But be careful of what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for our health. There are plenty of energy drinks on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.31. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that _.

But the staff sees a lot of parents, too. “Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram（图表）.”says Mildred Foreman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. ” September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules. October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “Its the holiday.” Ms Foreman says, “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Years Day.” Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the years busiest month. Thats when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June. 36.

(C)MSG(monosodium glutamate) is a food additive(食品添加剂),which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909. MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳).It was also reported that MSG excited a persons brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders(神经紊乱).In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didnt want to eat the food including MSG. Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food. To protect peoples health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.39. MSG is often used in _.

A. you must eat the food in a hidden way B. the food label must be hidden C.MSG is probably added to the food D. you must report the food to your parents(D)Whats going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.Digital moneyWe used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now its hard to live without them. Its reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic(仿生的) eyeIts no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight backby wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away.Selfdriving carsUnlike a human driver, a selfdriving car wont get distracted(分钟) by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car driver itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accpted.42What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B.
