People have known since ancient times that aspirin（阿司匹林） reduces pain and lowers high body temperature. But that is not all the drug can do. In recent years, it has been used in other ways, too. Small amounts may help prevent a stroke or heart attack. One recent study showed that some people who took two aspirin pills a day had lower rates of colorectal cancer. And, some researchers say aspirin may help patients with colon cancer live longer. So, how did aspirin become so important? The story begins with a willow（柳树）．
2, 000 years ago, the Greek doctor Hippocrates advised his patients to chew on the bark and leaves of the willow. The tree contains a chemical called salicin. In the 1800s, researchers discovered how to make salicylic acid from the chemical. In 1897, a chemist named Felix Hoffmann at Friedrich Bayer and Company in Germany created acetyl salicylic acid. Later, it became the active substance in a medicine that Bayer called aspirin. The "a" came from acetyl. The "spir" came from the spirea plant, which also produces salicin. And the "in" ? That is a common way to end medicine names.
In 1982, a British scientist shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in part for discovering how aspirin works. Sir John Vane found that aspirin prevents the body from making the natural substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have several effects on the body. Some cause pain and swelling（肿）． Prostaglandins also make the heart, kidneys(肾) and blood vessels work well. So there is a problem. Aspirin works against all prostaglandins, good and bad. It can also harm the inside of the stomach, and sometimes it can cause bleeding.
But a British study released in 2009 suggested that taking another drug with a small amount of aspirin may help reduce the risk of bleeding. If this proves true, it would help thousands of people who are seeking to prevent life-threatening conditions.
小题1: The writer wrote this passage to______.

A．tell us the harm of aspirin

B．help us know aspirin better

C．explain why aspirin is useful

D．prove that aspirin is a good medicine

小题2:What do we learn about aspirin from Paragraph 1?

A．It is not used until recent years.

B．Using it for a long time may lead to cancer.

C．It is very dangerous if it is used in the wrong way,

D．It has gained important new uses in recent years.

小题3:When was the acetyl salicylic acid created?

A．about 2,000 years ago.	B．In the early 1800s.
C．In the late 1800s	D．In recent years

小题4:What is waiting to be solved according to the last paragraph?

A．The bleeding caused by taking aspirin.

B．How to reduce the risk of getting colorectal cancer.

C．How to help patients with colon cancer live longer

D．The problem of low body temperature caused by taking aspirin

My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn"t wonderful，but we had everything we needed(beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
　On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn"t know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.
　We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime.
