Text 1
There is nothing like the joy of finding out that something sinful is actually good for your, whether it’s x, chocolate or a glass of fine red wine—or , for that matter, beer, whisky or a satisfying aperitif. We’ve long heard exciting hints that red wine has unique benefits for the heart. But the same sunny reputation for heart health is now staring to shine on all liquor. “No matter where you look, the dominant alcoholic beverage is beneficial—whether it’s red wine in France and Italy, sake in Japan or beer in Germany,” says Dr. Walter Willett, chair of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.热呼呼的恋曲
This has led rearchers to an inescapable conclusion. As healthful as components of red wine may be, the primary benefit must come form ethanol itlf. In short, it’s the alcohol, stupid. But don’t go overboard. Protection comes only with light to moderate intake – two drinks a day for men or a mirly one a day for women.
The majority benefit of alcohol ems to come form its ability to boost levels of HDL, the good cholesterol that helps keep arteries clear of plaque. Ethanol does that by signaling the liver to make more of a substance called Apo A1, the major protein in HDL. The effects can be striking.
“Depending on the individual, you can get increas of 10 to 30 percent in HDL in a week,” says Harvard epidemiologist Eric Rimm. Alcohol also makes blood less sticky and less likely to form clots that cau heart attacks and strokes. It also appears to have mild anti-inflammatory effects. And it enhances insulin nsitivity—which may explain why moderate alcohol consumption correlates with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes.
But alcohol is a dietary Jekyll and Hyde. Heavy intake can rai blood pressure, increa irregular heartbeat, and lead to heart failure. The most sobering news concerns cancer. A recent analysis of 156 studies found that as alcohol intake increas, so do risks of tumors in the mouth, and liver. Even moderate drinking can boost breast-cancer risk a small amount.
Is moderate drinking worth the risks? For some people—pregnant women, people with liver dia or a history of alcoholism—the answer is no. but for most of us, the benefits will probably outweigh the hazards. Whether you sip wine, beer or spirits, your heart may thank you.
21. According to Dr. Walter Willett, for good health, people could drink
[A] only red-wine. [B] beer. [C] some whisky. [D] any alcohol.
22. It can be inferred from Para 3 that
[A] alcohol can lower the risk of plaque in arteries.
[B] some components of wine is bad for health.
[C] chocolate is good for health.
[D] alcohol can be ud as medicine.
23. By using the word “correlates” (Line 7, Paragraph 3), the author implies that
[A] drinking alcohol might cau diabetes.
[B] both types of diabetes are related to alcohol consumption.
[C] drinking alcohol is good for people with diabetes.

[D] drinking alcohol might lower the risk of diabetes.
24. By “alcohol is a dietary Jekyll and Hyde”, the author means
[A] drinking alcohol can be of both advantage and disadvantage.
[B] alcohol is necessary for daily diet.

[D] Alcohol is beneficial to most people.
冬天作文200字Text 2
There has been much talk recently of the “Wal-Martization” of America, a reference to the giant retailer’s enthusiastic attempts to keep its costs—and therefore its prices—at rock-bottom levels. But for years, even during the 1990s boom, much of Corporate America had already embraced Wal-Mart-like strategies to control labor costs, such as hiring temps and part-timers, fighting unions, dism
antling internal career ladders, and outsourcing to lower-paying contractors at home and abroad.
While the tactics have the admirable outcome of holding down consumer prices, they’re costly in other ways. More than a quarter of the labor force, about 34 million workers, is trapped in low-wage, often dead-end jobs, according to a new book entitled Low-Wage America: How Employers Are Reshaping Opportunity in the Workplace. Many middle-income and high-skilled employees face fewer opportunities, too, as companies shift work to subcontractors and temp agencies and move white-collar jobs to India.
The result has been an erosion of one of America’s most cherished values: giving its people the ability to move up the economic ladder over their lifetimes. Historically, most Americans, even low-skilled ones, were able to find poorly paid factory jobs, then gradually climb into the middle class as they gained experience and moved up the wage curve. But the number of workers progressing upward began to slip in the 1970s, when the post-World War II productivity boom ran out of steam. Upward mobility diminished even more in the 1980s as globalization and technology slammed blue-collar wages.
Many experts expected the trend to rever as productivity rebounded during the heated economy of
the 1990s. Certainly, there were plenty of gains. The long decline in pay rates turned around as supertight labor markets raid the wages of almost everyone. College enrollment
boomed, too, and home ownership shot up, extending the American dream to more families. Low interest rates and higher wages allowed even tho on the bottom to benefit.
But new rearch suggests that, surprisingly, the best economy in 30 years did little to get America’s boasted upward mobility back on track. The new studies paint a paradoxical picture: Even as the U.S. economy was bursting with wealth in the 1990s, minting dot-com millionaires by the thousands, conventional companies were cutting the middle out of career ladders, leaving fewer people able to better their economic position over the decade.
During the 1990s, relative mobility – that is, the share of Americans changing income quintiles in any direction, up or down – slipped by two percentage points, to 62% .Esntially, says Nobel laureate James J. Heckman, “the big finding in recent years is that notion of America being a highly mobile society isn’t as true as it ud to be.”

[A] to fight with unions for its workers’ benefits.
