in the world". Now its water is no longer blue. Instead, it is a soupy (羹汤类的) green. Suds (肥皂水) from detergents (清洁剂) used to wash clothes, often cover the water of our rivers.

Water cannot be made in a factory. Once water is polluted, it is hard to make it clean and safe. We must learn to take care of the water we now have.

1．Most of our water supply comes from ________.

[　　]

2．The words"a dying lake" in paragraph 3 mean ________.

[　　]

A．a polluted lake

B．a very large lake

C．a beautiful lake
