I didnt know why.“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,”Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you cant get where you want to go by one road, try another.”Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didnt think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home.

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（風(fēng)險(xiǎn)） 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(膽囊癌), 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.14. （10分） Dogs are friends of man. They work for us. They hunt with us. They also play with us. But a long time ago, all over the world, dogs were wild. Dogs can go back to the Stone Age. All dogs had the same ancestor (祖先). It is believed that this ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, like fox, also came from this ancestor. Thousands of years ago, man began to tame (使馴服) the wild dogs. When the dogs were tamed, they were trained well. The strong dogs then became working animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads (擔(dān)子). They learned to keep watching over sheep and other animals. Working dogs could do other things, too. Some dogs were not strong. But they could help man hunt. Other dogs were best at pets. At first, there were only a few kinds of dogs. Today, there are more than 100 kinds.（1）The word “wild” in the first paragraph means _.A . 溫順的B . 野生的C . 兇殘的D . 善良的（2）Dogs can go back to the Stone Age.

So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Following are some basic rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you dont know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetingsSecond, consider the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You ca bring some clothes such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.Avoid topics（話題） that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but dont ask questions about why things are done a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection in public isnt allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from c
