Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.

The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.

Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (膽固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.

Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, "The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods."

The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.

1.From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are ________.

A. a kind of protein B. a kind of food

C. a kind of medicine D. a kind of illness

2.According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs ________.

A. are the most nutritious food

B. can be included in a healthy diet

C. have no effect on blood cholesterol

D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK

3.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases

B. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs

C. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped

D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health

4.The text is meant ________.

A. to introduce a medicine made from eggs

B. to introduce scientific findings about eggs

C. to tell people how to lower their blood pressure

D. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

Bottled water is a booming industry in New Zealand, but it’s terrible for the environment —each bottle thrown away adding to the 190,000 tons of plastic New Zealanders throw into landfills each year.

But now one company has created water storage that they hope will prove to be just as convenient as a plastic bottle—but contains no actual plastic.

Skipping Rock Labs make Oohos, flexible membranes filled with water that are constructed using a seaweed extract—meaning they, re totally edible and biodegradable, wrapping and all.

There aren’t any known side effects from digesting the membranes, which are tasteless—though Ooho! says flavors can be added to make them more appetizing.

The company took to crowdfunding site CrowdCube with the idea, and it has since gone viral— with more than 900 investors bagging them A£ 751,700 to develop and launch the Ooho! balls ( $ 1.35 million).

Skipping Rock Labs create the balls by dipping ice into brown algae and calcium chloride, with the membrane taking shape around the ice—and while that may sound complicated, the company says it, s more cost-effective than producing a plastic bottle.

A layer atop the membrane can be peeled off just before drinking, for hygiene purposes. Skipping Rock Labs are hoping their new product takes off—and that it starts to put a dent into the plastic packaging industry.

1.The product Oohos made by the company Skipping Rock Labs has the following good points except that .

A. it is non-plastic B. it is edible

C. it is biodegradable D. it is expensive to make

2.How does the company make their idea work in practice?

A. By working with other companies. B. By advertising their samples.

C. By crowdfunding through a website. D. By borrowing money from the bank.

3.What does Paragraph 6 mainly tell us about?

A. Why the company made their product.

B. Where the company made their product.

C. How the company’s product was made.

4.What section of a newspaper will most probably carry this article?

A. Environment. B. Opinion.

C. Politics. D. Agriculture.

As is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tiring. There are many reasons for this. First of all, some of the students complain that they have too much homeworks, resulted in less time to take exercise. Besides, some of them think that it is very difficult for them to keep doing exercise, because it is a very hard thing. Because lack of physical activities, many students are in poorly health.

“You will be in my heart forever. Without you, there are only emptiness and desert in my life...” This is a line from a heartfelt poem Feng Duan wrote to his fiancee Chen Lianfang in 1955.

Feng is now 94 and Chen 90, and they have been married for more than half a century. Feng, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, may not be a professional poet but for 64 years, Feng has written countless love poems to his wife. On every important anniversary or festival, Feng would send a poem to Chen. In 1978, when Chen’s cancer surgery succeeded, Feng created more than ten poems to celebrate his wife’s recovery. Chen used a red suitcase to store these love poems. The academic has also translated many English, French and German poems into classical Chinese.

The couple was introduced to each other by a common friend in 1953 and Feng sent two paper copies of poems to Chen as a gift.

“As long as I think of you, a beam of sunshine lights up my heart,” Feng wrote.

Chen recalled the first time Feng invited her to his dormitory to have a cup of tea and she thought the cup was made of frosted glass. As the two became closer, Chen often visited the academic’s dorm. She realized that the cup was the only one poor Feng owned. The opaque (不透明的) cup was not frosted glass but common glass stained with toothpaste.

Later she bought many clothes and even a stove for Feng, making a nice change from the single man s life. Feng’s marriage to Chen brought more happiness and now Chen still looks after Feng’s daily needs.

“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation.1.Let’s cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.

1. When you are receiving praise.

We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(謙遜的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something.2.

2. When you are running late.

It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, I’m late.”3. Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.

3. When you’re comforting someone.

When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say.4.

4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反饋）.

Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 5.

A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.

B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.

C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.

D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.

E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.

F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.

G. That’s a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.
