“I started going to clubs when I was nineteen. My friends went and they told me that I’d love it. They were right.” –Lara
Lara is a twenty-one-year old student who loves dancing. “At the moment, my favorite kind of music is acid jazz. I’d love to go to a Fatboy Slim or Ken Ishii gig. They’re so cool,” says Lara. Fatboy Slim and Ken Ishii are not pop stars—they are famous DJs. Being a DJ these days means more than playing records at a nightclub. DJs like Fatboy Slim have also produced a lot of successful CDs of their own music.
Nightclubs have been popular since the seventies but today’s clubs are different. They don’t usually open until at least 11 pm, and people often stay until 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning. Some clubbers will keep on dancing until 12 o’clock in the morning.
Why has dance music become so popular? Some people believe that clubs give young people what the hippies found in the sixties. They have somewhere to meet people just like them. Many clubbers say that dance music helps them to escape from their problems. They feel they are part of a big happy family. But most people just love to dance.

Chocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence(證據(jù)) is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:
A happier heart
Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎癥).
Better blood pressure
If yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently
found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate
per day for two weeks their blood pressure drop quickly.
Muscle magic
Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(鍛煉). In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.
Better for your skin. German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister(滑潤的)and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.
Brain gains
It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain.
1.Which of the following is wrong?
A.Coca’s chemicals can prevent both cell damage and inflammation.
B.Chocolate may help you lower your blood pressure.
C.People early know chocolate is good for their health.
D.Chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving.

New rules for pubs and clubs, including a ban (禁令) on drinking games like the awful "dentist's chair", will be introduced in Britain this year to prevent the heavy drinking culture, which costs the country billions of pounds a year.
Other activities like "all you can drink for 10 pounds ", "women drink free" nights and speed drinking competitions will also be banned.
But, on the other hand, offers of cheap alcohol in supermarkets will not be affected, which is widely regarded as one of the main sources of Britain's problems with under-age and over-drinking.
Doctors and health experts argue that the government has failed to use its most effective weapon, the taxation(征稅) of minimum price controls on alcohol.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said that the government and the industry had a duty to act on heavy drinking." These bans have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out," he said.
“The dentist's chair”, where drinks are poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne at Euro '96. That game and others that promote large consumption will be banned from April and publicans (酒店老板) will have to ensure free tap water is made available to the drinkers.
The government says over-drinking costs Britain up to 12 billion pounds a year and has announced that any pubs that go against the new mandatory code (強制性規(guī)定) will face severe punishment. For instance, publicans and vendors (小販) could lose their licenses, be fined up to 20,000 pounds ($32,750) or face six months in prison.
1.New rules for pubs and clubs will be introduced in Britain to ban heavy drinking because ________.
A.people drink too much without paying taxes
B.drinking games are infamous
C.drinking competitions are very crazy
D.drinking in the country costs too much
2.Some people believe when the tough new rules come into effect, ________.
A.supermarkets will stop selling alcohol in low prices
B.“women drink free” nights will not be closed
C.over-drinking will still not be stopped
D.under-age people will not continue drinking
3.What is probably the most effective way to control alcohol?
A.bans B.education C.force D.taxation
4.According to the passage, “the dentist’s chair” is ________.
A.a(chǎn) chair for the patient whose teeth should be treated
B.a(chǎn) drinking game made famous by the celebrations of footballers
C.a(chǎn) way to advertise different types of alcohol
D.to be banned in October this year
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

Does a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption, say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily helps to prevent coronary heart disease.Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in support of that theory.More important, the work provided the first solid indication of how alcohol works to protect the heart.
In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvad Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attack with those of healthy people of the same age and sex.The scientists found that people who sip one to three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are.The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high density lipoproteins (脂蛋白), the so called good cholesterol (膽固醇), which is known to prevent heart disease.
As evidence has mounted (增長), some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases.But most physicians are not ready to recommend a regular happy hour for everyone.The risks of teetotal ling (絕對戒酒) are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles---not to mention violent behavior and traffic accident.Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer.Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose (吸收劑量) of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighborhood bar or liquor store.
60.The report mentioned in the first paragraph indicates________.
A.the way in which alcohol can help the heart.
B.that a couple of cocktails daily can help stop heart problems
C.why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health
D.that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled
61.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had___________.
A.larger amounts of good cholesterol B.smaller amounts of good cholesterol
C.higher blood pressure D.lower blood pressure
62.According to the passage, moderate drinking_______.
A.is recommended by most doctors for heart patients
B.should be allowed on prescription
C.is still not medically advisable
D.is not related to liver problems
63.The main theme of this passage is___________.
A.the change in recent drinking habits
B.the connection between cancer and alcohol
C.whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers
D.whether alcohol may be good for one’s health
