Supporters of the socalled Stone Age diet argue that farming practices introduced about 10,000 years ago are harmful to human health, and that we shouldn
2、t eat grains or food made from milk, such as butter and cheese. Instead, they say, we should only eat plenty of lean meat (瘦肉) and fish, with fruit and raw vegetables on the side.The idea, also called the caveman, or huntergatherer diet, has been around for decades and was discussed at a meeting of
3、the British Society for Allergy, Environmental and Nutritional Medicine.According to Lauren Cordain, a nutritionist at Colorado State University who presented the idea to the meeting, those following the meatcentered menu “lose weight and get healthy by eating the food you were designed to eat”. He
4、says there is increasing evidence that a caveman diet can prevent and treat many common western diseases. Studies of islanders in Papua New Guinea who still live a huntergatherer lifestyle show they rarely suffer from heart disease.But other nutritionists argue that cutting out whole food groups suc
5、h as grains is just not a good idea.“I would recommend anybody to eat lean meat and raw vegetables，” says Toni Steer of the MRC human nutrition research unit at Cambridge. “But what youre asking people to do is cut out a food group which is good for your health.”Archaeologists say its not even clear
6、 exactly how much of the various foods people actually ate during the Stone Age.“There was no one Stone Age diet; diets of the past varied greatly，” says John Gowlett, an archaeologist at the University of Liverpool who also attended the conference. Prehistoric people in Africa probably ate less mea
7、t than many people think, he says, while those in the northern, icy areas were forced to eat only whatever animals they could catch.“Im not convinced that we know what Stone Age man ate，” agrees Andrew Millard, who researches ancient health and diet at Durham University. “The evidence we have only s
8、uggests the meat component of the diet. We get bones from animals they have eaten but we dont get the remains of any vegetables they have eaten because they rot (腐烂) away.”1To improve your health, Cordain suggests _.Alosing weight firstBeating less meat and fishCgoing on the Stone Age dietDeating mo

10、d convincingDagrees with his research resultsBThe effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as its harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.Accordi
11、ng to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to
12、Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actuall
13、y increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific c
14、ommunity reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school
15、student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”4What is the peoples attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?ADisapproving.BT

18、am members hoped to be the first cavers to reach a depth of 2,000 meters, brought five tons of equipment and other necessities with them, and established camps at key locations along the route. They worked for up to 20 hours each day.In the third week, progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump
19、a cave passage filled with water that gives cavers few options. There are basically three techniques available: dive through it, empty it, or go around it. Gennadiy Samokhin dove to the bottom but was disappointed. “No chance to get through，” he said. Searching for a way around the sump, Garcia Dils
20、 risked entering a waterfall of near freezing water and discovered that his dry suit had holes in it. “The water was so cold I lost the feeling in my fingers，” he said later. He, too, was unsuccessful.Finally, two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to t
21、he Dream. The team was exhilarated. The passage led to yet another sump at 1,840 meters. After a short test dive, Samokhin emerged, smiling. There was a promising passage, he reported. But it would have to wait. After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and wou
22、ld have to return to the surface.Four weeks later, a team of nine Ukrainian cavers led by Yuri Kasjan went back to Krubera. Following the path opened by the previous team, they reached the sump at 1,840 meters relatively quickly. After much searching, a pit (坑), later named the Millennium Pit, was d
23、iscovered that allowed them to pass the 2,000 meter depth. More pits and passages led them to 2,080 meters, a spot they named Game Over. But the caving game is never over. Deeper caves will probably continue to be discovered and call out to be explored.8Why did the team return to the surface after n

27、lassical music tradition. It uses music, words, and actions to bring a dramatic story to life. Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe.

28、roduced to opera through modern recording technology. Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio, on TV, and in the cinema.However, in recent years, opera has been facing serious challenges. One current challenge to opera is economics. The shortage of money raises the broader
29、 question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists. Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multimilliondollar contracts given to sports athletes. But what about opera singers? Somehow, people have the idea that artists can be creativ
30、e only if they suffer in poverty, but this is unrealistic. If artists, including opera singers, lack the support they need, valuable talent is wasted.Not only the shortage of money, but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships. Principal singers are generally paid perfor
31、mance fees once they complete a show. They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal(排练) before a show starts.Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment. Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of ho
32、w they look as how they sound. These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful. Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low. Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audie
