The World Health Organization ( WHO) said that processed meat may lead to cancer.Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat? Here are some comments on the website.

Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short，pleasant life than a long，unhappy one，denying (拒绝给予）myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have—if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won，t change my habit. I am going to have a bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I feel like it.

Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking? I don't think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8. 2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0. 41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I'll take the chance.

Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rathersaying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.

Van ( China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians (素食者）.So for your health，the environment and future generations，it is not difficult ； it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets(彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot （积累奖金）in history.

More than 87 million tickets were bough t for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.

But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.

Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice, under the name of social progress.

If Kate McWilliams got a penny every time someone asked how old she was she would be on to a good thing.

Easyjet says the 26-year-old is its youngest ever commercial female airline captain.

She flies to around 100 destinations across the world and says most people “are pleasantly surprised and impressed” when she tells them her age.

But Kate isn't the youngest ever female captain.Ronan Milne got in touch with Newsbeat to say his colleague Dawn Hunter was made a captain aged 24 at Loganair.Sarah Hendry is also 24 and a captain with the same company.

Kate began flying in the air cadets(见习生) when she was 13 years old, but admitted to the Press Association that she never thought she could become a commercial pilot.However, following aviation training in Southampton, she joined easyJet as a co-pilot in May 2011.This August she took up the rank of captain after passing the airline’s command course.

“Personally I don’t think my age matters,” she said. “I’ve been through the same training and passed the same command course as every other captain so I’ve proven myself capable regardless of my age.”

Kate is originally from Carlisle, but now lives in Surrey so she can be near to Gatwick Airport.From there she flies Airbus A319 and A32 planes to locations across the world, including Iceland, Israel and Morocco.“I rarely fly to the same place twice in the same month,” she said. “That keeps things interesting.”

Around 5% of commercial pilots are women.Last year easyJet announced a plan to increase its number of female entrants to 12%.Julie Westhorp, chairwoman of the British Women Pilots’ Association (BWPA), hopes Kate will inspire more women to think about working in aviation.She says: “Both the BWPA and easyJet are aware of the importance of visible role models for girls and young women when making career choices and continue to work together to encourage young women to consider a pilot career.”

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technologic I shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars y there doesn't seem to be a dear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes unwilling to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education. 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in 8elf-driving cars is going up across the hoard, a person's age will have little to Ho with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.

1.Which of the following can be the influence of a new technology, according to the passage?

A. It often reads to great inventions in other related fields.

B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.

C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.

D.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.

2.Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?

A. It helps with their moving.

B. It saves their money and energy.

C. It adds to the safety of their travel.

D. It makes their life more interesting

3.What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?

A. The length of their driving experience.

B. The amount of training they received.

C. The location of their living place.

D. The field of their special interest.

With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, many people dream going abroad for further study. They insisted that there are more modern research facilities, world famous professors and excellent environment in some foreign colleges and universities, what lay a perfect foundation for their future development .Besides, there are still many people who is in favor of studying at home. They argue that, for one thing, studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesn't pay off. For another, there are no language and cultural difficulties if they study in our country. Just as the old saying going, "Every advantage has its disadvantage," so I believe both opinions are acceptable in some sense. If students have the chances and financial resources, you should seize the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their eyes. On the other hand, conditions not permitted, they can pursue their studies at top university in our country. It is not the place where they study but what they can learn in that counts.
