Taking vitamin pills in high dses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk f cataracts(白内障), a study has shwn.
Scientists fund that cnsuming large amunts f vitamin C made individuals 20 percent mre likely t develp the cnditin, which is a leading cause f blindness. And regularly taking high-dse vitamin E tablets increased the chance f cataracts frming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater fr the elderly, with thse ver 65 nearly dubling their chances f damaging their visin if they tk these vitamins every day.
Researchers frm the Karlinska Institute in Stckhlm mnitred 31,000 vlunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 f them went n t need treatment fr their eyes. The Swedish team discvered a strng link between thse wh develped cataracts and thse wh tk high dses f vitamins C and E.
It was riginally thught that the tw vitamins wuld prtect against cataracts because they are pwerful antixidants(脱氧化剂). It was suppsed that they wuld fight the prcess f xidatin(氧化), which destrys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rts a car. Hwever, it it nw believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause xidatin by upsetting the natural balance f prteins in the eye.
The human bdy des nt make r stre vitamin C, and gets its supply frm fruit and vegetables. It nly needs 40 mg a day t keep cells healthy and prmte healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure f cells and is fund in fd items such as nuts and seeds. Aman needs just 4 mg a day and a wman shuld have 3 mg. But tablets cntaining up t a hundred times this amunt are als available in UK health fd shps. Researchers stressed that the dangers will nly be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amunts. These were defined as 1,000 mg f vitamin C and 100 mg f vitamin E a day.
Hwever, Prfessr Yit Yang, frm the Ryal Cllege f Ophthalmlgists in Australia, said, “It is nt pssible t establish frm this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be ther factrs(因素) that were nt accunted fr.”
8．What d we knw abut the research frm the text?
A．The research was cnducted in Australia.
B．The vlunteers cvered the full range f ages.
C．Almst 10 percent f the vlunteers had smething wrng with their eyes.

It’s a late night in the Metr area f Phenix, Arizna. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slwly appraching and parking.

Fd plays an imprtant rle in ur lives. We can learn a lt abut a particular culture by explring fd. In fact, it may be difficult t fully define a culture withut a nd t their cuisine. Here’s why fd is the best way t understand a culture.
16 It desn’t matter where yu’re frm — yu have t eat. And yur scietal culture mst likely evlves frm the universal need t eat. Fd preservatin (保存) techniques are unique t climates and lifestyle. Ever wnder why the prcess t preserve meat is s different arund the wrld? 17 In Mrcc, Khlea is a dish cmpsed f dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved crrectly, it’s still gd fr tw years when stred at rm temperature. That makes a lt f sense in Mrcc, where the cuntry histrically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
18 Sme peple have cuisines that are entirely based n meat, and thers are almst entirely plant based. These cuisines tk shape in the lng curse f histry. Fr example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied frm regin t regin, with meat and wheat dishes in the nrth, vegetarian diets in the suth.
Smetimes, a certain ingredient f ne dish can reveal cultural secrets. 19 And perhaps ne f the mst interesting results frm the mix f tw cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems t be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Fd turism — it’s a whle new way t travel. Fd turists wn’t just fcus n having a glass f beer at Oktberfest (德国十月啤酒节). 20 They may even learn hw t make their wn fresh beer. And they have the chance t learn lcal skills that can send insight(洞悉) int a whle ther aspect f a particular regin’s culture.
A．Meat is mre difficult t preserve than plants.
B．Lcal cuisines shw histrical eating patterns.
C．It has smething t d with lcal resurces, needs and climates.
D．Fd is the mst imprtant necessity f the peple.
E．Sme cuisines change accrdingly during different times f the year.
F．Black pepper riginates in Asia but becmes a key part f Eurpean cuisine.
G．Mrever, they will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess.
