Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia (痴呆).
Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive (认知) abilities.” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia. He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car, not just forgetting where I was going— I wouldn’t know where I was.” More than 47 million people around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries.
We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, lentils (扁豆) and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D. Also, sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin’s ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.
Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.
1.Which of the following is true about vitamin D?
A. Vitamin D can decrease people’s risk of heart diseases.
B. Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.
C. Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.
D. The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.
2.What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Boring but rewarding.
B. Disturbing and frightening.
C. Disgusting and stressful.
D. Hard and tiresome.
3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How vitamin D affects people’s health.
B. Where people get vitamin D.
C. Whether sunlight can produce vitamin D.
D. Why people’s age influences the production of vitamin D.
4.Where can we most probably read the passage?
A. In a travel brochure.
B. In a literature magazine.
C. In a science journal.
D. In a commercial advertisement.
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的) .
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.

A. tends to believe responsibility means happiness
B. associates his/her happiness less with others
C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

A. She cares little about her own health.
B. She is easily satisfied by things in daily life.
C. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.
D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.
3.People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______.
A. pay too much attention to their right to happiness
B. consider pressure something blocking their way
C. are at a loss to make correct choices
D. are more likely to be happy
4.Which of the following can best explain the main idea of the passage?
A. God helps those who help themselves.
B. Each man is the master of his own fate.
C. Happy is he who is content.
D. Success leads to happiness.
