Low-salt diets are actually harmful to our bodies, a recent study found. The scientists, led by Andrew Mente of McMaster University, found that no matter whether one has high blood pressure or not, low sodium intake(钠摄入量)increased the risk of stroke(中风),heart attack and death.
The study goes on to suggest that only certain people who are likely to get high blood pressure and who eat food with high levels of sodium should be worried about reducing sodium intake in their diets. McMaster university's Martin O'Donnell,the study's co-author, said in May 2016,“This study adds to our understanding of the relationship between salt intake and health. The study also doubts the correctness of the present guidelines that suggest low salt intake for everyone.”
Mente added, “low sodium intake reduces blood pressure in some degree, but it also has other effects.” In the McMaster University study, the researchers considered a high level of sodium consumption(消耗) to be over 6 grams every day. Mente pointed out, “This shows that many people around the world are taking in healthy amounts of salt.” Mente did not agree with the present guidelines on reducing sodium intake in almost all countries. However, he would accept efforts to reduce salt intake in some areas, such as China and Central Asia, where the average salt consumption is unusually high.
However, Elliott Antman, past president of the American HeartAssociation(AHA) was angry with Mente's study. “The study does not correctly measure sodium intake, and it should not make Americans stop worrying about salt. The American Heart Association continues to suggest less than 1.5 grams of sodium each day from all sources,” he said.

【题目】 Hughes is a 24-year-old man from the UK. He often wears the same clothes for many days because he doesn’t know how to use a washing machine.

This is not a joke. Hughes is not the only one who doesn’t have basic(基本的)life skills. A study shows that today’s young people in the UK are less able than people before when it comes to basic life skills.

For example, about 35% don’t know how to sew () and 11% don’t understand how to iron (熨烫) clothes.

This problem is shared by young people in the United States as well. Many young men in the US are losing the skill of cooking, and they like to order take-out food .

Technology(科技)may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in a digital age (数字化时代), young people often use phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read maps.

However, this does not mean that young men can not do basic everyday tasks. As their lives have changed, the main life skills have changed as well.

The study results show that although only 45% know how to pay their water bills(账单)after leaving home, 72% could help set up a WiFi network in a new house.

1Why does Hughes often wear the same clothes for many days?

A.Because he has been used to that.B.Because he doesn’t know how to wash them.

C.Because he likes to play jokes on others.D.Because he doesn’t have other clothes to change for.

2According to the text, young people today _____.

A.don’t need to learn basic life skillsB.can’t finish basic everyday tasks

C.are forming new basic life skillsD.are good at setting up WiFi networks

3What could be the main reason for this problem?

A.Parents’ love for their children.B.Too much homework every day.

C.Technology in the digital age.D.The popular use of GPS.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
Campbell Remess, a 12-year-old boy from Tasmania, has an unusual hobby—sewing(缝纫). He makes teddy bears, and gives them to children at the local hospital. “If Campbell could be on that sewing machine for 24 hours, he would,” said his mother, Sonia.
Campbell is one of nine children, so when he had the idea of giving Christmas presents to kids in hospital, the only choice was to make them himself. “First, I took a lot of practice,” said Campbell. “ I haven't sewn anything before.” He downloaded patterns from the Internet and learned by trial and error (反复试验). At first, a bear took him five hours to make, but now it only takes him an hour to make a bear.
Campbell visits the hospital every Thursday, giving out new bears and visiting kids whom he's given gifts before. “He looks at sadness and tries to turn it upside down,” Said Sonia.

Even though he received the medical treatment, there was still an 80-percent recurrence rate(复发率). “When we discovered Dad had cancer, we all felt very upset.,” said Campbell. “As a result, the cancer got worse with stress. So I made my first bear, hoping that Dad could be free from cancer.
Since Nathan got the bear, ▲ It's the longest period he has been free from cancer.“ there's a little magic in it,” said Nattan. “ A lot of magic in Campbell though.”
