Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入，摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units（IU）a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.

The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting（插入）flexible needles （针）into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.

To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist（手腕）, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas（然而，反之） the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

1．Acupuncture is a kind of _______.

A. medical needles          B. medical equipment

C. medical technique        D. medical examination

2. To perform the acupuncture skillfully, one _______.

A. has to learn how to insert the needles accurately in the right place

B. should insert the needles where the pain is to be prevented

C. needs to be trained for a short period of time

D. must use fewer needles than in the past

3. According to the 3rd paragraph, we can infer _______.

A. people must insert a needle in the wrist to prevent the pain in the mouth

B. people come to realize the shortcomings of the acupuncture

C. people are convinced to use the acupuncture to cure diseases

D. people need to make deeper research into the acupuncture

4.Nowadays, more and more people prefer having acupuncture because _______.

A. acupuncture has no side effects after the operation

B. acupuncture costs them less than having chemicals

C. chemicals usually cause many more deaths

D. they want to protect the traditional Chinese medicine

5. The author of the passage tends to be ________ acupuncture.

A. strongly against      B. in favor of     C. doubtful about      D. uninterested in

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?”

When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”

In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice—I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself.

The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.

In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time—at the age of 17 —when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.

But now, living in my American middle—class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility (谦虚). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.

1.How did the writer give the blind woman money?

A．In a modest way.    B．In a polite way.      C．In an impatient way.  D．In a painful way.

2.According to the text, the writer________.

A. still lives a poor life                 B. was busy with his work

C. was born in Honduras               D. was a native of Washington D.C.

3.According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should_________.

A．be nice to the elderly and the disabled       B．try to experience different kinds of cultures

C．treat others equally with love and respect     D．think about one’s past as often as possible

4.What would be the best title of the text?

A．A priceless lesson                       B．An act of prejudice

C．A sightseeing trip                       D．A humble moment
