The baby recovered from the dangerous state of coma gradually.We know that sugary sodas arent good for our bodies. Now it turn
26、s 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 person per
27、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 statement.The stud
28、y 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 them had.P
29、articipants 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 extra sug
30、ar 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 suggestin
31、g 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. “Our res
32、earch 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.60What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?A. Sugary sodas arent good for the physical health of old people.B. American
33、s have a special tooth for sweet foods.C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.D.

34、low 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.62It is implied in the passage that _.A. more research is needed to confirm the new findingsB. the new findings arent consistent wit
35、h any previous findingsC. cutting ones sodas intake will surely reduce ones depressionD. the new findings wont have an impact on peoples drinking habits63What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?A.Sodas. B.Unsweetened coffee.C.Sugary coffee. D.Fruit punch.CAsk someone what the
36、y have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the g
37、reenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are p
38、ackaged twice with plastic and cardboard. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling help
39、s, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging
40、customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wi
41、de range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
