“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That’s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins多種維生素make you healthier?

“We believe that the case is closed - supplementing(補充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not ‘waste’ their money on multivitamins. “The ‘stop wasting your money’ means that perhaps you’re spending money on things that won’t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”

The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(認(rèn)知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation’s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰劑)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.

One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vitamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.

1.This text is likely to be selected from a book of .

A. medicine B. education C. food D. business

2.Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller’s opinion according to the passage?

A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.

B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.

C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.

D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.

3.What can be inferred from the text?

A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.

B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.

C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.

D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.

4.The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to___________. .

A. persuade B. describe C. inform D. instruct

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余選項。

A. Travel as often as possible

B. Provide great value to the world

C. Work hard and face great challenges

D. Make the very best of every situation

E. Spend time with friends who improve you

F. Work on something every day that moves you

Everyone hopes to live a long life. But how can you make your long life happy and meaningful? You can read on to find answers.

1.Go traveling wherever you want and go to see one part of the world you’ve never seen before. You will not regret it. Traveling has less to do with seeing things, as it does with experiencing them. It has less to do with discovering something, as it does with discovering yourself. You run into all the good things and bad things about yourself on a daily basis if you travel to new places, and you are provided with the opportunity to grow far beyond your years.

2.You can go through life and make new friends anytime, but no one can take the place of those persons who truly improve you. They are the most important people you will ever meet because they tear down the invisible walls you have built in your mind. In other words, they come into your life and help you develop your potential that you would never have been aware of without them.

3.The road to greatness is far from easy. You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are getting weaker from struggle, you are in fact growing stronger than you ever have been before. The more difficulties you meet and solve on your lifelong journey, the more meaningful your life story will be.

4.One of the great secrets of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is doing the best you can with what it done to you. It’s all about how you choose to respond to different situations. This simple choice makes a world of difference. If you find your situations tolerable, by all means tolerate them; if you find them intolerable, break through them. Eventually you are free because you alone are responsible for your thoughts and how you use them to improve your growth.

5.The best way to get ahead in this world is not to complete with others, but to serve them. If you want to get a promotion at work, be good to your boss. If you want to build a successful business, be of service to your potential customers. Provide unmistakable value. Value is what makes relationships, businesses, and personal efforts grow. At any age, in any situation, for every possible life path, there is value you can provide. Success and happiness will come when you choose to work for the world.

Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It's not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it's more importantly about being honest with yourself.

Living your life honestly means that you've decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in 'dark corners'. When you're dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.

Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life's problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.

You'll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that's very true. If you don't live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you'll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it's therefore unavoidable that one day you'11 be on the receiving end of someone's dishonest actions or words.

There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can't go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn't going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it's often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you don't know why John can't go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn't telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul's feelings on something that won't, after all, have strong influence on Paul's future.

1.If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to______.

A. follow your destination

B. be true to yourself

C. plan your personal development

D. accept honest people as ends

2.The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_____.

A. suffer from dishonesty

B. become very attractive

C. influence honest people

D. have attractive friends

3.The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that______.

A. we should always tell the truth

B. John is not a trustworthy person

C. telling lies causes pain on someone else

D. sometimes we can't be completely honest

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. We should be economical with the truth.

B. People can gain from dishonesty.

C. Honesty helps you develop.

D. Trust produces confidence.
