10、. $120.B. $114.C. $105.D. $99BOne of Britain s most outstanding scientists says the growth in the use of electronic tablets and smart phones is causing people to spend so much time indoors that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally
11、. Geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements；I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasnt going to shine,
12、I took an extra one,” he said. Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. The Scots are the whitest people in the world because their entire body systems are crying out
13、 for vitamin D, he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps
14、keep bones strong. And Jones said the fact that rickets (佝偻病) was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm. Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were re
15、asonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels (血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can, he sa
16、id.4. How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the text?A. They are more sensitive to sunlightB. They take more vitamin D supplements.C. They get less vitamin D than before.D. They become addicted to electronic games.5. Whats Jones attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements
17、now?A. Skeptical.B. Cautious.C. Worried.D. Supportive.6. Why are the Scots the whitest people in the world?A. Because they are in great need of sunlight.B. Because their blood pressure is very low.C. Because they enjoy a short period of sunshine.D. Because they are easy to get multiple sclerosis.7.
18、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Get out and gain more Vitamin DB. Keep away from tablets and phonesC. Pay attention to the importance of sunlightD. Take vitamin D supplements to keep healthyCIf you wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜), you might not know the best way to deal with
19、old ones. Washing them down the sink or flushing them down the toilet is not the way to go. Yet one in five people who wear contact lenses do just that. However, the plastic in their lenses can linger (存留), polluting both water and land.Rolf Halden, an engineer at Arizona State University in Tempe,
20、and his team created an online survey. More than 400 contact lens wearers took part. The questions asked how many got rid of their lenses inappropriately. About 20 percent one in five sent their used contact lenses down sink drain or toilet. Assuming all contact lens wearers in the U. S. do that at
21、the same rate, the researchers then calculated how much plastic would be flushed away each year. Their estimate: 6 to 10 metric tons! Thats about the weight of two to three adult African forest elephants. Contact lenses are a tiny part of the worlds plastic pollution. But the unique plastic used in
22、contact lenses could make them a big concern. To figure it out, researchers exposed contact lenses to the microbes (微生物) used to clean wastewater in water-treatment plants. These microbes made the plastics begin to fall apart, but they werent fully broken down. Instead, they created a lot of tiny pi
23、eces called microplastics. Halden worries that these small plastic bits will cause trouble in the food chain. In water, the plastics from contact lenses sink. Animals could view these tiny bits as food. But because the plastic wont provide them with nutrition, this could threaten the health of anima
24、ls who dined on it.And thats already happening. Many studies have shown that corals, larval fish and shellfish are mistaking microplastics for food. Over time, they risk accumulating even higher levels of plastic in their bodies. Also the pollution has already shown up in bottled water, sea salt and

A doctor told me at a young age that I would likely never graduate from high school due to my severe hearing loss and my extremely slow speech development.

32、 He encouraged me to consider Kellogg as he knew the company was committed to diversity and inclusion（包容）. I nervously started my new career, because my vision loss had progressed significantly in the past few years. I am thankful to have a mentor that encouraged me and I am thankful I found the cou
33、rage to apply for a position with Kellogg. While Kellogg fosters a supportive, encouraging environment, it still takes courage for me to require what I need to make sure I am successful in my career. I need courage to speak up and ask for suitable accommodations to do my job. I also have to ask for
34、assistance navigating through unfamiliar areas. I have found that everyone at Kellogg is always more than willing to take my requests into account. Even though I face daily challenges, I have so much to be grateful for. We often face difficulties we cannot control, but we can be courageous in order
