A new report says people will eat 176 million tons of sugar by 2015. That’s about 20 percent more than that in 2010. While this may be good for the sugar industry, it is not good for the heart. Sugar is close to heart disease.
Dr. Vos shows eating a lot of sugar can make one fat. And that may bring the chance for heart disease. Eating sugar can also do harm to your health.
The researchers studied more than 6,000 adults for at least six years. According to the amount of sugar they ate every day, the volunteers were divided into five groups. The highest group ate an average of 46 teaspoons of sugar. The lowest group ate only about three teaspoons.
“We found that people who ate more added sugar are more likely to have heart disease,” said Dr. Vos.
The researchers say if people want to be far away from heart disease, they should be more aware of how much sugar is in their food, and put it less, if possible. And most American women should not eat more than 100 calories of sugar every day; most men, no more than 150 calories.
Soft drinks are the number one for people to eat sugar in the American diet.
47. If you eat too much sugar, you are likely to have _________.
A. heart disease B. a fever C. a stomachache D. a cold
48. What’s WRONG about the research
A. Volunteers were divided into five groups.
B. The groups were divided by the amount of sugar they ate every day.
C. The researchers studied more than 6,000 children.
D. The research lasted for at least six years.
49. In America, how much sugar should a man eat per day
A. 46 teaspoons. B. 3 teaspoons. C. No more than 100 calories. D. No more than 150 calories.
50. What is (are) the number one for people to eat sugar in the America diet
A. Bread. B. Salad. C. Soft drinks. D. Wine.
51. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Americans like eating sugar. B. Eating too much sugar can make people have heart disease.
C. People will eat 176 million tons of sugar by 2015.
D. Many people like to be tested.

Two months ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended. The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert.
The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other's jokes. By the third day of driving in the desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when Chris saw some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. Chris drove very quickly to catch up with the kangaroos. We got closer and closer-- too close -- when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a large kangaroo lying completely still on the ground. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I took out my camera. While I was focusing (调整焦距) the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, and ran away before we could do anything.

Many wedding ceremonies usually take place in the church, but some are outside in the park or in the garden. The groom stands in front of the guests, and the bride should walk up through the guests. When she walks to the groom, everyone stands and cheers.
After their wedding, ceremony, the guests will go to the reception. Sometimes it’s a buffet (自助餐); other times it’s just snacks, cake and drinks. The groom and the bride will be glad to cut the big fancy cake together for all.
