    In November 2015 Lynsay Hughes and her husband Andrew first noticed their two-year-old Evie was out of sorts— Evie refused food and had no energy. Evie spent five days to the hospital before eventually being given the result: a chronic kidney infection(慢性肾脏感染). "Her lips went bluer and bluer. We knew something wasn't right.

  If your day doesn't really start until you've drunk a cup of coffee, you may unknowingly be reducing your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A new report by The Institute for Scientific Information on coffee has revealed that drinking coffee can help to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders(神经退行性疾病).
    In the study, the researchers, led by Dr. Elisabeth Rothenberg, analysed previous studies looking into the role of food components in reducing the risk of disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Their analysis suggests that a higher intake of coffee could not only help to reduce the risk of developing these diseases, but also to relieve symptoms. In the report, Dr. Rothenberg said, "Research suggests that a higher intake of coffee and caffeine, up to 5 cups of coffee per day, could act as preventative on risk of developing neurodegenerative conditions including Parkinson's Disease."
    While the reason for this link remains unknown, the researchers hope the findings will encourage further studies into coffee. Dr. Rothenberg added, "Neurodegenerative conditions such as AD and PD remarkably change life conditions by continuously hurting functions, with huge effects on independence and well-being."
    Currently no cure is available, and therefore ways to reduce the risk of developing these conditions or relieve symptoms is splendid. At present research has shown promising results concerning the influences of life-style factors including diet. There are also some interesting studies regarding coffee consumption suggesting that caffeine is potentially beneficial in preventing AD and PD.
    However, Dr. Rothenberg said, "Still it is too early to draw firm conclusions regarding causal relationship between diets and the risk of developing AD and PD. Further research is required."
8. What is the new finding?
A. Drinking coffee can cure neurodegenerative disorders.
B. Drinking more coffee will have more benefits.
C. Coffee may lead to developing neurodegenerative diseases.
D. Drinking coffee may reduce your developing AD or PD.
9.What can we know about the research from Paragraph 2?
A. Neurodegenerative disorders only include AD and PD.
B. Researchers are seeking effective parts of diets for disorders.
C.A higher intake of coffee could relieve disorder symptoms.
D. Up to 5 cups of coffee per day can stop developing diseases.
10.What can be inferred according to the last sentence?
A. Dr. Rothenberg is a cautious scientist. B. The new finding needs further research.
C. Diets and diseases have a close relationship. D. Drawing conclusions too early is not good.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Health. B. Cooking. C. Education. D. Lifestyle.
D
Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
"I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin," said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. "Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power," he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
"People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast," said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. "We're seeing it in all parts of the country."
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an "important needs" language and provides professional development programs for teachers. "Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness," Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
12. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China.
D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.
13. The underlined word "edge" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".
A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit
C. a sharp tone of voice D.an exciting quality
14.Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government's policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.
15. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
C. The influence of China's growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Did you take part in a camp this summer？16 To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.
Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals--opportunity, challenge and growth.
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. 17 For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may even have the opportunity to meet famous journalists there.
18 You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书) to become a real lifeguard.
This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp--personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller, stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know you could do before. 19___________
So in the future, when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?
20 These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at a summer camp.
A. Challenge means you are given a task.
B. But what about friendship, fun and joy?
C. It also means becoming more confident about yourself.
D. Some camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability.
E. Of course, summer camps aren't all about adventure or study.
F. There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same.
G. It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity.
