    It is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.
—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
—Remove your hook quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to   struggle and is able to swim.
—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are   going to release a fish, do so right away.
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets.But for all the progress, people still don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “feast of conversation”-events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from?”
Mr.Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives.The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years?” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past?”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain.Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another.“We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says.“But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer.The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours.But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up.“What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”
Some said they felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics.Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”
【小题1】What can the “conversations” be best described as?

A.Deep and one-on-one.B.Sensitive and mad.
C.Instant and inspiring.D.Ordinary and encouraging.
【小题2】In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.
A.pair freely with anyone they like
B.have a guided talk for a set of period of time
C.ask questions they themselves would not answer
D.wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features.
【小题3】In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.
A.they would have physical contactB.they would have in-depth talk
C.they would be close friendsD.they would exchange basic information
【小题4】From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.
A.an attempt to promote thinking interaction
B.one of the maddest activities ever conducted
C.a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideas
D.an effort to give people a chance of talking freely

Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入,摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.
Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units(IU)a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.
The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.
“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.
61. According to the passage, people are advised to take more Vitamin D, because__.
A. it is nutritious             B. it can‘t harm people’s health
C. it can lower cancer risk      D. it is not taken enough every day
62. Which of the following can not help people get more Vitamin D?
A. Have some sunshine        B. Have more meat
C. Have more fortified cheese   D. Have a vitamin supplement
63.Who can Garland probably be?
A. A health researcher        B. A doctor   
C. A scientist               D. A public health official
64.Which of the following food can lower people‘s chance of getting cancer?
A. Milk                    B. Fortified orange juice
C. Fortified yogurt           D. All of the above
65.People from which area should take more Vitamin D according to the passage?
A. Asian people               B. African people 
C. American people            D. European people
