26、 A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 death occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study, followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol levels.
【1】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.
B.Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.
C.Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.
D.There's a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.
【2】The underlined part "this relationship" refers to the connection between_________and the incidence of heart disease.
A.the amount of fish eaten B.regular fish-eating
C.the kind of fish eaten D.people of different regions
【3】The passage is mainly about .
A.the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B.the effect of fish eating on people's health
C.the changes in people's diet in recent years
D.the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
【4】Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?
A.Because American people drink too much spirits. B.Because there are a great many fat people there.
C.The author doesn't give a definite answer. D.Because American people eat too much fatty fish.
【5】How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study?
A.550,000 B.275,000 C.110,000 D.852
27、In 2011, she gave birth to her son, Sam, six weeks premature. During the birth his heartrate dropped and during the rush to get him out, Gill suffered a major tear which resulted in a permanent stoma (造口), an artificial opening made in her belly.
She was medically retired from her job as a police officer and diagnosed with post-traumatic (创伤后) stress disorder, postnatal depression and anxiety.
It took several years for Gill to find her feet, thanks in large part to exercise and an optimistic outlook. In 2015 she joined a cycling club and has since done a triathlon (三项全能运动), half ironman, scuba diving, sky diving and more. She has also setup a positivity blog and website called Stoma Chameleon which aims to inspire people who have experienced birth trauma or have a stoma.
“When I had my traumatic birth, there was nothing positive out there about how people can recover from something like that,” she explained before taking her latest swim in the lake at Chillingham Castle. “I wanted to show them what is possible and that they’re capable of more than they think.” Her challenge, which involved swimming in the sea at Boulmer or local rivers and lakes, aimed to raise money for the Birth Trauma Association.
“I am getting my bag out and my bikini on to raise awareness of birth injures and stomas,” said Gill. “I didn’t get my bag out in public until June 2020, and now I am putting up a sign on the beach telling my story to strangers, while walking energetically and excitedly in the icy sea.”

28、 We know that cigarette smoking kills. So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice — safer than tobacco. Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them. They are powered by battery.
However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?
The answer is children. Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns. More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. The devices had made them sick.
Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health. He says the problem is regulation, meaning, the U. S. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. Mr. McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. Mr. McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed. It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. And too much nicotine can kill.
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. “So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest.” E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. So, the U. S. Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.
But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a “gateway” to the real thing.
【1】What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?
A.Dangerous. B.Expensive.
C.Safer. D.Cheaper.
【2】Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?
A.Parents feared that their children might get poisoned.
B.Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking.
C.Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device.
D.Children might get addicted to playing with the device.
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes.
B.the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettes.
C.Surgeon General Boris
D.Lushniak is a heavy smoker.
【4】What is Tim McAfee’s opinion about smoking?
A.Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes.
B.Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick.
C.He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking.
D.He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.
