Have you ever wanted to stop eating something sweet but you couldn’t? Can you eat a box of chocolate all by yourself?
Can you say “no” to sweets at parties? If you can’t, then perhaps you’re sugar addict (有瘾的人). Doctors say that people who often eat sweets can easily become addicted to sugar.
Sugar addiction is serious, because it can really damage your health and even cause (导致) death.

The study looked at 50,000 children from 20 countries. Parents were asked about their children's eating habits and whether they had ever suffered from asthma. The effects of their diet seemed to be different depending on where they lived. Fruit and vegetables are more helpful in less affluent parts of the world, while eating lots of fish was more helpful in richer countries. Eating at least three hamburgers a week was linked to（与……有联系）a greater risk of asthma, but only in wealthier countries.
Dr Gabriele Nagel said different things may cause asthma in different parts of the world. “This gives us more understanding of how asthma affects（影响）different people, and its effects in developing countries as well as developed countries,” she said.
High levels of unhealthy fat in hamburgers could increase the risk of asthma. However, the researchers said children who ate several hamburgers a week were likely to have other unhealthy lifestyle habits as well.
Researchers said the study helped us understand how asthma and diet are connected. “Previous studies have shown that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help to reduce a child's risk of developing asthma symptoms,” Dr Elaine Vickers said. “Our advice to parents is to make sure that children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”
1. What can we learn about the study from the passage?| A．The fat in hamburgers doesn't increase the risk of asthma. |
| B．Children who like hamburgers don't like exercise. |
| C．Eating three hamburgers a month could cause asthma. |

【推荐2】①Most of us don’t talk about food until we start feeling hungry, but eating is important in life. To talk about food and eating is to talk about one of the most common subjects we know. Eating is just like breathing or sleeping, so everyday, and so ordinary. It does not receive much notice.
②However, what, where, when, how, and with whom we eat say a great deal about who we are. Do you use chopsticks? Do you hold the knife backward? Do you chew with your mouth open? All these eating habits say something about you. They are messages even when we are not trying to say anything. Food and the ways we eat it like clothes and the way we wear them, tell who and what we are.
③We learn our eating habits very early in life. We usually have strong feelings about our childhood foods. Foods we learn to like in our early years probably have a special meaning for us forever because they are connected to people and things we love. Mom’s cheese or the way Dad cuts the bread just right brings about feelings of love and comfort.
④People use food and eating to mark the seasons and the important moments in life (such as growing up and getting married), or to honor gods, and to say something about themselves. People will eat different foods for different holidays. Sometimes people ever explain why they eat certain things on certain days. Americans do that sort of explaining at Thanksgiving. They eat turkey corn, and Indian pudding because their ancestors (祖先) ate them at the first Thanksgiving. Those foods mean something to Americans.
⑤As you can see, food and eating mark people’s shared experiences but they can also mark the differences. In the sense, ________.
1. You can probably read the article from a magazine about _______.| A．traveling | B．food and culture | C．clothes and fashion |

【推荐1】Salted fish is a common food that is popular in the south of China. It is chewy (有嚼劲的) and adds a salty taste to other dishes. But eating too much salted fish can give you cancer (癌症), according to a list of cancer-causing foods that was recently published by the China Food and Drug Administration.
Salted fish is produced with a large amount of salt, which later turns into nitrites (亚硝酸盐).When nitrites reach our stomach, they turn into another kind of chemical (化学物质) that can cause cancer, Huang Yufang from the Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University told Xinhua News Agency.
So does this mean we can’t eat salted fish anymore?
“People don’t need to worry too much. It has to do with how often you eat certain foods and how much of them you eat,” Huang said. If you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a small amount once or twice a month. At the same time, you should also eat more fruit and vegetables that are rich in vitamin C, as this can help to prevent the formation (形成) of nitrites.
In fact, there are many foods we often eat that are thought to cause cancer, such as pickles (咸菜), areca palm (槟榔), certain fried foods and even red meat, such as pork, lamb and beef.
Although these foods can possibly cause cancer, it doesn’t mean a person will get cancer just from eating them, according to the World Health Organization.
Cancer is caused by many different factors, such as one’s genes (基因), environment, lifestyle and eating habits. As long as one has a balanced diet, one doesn’t need to avoid cancer-causing foods totally, Fang Yu, a doctor from the Beijing Cancer Hospital, told People’s Daily.

