A
Honesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box-a box where you pay for something by putting money in it-but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.
Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: “We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It’s part of our evolutionary psychological make-up-because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”
So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It’s because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says: “There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.
Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile (简介) to send you a message without knowing who it’s from. The app now has 300 million users which perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be-but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy?
1、What does an honesty box require people to do?
A．Get the change out of it freely. B．Put the correct amount of money in it.
C．Donate the pocket money to others. D．Pay a larger amount of money.
2、According to Philip Graves, being dishonest .
A．is a disadvantage B．should be advocated
C．is part of our evolution D．helps people survive, better
3、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The reason for being honest B．The benefit of being dishonest
C．The outcome of selfishness D．The importance of group work
4、What can we infer from the text?
A．Honesty is always the best policy.
B．The author is in favor of dishonesty.
C．The market of the new app is promising.
D．Being honest with words is sometimes improper.

B
Vitamin D is essential for bone-building,cognitive function,joint health,immune function,blood sugar control, positive mood and more.It can help prevent many diseases.Some studies suggest that the lower your vitamin D level is,the higher your risk of death from any cause will be.However,it's not a great idea to just grab a supplement（补充物）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it.
Since many of us are deficient in vitamin D,also known as the "sunshine vitamin”,doctors will often give us a prescription（处方）for high levels of vitamin D supplements,with doses ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 IU (International Units) per day,up to 50,000 IU per week,and sometimes even more.But like all good things,it's possible to get too much of it."Very big doses of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium in the blood,which leads to nausea,vomiting,poor appetite,weakness,and weight loss,"says Madeline Basler of Real You Nutrition.Here's the bigger issue: any extra intake of,vitamin D can get stored in the body."A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems,"says Marra Francis,Medical Director at Everly Well,"leading to problems such as kidney stones."
The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age.The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for infant,children,and adults up to 70 years old. Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU,since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age.People who are obese may also need more vitamin D because the fat cells take it up,making it less available for use by the body.In winter when you're getting less sun exposure,some experts say it's safe to take daily doses of around 1,000 to 2,000 IU without any risk of complications（并发症）.
Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods—including fatty fish beef liver,cheese,egg yolks and mushrooms,plus fortified foods like milk,orange juice,and cereal—the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they’ll put you over the daily does.
1、What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A．We can actually reduce the risk of death.
B．People don't really know vitamin D well.
C．Vitamin D supplements are necessary for everyone.
D．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance.
2、The underlined part "are deficient in" in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A．having an inadequate amount of B．paying much attention to
C．being interested in D．being concerned about
3、How much vitamin D should a healthy 60-year-old lady take daily in summer?
A．About 800 IU. B．About 600 IU.
C．No less than 1,000 IU. D．No less than 5,000 IU.
4、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．What other ways people can take to get vitamin D．
B．What foods we should eat every day to balance our diets.
C．Whether daily foods would overdose people with vitamin
D．D．Whether vitamin D can be supplemented by the foods we eat.
