Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks, such as Monster, Red Bull and Rock Star, 【1】 causing heart problems and other life-threatening conditions, according to the findings of new researches.

During a presentation at the annual Cardiac Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA), researchers warned about the risk of allowing young children 【2】 to the energy drinks, which contain high amounts of caffeine(咖啡因) and other stimulants.

Researches 【3】 that the energy drinks are not intended for young children and are not safe for them to consume. Steven Lipshultz, M.D., lead author of the study, is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and bottles, warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them.

Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or bottle of energy drinks, since they are often 【4】 as dietary supplements (補(bǔ)充物), which allow the manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations.

Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in coffee houses, but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in 【5】 environments like coffee houses, which typically would not serve young children. Energy drinks are widely available in 【6】 stores next to traditional soft drinks, typically packaged in very similar cans and using similar marketing techniques.

Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400 mg of caffeine per can. In comparison, a cup of coffee typically has around 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine poisoning can occur in adults at levels higher than 400 mg a day; however, children under 12 can 【7】 caffeine poisoning at only 2.5 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight.

A study published in September 【8】 up the new findings, revealing energy drinks may cause serious heart problems. French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked to 【9】 risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death.

The FDA is 【10】 investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous negative event reports have been made in recent years connecting energy drinks to severe injuries and deaths.

【題目】Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.

I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.

To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.

【1】The underlined word “frustration” in the first paragraph means .

A. failure and setbacks B. words and problems

C. understanding and progress D. slang and idioms

【2】In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is .

A. only intended to help the Chinese-Americans

B. an organization which is set up to make a profit

C. of great use to people like the author

D. a school showing how to enjoy literature

【3】From the last paragraph we can learn that .

A. Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something

B. culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans

C. accusing others freely can be acceptable in America

D. culture differences have great influence on the people

【4】The purpose of the passage is .

A. to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in America

B. to share her experience of improving her English

C. to imply grammar rules are not important

D. to warn Chinese-Americans of English

【題目】How to stick to your own opinion in socializing ?

When it comes to your life , the opinion of others should matter very little . I am not talking about your friends and family , but others who have no importance in your reality – like your social peers and others like them . They are unimportant to your life , and yet you secretly struggle for approval at the cost of your own . Remember , your opinion is king .

Start by being your true self . Allowing your true self to appear and connect with people on a more real level helps them in turn do the same with you . There is openness and honesty in the interaction . At the end of the day this is what we all want – the joy of true and meaningful connections .

Next , evaluate your decisions . Are they representing who you are or are they the result of other people’s opinion ? Practice your ability not to be affected by pressure and learn to take nothing personally . When we are bothered by outer criticisms , it influences and changes our behavior . Don’t look to others for guidance on how to behave . Don’t look for approval . If you don’t need approval , you won’t have a reason to try to impress people or be impressed by them .

And finally , be real in EVERY situation . As you express your real self , others will think highly of you and the few who don’t – don’t matter anyway . Be willing to be judged , and then not take it to heart . If all this is a bit scary , then start small . Rather than not caring at all what others think , start by just caring a little less . No one outside your inner circle should get a vote or pass judgment or have influence on how you live your life .

【題目】Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. 【1】 .

Some people blame(責(zé)備) the fact that we are surrounded (包圍) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 【2】 , then probably children would buy less take-away food.

【3】 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. 【4】 . What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem. 【5】 , as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight

B. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier too

C. If there were fewer of these restaurants

D. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active

E. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food

F. I feel there are a number of reasons for this

G. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose
