My uncle set up a small business in our city four years ago. He is known as using iron from old cars to make beautifully art pieces. Last summer vacation, I visit him and he showed to me many of his works. Some are larger pieces looked like animals and humans, and others are smaller pieces you can put at home. He often encourages me to be creative like himself. The art tells people the important of environmental protection. What’s more, it shows that even irons can be brought back to life with little creativity.

Vitamin D is necessary for bone-building, immune function, blood sugar control, positive mood and more. 1. The lower your vitamin D level is, the higher your risk of death from ally cause will be. However, it’s not a great idea to just take a supplement (补品) off the drugstore shelf and start taking it.
Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D, also known as the “sunshine vitamin”, doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements, with doses ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 IU (International Units) per day, up to 50,000 IU per week and sometimes even more. 2. Very big doses ( 剂量) of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium ( 钙) in the blood, which leads to poor appetite, weakness, weight loss or other diseases. Here’s the bigger issue: 3. A build-up of stored vitamin D cart cause avoidable problems, leading to problems such as kidney stones.
4. The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for babies, children, and adults up to 70 years old. Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU, since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age. Because the fat cells take vitamin D up, making it less available for use by tile body, 5.
Though you’ll get a bit of vitamin D from foods—including fatty fish, beef liver, cheese, milk and so on—the amounts are so small that there’s little need to worry that they’ll put you over the daily dose.
A.It can help prevent many diseases.
B.We can actually reduce the risk of death.
C.people who are fat may also need more vitamin
D.any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body.
E.But like all good things, it’s possible to get too much of it.
F.The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age.
G.Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance.
A global group of scientists have reduced the time it takes to find and introduce disease-resistance genes from wild plants into domestic crops such as rice, wheat and potato, a research revealed on Tuesday.
Scientists from the John Innes Center in Britain, along with colleagues from Australia and the United States, have created a database known as AgRenSeq, where researchers can easily search for resistance genes already discovered in wild relatives of modern crops.
The study was co-authored by a global expert Professor HarbansBariana from the University of Sydney, who said that this technology will support the discovery and characterization of new sources of disease resistance in plants. Once researchers have identified resistance genes using AgRenSeq, they can clone them and introduce them to domestic crops to protect against diseases and pests,
“We have found a way to scan the genome(基因组)of a wild relative of a crop plant and pick out the resistance genes we need and we can do it in record time,” Dr. Brande Wulff, a project leader from the John Innes Centre, said.
“This used to be a process that took l0 Or 15 years and was like searching for a needle in a haystack(干草堆),” Wulff said. “We have perfected the method so that we can clone these genes in a matter of months and for just thousands of dollars instead of millions.”
The team are highly optimistic about their work, predicting it to be utilized in protecting many crops with wild relatives including soybeans, pea, cotton, potato, wheat, rice, banana and cocoa. “Using speed cloning and speed breeding we could deliver resistance genes into the best varieties within a couple of years, like a phoenix(凤凰) rising from the ashes,” Wulff added.
1.How have the researchers developed the resistance genes?
A.By reducing the research time.
B.By introducing them to wild plants.
C.By cloning them from domestic crops.
D.By getting resistance genes from wild plants.
2.What will be the use of the study in the future?
A.It will protect crops from being damaged by pests.
B.It will create a database for researchers to search.
C.It will protect domestic crops for 10 to 15 years.
D.It will contribute to reducing the wild plants.
3.Which of the following best explains “utilized” underlined in Paragraph 6?
A.Produced. B.Made.
C.Used. D.Studied.
4.What can we infer from what Brande Wulff said?
A.The resistance genes cost millions of dollars.
B.The resistance genes were found in a haystack.
C.It took the researchers ten years to find the resistance genes.
D.Disease-resistance genes will be put into practice soon.
Arthur Phillip High School, located in Parramatta, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, will be NSW’s first public high-rise high school. When it opens, the school will be different from anything else we’ve got across the system.
Students will eat lunch in courtyards overlooking city rooftops, before continuing their lessons in sound-proofed music rooms, science labs or atriums ( 中 庭 ) with eight metre-high ceilings. The specialty rooms, such as science labs, will be on the top floors. There will be large lifts, but students will be encouraged to use the stairs. There will be a gym, a play ground and play space on each floor.
The building will be run more like an office block than a traditional school, with a plant room used for the operation of the sprinklers（洒水装置）, air conditioning and elevator systems. In addition, people will be seen cleaning the windows while students are studying.
“We’re going to have to get kids used to that,” said Sylvia Corish, an executive director of school performance for the NSW Department of Education. “That’s going to be a unique experience.”
“This is a very different concept,” said the chief executive of School Infrastructure NSW, Anthony Manning. “While it has been challenging at times, the end product is going to be really amazing and impressive.”
“I am very surprised and happy to see how creative this learning space will be for students in the Parramatta region for years to come,” Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said.
The Herald visited the new high school, as construction of the ambitious project enters its final phase and students at the original school across the road prepare to begin testing its state-of-the-art facilities. In the next few months, students and teachers will visit the school to help ensure a smooth transition （过渡）. “It will be a matter of testing how people can move around the building,” Mr Manning said.
1.How’s the school in appearance?
A.It looks like an office building. B.It is like a traditional school.
C.It’s surrounded by green plants. D.It consists of different buildings.
2.How did Sarah Mitchel feel about the new school?
A.Amazed and impressed. B.Surprised and doubtful.
C.Delighted and astonished. D.Happy and satisfied.
3.Which might be a challenge?
A.Moving the original school from across the road.
B.Getting the students accustomed to the new situation.
C.Providing the students with more space for studying.
D.Encouraging the students to use the stairs instead of the lift.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.NSW’s First Public High-rise High School
B.A New School that Overlook City Roofs
C.The Construction and System of a New School
D.A Unique Experience for High School Students
