9、gh vitamins，we are at the risk of developing a number of diseases. As a result，vitamin supplements(补品)，though expensive，are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think，medical experts have found little eviden

10、ce that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against diseases.In fact，medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example，too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors，as some vitamins c

11、an produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.Experts，however，do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent diseases. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example，may not have enough vitamin B12.This is because，as people

12、 get older，their body loses its ability to take it from foods. Also，people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil.Its also in the yellow part of eggs.

13、Sweet potatoes，carrots and other darkly coloured fruit and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin AVitamin B12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods，like fruit. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.In fact，for most people，a balanced diet can ensure enough

17、at greens?Now, two American experts believe they have the answer.After studying dozens of babies as they played with various objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to grasp plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (进化) has biologically made children

18、be wary of plants.Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (机制) that limits a childs contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of grabbing plants and why ch

19、ildren turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E. Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote，“Throughout human evolutionplants have been essential to human existence. Yet, for all of these benefits, p

20、lants have always caused very real dangers.”“Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also employ physical defences, such as thorns and poisonous oils that can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added，“We predicted that babi

21、es may have behavioural strategies that reduce their exposure to dangers posed by plants by minimizing their physical contact with plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for

22、children to grab plants; objects that were faked to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.24What does the underlined word “wary” in the third paragraph mean?ACurious.

BThey forbade their children to touch plants.CThey chose to have little contact with plants.DThey tried very hard to escape from predators.26Which is the best title for the text?AGive chil

24、dren more fun things to doBThe survival instinct (本能) is to blameCWhat kind of things are healthyDInfants of eight to eighteen months oldCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both the

25、se questions is yes.To some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and

26、 varied surroundingsThus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we a

27、re born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take tw

28、o identical(完全相同的) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in dif

29、ferent environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that p

30、eople who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 27Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Para.1? ATo some degree, intelligence is given at birth. BIntelligence is developed by the environment.

31、CSome people are born clever and others born stupid. DIntelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.28It is suggested in this passage that_. Aunrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence Bclose relations usually have similar intelligence Cthe closer the blood re
