     Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn't want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest!
     In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four
years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That's enough to purchase
and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem Survival.
Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide.Logging (伐木) and farming
are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though
rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world's plants and animals.
Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
     Evan's work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes
are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world.Evan's goal is "to save enough rainforests to last forever". He won't have to do it alone.His actions have already inspired other
kids to chip_in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other
kids are starting their own conservation teams.
     Evan says every one can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his
family try to make a difference every day. "We recycle, we try to limit our garbage...we've been walking a
little more, and we buy local food," Evan said.

     Drinking alcohol(酒精)is dangerous for kids and teens and sometimes for adults, too.
Alcohol is a drug, and it is the drug most abused by teens. Many kids have their first drink
at an early age, as young as 10 or 11 or even younger.
     They may have seen their parents drink or cool advertisements for beer and wine. It's
easy for a kid to get the wrong message about alcohol. In TV commercials, drinking looks
like a lot of fun, you might see people drinking; and watching sports together or having
a big party.
     But alcoholisactuallya depressant (镆静剂 ).That means it's a drug that slows down
or depresses the brain. Like many drugs, alcohol changes a person's ability to think,
speak and see things as they really are.
     A person might lose his or her balance and have trouble walking properly. The person
might feel relaxed and happy and start crying or have an argument.
     When people drink too much,.They might hurt themselves or other people, especially
if they drive a car. Someone who drinks too much also might throw up and could wake
up the next day feeling awful. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning,
which can kill a person. Over time, someone who abuses alcohol can do serious damage
to his or her body. The liver, which removes poisons from the blood, is especially at risk.'
     Because alcohol can cause such problems, teens shouldn't be allowed to use alcohol,
and people who drink alcohol are not allowed to drive cars.

     After crying a river of tears,having too much drink the night before,or spending little time for
sleep,you may find yourself with red swollen eyes. Although you can cover your eye bags with
a cool pair of sunglasses,you still have to deal with your eye problem when you have to remove
them. What's more,bags under the eyes are usually accompanied by other problems such as dark
circles or extreme redness.
     Swollen eyes usually last for hours or a couple of days. If you are not going anywhere,it is
actually good for you to just let nature determine when your swollen eyes are coming back to
normal. However,if you have an important meeting,a date,or you are going to attend a special
occasion,having eye bag can really be annoying. Here are some tricks on how you can recover
your eyes from being swollen.
     Some people have more chance to have eye bags,while others don't. If you are one of the
individuals who often have swollen eyes,then you should stay away from things that are causing
your eyes to swell.
     If you have an important date,you should remember to sleep well the night before. Also,make
sure that you are not wild with alcohol,which may be responsible for the phenomenon. Getting
easy with salty foods may also be a good idea because like alcohol,too much salt can also make
you keep much water.
     If you were not able to prevent your eyes from becoming swollen,then do not be depressed.
here are plenty of things you can do,such as performing eye massage to help reduce the possibility.
     Using your ring finger,simply massage your eye area in circular motion,starting from your nasal
sinuses(鼻窦)then to the cheeks. Make sure that you slightly push the skin upwards so as not to
cause wrinkles. Repeat the massage for about five times on each eye. Gently massaging the area
will help get rid of pooled water faster.
     Placing a cool eye mask (choose the one without holes for more coverage)on your eyes for
10 to 15 minutes will help comfort your eyes. Moreover,your blood vessels (血管)will shrink or
tighten due to the cold temperature. This will help remove water beneath the skin under your eyes.
If you do not have a plastic eye mask,you can use pieces of cold melon or used teabags.
     If you have swollen eyes,it would be best for you to drink plenty of cold water or other cold
drink. As mentioned earlier,the cool temperature encourages blood vessels to shrink,which will
help in promoting better water loss. Basically,the bags under your eyes are simply water or fluid
that was not properly removed out of your system.
     If you still have eye bags even after you performed the tricks above,then you need to skip
eyeliner for the day. This makeup is used to emphasize the shape of the eyes so if you have swollen
eyes,the eyeliner will only highlight the shortcoming.

     Now, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of
diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements(补品),though expensive, are popular with people who
worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many
people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve
health or protect against disease.
     In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example,
too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors,
as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.
     Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they
lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have
enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from
foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this
vitamin from sunlight.
     Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the
yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain
substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables
and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.
     In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is
important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies
need.

1. What is probably talked about before this passage?
A. How many vitamins a person's body needs.
B. How many vitamins some foods contain.

2. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because ________.
A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health
B. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eat
C. food does not provide enough vitamins people need
D. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease

3. From the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _________.
A. never to take any vitamin supplements
B. to depend only on food for their vitamins
C. not to take any vitamins together with medicines
D. to consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements

4. For people who lack Vitamin B-twelve, they can eat more from _______.
A. sweet potatoes
B. green leafy vegetables
C. pork products
D. eggs

      When one person gains weight , their close friends oftenfollow. Researchers have just
offered evidence in a study that says obesity (肥胖) appears to spread through social ties.
But the findings might also offer hope.
     If friends help make obesity acceptable , then they might also be influential in losing the
fat.The researchers note that support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with
other socially influenced problems , likealcoholism (酗酒 ) .
     The findings appeared in the New EngLand Journal of Medicine. The researchers used
information collected from 12, 000 people. It was collected between 1972 and 2003 as
part of the Framingham Heart Study.
     The information was highly detailed. There was even contact information(联络信息 )
for close friends of the people in the study.
     The researchers examined more than 40 , 000 social ties. They found a person's
chances of becoming severely overweight increased by 50% if a friend had become
obese.
     A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of
becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.
     Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead researcher in the study.
He says there is a direct causal relationship (因果关系) betweena persongetting fatand
being followed in weight gain by a friend.
     The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex
friendship, a person had a 71%increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44%
increased risk of becoming obese after weight gainin a brother. In sisters ,it was 67% .
     The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each
other. James Fowler of the University of California,was the other lead expert. He says
a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the
same neighhorhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major
part of people's health is tied to their social connections.
     Both researchers say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical
issue , but a public health problem.
