Vitamins are stored in foods we eat. The kids are udner great need of vitamins for growth. As they use their energy in playing, they need lots of vitamins.
Children usually choose certain foods above the others and often do not eat those
with important nutrients(营养). Sothough the food they are eating is nutritious, it may not always provide all the nutrients the child needs.
One nutrient can not balance the shortage(缺乏) of another. Foods like grains, vegetables, fruits and meats should be eaten daily, because different foods in the child’s diet can balance against taking too much or too little of any nutrient.
Kids grow slower in their childhood than when they were babies or when they develop into adults. Energy output is high, with hard paly perids that include plenty of running, jumping, and testing of new physical skills. So they need a lot of vitamins.
Here are some important vitamins and their functions
Vitamin D in milk helps your bones.
Vitamin A in carrots helps you see at night.
Vitamin C in oranges helps your body heal if you get a cut.
B vitamins in leafy vegetables helps your body make protein(蛋白质).
The children, who are suffering from a sickness called cystic fibrosis, lose vitamin A, D and E. These are main body-building vitamins. Therefore, vitamin supplements(添补剂) may be necessary. Blood tests will telll you whether a child needs vitamin supplements.
If babies over nine months of age are receiving whole cow’s milk, they’ll need a daily vitamin C supplement till their diet provide enough vitamin C.
Vitamin D is added to all milks so babies drinking them need no extra vitamin D.
Children are greatly in need of vitamin C. If you are 18 years of age or younger, you should get 115 millgrams of vitamin C per day. Those over 19 should get 120 milligrams per day.
1. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. it is necessary for kids to eat different foods for all nutrients
B. it is necessary for one to exercise if he needs more vitamins
C. is it unnecesssay for babies to take a vitamin D supplement
D. it is unnecessary for elderly people to take in any vitamins.
2. When do kids have to take a vitamin supplement?
A. When they are not full of energy.
B. When they eat only some foods.
C. When they suffer from various illnesses
D. When they don’t have normal food.
3. What is it expecially necessary for high school students to have daily?
A. . Milk
B. Orange.
C. Carrots.
D. Vegetables.
4. The proper title for the passage is _______.
A. Diets of all nutrients
B. Vitamins for children
C. Balance of daily diets
D. Functions of vitamins

The Taxi & Limousine Committee agreed Wednesday to carry out a 30-cent extra charge on every city taxi fare —part of a historic plan to make half the city’s yellow cabs wheelchair-accessible.
The 30-cent extra charge will be assessed starting next January on all metered (用仪表计量的)yellow and green cab fares. The money will be put in a fund to help yellow cab owners make their vehicles wheelchair-accessible.
Only about 400 of the more than 13,000 yellow cabs now on city streets can accommodate wheelchairs. Hopefully, that number will rise to more than 7,500 by 2020.
Mayor de Blasio in the city Washington proposed the 30-cent charge to support the upgrades.
Consequently, disabled New Yorkers said the addition of more accessible cabs would be life-changing.
“We can’t go anywhere more conveniently,” said Jean Ryan of Brooklyn, who uses a wheelchair.
For the birth of her grandson, she had to wheel a mile and a half in a snowstorm to get to the hospital, she said.
Ronnie Raymond of Manhattan wept as she described spen ding “hours trying to get somewhere that takes everybody else 20 minutes.”
Some supporters for the disabled said more was needed to be done.
“I dream of a world where it’s 100% accessible and we have cabs just like anyone else,” said Jason DaSilva, a Brook lyn filmmaker who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair.
It’s particularly important because the city’s subway system is absolutely inaccessible to wheelchair riders.
Some other cities, including London, with its famous black cabs, require that all its taxis be fully accessible.
Some citizens expressed sympathy for the wheelchair-using riders, many of whom carried neon signs(霓虹灯招牌) that read “Taxi” next to a wheelchair symbol.
“The goal of this committee should be 100% accessibility —and I hope sooner rather than later,” said Frank Carone from the Taxi & Limousine Committee.
1. For what purpose will a 30-cent extra charge be applied on every city taxi fare?
A. To found a Taxi & Limousine Committee on Wednesday.
B. To encourage the locals to use wheelchairs properly.
C. To help the disabled with wheelchairs take a taxi conveniently.
D. To attract more tourists to use wheelchairs to get around.
2. Who was Jean Ryan in the passage?
A. Mayor of Washington.
B. A wheelchair user.
C. A cab driver.
D. A taxi owner
3. What is “sclerosis” in Paragraph 10 according to the passage?
A. The name of a vehicle.
B. The name of a filmmaker.
C. The name of a sort of wheelchairs
D. The name of a disease.
4. It can be safely inferred from the passage that ________.
A. The 30-cent extra charge on every city taxi fare is already quite popular.
B. About 1300 yellow cabs now on city streets are accommodating wheelchairs.
C. Wheelchair riders are absolutely content with the city’s subw ay system.
D. There is a long way to go before the plan can be applied successfully.
D
Offering a powerful new tool against terrorism, researchers have found a way to detect lies in the liar’s blushing(脸红) face. The technique, described in the journal (期刊) Nature, uses a thermal camera (热感照相机) to detect the sudden shift of blood flow in the face. The system performed as a traditional polygraph (测谎仪), the scientists report.
Pushed by technological advances and with fresh interest since Sept.11, the discovery is part of the development in the scientific study of detection. Although the lie remains a mysterious phenomenon, researchers in recent years have found a number of new methods that might take the place of the polygraph, from brain scans, to slight changes in eye movement, to sparks of electrical activity that signal a person has seen a victim or a crime scene before. The new finding says, when a person tells a lie, there is a sudden change of blood to the area around the eyes. Although the change is not ordinary visible, the blood warms the skin, causing bands of color to appear through a camera sensitive to heat.
One advantage of the camera can provide answers quickly, and doesn’t require a highly trained expert to operate it or explain its results. In theory, this new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to be quickly screened.
But some scientists say the technology would need to be improved before it is ready for use, for it is possible that there are other reactions that cause a sudden change in blood flow in the face and there is also the danger that people will learn to fool the machine, the same way they try to fool polygraph examiners by controlling their breathing or taking drugs to relax themselves.
1. Compared with a traditional polygraph, the new tool’s progress lies in the fact
that _______.
A. it is moveable
B. it is easier to operate
C. it gives correct conclusion
D. it can only be used in public places.
2. Different from the other tried ways, this new technology studies ______ to detect
lies.
A. brain waves
B. eye movements
C. electrical sparks
D. change in facial blood flow
3. We can infer that _________ inspires the finding of the new way of detection.
A. the need of personal security
B. the data collected in the tried ways
C. the threaten from terrorism
D. the desire for public use
4. It is NOT true that this new technology _________.
A. is incomparable as a result of perfect development and necessary rests
B. is likely to be used widely to screen large number of people
C. faces the danger of being fooled by experienced and drug-taking liars
D. needs to be improved before being put into use
