Not very long ago, the question would have seemed absurd. Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs(议员) are beginning to talk of 'a war on sugar', and even England‘s chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order to
protect the nation‘s health.
There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left,for Government was: what should we do about it?
Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others - largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry - say the entire debate has been skewed,(歪曲) by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.
More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions.
But to what extent is sugar - rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets - the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it?
Yesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organisation (WHO) were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have 'additional benefits'. The decision will now go out to public consultation.
Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected 'dirty work' on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO‘s less than resounding message.
'The food industry say Govemment has no business interfering（介入） in families, we must protect personal choice,' Professor Capewell said. 'We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups - with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals – with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in.'
59. By referring to smoking the author indicates that
A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smoking
B. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban something
C. it is easy for people to see bad effects of something
D. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately
60. WHO has changed its idea mainly because
A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasized
B. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do now
C. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us good
D. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies
61. When reporting the argument about sugar, the author seems to
A. remain objective B. stand by those against it
C. believe it harmless D. hold the view of 'wait-and-see'
62. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage?
A. Is sugar the new evil? B. How much sugar do you take daily?
C. Is sugar to be taxed? D. How much do you know about sugar?
C
Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.
Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.
Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.
Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge 'hole' in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.
Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.
The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up t0 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.
They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don‘t know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic components. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.
Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.
63. What do we know about the newly discovered gases?
A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.
B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.
C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.
D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.
64. The underlined word 'archive' in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of'____ '
A. state B. resource C. phenomenon D. storeroom
65. What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?
A. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.
B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.
C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.
D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.

Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.
Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor‘s prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.
'He was a social reformer,' says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. 'He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨).'
And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist:
With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days.
Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little companions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.
His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered becoming an actor.
'When he was actually writing, he became his characters,' says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. 'He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down.'
Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims‘ Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey‘s voicing of the same character in Disney‘s 2009, 3-D animated film.
The original 1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from 'Old Marley‘s Ghost' to 'Marley‘s Ghost'. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section.
'He realizes he‘s not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this,' Kiely explains. 'He‘s got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas.'
Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.
Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens‘ achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature.
'He achieved what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That‘s what we all hope for,' says Boyle. But Dickens‘ greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: 'People think of him as a cheerful man ... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that‘s worth knowing. I think it‘s always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.'
66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens‘ works?
A. His love for his family. B. His childhood sufferings.
C. His desire for formal education. D. His reason to choose literary career.
67. The author quotes Dickens‘ description of Oliver Twist mainly to show
A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor children
B. that Dickens knew well about poor children
C. what real poverty was like in his days
D. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived
68. It can be inferred from the passage that _
A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failure
B. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the public
C. A Christrwas Carol proved Dickens an efficient writer
D. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train
69. We can learn from the passage that
A. all the characters created by Dickens are popular
B. people prefer films based on Dickens‘ novels to his works
C. Dickens were more interested in performing than in writing
D. the films and plays based on Dickens‘ novels raise his popularity
70. What did Dickens intend to do by telling his stories?
A. To amuse his readers and change society.
B. To analyze the nature of society he was m.
C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.
D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI) is a set of abilities or competencies that enable us to understand and manage ourselves and our emotions effectively. EQ also helps us understand and effectively relate to others. Stress tolerance, leadership, communication, social responsibility, problem solving and creativity all require high EQ.
Here are some of the major emotional intelligence competences that make up a fully integrated personality as well as a sample of a state of the art assessment that measures EQ.
Emotional Expression - The ability to express your feelings and instincts（本能）. Emotional expression is a necessary part of your day.
Emotional Awareness of Others - The ability to hear, sense or intuit what other people may be feeling from their words, body language (not verbal) or other direct or indirect clues.
Flexibility - The ability to bounce back, be flexible, and retain curiosity and hope in the face of adversity, change or challenge.
Optimism - Being positive and optimistic.
EQ is recognized to be one of the most important predictors of personal, business and professional success. In a world of unprecedented change and challenge it is our ability to increase our EQ that will help us build the leadership, transparent communication and collaboration to lead better lives, do better business and contribute to a better world.
IQ may get you the client, but your EQ skills will help you keep the client and build a growing practice. Why? Because, while human beings like to make their decisions m an intelligent way to purchase a product or a service, the bottom line remains that we buy services and products from those we trust and like. It is our ability to trust and like another person that makes us feel comfortable with the relationship and inspires the desire to have or to purchase something from them.
It is the human ability to put instincts, emotions and thoughts into the correct position in relation to each other that gives us the competence to increase our emotional intelligence. And it is the human ability to use the changes and challenges we face to develop self awareness and emotional management that helps us communicate better.
With appropriate education and training, Emotional Intelligence can be developed throughout our lives. Like most human competences, Emotional Intelligence is best increased in the learning and the doing, and that is why EQ focused coaching is so powerful.
