【題目】New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan（壽命）.

Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers, such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(復(fù)合物), which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a welth of health benefits.

A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States revealed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.

For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.

While the researchers are unable to identify the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifepan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖癥).

Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption.” However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the now research makes these findings more credible.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The study only goes for American people.

B. Red chili pepper can all-cause disease.

C. The compound protects people against obesity.

D. Onion consuming can reduce death risk.

【2】What is the finding of the new research mainly about?

A. Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.

B. Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.

【3】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”?

A. Convincing. B. Practical. C. Encouraging. D. Attractive.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】本文主要介紹的是關(guān)于吃紅辣椒可能有助于延長壽命的研究。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖癥).可知，這種化合物能有效對(duì)抗人體肥胖。故選C。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan（壽命）.可知，這項(xiàng)新的研究主要是關(guān)于吃紅辣椒可能有助于延長壽命的。故選D。

【3】A詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段These latest findings support those of the 2015 study 和However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the now research makes these findings more credible.可知，這項(xiàng)研究早期只在中國的成年人身上進(jìn)行過。而現(xiàn)在又有了最新的發(fā)現(xiàn)支持這樣研究，所以現(xiàn)在的研究使這些發(fā)現(xiàn)更可信了。故選A。

【題目】If your child is being bullied(欺負(fù)), there are ways to help him or her deal with it on a day-to-day basis and lessen its lasting effect.

If your child tells you about a bully, focus on offering comfort and support, no matter how upset you are. Kids are not willing to tell adults about bullying because they feel embarrassed and ashamed. 【1】

Sometimes kids feel like it’s their own fault. 【2】 Some kids are afraid that if the bully finds out that they have told others, it will get worse. Others are worried that their parents won’t believe them or do anything about it.

【3】 Remind your child that he or she isn’t alone. Emphasize that it’s the bully who is behaving badly — not your child. Comfort your child and say that you will find out what to do about it together.

Take it seriously if you hear that the bullying will get worse if the bully finds out that your child has told someone. 【4】 But in most cases, teachers are the best ones to contact first.
