The years of warnings about skin cancer mean that Britons are happy to cover themselves in sunscreen or stay out of the sun altogether, but it also means that most of us are not getting enough vitamin D. Scientists announced yesterday that Britons need to increase to three times the amount of vitamin D they get per day. They called on food producers to fortify(强化)their products with more of the vitamin and suggested people should consider taking supplements(补充物)to keep levels up. They also suggested getting out in the sun for short periods more often, but they warned against “sun bingeing”. The government does not publish official advice on the amount of vitamin D people should take due to a lack of research, says Dr Birgit Teucher of the Institute for Food Research. But in the US，the government recommends 5 micrograms a day. By that count, Dr Teucher said that around 90 of Britons between 19 and 64 would be lacking in the vitamin because they only took around 3 micrograms a day. Vitamin D is important for absorption of calcium(钙)by the body，which is needed for healthy teeth and bones. A lack of it can lead to serious diseases in both children and adults. The vitamin can be found in some foods but it can also be obtained from chemicals in the skin reacting to sunlight. Dr Barbara Boucher said adults should get 5 to 25 micrograms a day. Shortage of vitamin D may be linked to diseases such as muscle weakness，high blood pressure and rickets(佝偻病). Dr Teucher gave several reasons for the lack among Britons. Increasing numbers of office-based jobs mean a lack of exposure to the sun；and the rise of becoming overweight means that vitamin Dwhich is fat soluble(可溶解的)一is increasingly stored in body fat，where it cannot be accessed readily. Professor Brian Wharton of the Institute of Child Health said that children in particular needed to have enough vitamin D to prevent rickets. Professor Graham Bentham, an environmental scientist at the University of East Anglia，added that babies who were only breast-fed probably need to take supplements in case their mother was vitamin D lacking. Those drinking milk were likely to be OK，thanks to the fortification of the drink. The scientists called on food producers to fortify milk，bread and breakfast nutrient to enable people to get their daily amount of the vitamin. Prof Bentham added that 30 minutes of sun exposure to the face and forearms between April and October would be sufficient. Outside these months，the sun is not strong enough in Britain for the body to produce its own vitamin D. But Prof Bentham warned against spending too long in the sun. Sun bingeing is well known to be dangerous。”he said. “In any case，vitamin D transformation in the skin switches off after a while so short frequent amounts are better for vitamin D formation.”41.From Paragraphs l&2 we can infer that_. A. some health campaigns are very successful B. people are lacking in various vitamins C. Britons are advised not to get out in the sun D. vitamin D can be obtained by staying in the sun42.The word “sufficient” (Paragraph 8) is the closest in meaning to _. A. enough B. proper C. familiar D. available43.From the passage，we can conclude_.A. the babies who were only breastfed certainly need to take vitamin D supplementsB. a large quantity of vitamin D stored in body fat is the primary reason for being overweightC. the sunlight can produce adequate vitamin D that the body needs all year roundD. vitamin D is vital for the body to absorb calcium needed for healthy teeth and bones44.The government doesnt give official advice on the amount of vitamin D because_. A. they think it is harmful for health B. they dont want to be blamed C. they arent confident of its function D. they havent concrete proof45.Which best describes the writers tone in the passage? A. Humorous. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. One-sided. BBelow are news briefs from a newspaper. The secrets of longevity In a study of 75-year-olds, researchersfound that those who lived into their 90s sharedsome important traits (诀窍). They didnt smoke.They remained physically active and pursued avariety of leisure activities. And they kept a strongsocial network. The research reaffirms what doctorshave been advising for years: stay active and stayconnected for good physical and mental health. Onaverage, men in this study who followed a healthylifestyle lived six years longer, and women fiveyears longer, compared with those who did notfollow such a lifestyle. Glove keyboard enables use of devices with one hand Computer engineering students at The Universityof Alabama in Huntsville have designed a tool thatcould revolutionize new ways of using electronicdevices with just one hand. Its called a GauntletKeyboard, a glove device that functions as a wirelesskeyboard. Instead of tapping keys on a keyboard, the user simply touches his thumb to points on hisfingers assigned a letter or other keyboard function. Chinese white collars ambitious for wealth According to MSN China and Research, morethan 50% of Chinese white collars believe apersonal fortune of at least 5 million yuan is necessary. The survey was conducted online, covering 100,000 odd respondents. The averagemonthly income of a senior white collar in bigChinese cities is around 10,000 yuan. That is tosay, it will take a white collar approximately 42years to accumulate 5 million yuan of personalwealth. Thus it is an unpractical goal, despite thefact that 75% of white collars have faith inmaking investment. Being too covetous forwealth is bad for ones health, particularly mental health. Artist seeks a garden in the sky Artist Stephen Glassman wants you to lookup. The Los Angeles-based artist is looking tocreate an urban air garden above the streets ofL.A. Right now the air garden is at the conceptstage. If enough money is raised ( Glassman isseeking $100,000), the City of Angels willbe home to a floating garden of bamboo, whichwill appear to be floating but actually be sup-ported by pillars.

A.where anything goes, the garden would be sureto turn heads.$600 car issued more than$100,000 in parking tickets An abandoned car in Chicago worth an estimated $600 has been issued more than$1 00.000 in parking tickets over the past threeyears. Jennifer Fitzgerald，3 1，is currently stuckwith the bill but says the 1999 Chevy MonteCarlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend whoregistered the ear in her name without herknowledge.

But Fitzgerald says she doesntowe the city a dime and has filed a lawsuitagainst the city of Chicago and the ex-boyfriend.Supermarket owner gives away stores to his 400 employees This is the season of giving，and a grocery-store owner is doing just that. Joe Lueken, whoowns and manages two grocery stores in Bemidji，Minnesota，and one in Wahpeton，North Dakota，is retiring at age 70.

First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clowns shoes. No，not really. It isnt true. I invented it. But I wouldnt be surprised to see it one day soon. It seems that every week someone becomes the first or the youngest or the oldest or even the first married couple to do something that doesnt seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity. This year Ive seen headlines saying The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone，The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest，and The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon. Why do they do it? Dont they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains，sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet. Many of these things were done a long，long time ago. There just isnt anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose theres still a lot of the universe left，and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery，but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So，those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before. So they have to try and do it in a new way，or be the fastest or the youngest or the oldest to do something that isnt really new at all.What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway? Its become a popular tourist trip.People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas，who lead the way and carry the bags. At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down. As a result，Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up. The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety. Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain. In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica. Im not quite sure what they were trying to be the first or the youngest to do. The Chilean navy picked them up after a ninehour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds，all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers. Talking of taxpayers，many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers. A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records g
