Id never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.“Oh, lets just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, whats wrong?” I asked. “Im sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage Ive ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jacks as I blinked away (眨掉) tears.

Eat BlueberriesAside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon (结肠) cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.2. Drink Pomegranate (石榴)JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may stop the growth of lung cancer.3. RelaxFeeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were pleted, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!4. Take Selenium (硒)Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate (前列腺) cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.5. Eat Sushi (寿司)Seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins A and C. Sushi rolls are also high in protein a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. So dont skimp (节省) on the Sushi!6. Enjoy the OutdoorsVitamin D causes early death of cancer cells. A study published in the American Journey of Clinical Nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international. Units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer over a four-year period than did women taking a placebo (无效对照剂). Experts remend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1,100 to 2,000IU of vitamin D each day.7. Breathe Clean AirTheres no question that secondhand smoke kills. A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen (致癌物质) in their urine (尿) than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. Whats worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked. Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke. 8. Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis (转移性) prostate cancer than men who didnt work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study. 46. To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat _ as often as possible.A. sushi B. blueberries C. pomegranates D. vitamin D47. A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if _.A. he is very fond of exercise every day.B. he enjoys having fun in the sun C. he is always feeling extremely stressed or worriedD. he likes to have meals in restaurants48. _ will remarkably reduce the risk of mens prostate cancer.A. Having a daily supplement of seleniumB. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every dayC. Breathing fresh air now and thenD. Taking exercise at least once a week49. If you want to keep cancer away, it is particularly important to _.A. have a daily supplement of vitamins B and CB. try to ignore the secondhand smokingC. take in as many selenium-containing supplements as possibleD. having exercise as often as possibleCWhen she returned home after a year in South America, Judith Martin, a North American writer, began to have a problem. People kept interpreting her behavior as aggressive, but that was not right. Fairly soon she figured out what was happening.When most South Americans talk to each other face-to-face, they stand closer together than North Americans do. Martin had not readjusted to North American distances. Apparently, she had forgotten about the phenomenon known as personal space the amount of physical distance people expect during social interaction. Everyone has expectations concerning the use of personal space, but accepted distances for that space are determined by each persons culture.Observations about personal space began about twenty years ago. Anthropologist Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the field. He became very interested in how interpersonal distances affected munication between people. In his book The Hidden Dimension, Hall invented the word “proxemics” to describe peoples use of space as a means of munication. As Halls book title indicates, most people are unconscious that interpersonal distances exist.Personal space depends on invisible boundaries. Those boundaries move with people as they interact. Personal space gets larger or smaller depending on the circumstances of the social interaction at any moment. People do not like anyone to trespass (侵犯) on their personal space. As Cooper explains, invasions of personal space bring about negative reactions.Researchers working with Halls data found that accepted interpersonal distances in the United States also depend on other factors. For example, subcultures help determine expectations concerning personal space. Fisher, Bell, and Baum report that groups of Hispanic-Americans generally interact more closely within their subculture than Anglo-Americans do within theirs. They further explain that in general subcultural groups tend to interact at closer distances with members of their own subculture than with nonmembers.Age also affects how people use personal space. Cooper reports that North American children seem unaware of boundaries for personal space until the age of four or five. As the children get older they bee more aware of standards for personal space. By the time they reach puberty (青春期), they have pletely adapted to their cultures standards for interpersonal distances.Gender (性别) also influences peoples use of personal space. For example, North American males most negative reaction is reserved for anyone who enters their personal space directly in front of them. Females, on the other hand, feel most negative about approaches from the side. Also, females have smaller interpersonal distances than males do, although pairs of the same sex municate across larger spaces than do pairs of males and females. The gender factor changes, however, in high-density situations such as crowded subways or elevators in the United States. As Maines observes, when people have some choice about where they stand or sit in crowded settings, they choose people of the same sex.As international travel and merce increase, intercultural contact is being monplace. Soon, perhaps, cultural differences in expectations for personal space will be as familiar to everyone as are cultural differences in food and dress. Until then, people need to make a special effort to learn one anothers expectations concerning personal space. Once people are sensitive to such matters, they will not go either away from or toward a person from another culture.50. Judith Martins experience tells that interpersonal distance in social interaction is determined by _. A. personal preference B. cultural backgroundC. social awareness D. geographical features51. According to Hall, _. A. people are unaware that personal space affects municationB. personal space in social interaction is used quite regularlyC. people show not enough interest in learning about interpersonal distancesD. people doubt that personal space affects munication52. Which of the following can be implied from the first four paragraphs?A. Judith Martin went to South America to explore about personal space,B. Being unaware of interpersonal distance may lead to disfort.C. Nobody has ever noticed the existence of personal space phenomenon.D. People dont like those who are trying to keep distance in munication.53. According to the passage, which fact makes no contribution to the decision of interpersonal distance?A. culture B. gender C. age D. education54. By “they will not go either away from or toward a person from another culture”, the writer means _.A. people try their best to avoid embarrassment by knowing more about cultureB. People are always afraid that they might take a wrong step when talking C. people can keep appropriate personal distance in munication D. people will choose to approach the right person to ask about the culture thingD About this time every year, I get very nostalgic (怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small
