that eating chocolate may also make people cleverer.
Dr. Bryan Raudenbush recently made a study to see if eating chocolate can make people cleverer. The
U. S. scientist knew that chocolate had several stimulants (兴奋剂). But he was not sure how these stimulants
did their job and thus made people clever.
To find out, Dr. Raudenbush gave the first group of people 85g of milk chocolate to eat and the second
group ate no chocolate at all. After 15 minutes, he tested their memory, and he also tried to see if they were
able to deal with problems right.
The first group had higher scores. They were able to remember more words and pictures than the second
group, and they could solve (解决) problems much faster. Dr. Raudenbush then decided that the stimulants
in chocolate could make people do things faster and better. And he suggested that if people wanted to do a
better job, eating chocolate from time to time may be of help.
Of course eating chocolate can"t make sure that you can study well without hard work. You"ll still need
to study hard to get good results.

called "Skulls" and "Dust", was discovered in July, 2004. Compared to computer viruses, these were
harmless, but proved that a virus could be spread across a mobile network.
But as mobile phone technology moves forward, so do the viruses and the people who create them.
Now many people use "pocket computers" such as PDAs and "smart-phones" which can receive multimedia
messages in different forms like photos, videos, and music, and the most recent virus, "Cabir", is spread by
opening these kinds of multimedia messages. This virus gets into the mobile phone or PDA and then makes
it stop working. In only six months the virus has spread across almost 20 countries across the world-that
shows that it could easily get into millions of phones and PDAs.
There are some viruses inside illegal (非法的) copies of games. These viruses take personal information
that is stored on someone"s phone, and use it to make money for the people who sent the virus. Sometimes
the viruses have a programme that makes expensive phone calls to high cost numbers. The result is a very
high phone bill for the victim (受害者).
In answer to this new threat (威胁), many new models of mobile phones and PDAs are now appearing
in stores with anti-virus software on them, just like computers.

C. "Skulls" and "Dust"

B. They are putting anti-virus software on new phones.
C. They are improving mobile technology.

surroundings (周围的事物). Then they can"t be seen easily.

| Each year, many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or family honor. But life can be bad for young people there. At first, they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服). To best children, controlling (管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in strange country. Yu Yang, a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto, Canada. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom push students to study abroad. And usually there isn"t too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do the activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year"s money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money. On the one hand, studying abroad can help students learn foreign languages quickly and en up their eyes, but on the other hand, some children may feel lonely, become bad, lose themselves, etc. Many problems may happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts. So parents should think them over before their children go abroad. | ||
