1,Zinc(锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other element work.

Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some substances were added to their food. One of these substances was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸盐) recovered in one half the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by a lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate.

The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining the blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs.

It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food makers should add the elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances. 1. Which of the following statements in NOT true?

2,Rich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that irritating(恼人的) colleague, that persistent disease, the investment that is turning into a huge loss.

How do we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life? The following suggestions may help.

It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and unreasonable boss. Sound familiar? One day I told her. \annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay.\This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. \every day as a bonus.\When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective. It's all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound(使更复杂) the frustration.

If you tell yourself there isn't a problem, there won't be one. It's all in the mind.

Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead. A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering help to others in a similar situation.

She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.

Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in and give up when

we meet difficulties? Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no commitment for what we pursue?

It was said that Albert Einstein's last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel.

Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son, \only I had more mathematics!\What a great persistent spirit! One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy. She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassin's bullet-Boddy Kennedy: \we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.\Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I've learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just don't care back.

And it's not the end of the world. After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it? It's what we do about that happens to us.

1. Which of the following may serve as an appropriate title for this passage?

A. How to Face Problems. B. How to Resolve Problems.

C. How to Hold on to Your Dream. D. How to Remain Cheerful. 2. \
