正确答案:BGreen Tea Protects against Heart Disease
A few cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart disease, Greek researchers said on Wednesday. A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from a brew already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.
The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax, said Charalambos Vlachopoulos, a cardiologist at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study. Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.
The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial compounds called flavonoids(类黄酮) -- some of which are lost in the oxidation process that black tea undergoes. Flavonoids are also found in cocoa, tomatoes and grapes. "A couple of cups a day would probably be a good dose for people," Vlachopoulos said. "This is the first study to show these effects for green tea."
The researchers gave 14 healthy volunteers either green tea, diluted caffeine or hot water and then measured the function of endothelial cells lining the circulatory system. These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow. "What is important is these effects are evident fairly rapidly, within 30 minutes," Vlachopoulos said. The measurements taken 30, 90 and 120 minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea, he said.
While the researchers looked only at a short-term impact, Vlachopolous said the team"s studies suggest the protection is long lasting. "Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea, but it could be more beneficial because of the way it seems to improve (circulatory) function," he said.

答案：ABBACBC Milk Drinking
1 People everywhere drink milk.Most people drink cows’ milk. In different parts of the world some people also use the milk of goats，buffaloes，sheep，horses， donkeys，camels，zebras, or reindeer.
2 Milk has most things needed for helping people grow and keep well. Its three main parts are water，fatty matter，and other matter. These three food parts are easily used by the body.They build bones，teeth，and blood.They make the skin clear and the eyes bright，and they help repair worn-out or hurt body parts.
3 Many animals feed their newly born babies milk from the mothers’ own bodies.It takes the place of the blood that carried food to the babies before they were born.In this way milk works like blood.But it doesn’t have the same red color.
4 Cows’ milk is used mainly as a food.When it is used fresh it is first heated to kill germs.Then it is put into bottles or hard paper boxes.Some milk is canned or dried.This allows it to be kept longer.This means you can keep it in your house for many months.If you need milk every day，you just open a can or package.Some people like this better than going to the store every day.Milk is also made into buttermilk， cheese，butter，ice cream，and other foods.Foods made from milk are called dairy foods.
5 Parts of milk are made into many things that have nothing to do with food.Among these are cold-water paints，face creams，buttons，combs，knife and brush handles medicines，and toys.It has many more uses than most people ever dream of.Think of that the next time you drink a glass of milk.

正确答案:EFBD EABF A Loyal Dog
Williams had an intelligent dog named Prince. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate(证明) his abilities.
When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams daily paper but with a packet of Williams" favorite tobacco. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved(进化) for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter.
One evening he slipped and fell on the icy road somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William’s hand. Very muddy and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three pounds, Williams’driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.
