1、Smoking Can Increase Depressive Symptoms in TeensWhile some teenagers may puff on cigarettes to "self-medicate" against the blues, scientists at the University of Toronto ａｎｄ　the University of Montreal have found that smoking may actually increasedepressive symptoms in some teens."This observational study is one of the few to examine the perceived emotional benefits of smoking among teens," says lead researcher Michael Chaiton, a research associate at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit of the University of Toronto." Although cigarettes may appear to have self-medicating effects ｏｒto improve mood, in the long term we found that teens who started to smoke reported higher depressive symptoms. "As part of the study, some 662 high school teenagers completed up to 20 questionnaires about their use of cigarettes to affect mood. Secondary schools were selected to provide a mix of French ａｎｄ　English participants, urban ａｎｄ　rural schools, ａｎｄ　schools located in high, moderate ａｎｄ　low socioeconomic neighborhoods. Participants were divided into three ____: never smokers; smokers who did not use cigarettes to self-medicate, improve mood ｏｒphysical state; smokers who used cigarettes to self-medicate. Depressive symptoms were measured using a scale that asked how felt too fired to do things: had trouble going to sleep ｏｒstaying asleep; felt unhappy, sad, ｏｒdepressed; felt hopeless about the future; felt vexed, antsy ｏｒtense; ａｎｄ　worried too much about things."Smokers who used cigarettes as mood improvers had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked," says co-researcher Jennifer O\'Loughlin, a professｏｒat the University of Montreal Department of Social ａｎｄ　Preventive Medicine. "Our study found that teen smokers who reported emotional benefits from smoking are at higher risk of developing depressive symptoms."The association between depression ａｎｄ　smoking exists principally among teens that use cigarettes to feel better. "It\'s important to emphasize that depressive symptom scores were higher among teenagers who reported emotional benefits from smoking after they began to smoke," says Dr. Chaiton.【单选题】

2、Online Cancer Chat with a Safety NetCancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum fｏｒcancer patients to swap (变换) stories ａｎｄ　share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net.This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue (劣等的) "cancer cures" ｏｒscientifically unsound information.Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat, but if people wish to post a message, they will need to register.ａｎｄ　Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient ａｎｄ　star of TWs Casualty, has pledged her support fｏｒthe new project. "I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea," she said. "I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer ａｎｄ　I have had such a heart - warming response from other people going through the same thing."The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment ａｎｄ　side effects ａｎｄ　you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends ａｎｄ　family. ａｎｄ　with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum, people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged.Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website, which is specially designed to give patients ａｎｄ　their families 6,000 pages of up - to - date information that is easy to understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　explains a wide range of treatments fｏｒdifferent types of cancer ａｎｄ　gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ of cancer clinical trials.The award - winning website attracts around one million visitors a month ａｎｄ　Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.Fｏｒthose who do not have access to computers ａｎｄ　have questions about cancer, the charity\'s team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients\' concerns on the phone.The word "charity" in the last line but one refers to ______. 【单选题】

3、The Need to RememberSome people say they have no memory at all: "I just can\'t remember a thing!" But of course we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps U. S. to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory. Fｏｒexample, our visual memory helps us recall facts ａｎｄ　places. Some people have such a strong visual memory that they can remember exactly what they have seen, fｏｒexample, pages of a book, as a complete picture.Our verbal memory helps us remember words ａｎｄ　figures we may have heard but not seen ｏｒwritten: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, ｏｒa recipe.With our emotional memory, we recall situations ｏｒplaces where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness ｏｒunhappiness. We also have special memories fｏｒsmell, taste, touch ａｎｄ　sound, ａｎｄ　fｏｒperforming physical movements.We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items fｏｒup to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items fｏｒa lifetime. Older people in fact have a much biter long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance of when they were very young.Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past, ａｎｄ　that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline ofa story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past, ｏｒmaybe victims needing sympathy.Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:找到关键词：visual memory，在第二段中找到相关句子的表述：our visual memory（题目中的核心词）helps us recall（回忆）facts（事实）ａｎｄ　places（地点）。通过上述内容的表述，我们知道：人的视觉记忆能够帮助我们回忆起一些事实和地点。

4、Gun Rights in the US Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governｏｒboth hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons. Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country where gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seems unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it. In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada. The government adopted stricter gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby ａｎｄ　the electoral system. The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun controls anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both; they prefer power. According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So, although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves. Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said. "If one professｏｒin Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon they might have been able to ____ all this. " In his opinion, the massacre is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry, weapons, not fewer. But at the root of Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government , commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper. One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry; a concealed firearm, told the Guardian thin itwas every American\'s responsibility to have a gun. "Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection. " 【单选题】

A.control

B.stop

C.handle

D.treat

正确答案:B

答案解析:本句的if条件句，用了虚拟语气，表示一种没有成为现实的假设。即，如果在弗吉尼亚事件中，有一位教授当时带着一支合法的枪支的话，他们就有可能制止这一切的发生。根据语义应该填入stop。

5、Importance of Children\'s Oral HealthFebruary is National Children\'s Dental(牙齿的) Health Month, but in children good oral(口部的) care is critical every day. The first comprehensive study on the nation\'s oral health, released recently by the Office of the U. S. Surgeon General, calls dental ａｎｄ　oral diseases a "silent epidemic (流行病)", even in children. The report states that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental - related illness. In fact, a recent study pointed to dental care as the most common unmet health need among American children.To help counter this, the American Academy of Periodontology (牙周病学) (AAP) is launching an effort to educate children ａｎｄ　parents about the prevention of dental diseases in children."This is important because oral problems can impact self - esteem fｏｒchildren ａｎｄ　lead to problems of eating, speaking ａｎｄ　attending to learning," said Michael McGuire, president of the AAP.Common dental problems seen in children are cavities (龋洞) ａｎｄ　gingivitis (龈炎), which are found in the majority of U. S. children. "When these problems are not caught early ａｎｄ　treated, they can develop into more severe problems ａｎｄ　cause unnecessary suffering," said McGuire. "However, much of the time, oral problems are avoidable problems."In the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, aｇｒｏｕｐof more than 120 dentists(牙医) volunteers to deliver dental care to thousands of low - income children each year with its Mobile Dental Unit that travels from school to school."According to the Surgeon General\'s Report, about 37 percent of children have not had a dental visit before starting school," said McGuire. When children don\'t see dentists, they miss the opportunity to have problems caught early before they develop into larger, more expensive problems to treat, ａｎｄ　parents miss the opportunity to learn how to promote good oral habits in their children.Oral problems in children can develop into more severe problems.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显，带者题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据在文章第四段第二句：When these problems are not caught early ａｎｄ　treated，they can develop into more severe problem ａｎｄ　cause unnecessary suffering谈到这些问题如果没能及早发现和治疗，会发展成更严重的问题，所以本题和原文句意相符，答案是A。
