10、.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. Gene
11、ticist 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, I took
12、 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 for v
13、itamin 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 keep b
14、ones 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 reasonab
15、le, 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 said.4.
16、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 now?A.
17、 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. Which
18、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.

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, and hi
20、s 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 the sa

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 contac
22、t 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 pieces c
23、alled 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 animals who
24、 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 fish
