• 1．My parents influenced us with the concepts of family，faith and patriotism when I was young．Even though we struggled to make ends meet，they stressed how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities．
     I got my first real job when I was ten．My dad，Benjamin，injured his back working in a cardboard - box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist．He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr．Ben's Coiffure．
     The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week，which meant getting up at 3 a．m．．To pick up trash，Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower．Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand．It took two to three hours to clean the lot．I'd sleep in the car on the way home．I did this for two years，but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime，I acquired discipline and a strong work morality，and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life's competing interests---in my case，school，homework and a job．This really helped during my senior year of high school，when I worked 40 hours a week flipping hamburgers，at a fast - food joint while taking a full load of college - prep courses． The hard work paid off．I attended the U．S．Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degree in law and business from Harvard．Later，I joined a big Los Agnates law firm and was elected to the California state assembly．In these jobs and in everything else I've done，I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot．The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families，that is something we should honor．

"You feel like you're the only one that's dealing with the terrible situation.Even.jye.ai you know it's also happening to other people，there's a feeling of solitude，" Fischer said."And when I was able to share my sadness，it allowed other people to break down that barrier of feeling alone and be able to share their loved ones."
     "If I was able to help one person or one person shared his/her loved one's name，that would have been enough for me，he said.But I was blown away.…by not just the number of people who shared，but the depth of stories and love that they were sharing."Fischer will keep taking strangers' loved ones.jye.ai to.jye.ai，one waive at a time：Now，Fischer's surfboards are covered with countless names.

• 3．    Taking vitamin pills in high doses（剂量） can significantly increase the risk of cataracts（白内障），a study has shown.
      Scientists found that consuming large amounts of vitamin C made individuals 20 percent more likely to develop the condition，which is a leading cause of blindness.And regularly taking high-dose vitamin E tablets increased the chance of cataracts forming by 60 percent.The dangers are even greater for the elderly，with those over 65 nearly doubling their chances of damaging their vision if they took these vitamins every day.
      Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm monitored 31，000 volunteers aged between 45 and 79.Nearly 3，000 of them went on to need treatment for their eyes.The Swedish team discovered a strong link between those who developed cataracts and those who took high doses of vitamins C and E.
      It was originally thought that the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants（脱氧化剂）.It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation（氧化），which destroys cells in much the same way as rust（锈） rots a car.However，it it now believed that，in large quantities，vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.
      The human body does not make or store vitamin C，and gets its supply from fruit and vegetables.It only needs 40 mg a day to keep cells healthy and promote healing.Vitamin E helps maintain the structure of cells and is found in food items such as nuts and seeds.A man needs just 4 mg a day and a woman should have 3 mg.But tablets containing up to a hundred times this amount are also available in UK health food shops.Researchers stressed that the dangers will only be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amounts.These were defined as 1，000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of vitamin E a day.
      However，Professor Yit Yang，from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in Australia，said，"It is not possible to establish from this study that vitamin C caused cataracts，as there may be other factors（因素） that were not accounted for."
  
  （1）What do we know about the research from the text？

  
  A．The research was conducted in Australia.
  B．The volunteers covered the full range of ages.
  C．Almost 10 percent of the volunteers had something wrong with their eyes.
  D．The research found vitamin C is more likely to cause cataracts than vitamin E.
  （2）What did the scientists think of the vitamins originally？

  
  A．They could lead to blindness.
  B．They could cause cataracts.
  C．They could increase oxidation.
  D．They could prevent cataracts.
  （3）What might be the best title for the text？

  
  A．The Side Effects of Vitamins C and E
  B．The Fight Between Vitamins and Oxidation
  C．Does a High Vitamin Intake Equal Cataracts？
  D．Why Are High Doses of Vitamins Bad for Health？
  （4）What is the author's purpose in writing this text？

  
  A．To warn people not to take too many vitamins.
  B．To tell people about a new medical discovery.
  C．To reveal the risks of antioxidants and the like.
  D．To explain the relationship between vitamins and blindness.

• 5．If you're determined to rise with the sun-or simply catch more of the morning-know that transitioning to a new schedule requires time and effort.Sleep experts suggest these strategies：
     1.Seek out as much natural light as possible
     （1）

  Martin stresses.That's because light suppresses melatonin，a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. "The sun is the driver of our internal clock，" she says."I want the light coming in and helping them wake up."
     （2）

  
     For some people-like those who need to drive long distances-those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren't safe.In that case，Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. "What I'll suggest to people is to shift half an hour，wait a few days，shift another half an hour，wait a few days，and then shift another half an hour，"she says."That's a little easier for people to tolerate.
     3.Be consistent—even on weekends.
     Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job.Decide what time you're going to wake up every day，and stick to it，without exception. "If someone says， 'I want to be more of a morning person during the week，but I want to sleep in on the weekends，' （3）

  "Gehrman says.
     4.Wind down in the evenings.
     A consistent bedtime isn't as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day，Gehrman says， （4）

  .Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night- so you'll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.
     At last，if you want to ensure you fall asleep quickly， （5）

  .A 300-microgram dose about three to four hours before you plan to go to bed will help you start to feel sleepy，she says.
  

  A.Ease in gradually. B.Do not give up easily. C.you should think twice. D.but it's still important to make sure you're getting enough sleep. E.that's not going to work. F.The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. G.Blair suggests trying small amounts of melatonin.
