| CHICAGO(Reuters)-Smoking not only can wrinkle the face and turn it yellow-it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday. The study,published in the Archives of Dermatology,shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body-even skin protected from the sun. "We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun,and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total. years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan,who led the study,said in a statement. "In participants older than 65 years,smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years. "Helfrich's team added in their report. The researchers tested 82 people,smokers and nonsmokers,taking pictures of the inner right atms. They ranged,in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was. When skin is exposed to sunlight,notably the face,it becomes coarse(粗糙的). Wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint,Helfrich's team wrote. Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking conduces to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles,the study said,but tittle has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light. The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke,among other things,causes blood vessels(血管)beneath the skin to constrict (紧缩),reducing blood supply to the skin. Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both die skin and the internal organs. |

| 2. What does the underlined phrase"conduces to"in Paragraph 7 mean? |

| 3. How wrinkled a person's skin is doesn't relate to . |

| 4. From the passage smoking results,in skin aging mainly because . |
| A. it will lower blood supply to skin B. it can make you feel tired C. it can make skin come off D. it can make blood run faster |
| 5. The main purpose of the passage is to . |
| A. inform people about the result of the study B. advise people how to protect skin C. warn people not to smoke again D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging |

| The day my boyfriend fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day,just like the bottom hadn't fallen out of my world when he freefell off the roof. His body. when I found it,was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk. I dropped to my knees,crawled through the living room. and back upstairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn't have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone's walk. Before Jon's death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy?How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snow fall? Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wash't easy. Friends cooked for me and 1 cried because I eouldn't even help them set the table. "I'm not usually this lazy," I wept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said,"Mary,cooking for you is not a chore. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you. " Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me,"You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do. " I am not the person I once wfls,but in many ways I have changed for the better. The fabric of my life is now woven with gratitude and humility. I have been surprised to. learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one's worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength in surrender. |

| 阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题.(请注意问题后的词数要求) [1]Although the beginning of thc school year may be an exciting time for many students, others may be anxious about entering a new classroom. Fortunately,there are several steps parerlt can take to help ease their children's anxiety about the upcoming school year: [2]Communicate to your child that you care. Children who know their parents care about their experiences at school are more likely to seek guidance from their parents about challenging situations they encounter at the beginning of school and throughout the year. [3] Try not to overreact. Transirions may be difficult,and it is important to reassure children that the first few days of the school year are often challenging but their new class room will soon become familiar. [4] Be calm and positive. Children are often able to detect their parents' emotions,so it is helpful to model calmness and positivity. [5] Work with your child to develop coping strategies. Providing your child with a few strategies for managing tricky situations [e. g. what to do if called a mean name by a peer(同龄人)] may help them deal with the challenges. However,if problems petsist,it is important to communicate with school personnel. [6] . Although it is not always possible,volunteering at your child's school allows you to observe the environment firsthand and to meet school personnel. Your involvement in school also shows children how family and school are connected. [7]Helping your child experience a positive start to the school year is important as the transition back to school affects children's attitudes,confidence,and academic and social performance. If your child continues to be anxious about school or faces major obstacles,consider contacting your child's school. Teachers and school counselors can offer additional support to your child as he or she transitions to life in a new classroom. 1. What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 8 words) 2. Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one? Parents should first set an example by remaining calm and positive because children can sense their parents' emotions. 3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 6 with proper words. (no more than 8 words) 4. What strategy would you take if called a mean name by a peer?(no more than 12 words) 5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese. |
