The authorities (当局) Wednesday set standards for melamine (三聚氰胺) levels in milk and related food products to ease fears following a contaminated milk powder incident．

The limits were set at 1 mg per kg for infant formula (婴儿配方奶粉)，and 2.5 mg per kg for other dairy products including liquid milk，according to a．joint statement issued by five government agencies

including the Ministry of Health．

Melamine can lead to some problems like kidney (肾) stones．The chemical has been blamed for the deaths of at least four babies，and more than 54，000 children have fallen ill after being fed such kind of milk formula．

Wang Xuening，an official with the health ministry，told a press conference。Wednesday that it is almost impossible to keep the melamine level at zero as small amounts of the chemical can leak from packaging into milk and other food products．But he warned that“purposely adding is clearly forbidden”．

“Those who add melamine to food products will bear the legal responsibility，”he said．

Chen Junshi，a researcher at Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention，said，“The limits will help inspectors．judge whether melamine was purposely added．”

“If the amount is more than 1 mg per kg，WC have reason to believe it was intentionally added．”

Some dairy suppliers have been found to add melamine to milk to make it appear protein-rich in tests．

Health authorities said the new limits are in line with international standards，and recognized by the World Health Organization and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization．

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said last week that 2.5 mg of melamine per kg would not cause health problems but added that any infant formula sold to the US must be free of melamine．

Standards in Hong Kong and New Zealand also set a safe melamine limit in food products of 2.5 mg per kg，though Hong Kong has lowered the level for children under 3 and pregnant or lactating (producing milk) women to 1 mg per kg．

41．The underlined word“contaminated”in Paragraph 1 most probably means in Chinese ．

A．包含的 B．污染的 C．限制的 D．取缔的

42．What is the best title of the passage?

A．The World Health Organization sets a melamine limit in milk products．

B．The US Food anti Drug Administration sets a melamine limit in milk products．

C．The Chinese health authorities sets a melamine limit in milk products．

D．The UN Food and Agriculture Organization sets a melamine limit in milk products．

43．Some dairy suppliers add melamine to milk ．

A．to make it smell more pleasant

B．to make it taste more delicious

C．to make it look more attractive

D．to make it appear richer in protein

44．The new melamine limits set by the Chinese health authorities are ．

A．2.5 mg per kg for infant formula and other dairy products

B．1 mg per kg for infant formula and other dairy products

American women experience a great variety of lifestyle．A typical American woman may be single．She may also be divorced or married．She may be a homemaker，a doctor，or a factory worker．It is very difficult to generalize(概括) about American women．However，one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about themselves and their roles in American life．

Historically，American women have always been very independent．The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended (big)families．The women were alone in a new．undeveloped country with their husbands．This has two important effects．First of all，this was the uncivilized environment that demanded every person should share in developing it and in survival．Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land．Second，because they were in a Flew land without the established(已确立的)influence of older members of society，women felt free to step into nontraditional roles．

This role of women was strengthened in later years as Americans moved west again，leaving families behind and meeting a new environment．Even later．in the east，as new settlers arrived，women often found jobs more easily than men．Women became the supporters of the family．

Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century．the strong role of women was not attractive as in the early days Of the country．Some women stepped into the men’s jobs as factory and business workers．After the war，some women stayed in these positions，and others left their jobs with a Hew sense of ability．

49．The second paragraph is mainly about ．

A．American settlers’ life in the new land

B．American women’s independence

C．American men’s traditional position

D．American women’s roles in socicty

A．the Second World War B．the Westward Movement

C．the early immigration(移民) D．the industrialized twentieth century

52．What is the ninth idea of the passage?

A．American women’s lifestyle changed with the times．

B．American women were free t0 enter nontraditional roles in society．

C．American women worked hard to make their own history．

D．American women were independent because they didn’t have to follow the

“My smmr hols wr CWOT．B4，we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro，his GF & 3 kds FTF．”

The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant．The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages．Text messages(also called SMS)through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s．At first，mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would he a good way to send messages to customers．but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other．Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging，and they began to create a new language for messages called“texting．”

A text message is limited t0 160 characters，including letters，spaces and numbers，so messages must be kept short．fn addition，typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult，so it’s common to make words shorter．In texting，a single letter or number Can represent a word，like“r”for“are”，“u”for“you”，and“2”for“to”．Several letters Can also represent a phrase．1ike“Iol”for“laughing out loud”．Another characteristic of texting is the leaving-out of letters in a word．1ike spelling“please”as“pls”．

Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and had writers．The students who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her．(The essay said，“My summer holidays were a complete waste of time．Before，we used t0 g0 to New York to see my brother，his girlfriend，and three kids face to，face．”)

Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing．Some experts say languages always develop，and this is just another way in which English is changing．Other people believe texting will disappear soon．New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past．

Early one morning，more than a hundred years ago，an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep．He had been working all night Oil the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle．

Though he was tired，Howe slept badly．He turned and turned．Then he had a dream．He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages(野人)whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine．When he tried to do so，Howe ran into the same problem as before．The thread kept getting caught around the needle．The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe．They came up towards him with their spears(矛)raised．But suddenly the inventor noticed something．There was a hole ill the tip of each spear．The inventor awoke from the dream，realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem．Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle，he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle．This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine．

Dear fellow students.

There is a serious phenomenon in our school. We find many students will crowd in the school store to buy snacks after each class. Some students even eat snacks in class.

Eating snacks is a bad habit and is also a waste of money. In addition，most snacks are unhealthy fond，for they contain too much fat and sugar. Eating snacks improperly may lead to fatness and illness. What is worse，some students throw the wrappers everywhere，which pollutes our campus.

Dear fellow students，we shouldn’t act like kids any more. We high school students should develop god habits. Remember that three regular meals a day as well as a balanced diet are essential for us. Let’s form good eating habits and say no to snacks!
