资料:What,if anything,do we gain by clinging to our antioxidant supplements?
Very little,according to an accumulating body of research. We don’t need massive doses of antioxidants,we need stress to compel our own bodies to create antioxidants.“Everybody thinks oxidation is bad,and that antioxidants are good,”says Dr.Jones,“That’s bogus. A little bit of poison is good.”
That poison can actually come from plants,especially those that have survived harsh conditions. Foods that have survived harsh conditions make us stronger by stressing our bodies,not because they’re rich in antioxidants.
As the science quarterly Nautilus explains,plants have developed an arsenal of chemicals to help them ward off insects and grazers. These“antifeedants,”when ingested by humans,trigger the body to release proteins and activate genes that “produce antioxidants,enzymes to metabolize toxins,proteins to flush out heavy metals,and factors that enhance tumor suppression.”
Plants prepare your body to handle toxins in the same way as exercise prepares you to race-by stressing your body. And supplements,says Dr.Hooper,interrupt this process.
“These antioxidant supplements are like a Trojan horse,”continues Dr.Hooper. They say,I’m a good guy. You guys go to sleep and while the defense is asleep the antioxidants get rid of any oxidation. It puts the defense-system’s army to sleep.
While Dr.Jones acknowledges the benefits of vitamin E for muscle cramps and macular degeneration,he doesn’t approve the idea that it improves one’s physical performance. He suggests that athletes in intense contact sports such as soccer and football benefit from trauma. “Players have to be hit with pads on Tuesdays and Thursdays in order to compete on Sundays-they need that actual trauma.”he says.
“Everything in our society is geared toward,How can we reduce stress?”adds Dr.Hooper. “When it should be just the opposite. We need stress. Stress is good.

Why is stress good according to Dr.Jones?

A.It is good for muscle cramps.
B.It is good for macular degeneration.
C.It goes well with trauma.
D.It makes human body stronger.

4.Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence. But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.Most of us have a dream, or heart's desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, I can’t, we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn't it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn't mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone's day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of aprominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.So,what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!(1)According to the author, dreams ___________.A、refer to dreams in our sleepB、refer to dreams in the daytimeC、gives meaning and purpose to our lifeD、enables life to be a hollow existence(2)What are the stages in following a dream?A、Setting the switch of our dream on, making a commitment, and releasing the power.B、Setting the switch of our dream on, committing ourselves, and following the dream.C、Believing we can do it, committing ourselves, and acting.D、Believing we can do it, acting and making a commitment.(3)What does the dream of the author's aunt illustrate?A、To illustrate we should commit ourselves and start acting.B、To illustrate our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.C、To illustrate her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson.D、To illustrate we all have the power to follow a dream.(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、Whether the switch of your dream is ON or OFF is left entirely to yourself.B、If we believe we can do it, there won’t be any problems.C、We will find what we look for.D、The author's aunt's dream was not any less significant than that of a prominent person.(5)The passage mainly tells us that __________.A、a dream gives meaning and purpose to our life.B、if dreams die, life will become meaningless.C、we should follow our dream which will make a difference to us and other people.D、a worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.

  • 第7题:

    We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts,and this drives us to communlcate.It is a useful feature of our brain,because it ensures that knowledge,experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them,and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds.Of course,in order for that to happen,merely sharing is not enough.We need to cause a reaction.Each time we share our opinions and knowledge,it is with the intention of having an impact on others.Here's the problem,though:we approach this task from inside our own heads.When attempting to create impact,we reflect on what is persuasive to us,our state of mind.our desires and our goals.But if we want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of the person in front of us,we need to understand what goes on inside their head.


    答案:
    解析:
    我们在分享自己的想法时会感到一阵愉悦.正是这种感觉驱使我们进行交流。我们大脑的这个特点非常有用.因为它保证了知识、经验和想法不会随着它们最初的拥有者而遭到埋没;我们作为一个社会,则能从许多聪明人的成果中受益。当然,要使这种情况发生,单纯的分享是不够的。我们需要引起一个反应。我们每次分享自己的意见和知识时,正是抱着对他人施加影响的目的。但这正是问题所在:我们从自己的内心出发处理这件事情。当我们试图造成影响时,我们回想对我们具有说服力的东西.我们的精神状态,我们的渴望以及我们的目标。但我们如果想影响我们面前这个人的行为和想法,却需要理解他们的脑子里在想什么。

    ◆Topic 9:Keeping Variety of Language and Culture  Questions for Reference:  1) What is the reason for losing a variety of language and culture?  2) What are the solutions to the problem of languages and culture dying?  3) What’s the most important thing we should do to save our language and cult/are from now on?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    Nowadays, international communication has become more and more important, people prefer to communicate in languages, such as English, Arabic and Chinese. But many of the world’s languages and culture are dying out. In my presentation I will examine the problem of languages and culture, dying and the solutions, such as writing books and increasing language population levels.
    Firstly, as the technology improves, people around the world are relying more and more on electronic devices to communicate with each other. While this trend is helping the major culture, it is having a harmful effect on the minor culture that could be swallowed up by the major culture.
    Secondly, some of the world’s languages are not being learned widely by children or used in daily commerce. In some boarding schools, children were punished for speaking their parent’s language. Despite the desires of language and culture activists, the outlook is somewhat grim.
    People already realize this problem exists and are trying to solve it. For one solution, people can record the culture and languages on books or tapes, making sure our descendants can learn or use them in the future.
    The second solution is increasing the language population levels. Governments can make some policies, like encouragement for people to learn and teach the languages facing extinction, no matter whether the language is used in daily commerce or not. By trying to keep them alive, at least they have a future as second languages.
    The important thing is to learn the elder’s tongue and culture before it’s too late. Otherwise we will lose them.
