1 . Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake, through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

Garland’s research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There’s nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units (IU) a serving. People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day, Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

African Americans, who don’t produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake, the authors said.

Sure, chocolate is a delicious treat, and it’s a staple of some of our favorite desserts. But it’s not exactly a health food, so it should be enjoyed in moderation — right?

Well, it turns out that     1     (eat) chocolate might actually have a pretty significant health benefit. According to recent research     2     (conduct) by five scientists in Italy, compounds found in chocolate, called flavanols(黄烷醇), can help boost cognitive performance. Yes, chocolate’s good for your brain.

The scientists, studying at the Universities of Rome and L’Aquila,     3     (record) research from 10 different studies. The studies assessed people’s performance on cognitive tests before and after eating cocoa or chocolate. The results were telling: in nine out of the 10 studies, there was a noticeable improvement     4     the subjects had eaten the chocolate. The scientists found improvements in “general cognition, attention, processing speed, and working memory.” Sounds pretty good to us!

And that’s not all. In subjects, especially women, who performed the tests while sleep-deprived, the flavanols helped “counteract” the negative effects of the sleep deprivation. And there’s even more good news.     5     (take) daily over periods ranging from five days to three months, chocolate can produce noticeable long-term improvements in cognition. Older adults,     6     memories were already declining, saw an especially significant improvement. Be right back, we’re gonna go stock up on Hershey bars. Here are some more strategies that can help improve your memory.

All chocolate has flavanols, since they occur naturally in cocoa. However, dark chocolate lovers feel happy,     7     it has more flavanols than any other type of chocolate. In fact, the scientists     8     have claimed that, after doing this research, they’ve started eating dark chocolate every day! Here are some other health benefits of eating dark chocolate. Now, we’re not saying that you     9     start eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — it’s still high in sugar and low in nutrients. But next time you find yourself yawning after a sleepless night, snack on some chocolate and let the flavanols work their magic. Go ahead,     10     take advantage of chocolate’s newfound brainpower with these delicious recipes.

3 . The Slow Food Movement started in Rome, Italy in 1986. When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place, some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not want fast food. We want slow food!”

    1     One day Carl went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal. But the food didn‘t taste the same as he remembered. He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low. This deeply concerned Carlo.

Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods made their culture special. So he started a group to encourage this idea. It soon became the Slow Food Movement.     2    

First, what is good food? Good food is fresh. The vegetables are eaten close to the place where they are grown. The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten. Good food is seasonable.     3     Good food satisfies the senses. It should look good, smell good and taste good. And finally, good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.

Second, food should be clean. Today, there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food. Farmers use chemicals to kill insects and feed plants. But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.    4    Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.

And third, the price of food should be fair.     5     All people should be able to purchase healthy food. The people who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work. They should work in safe, healthy conditions.

A．Food should not cost too much money.

B．Its goal about food is divided into 3 parts: good, clean and fair.

C．Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.

D．That was how the Slow Food Movement came into being.

E．It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.

F．Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.

G．This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.

7 . The employees at Helwig Carbon Products in Milwaukee have their own company cafeteria. But if anyone wants to eat a doughnut(甜甜圈), it’s going to cost twice as much as what they might pay for the sweet at the local grocery store. That’s because Helwig Carbon Products has a wellness program, and it is one of many local companies trying to show employees how to eat healthier.

“We’re really trying to persuade people to eat healthier,” said Cheryl Brah, human resources director at Helwig Carbon Products. “A piece of fruit is 25 cents; a doughnut is $1.50—and we still have people who buy doughnuts. People complain—but we really try to put our efforts toward the middle-of-the-line people who might lean more toward the wellness side, eventually.”

This effort isn’t just happening at Helwig Carbon. There has been a city-wide movement of 44 local companies who added or evolved their health and wellness programs to their company culture. It all started several years ago, when a program called Well City Milwaukee teamed up with 44 local businesses that collectively represent a workforce of 130,000 employees. Well City Milwaukee provided healthy practices guidelines for businesses. In exchange, it surveyed the employees to find out what their health needs and risks were and what activities they found interesting. Well City then set a very high bar for companies to meet a lot of expectations to be considered a top wellness program.

Companies needed a commitment from the CEO; to form a wellness team; to collect information from the employees in surveys and health assessments; to come up with an operating plan; to create a supportive environment; to self-evaluate their efforts; and finally, to choose their best approaches. That meant coming up with activities, better nutrition education, and motivational programs like getting people to quit smoking, getting people in for medical self-care and working on stress management.

1. Why does the company cafeteria charge much more for doughnuts?

A．To profit more from the wellness program.

B．To discourage the purchase of unhealthy food.

C．To drive employees to the local grocery store.

D．To show the rich ingredients of the doughnuts.

2. What should a company do if it undertakes the top wellness program?

A．Launch related activities based on employees’ needs.

B．Motivate its employees to cooperate with each other.

C．Diagnose and treat its employees’ diseases effectively.

D．Prohibit its CEO from putting any pressure on its employees.

3. What does the text mainly intend to tell us?

A．Company cafeterias are very popular among employees.

B．Companies are trying to meet all employees’ expectations.

C．Companies are trying to help employees care about their health. .

D．Company culture is gaining priority in a company’s development.
