To hear most recent rearch tell it, coffee is a miracle drink. The magic beans will ward off skin cancer and Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症), reduce heart failure and diabetes（糖尿病）risks, heighten focus, and maybe even protect liver health. Oh, and decrea suicide risk, according to the newest study that validates our coffee addictions.
According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month in The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, people who drink two to four cups of java each day are less likely to commit suicide than tho who don’t drink coffee, drink decaf, or drink fewer than two cups each day. The study followed over 200,000 people for at least 16 years. And it’s not just a weak link: the rearchers found that the suicide risk was cut by around 50 percent for coffee addicts.
This isn’t the first time that rearchers have discovered that coffee and smiles might go hand-in-hand.
A 2011 study found that women who drink coffee cut their risk of depression by 15 percent compared to tho who don’t. Michel Lucas, the head rearcher of the most recent study, told The Huffington Post that coffee addicts can thank caffeine for the good news. The drug may actually act like a mild anti-depressant by tweaking levels of happy hormones .
Of cour, there’s plenty of rearch out there that doesn’t look so kindly upon coffee drinkers. Recently, the New Yorker published an article arguing that while coffee may heighten focus, that means it also puts a squeeze on creativity. And of cour, coffee’s well-known negative effects like insomnia(失眠症) and disturbed
sleep cycles still hold.
Regardless, we’ll rai our mugs to this most recent study for justifying our coffee addictions once again.

Passage 3
How many hundreds of heroes go unheralded（未宣布的）from the days of the Underground Railro
ad? While we celebrate such important figures as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, numerous others were needed to make the operation of the "railroad" a success. Runaway slaves had to be given shelter from weather and from arch parties. The tale of this awesome phenomenon is one of cooperation, coordination, and brotherly love.
The Underground Railroad operated as a cret organization dedicated to assisting runaway slaves from the South. The Railroad should not be thought of, however, as one cohesive body. It was in fact an ever-evolving organization devoted to one cau: protection of one's fellow men and women. It actually began during the colonial period.However, it reached its height in the decades preceding the American Civil War. Acts such as the “Fugitive Slave Act of 1850”（1850年逃奴追缉法案）incread railroad activity and popularity. The ultimate goal of the Underground Railroad was to accomplish the safe arrival of runaway slaves to Canada where the long arm of the law could not reach them. Laws such as the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 allowed slave owners to recapture escaped slaves and bring them back to bondage in the South.
Some historians believe this courageous organization was began by Quakers(贵格会教徒) in Pennsylvania and New Jery.Over time, the backbone of this organization became the numerous free blacks of the North. They were esntial to the successful operation of the Underground Railroa
d. In most cas, fleeing slaves traveled by any means necessary and often on their own in an effort to reach freedom in the North. After arriving in the North the people of the Underground Railroad would provide assistance and supplies in an effort to get them to the guaranteed freedom of Canada.
11 . Which of the following statements about the underground railroad is true ?
