27、ow it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries as much as 170 liters per p
28、erson per year. But the impact of this study isnt limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statemen
29、t.The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of
30、them had.Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didnt drink sweetened drinks. And all that
31、 extra sugar isnt the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence
32、 suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”But theres a bright side for those who cant live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didnt drink any coffee, according to the study
33、. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.41. What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?A. Sugary sodas arent good for the physical health of old people
34、.B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.42. What do we know about the process of the study?A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.B. The oldest partic
35、ipants were below 80 when the study was over.C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.43. We infer that the underlined word “aspartame” in Paragraph 4 refers to something that _.A. can reduce the harm of
36、sweetened drinksB. is used to reduce the risk of depressionC. is mainly used to make fruit punchD. is used to make something .sweet44. It is implied in the passage that _.A. more research is needed to confirm the new findingsB. the new findings arent consistent with any previous findingsC. cutting o
37、nes sodas intake will surely reduce ones depressionD. the new findings wont have an impact on peoples drinking habits45. What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?A. Sodas.B: Unsweetened coffee.C. Sugary coffee.D. Fruit punch.CGrowing up, I remember my father as a silent, serio
38、us man not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, 1 would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.Today. at twenty-seven, I h
39、ave come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal trainin
40、g had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad. analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I cant think like that. I am a simple man.”Dad is a brilliant scientist who
41、can deconstruct (解构) the building blocks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. Its not in his nature to understand human desires.And so, there it was it was no ones
42、 fault that my father held no interest in human lives while 1 placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligen
43、t man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.I now
44、 know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And Ive come to see my past clearly.46.

48、nt ScientistDWAS the London Olympics a success? Many people hold different opinions. However one thing is certain, London could win a gold medal for hosting the “greenest” Games ever, BBC News reported.Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through
49、construction, waste. and transport. But things had to be different in London because seven years ago it bid for the Olympics through the concept of “a One Planet Olympics”.What is most impressive is that London used the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas 2
50、million tons of contaminated (被污染的) soil were removed and 200 old factory buildings, were torn down, according to . But thats not all . 99 percent of the debris (废瓦砾) were reused to build the Olympic Park. For example, part of the Olympic Stadiums roof is made from 2,500 tons of steel tubes recycled
51、 from old gas pipelines.As well as using recycled materials, all venues were built with green building techniques. The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built, which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed. Also, the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electric
52、ity use by 40 percent, according to .The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise. Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater. In this way. about 30-40 percent less water was used in total. Waste food packages were either re
53、cycled or processed and turned into renewable energy.As one of the best connected places in Europe, London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport. For example, it had trains deliver half of the building materials, instead of cars, which greatly reduced carbon emission
54、s.The clean anti-doping (反兴奋剂) result also added to the greenness of the Games. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) said that the devices used this time were the most accurate and advanced. Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing, which is why the IOC Presid
55、ent, Jacques Rogge, has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games.51.

57、lympics ever held.B. London has possessed the most advanced techniques to deal with waste.C. Public transport is made good use of in London durIng the Olympic games.D. The anti-doping result in the London Olympics turned out to be dissatisfactory.54. Which of the following best shows the structure o
