There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides(殺蟲劑). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒), such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr. M.D., in a statement.

The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor’s written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic(創(chuàng)傷) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull(顱骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.

The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U. S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA’s new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.

【1】Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?

A.To raise safety standards of sports.

B.To protect athletes from concussions.

C.To set rules for health care evaluation.

D.To help players return to the game quickly.

【2】What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?

A.Avoid using the head.B.Leave the field forever.

C.Get treatment in time.D.Switch to another sport.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.What a concussion is.B.What causes damage to brain cells.

C.How the CDC works.D.How a concussion can be prevented.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

We often like new things—new clothes, new phones, new furniture. But when it comes to cities, older is often better. This is 【1】 (certain) true of Montreal, one of Canada’s oldest cities.

Begin your visit with Mount Royal, the 【2】 (high) point in the city. At various viewing 【3】 (point) you can see and photograph much of the city below. If your visit is in the fall, enjoy Montreal’s glorious autumn colors. The foliage (樹葉) on every tree will be bright red, orange, yellow and purple. But at any time of year, you will likely meet people 【4】 (speak)many languages from many backgrounds.

The road down from Mount Royal 【5】 (pass) through McGill University, one of Canada’s top schools. Below McGill is the Golden Square Mile, 【6】 is a great area for walking tour. If it is too hot 【7】 too cold outside, you can walk Montreal’s more than 32 kilometers of underground streets.

【8】 you may not want to miss is to wander in the Old Port of Montreal district, ride the huge Observation Wheel for wonderful views of the city and look for huge “Grand Chapiteau”, or circus tent 【9】 (see) Cirque du Soleil’s travelling shows. Each show carries with it 【10】 unique feeling. It’s a flavor of the historic city, Montreal.

There may be a slight chill(寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain’s handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.

A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain’s greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.

Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance(文藝復(fù)興) painter El Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24June to 5 October.

As is known to us, we can meet with various challenges in our life. Facing with challenges, how should we do? Last week, our class climbed Mount Tai, which was more than 1,500 meters above sea level. Lacking exercises, I thought that this activity was great challenge for me. I felt very exhausted half way that I wanted to give up. See this, my classmates and even some strangers encouraged me. In the end, I managed to reach on the top of the mountain. Therefore, don’t give up in the face of challenges. If you are determined enough, it is certainly that you can overcome it.

But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?

A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.

The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.

Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period.

The results showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.

According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited chance to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle… so we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.”

While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So, remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.

It became an official US holiday in 1915. It was the result of the love of one girl, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia.【2】 As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of the garden and filled it with white carnations (康乃馨), her mother’s favorite flower.

When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. 【3】 On the same Sunday in Philadelphia, a minister honored Mrs. Jarvis and all mothers with a special Mother’s Day service. Anna Jarvis began writing to the government, asking them to set aside a day to honor all mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.

【4】 Other children give their mothers gifts that they’ve made themselves or bought from stores. Adults give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. White carnations are placed on the graves of mothers who are no longer alive.

Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 40 countries, including Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Australia. 【5】 In France, Mother’s Day is the last Sunday in May. A cake in the shape of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.

A.So why is it celebrated on different dates?

B.But do you know the origin of Mother’s Day?

C.Anna’s mother provided great support for the family.

D.But not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day at the same time.
