Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb Calcium. Calcium as you know is essential for maintaining heatyl bones & teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious bone diseases. So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people's diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That' s because the body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here's how it works: when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our SKIN, the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form & a substance called calciferol is produced. Calciferol is what carries the calcium to our bones. If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to it's active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium that we have consumed in our food . Eventually we would suffer FROM A calciumdeficiency and have weak bones. Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. Except in extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don't drink very much milk take vitamin supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun everyday.36. Why is vitamin D important?37. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?38. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to it's active form?39. According to the speaker, what might happen to the people who stay in doors all the time?Q40 - 43 Conversation between two friendsHey! You got a new television.Yeah! It was delivered yesterday, what do you think of it?It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room.I know. I know, you don't think it's, well, excessive, do you?I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old & didn't work well, I thought you can afford it, why not get a new one?It must've been expensive?Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% offReally? Where?At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size & quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off. Yeah. But 50% off what?2,400 dollars.You spent $ 1,200 on a TV?It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I didn't think you watch TV that much. Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.Honestly, yes. And you know what, and I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make & model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.I think you are right.40. What is the main topic of the conversation?41. What does the woman suggest the man do?42. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation?43. What is the man's attitude toward the television?Q44 - 47 Talk (astronomy discovery)As you begin your study of the heavens, you may feel that the odds of your making any impact on the field of astronomy are impossibly low. But in fact important breakthroughs can come from student work. You may have heard in the media that the examples of one of the most illusive objects in the cosmos the brown dwarf were found by a 27 - year - old student Clare Briadger. Scientists all over the world had been searching for more than 50 years and yet the discovery wasmade by someone still in graduate school. When Ms. Briadger presented a paper at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, her talk was for me the highlight of the meeting. There was considerable agreement that what she had found was indeed the illusive Brown Dwarf. For those of you who don' t yet know, Brown Dwarfs are these gaseous bodies that are too large to be planets, but not massive enough to ignite into full - blown stars. While others spent their time studying what shows up big and bright in the heavens, Ms. Briadger searched for the small and faint. She spent about 2 years at a computer scanning and classifying pin- points of light within clusters of stars. She sometimes worked 100 hours in a single week. Then finally she was able to isolate a number of points that seemed to be actual Brown Dwarfs. Her discovery may help to explain how stars form and thus answer some of our questions about the ultimate of the universe.44.Whom is the speaker probably addressing?45.What does the speaker mean when she talks about making an impact on the field of astronomy?46.Who made the discovery that is being discussed?47.Why are Browfs Dwarves important?Q48 50 (Conversation)Hey, Sam! You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpionI didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts.Well, the deadly Kind do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico.I thought all scorpion were dangerous.No, only about 25 kinds are lethal to humans, Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada.Where in Canada? Not around here?Well, mostly Sakatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too.Is the Canadian kind poisonous?Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica.Why? Is it too cold there?There must be other reasons. Because according to this article scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these Experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away.It was still alive?Yeah. But what's most amazing is that they also survived the radiation levels 200 times what would kill a human. No wonder they’ve outlived the dinosaurs.Listen. I've gotta run. But I really like a copy of that article.No problem. I'll make one for you.48. How did the woman learn about the scorpions?49. Where do the two students probably live?50. What did the scientists experiments show about the scorpion?。