Many parents have to buy candy for their kids under the pressure brought by the kids who may lie on the ground to roll and cry out loudly. Just one candy bar is fine, but if the kids are not careful, they will get themselves in a hole. And the result may not be so sweet as they expect.
Do you know that sugar was used as a kind of medicine at first? Ancient people used honey and sweet fruit to treat digestive disorders (治疗消化不良). Even as late as the 18th century, sugar was still used to help people with some digestive problems.
Generally speaking, it’s OK for us to think that sugar can provide us with good energy (能量). However, this is not true. The so-called “energy” we can feel after having sugar is actually called a sugar rush. The joy caused by that sugar rush doesn’t last very long and usually leaves a person feeling tired afterward.
Eating candy can provide energy for the bacteria (细菌) in the mouth. If you don’t brush your teeth carefully, you may end up with a toothache. Also, sugar sends a message to your brain and body that it is okay to eat or drink more. Not surprisingly, people who have a lot of sugar are most likely to become fat. Sugar can also lead to serious physical problems such as diabetes (糖尿病).
Too much of a good thing can be bad sometimes. Cut down on sugar and you will find yourself feeling better! Just remember, “You are what you eat.”

【推荐1】When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand?
These days, buying second-hand items(物品) is becoming more popular. Many people have extra things to get rid of. In recent years, people have made more money and bought far more than they need, according to a speech by Wei Ying, founder(创始人) of an online second-hand book trading site(交易平台). At the same time, more people are becoming interested in minimalism(极简主义). Minimalism is an art movement that started in the US in the late 1950s. it became more popular in the 1960s. It focuses on art that is simple yet beautiful. Artists use simple geometric shapes to create it.
This way of making art has influenced people’s lifestyles. Just like minimal art, people who live a minimalist lifestyle cut things down to the basics.
Second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money. It’s also good for the environment. In 2020, the mass(质量) of all man-made materials(材料) became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. Instead of making new things, it’s a better choice to reuse old things.
People can even find some “extinct”(绝版的) items, or items that are no longer made. For example, some people like to buy vintage(复古的) items, including clothes and accessories(饰品). These items often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them.

【推荐2】Imagine a family is having dinner at a restaurant. What are they doing? Maybe they are eating and drinking. More possibly, they are looking at their own phones and ignoring (忽视) one another. These days, this is a very common scene and there is a word for it: phubbing.
Phubbing is an ordinary part of modern life. When a conversation gets boring, we turn to our phones. Often, people are using their phones to chat with other people or look at past memories. It’s funny. They could be chatting and making memories with the people next to them. But most of the time, they are losing themselves in an unreal world alone. That is not a good thing.
A study says that phubbing may ruin our relationships. When married people become phubbers, their relationship stops satisfying them and they may argue more. Phubbing hurts friendship, too. People say their phubbing friends don’t really respect them.
But why do people become phubbing? It’s because there’s a whole world inside our phones. That world’s pull is very strong. It’s almost like a drug. People can’t control themselves, so it’s hard to blame (责备) them for phubbing.
If others ignore you, be patient with them. Remind them to put their phones down and talk to you. You should pay attention to your phubbing habits, too. If you spend more time on your phone, stop. Put your phone away, look at the people beside you, listen to them and have fun with them.

| B．To break something completely. |
| C．To keep the same as before. |
| D．To make something right again. |
| A．They should be punished for phubbing in a strict way. |
| B．We should understand them and not become the same as them. |

AI is a double-edged sword. It can help us, but also cause us harm. Who is using AI? Is AI replacing humans? What should we do to avoid the risks and dangers that AI might bring?
Artificial intelligence is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to various industries. It might just prove to be one of man's greatest inventions.
And yet, like any other technology, ▲ . In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that "Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too," according to Quartz.
Their biggest concern was that criminals (罪犯) could use AI for wrongful purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to hack software and break into computer secure systems.
There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake images and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample.
Many leading figures in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.
However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical dangers of advanced AI – and hopefully, suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for mankind.
1. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3?| A．AI makes our life easier | B．AI will also bring risks |
| C．AI is around us everyday | D．AI beats human in many ways |

| C．why Baidu is a tech giant | D．how AI can copy voices |
| A．there may be new laws to regulate the use of AI. |

| C．many AI programmers will become criminals. |
| D．there will only be fake news and videos online. |
| A．tell readers that AI is a new invention | B．introduce what AI is really about |

【推荐3】Hiking is a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise. Here are a few simple tips to help you make sure that your next hiking trip is both safe and enjoyable.
First, it is always best to hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. If you get hurt, your friend can go for help. If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.
Next, make sure you have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration. Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it, so make sure to sip your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.
You should also make sure that you are wearing the right clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. If you're going on a long hike, you might want to bring an extra pair of socks just in case. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches, but clothing too tight might become uncomfortable as you walk. You should also wear your clothing in layers. This way, you can take off or put on layers based on how hot or cold it is outside. A hat and sunscreen are also a must; your head and skin need protection from the sun even when it is cold out.
These are just a few tips for a basic hiking trip. No matter where, when, or for how long you plan on hiking, remember: a fun hiking trip is a safe hiking trip.
1. According to the passage, it is more dangerous to hike by yourself because .| A．no one is available to help if you get injured | B．you alone have to carry all the heavy things |
| C．it's easier to get lost | D．you will dehydrate faster |
