I am writing to thank you for the interesting reports which appeared in the July/August '9

20、4 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. I am interested in your reports since B12 deficiency(缺乏癥) is an inherited disorder in my family. In the late 1950s /early 1960s, a research project was carried out on it by a London medical school. My grandmother was 49 when she started vitamin B12 injections

21、in 1949. She was admitted to the hospital with a blood disease. My mother was 63 when she began vitamin B12 injections. After reading your article, I believe her treatment was started too late. At the time, she almost lost her eyesight and was told that she had other diseases. Earlier this year, I v

22、isited my doctor and explained that I felt very tired and asked for a blood test to establish whether I was suffering from B12 deficiency. I was told I was much too young and that only people in their 80s suffered B12 deficiency. I told him he was wrong and that research was carried out on my family

23、 30 years ago. I have always believed that prevention is better than cure. I now know why I love Kellogg's Honey Nut Cornflakes(玉米片). They contain vitamins, including B12! If foods contain added vitamins, as you suggest in your article, then B12 deficiency and diseases associated with it should

24、be left to the past. 36. The passage you have just read is most probably _. A) a thank-you letter to a medical doctor B) an advertisement for vitamin B12 C) a letter to the editor of a magazine D) a preface to a book on Vitamins37. Why is the author interested in the reports in the Saturday Evening

25、Post? A) He was seriously ill with vitamin B12 deficiency. B) He wanted to prevent himself from suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency. C) He wanted to cure his family members of an inherited disorder. D) He was curious about the latest medical developments.38. Which of the following is TRUE accordin

26、g to the passage? A) Doctors are not always reliable. B) Most foods contain vitamins, including B12. C) The author was determined to get rid of the inherited disorder in his family. D) Vitamin B12 deficiency can be prevented if measures are taken early.39. The reports the author had read probably to

27、ld him _. A) to have his blood tested early B) to take food rich in vitamins C) to have regular vitamin injections D) not to believe his doctor40. Doctors think that the usual case of B12 deficiency occurs when _. A) a patient is at an old age B) a person is very young C) a person doesn't take f

28、oods containing vitamins D) a patient stops vitamin injectionsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the av

29、erage family wastes at least $150 per year in food. “Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and then dont realize that waste of edible(可食用的) foods adds up much more at home,” said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who met in Boise for a conference on food waste an

30、d ways to prevent it. American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a cost of $4.5 billion per year. Thats almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs. He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to

31、 be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year. Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in

32、 large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more. His theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted a

33、t a 20% rate. If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if youre trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, Thats bound to be some waste. Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the

34、study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items are more likely to be wasted. The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is sp

35、oiled when it is not. 41. Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker_.A. thinks they are not deliciousB. says they taste bitter and hot C. thinks they smell badD. suspects they are spoiled when they are not42. American families throw out between_of edible food every year. A. 5% 8%B.

36、 8% 10%C. 20% 28%D. 8% 20%43. When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar_. A. went downB. went upC. stayed the sameD. was cut in half44. Which of the following statements is true?A.

39、 choose a name without giving thought to its marketing value. Some people opt for（選擇）using their own names; others may create a clever but obscure(模糊的) name, or one that has sentimental（感情上的）value. As a result, the names might end up costing them business, instead of attracting it. A common mistake

40、in choosing a name is selecting a misleading name; for example, calling a firm “Writing Services” while it actually produces medical equipment. Another mistake is choosing a name that is hard to spell or pronounce. It is also a mistake to select a name that is too general, such as ABC Company. Your

41、main goal should be to choose a name which your customers can easily remember whenever they want your product or service. A business name can be an effective and inexpensive 46 for a company.
