Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production began in China around 2,500 B.C., although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone telling the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished in prison.At one time silk was served only for the Chinese emperor. Step by step, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money.However, the Chinese finally lost their monopoly(垄断) on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B.C. when some Chinese people arrived there. Silke production came to India in 300 A.D. In 500 A.D., silk production came to Europe when travelers smuggled(偷运) out silkworms in empty pipes of bamboo. These were used to set up silk factories in Rome, although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. Especially the land route had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods were passed along this road.

Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in mens diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: Many people believe cancer is related to fate or in the genes(基因), and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change.For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight.In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134, 000 cancers in the UK each year.Some risk（风险） factors are well founded, such as smokings link with lung cancer. But others are less well recognized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost entirely by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely unrelated to lifestyle.Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems- giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.（1）What does the underlined word it, in the second paragraph, refer to?A . Change.B . Lifestyle.C . Cancer.D . Weight.（2）According to Professor Parkin, _.A . cancers are caused for genesB . some cancers will probably be avoidedC . most womens cancers are caused for no reasonD . men can keep an eye on their weight to avoid cancers（3）According to this passage, stomach cancer can be brought on by _.A . working overtimeB . taking in too much saltC . lack of exerciseD . smoking too much（4）What is the second factor causing womens cancer?（5）Give three things that we can do to reduce the risk of getting cancer.五、 阅读短文，回答问题 (共1题；共25分)7. （25分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。I work in a cleaning company.
