As we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles and maintaining a youthful body． 1. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals how to keep your voice youthful．
Drink more fluid and avoid spicy food
You need water for the vocal cords（声带）to vibrate well．The body must keep absorbing enough water to make the vocal cords operate well．Drinking 1．5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important．2.
Rest the throat and talk regularly
The vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough．If you have a case of laryngitis（喉炎）with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice．
Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important．“As older people have less mobile, they can become socially isolated and speak less,” says Mr. Rubin．“The elderly need to communicate with people more．3. ”
4.
Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we’d better stand properly．Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone．
Sing in the shower
This is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates the voice box．“ 5. ” says Mr. Rubin．Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone．
A．Improve your posture
B．By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down．
C．But people often don’t realize the voice needs looking after．
D．The Voice of Young Science programme encourages early career researchers to play an active role in public debates about science．
E．Singing is to the voice what gymnastics are to human beings．
F．Using the vocal cords regularly will definitely age our voice more quickly．
G．Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate．

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.
Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.
I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.
“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.
The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.
In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.
Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.
1.Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?
A. He was an excellent swimmer.
B. The water of the river is shallow.
C. He was old enough to swim.
D. The rocks can be of help if there's danger.

A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids
B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks
C. Anton always has a desire to help others
D. Anton seldom changes his mind
3.In the mother's eyes, what her son did was_________.
A. dangerous but interesting B. meaningful but difficult
C. unexpected and courageous D. awful and absurd
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. My Son, My Hero B. Anton, A Silent Boy
C. A Good Deed D. A Proud Mother

You may never think a documentary film could have aroused so much public enthusiasm in Chinese history. Nowadays everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary landscape.
According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.
However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”
How will a varied and ancient food culture that is famous worldwide and which should have made the Chinese proud end? Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry has made people a little worried due to some severe food safety crisis. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for immoral businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. Therefore, food safety problems should be an important concern of Chinese government so that our ancient food culture can be preserved.
As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and safe.
1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_______.
A. delicious food B. latest technology
C. beautiful clothes D. great inventions
2.The second paragraph mainly talks about_______.
A. the content of the documentary
B. the producer of the documentary
C. the popularity of the documentary
D. the history of Chinese gourmet
3.We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that _______.
A. the price of food is too high for many common people
B. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director
C. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality
D. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture
4.According to the passage, China’s food industry has a problem of faking and cheating because_______.
A. there are still so many poor people at the present time
B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough
C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so
D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developing countries

When people find out that the product they bought is unsatisfying or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims , the first step is to present the warranty , or any other records which might help , at the store of purchase .

If so , the consumer should do this , stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible . If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result , the consumer can go to a step further . She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights .
