"Drink your milk. It's good for you!" You've probably heard that many times, and it's true. Milk has calcium（钙）which is a necessary nutrient（营养）for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The U.S. government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.

　　 Last Thursday, however, a group of doctors asked the government to remove milk from the lunch program. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says, "Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein（蛋白质）. All of them have bad effects on health." The PCRM says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium. For example, they can eat beans (大豆)and tofu. Orange juice that has calcium added to them also has the nutrient. "The most important reason why parents talk about milk, or want their children to drink it, is that it is going to help build strong bones9" says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get the calcium that your body needs.

　　 Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that affect your bone strength, such as genes(基因), how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour's worth of exercise every day.

　　 Some nutritionists (营养学家) disagree with the idea that milk isn't important. Keri G.ans, a nutritionist, says, "I don't think it is good to take milk away from children, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day."

　　 The U.S. government is studying the problem, but a decision may be a long way off. At the same time, Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University, puts it best, "Milk has been proved to have nutrients. But other foods have the same nutrients. It's just a food. Like other foods, too much might be a problem."

One hundred years ago, there were no MP5s, CDs, or even records! If you wanted to hear a song, you sang it or played it yourself.

　　 By the 1920s, all of that had changed. As people bought record players and radios, they could listen to music without learning to play it first. But recording a gramophone record (唱片)was difficult because the song had to be played perfectly all at a time. And people at home couldn't record their own sounds.

　　 Then a new invention came along that made music much easier to record and play. Magnetic tape（磁带）allowed different parts of a performance to be cut and joined together, so that mistakes could be corrected. So by the 1950s, people could listen to music on their tape players. Although these early tape players were pretty big, they allowed common people to record their own sounds at home!

　　 However, if you wanted to listen to your own music in your car in the 1950s! you were out of luck. But not for long! In the 1960s, a new product came along: eight-track (8轨音频). Eight-track players were smaller and were built into some cars. But if you wanted to listen to music while walking at the side of a street, you had to wait until the-1970s. That's the time that brought us the cassette tape (盒式磁带). Finally, the 1980s gave us the Walkman, a small cassette player that came with little headphones（耳机）.

　　 The main music breakthrough of the 1990s was the popularity (流行)of the CD player. With a tape player, you had to listen to songs in order. And tapes used to get tangled(乱成一团) ! The CD changed all that. The quality of music on a CD was higher than that on a tape, and more music could fit on one CD.

　　 But that isn't the end of the story. Step into the 21st century, and there are MP3s, then MP4s, MP5s... I believe you know better than I do!

29.(　　 ) What's the disadvantage of recording a gramophone record?

　　 A. It's too expensive.

　　 B. It's difficult to operate.

　　 C. There cannot be any mistakes at a time.

　　 D. Only one gramophone record can be recorded at a time.

30.(　　 ) Which of the following shows the correct order of the following inventions?

①the magnetic tape　　　 ②the cassette tape　 ③the gramophone record

④ the Walkman　　 ⑤the eight-track player

A.③⑤①④②　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.③①③②④

C.①④③⑤②　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.①③⑤②④

(　　 ) 31. What does the underlined word "breakthrough" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

　　 A. Problem　　 　　 B. Achievement　 　 C. Kind　　 　 D. Difficulty

　　 That summer when I was 11, I spent two weeks with my grandparents in a small town. There were no other kids nearby. "I'm 　16　 ," I said. "There is nothing to do here."

　　 "Oh, there is plenty to do," Grandma said. So we crossed the street. I saw a cinema. "I love films!" I said to myself. But Grandma walked right 　17　 the cinema. She stopped at a bookshop.
