I stood in the doorway,watching my older brother carefully putting clothes into his bag.I coughed uneasily.When he realized that I was there,Rocky turned toward me  1  a sad smile

    “I’m  2  tomorrow,”he said.“I know.”My  3  was almost a whisper(低声,耳语).I was angry at  4  for being so weak,but I wasn’t about to(将要)cry.“My  5  is early so there is enough time to come to the airport,”he said.Seeing the sad look on my face,he quickly added,“I  6   won’t leave without saying goodbye.”

    I tried to say  7  .but didn’t.It’s always better to  8  if you’re about to cr.

    “You promised you wouldn’t cry,”he said to me,thinking that I was to cry.I remember the day he   9   me how to ride a bike.At first I thought he was always right behind me,holding the seat to keep me from  10  .I was happy with this,but he knew he  11  hold me up all my life.He told me that one day he would have to leave.His coughing stopped my  12  .What was left to say?  13  could l say goodbye to the person who taught me everything?

    The next morning I   14  ,looked at my alarm clock,and realized he had left  15  before.We never even said goodbye.

Goodbye,Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away,I knew he heard me,even if it was only an answer in his heart.

Vitamin(维生素)D is called “sunshine vitamin,”and it is very important to health,yet more Americans are not getting enough,U.S.researchers said on Monday.Researchers found that 75 percent of Americans can’t reach the levels of vitamin D,up from about 50 percent of them 20 years ago.Getting enough vitamin D can be easy:spend 10 minutes in the sun with legs and arms exposed (暴露),or take vitamin pills.

    “But people’s habits have changed…they are less active and outdoors less,and also protecting their skin from the sun because of skin cancer risk(皮癌风险),”said Dr.Adit Ginde,who did the study.Traditionally, vitamin D has been seen important to bone(骨)health and to prevent rickets(软骨病),but recent discoveries show many kinds of cells(细胞)use vitamin D in some way, Ginde said.

    Food can boost(提升)vitamin D levels,but only a few foods.Those include some kinds of fish(salmon,sardines,tuna and mackerel)and milk.But the amounts in milk are not enough to keep people healthy.In the last few years,vitamin D has gained more attention.People are paying a lot more attention to it.A second study in the journal supposed the idea of providing more vitamin D for bone health.Researchers did a research on some people aged 65 or older.They found that spinal bone fractures(脊椎断裂)decreased(卜降)20 percent when the patients took vitamin D every day.

    Researcher Heike Bischoff-Ferrari wrote in the report.”it is possible for people to increase the amount of vitamin D earlier to keep healthy.”

    My grandfather took me by the hand and seated me on his lap.He looked at me,not at all angry or upset.“  9  (tell)me,”he asked,“why did you do it?”
