[单项选择]

We were beginning to get more and more fed up with the "holiday by the sea". We always used to go to the south coast regularly for a fortnight every summer. There was not a chance to have a proper summer holiday last year, so we decided we’d better have some sort of a winter holiday. Some friends of ours told us we might not enjoy a skiing holiday, that it was always so cold you had to go skiing just to keep warm. We only had eight days instead of our normal fortnight a way. All together, with the return flight, accommodation (住宿), etc. , it came to about ￡ 135 for the three of us. And it was worth every penny, I mean. I work hard all the year round. I need a complete change and I’m willing to pay for it. I’d certainly recommend a holi day like this to anyone. We saved up for it;, by the way, by cutting down on luxuries.

What might be the purpose of a relaxing holiday （　）
A. It can not be a special treat.
B. It can be very cheap.
C. It can serve as a welcome change.
D. It means living without luxuries.

[单项选择]How do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not buy the argument that it is futile (无益的，无效的) to try to change eating habits. Once an intelligent person—and this includes adolescents — understands the need for a healthy diet, I think he or she will act accordingly. As for specific actions, I suggest that blood hemoglobin (血红蛋白) should be checked as a routine part of a youngster’s yearly physical examination. It should contain at least 11 grams per 100 milliliters (毫升) of blood for a girl and at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed iron supplement.
Adolescent—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be low in iron and other nutrients. Read the l
A. force young people to eat well-balanced meals
B. tell young people to eat liver, chicken, beef, or veal
C. teach adolescents about nutrition in home economics class
D. change eating habits to get enough iron and other essential nutrients
