Study Confirms Red Meat Link with Bowel(结肠)Cancer
People who eat more than 160 grams of red or processed meat a day are 35 percent more likely to develop bowel cancer than those who eat less______(51)20 grams a day, according to one of the biggest nutrition investigations ever carried out.
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition followed 478,040 men and women______(52)35 to 70 from 10 European countries.
All subjects were free of cancer at enrollment between 1992 and 1998, but ______(53)an average follow-up of almost 5 years 1,329 bowel cancers had been reported.
The subsequent analysis, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, confirms the long-held suspicion______(54)high intakes(纳入量)of red meat are associated with increased bowel______(55)risk.
After taking into consideration factors like age, sex, height, weight, energy intake, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, the investigators found that bowel cancer was______(56)with intake of red and processed meat but not chicken.
Risk of bowel cancer dropped with increasing intake of fish. Eating more than 80 grams a day of fish was associated______(57)a 31 percent reduction in risk compared with eating less than 10 grams a______(58).
Subjects with high red meat and low fish intake were at 63 percent higher risk of bowel cancer compared with subjects with low red meat and high fish______(59). In addition, the risk of developing the disease was increased for______(60)people who ate a low fibre diet.
Sheila Bingham, study investigator at the UK's Medical Research Council nutrition unit, said: "People have suspected for some time that high levels of red and processed meat______(61)risk of bowel cancer, but this is one of the largest studies worldwide and the first from Europe of this type to show a______(62)relationship."
She added in a statement: "The overall picture is very consistent for red and processed meat and fibre across all the______(63)populations studied."
Study coordinator, Elio Riboli, of the World Health Organization International Agency for Research into Cancer, said: "Other risk factors for______(64)cancer include obesity(肥胖)and lack of physical activity. Smoking and excess alcohol may also play a ______(65). These factors were all taken into account in the analysis."

High Stress May Damage Memory
According to a report issued in May 1998,elderly people who have consistently high b1ood levels of cortisol don’t score as well on memory tests as their peels with lower levels of the stress hormone.What’s more. high 1evels of cortisol are also associated with shrinking 0f the hippocampus,a region of the brain that plays a key role in learning and memory.The 6ndings suggest that even cortisol levels in the normal,“healthy” range can actually accelerate brain aging.
The study results “now provide substantial evidence that long—term exposure to adrenal stress hormones may promote hippocampal aging in normal elderly humans,”write Nada Porter and Philip Landfield of the University of Kentucky in Lexington in their editorial.Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress by the adrenal glands,which sit on top of the kidneys.
Over a 5 to 6一year period,Dr. Sonia Lupien and his colleagues measured 24一hour cortisol levels in 51 healthy volunteers,most of Whom were in their 70s.
Despite wide variation in cortisol levels.the participants could be divided into three Subgroups:those whose cortisol progressively increased over time and was currently high(increasing/high):those whose cortisol progressively increased over time and was currently moderate(increasing/moderate);and subjects whose cortisol decreased,but Was currently moderate(decreasing/moderate).
The researchers tested the volunteers’ memory on six people in the increasing/high category and five people in the decreasing/moderate group.The groups did not differ on tests of immediate memory,but the increasing/high cortisol group had other memory problems compared with those in the decreasing/moderate group.
The researchers also found that the total volume of the hippocampus in those in the increasing/high group was 14% lower than those in the decreasing/moderate group,although there were no differences in 0ther brain regions.
The results suggest that brain aging Can be accelerated by levels of adrenal hormones that are not generally regarded as pathological and that variation within this normal range is related to variation in the rate of brain aging.”write Porter and Landfield.“This further suggests that chronic stress may accelerate the worsening of hippocampus.”
第 26 题 The part of the brain important for a person’s learning and memory is.
A.the cortisol.
B.the adrenal glands.
C.the stress hormones
D.the hippocampus.
Women couldn’t become teachers easily at that time because__________ .

Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.
Now all this may be changing again. The microchip(芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical(文书的) work that secretaries did.
"Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work and then men will want to do it again. "
That was said by one of the executives(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.
Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.
Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they______.
A.were less efficient and less trained than men
B.were looked down upon by men
C.would have disturbed the other office workers
D.wore stockings and were not as serious as men
The moon is about 384 000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane can not fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers high above the earth. Then there is no air. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is' a rocket (火箭).
Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have already reached the moon. Some rockets without men in them have flown to other parts, much farther away from the earth than the moon in the universe. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place.
Scientists knew ______ about the moon a long time ago.
A.nothing
B.many things
C.everything
D.little
In the early fifties, only eight or nine out of a hundred young men changed their jobs within the first three years with the company. In the past few years, almost thirty-five percent of the college-graduated work force changed jobs within the same period. These people want to intensify their management training. Since most jobs take only a year to a year and a half to master, in order to continue learning, they have to make a job change. Even company presidents tend to be seen as mobile specialists, staying with one company an average of only five years.
Company presidents in the United States today tend to be young men who begin their careers with educational backgrounds in engineering science, or business management. They have worked for a few years as technical specialists and quickly moved into higher management positions. Most of them were making $ 30 000 per year by the time they reached thirty. On an average, these men have only twenty years working experience at management level when they become company presidents. On the way to the top, they have an average of eleven promotions and seven city transfers.
Friendships remain casual and are usually derived from business contracts. Families of these career men have little time to put down roots in and become part of a community.
In the past, a few men attained high positions through family and social connections; today, high positions go to men who are mobile, and have good educational, backgrounds.
According to the passage, an increasing number of future company presidents might be ______.
A.people who have spent a number of years with one company
B.young people who do not want to move often, but are steady and dependable
C.people who have spent a long time concerned with community affairs
D.young people who have good education and are willing to move around
