Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify
giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed
data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the
researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and
that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.

Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group
of
famous
U.S.
scientists
who
took
the
unusual
step
of
trying
to
stop
the
papers
from
being
published until their criticisms were addressed.

The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that
people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to
cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak,
and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors
could be at play.


If
the
latest
example
of
how
divisive
nutrition
research
has
become,
with
its
uncertainties
leaving
the
door
open
for
conflicting
advice.
Critics
say
findings
often
aren't
backed
by
strong
evidence.
Defenders
counter
that
nutrition
studies
can
rarely
be
conclusive
because
of
the
difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.

Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons.
But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors
such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for
animal
welfare
and
the
environment
is
stronger
than
the
case
that
it's
bad
for
human
health,
according to an editorial that accompanies the report.

Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they
support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those
who called for a publication delay.

Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included
in the reviews while others were left out.


As
for
his
own
diet,
Dr.
Gordon
Guyatt,
a
member
of
the
international
research
team
that
conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health
risks.
But
he
said
he
still
avoids
them
out
of
habit,
and
for
animal
welfare
and
environmental
reasons.

bed caters for less than half of the male population.
foot beds would work fine.

Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-
legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.


Some

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that
night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the
same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering
that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying
seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report
feeling better after crying.


Besides,
tears
attract
help
from
other
people.
Researchers
agree
that
when
we
cry,
people
around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort.
Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're
very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with
them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying - holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering - can be
bad for physical health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high
blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors
will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural
–
and
healthy- emotional response.

（

Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?

A. The author doesn't give the explanation.

B. Because she did not love her grandmother.

C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

It can inferred from the text that ______.

A. there are two ways to keep mental health

B. crying does more good to health than laughing

According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.

Artificial
intelligence
can
predict
when
patients
with
a
heart
disorder
will
die,
according
to
scientists.

The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the
organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK's Medical Research Council, said the technology
could
save
lives
by
finding
patients
that
need
more
aggressive
treatment.
The
results
were
published in the Journal of Radiology.

According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and
about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs,
injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of
how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.

The software was given scans of 256 patients' hearts, and blood test results. When this data
was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when
patients would die.


The
software
could
look
about
five
years
into
the
future.
It
correctly
predicted
those
who
would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.

The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before
assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to
use
the
technology
in
other
forms
of
heart
failure,
such
as
cardiomyopathy,
to
see
who
might
need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.


Dr
Mike
Knapton,
from
the
British
Heart
Foundation,
said,

exciting
use
of
computer
software
in
medical
practice
will
help
doctors
in
the
future
to
make
sure
that
patients
are
receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung
transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.

（

）
What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?

A. Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.

B. Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.

C. Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.

Gene technology to benefit people

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological
engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic
discussed by people.


The
greatest
thing
that
gene
technology
can
do
is
to
cure
serious
diseases
that
doctors
at
present
can
almost
do
nothing
with,
such
as
cancer
and
heart
disease.
Every
year,
millions
of
people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way
to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured
completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of
money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as
well. In addition, human life span(
寿命
) can be prolonged.


Gene
technology
can
help
people
to
give
birth
to
more
healthy
and
clever
children.
Some
families, with the English imperial(
皇室
) family being a good example, have hereditary(
遗传的
)
diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble
for
these
families.
In
the
past,
doctors
could
do
nothing
about
hereditary
diseases.
But
gene
technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and
correct it and a healthy child will be born.

Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in
large
quantities.
In
the
past
few years,
scientists
have
succeeded
in
cloning
a
sheep;
therefore
these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will
not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal
way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.

（
1
）
What does

A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.

B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.

C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.

D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.

（
2
）
What's the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.

B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.

C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.

D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.

Empathy (
同理心
)is one of those strange qualities
—
something almost everyone wants, but few
know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short
supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means
to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy?
—
Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct
values.
Empathy
is
not
just
the
ability
to
understand
someone's
feelings;
criminals
often
take
advantage
of
people
by
appearing
to
understand
their
feelings
and
subsequently
gaining
their
trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it
also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness,
dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy
—
While some children are gifted with naturally kind
hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins
with
the
way
parents
relate
to
their
children.
Parents
who
show
an
interest
in
the
things
that
matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of
empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs
—
When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen.
They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are
receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first
they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give
their
emotions
names
(for
example,
jealousy,
anger,
and
love)
and
teach
them
that
these
are
normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations
where
other
people
are experiencing
emotions.
Teach
them
about
respecting
the
emotions
of
others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
