What do you think is the most common illness? Do you get ill sometimes? We are lucky to live now, because there are lots of medicines to make people better. The most common illness in the world is the cold. It often begins with a sore throat. Then you sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache too. Often you cough later. It"s not a very bad illness, but you can feel quite ill. There isn"t a cure (治愈) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For instance, aspirin (阿司匹林) can stop your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor once said to me, "With the proper (适当的) medicine, a cold will continue for seven days. With no medicine, it will continue for a whole week!" Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For instance, the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals (化学物质) are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals. There are some illnesses which we can"t cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, many people now live longer than their grandparents. |

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he discovered that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. Every day, people throw away about 280 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 4800 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don"t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. |

There has not been a worldwide spread (传播) of flu (流行性感冒) since 1968. Experts say there should have been another by now. The so-called Spanish flu in 1918 became the most deadly flu ever recorded. It killed an estimated twenty million to fifty million people. Almost half were young adults. There were two other widespread flu in the twentieth century. The Asian flu struck in 1957, and the Hong Kong flu in 1968. Scientists at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the cause of the widespread Spanish flu is not clear. But the two others are known to have resulted from a human virus that became mixed with a bird flu virus. And that could happen again. Scientists first identified bird flu in Italy more than one hundred years ago. Bird flu is caused by type A flu viruses. Type A are the most common, and usually cause the most serious flu spread in people. Currently the most serious kind of bird flu is known as h-five-n-one. It has spread among chickens and ducks in Asia. |

A new book needs a new idea. Raymond Knott"s idea is to organize his book like the human body with chapters on the head, eyes, chest and so on. Knott believes that we keep healthy by having a peaceful mind. He thinks we should not get too excited about anything. He says people cannot be happy if they are not healthy, and cannot be healthy if they are not happy. Some readers, like this one, may not agree with this. Knott has a lot to say about diet. One problem with the book is that he often says the same thing more than once, so the same information on diet is given in the chapters on the skin, heart and stomach. Maybe he does not expect people to read the book from start to finish, but only to read the chapters they are interested in. Knott tells us to eat very little meat. He says fruit and vegetables are much more healthy for us. In the chapter on the mouth, he advises us not to eat much sugar, and in the chapter on the heart, he writes a lot about how dangerous salt is. Knott is a fan of water, and thinks we should drink as much as possible to wash away things that are bad for us. He thinks this is the way to have good skin. In the chapter on the chest, Knott tells us to keep our lungs healthy by not smoking, and by making them work hard. He believes that climbing stairs, steps and even mountains is very good exercise. This exercise is also good for the heart. Knott says a lot more on exercise in the chapters on the arms and legs. These are my favourite chapters. There are a lot of ideas for keeping fit and strong. Clear diagrams explain the movements and they are easy to follow. Knott believes that we can all be healthy by following his advice. I do not really agree with him. Healthy living is very important, but not all ill-health is caused by the way we live. Sometimes our bodies are weak and the problem is genetic, coming from our family, not from our habits. Knott does not say much about doctors either. Going for health checks and tests is important, especially as we get older. Knott"s book has lovely pictures and some interesting ideas, but not all of them are good. | A. Reviewer"s opinion of the book B. Healthy diet advice C. Organization of the book D. Exercise advice E. Repeated information Health and happiness advice F. Health and happiness advice Paragraph 1: C 1. Paragraph 2: 2. Paragraph 3: 3. Paragraph 4: 4. Paragraph 5: 5.

Smoking have been banned (禁止) in the city"s kindergartens, schools, hospitals, stadiums, public service areas, shopping malls, libraries, theaters and museums, among other places, and violators will be fined. But the public and media are not optimistic (乐观) about the implementation (实施) of the regulations. To make the regulations really effective, basic power comes from passive smokers. The aim of the regulations is to protect their health rights, and passive smokers in turn, it is hoped, will take action to safeguard those rights by applying the regulations. But few non-smokers are ready to stand up to fight against smoking because they are not confident about stopping the smokers. They understand the power of individuals (个人) is limited. If they can form nongovernmental organizations, the situation will change. I believe many individuals, including non-smokers and passive smokers, will actively take part in organized fight against smoking. To this end, when legal powers do not cover all public places, nongovernmental organizations will be an effective power in fighting against smoking. | 1. The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places ______. | [ ] | A. has not taken effect B. has taken effect for nearly two months C. doesn"t take effect in the bookshop D. encourages people to smoke | 2. Many people in Shanghai think that the Regulations ______. | [ ] | A. are useless B. will not do well C. are not reasonable D. are for rich people | 3. What does passive smokers mean? | [ ] | A. 曾经吸烟者 B. 被动吸烟者 C. 年老吸烟者 D. 吸烟传递者 | 4. Why do so many non-smokers not safeguard their rights? | [ ] | A. Because they like to smell cigarette. B. Because they don"t have the rights to stop other people smoking. C. Because they don"t know the regulations. D. Because they think the power of each person is small. | 5. ______ will play an important role in fighting against smoking. | [ ] | A. Teachers and students B. Mothers and children C. The public and media D. Nongovernmental organizations |
