It was finally reintroduced at the 19
10、24 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932. Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame should be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay (火炬接力). The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flam
11、e is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror.

After college, Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. While climbing the corporate ladder, Patte

But after it was finally published in 1976, “then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel.” The Edgar Award, which is named after Edgar Alan Poe, honors the best writ

26、d Fiction C While many people arent getting enough calcium, new research cautions that some people may have the opposite problem: They could be getting too much. Americans spend more than 1 billion a year on calcium supplements in hopes of delaying osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease that cripple
27、s many elderly women and some men. Yet recent studies link calcium supplements to a higher risk of heart attacks. Last month, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft recommendation against taking calcium and vitamin D, saying there wasnt enough evidence of benefit to justify the risk.
28、 For generations of Americans who grew up encouraged to drink milk to maintain strong bones, the reports raised troubling questions: Is calcium not so important after all? Are the supplements unsafe? And how much is too much? “Its gotten very confusing but it doesnt need to be,” says Ethel Siris, di
29、rector of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center in New York. How much calcium people need varies by age and gender. “Adults generally need 1,000 mg daily, rising to 1,200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70, according to guidelines issued in 2010. Children need 1,300 mg daily during the peak growing
30、 years of 9 to 18.” People also need sufficient levels of vitamin D to absorb the calcium. The IOM recommends 600 international units a day for most adults, and 800 daily after age 70, although many physicians recommend more. It is difficult to take in that much vitamin D from food sources, so exper
31、ts say many people should take vitamin D in supplement form. Getting adequate calcium from food is easier. For example, 8 ounces of milk or 6 ounces of yogurt has 300 mg of calcium, and one cup of spinach has 270 mg. But studies linking calcium supplements to heart attack have made experts more caut
32、ious of excess calcium than before. A study of 24,000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month, found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements. Exactly how calcium supplements might c
33、ontribute to heart attacks baffles cardiologists. “Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification in your arteries,” says Nieca Goldberg, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center. Still, she says she now urges patients get their recommended calcium from food than from s
34、upplements to avoid possible problems. Osteoporosis experts also urge patients not to take more than the recommended amount of calcium. “People should definitely stop taking two big calcium supplements a day,” says Dr. Dawson-Hughes. Even if the risks remain unclear, taking more than the body can ab
35、sorb doesnt benefit bones, “so its not worth any risk.” She adds. (28)According to the new studies, taking much calcium might _.A.delay aging B.build muscles. C.cause heart problems D.cure bone diseases (29)What is Ethel Siris opinion on taking calcium supplements?A.Taking calcium supplements is any

B.Puzzle. C.Amaze. D.Frighten. (31)What can we learn from the passage?A.It is h

38、anet-friendly mindset or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. Earth-friendly? Not exactly. It turns out the wholehearted embrace of cotton bags may actually have created a new problem. An organic cotton tote (提包) needs to be used 20,000 times to mak
39、e up for its overall impact of production, according to a 2018 study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. That equates to daily use for 54 yearsfor just one bag. Cotton is water-intensive, and figuring out how to dispose of a tote in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as
40、simple as people think, according to Travis Wagner, an environmental science professor at the University of Maine. You cant, for example, just put a tote in a compost bin, and only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile depositories (仓库). Ev
41、en when a tote does make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; “theyre extremely difficult to break down chemically,” said Christopher Stanev, the co-founder of Evrnu, a Seattle-based textile recycling firm. Printed patterns have to b
42、e cut out of the cloth; Mr. Stanev estimates 10 to 15 percent of the cotton Evrnu receives is wasted this way. Thats not to say cotton is worse than plastic, or that the two should even be compared. While cotton can use pesticides (杀虫剂) and has dried up rivers from water consumption, lightweight pla

Buffy Reid, of the knitwear label & Daughter, halted production of her cotton bags in April this year. Aesop is converting the composition of its shopping bags to a 6040 blend of recycled
44、and organic cotton. Designer Ally Capellino recently swapped cotton for hemp (大麻), while Hindmarch introduced a new version of her original tote, this time made from recycled water bottles. In the end, the simplest solution may be the most obvious. “Not every product needs a bag,” Comey says. (32)Ac
45、cording to paragraph 2, what can we learn about cotton bags?A.It is easy to recycle cotton bags.B.Using cotton bags is environmentally-friendly.C.Producing cotton consumes a lot of water.D.Producing cotton bags does no harm to the environment.(33)What do we know about disposing of cotton bags?A.Disp
