    WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday．

    People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study

 of 60,000 people in Singapore found．

    Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other

poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study．

    “The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰島素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”Pereira said in a statement．

    Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and colleagues

said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years．

    Over that time，140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer．Those who drank two or

more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got

pancreatic cancer．

   Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。

  “Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are

eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．

    But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．

   “Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of

cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not�！眘aid Mayne．

who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for

Cancer Research．

    Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In

the United States，37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die

of it．

Dear Sir,

How are you? As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others. My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise. Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem. If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building and as near to the school campus as possible. I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.

Best wishes.

　　                                                       Yours sincerely,

　                                                   　        Li Ming

三、閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分； 滿分30分）

A

On a cold winter morning in the late 1930s, Bobby awoke early. It was a day that Bobby would never forget. Bobby, his brother and his mother were once again abandoned(拋棄) by his father. When times got hard, the man left home. Bobby wasn’t surprised. He must take the responsibility for caring for his family.

He put on the warmest clothes he had and pulled on his old socks and torn shoes. After thinking of a way to keep his feet dry, he went outside looking for work.

Coming across some men working on the road, he joined in and worked hard for hours. Suddenly, rain poured down. “Go home and get out of this weather,” the men shouted, giving him a few coins.

Bobby used the money to buy as much food as he could afford in the nearest store. While holding a small bag of food ,Bobby stopped to adjust(調(diào)整) the thick paper in his shoes.

A man, who was a member of the Salvation Army, saw Bobby’s problem. He bought Bobby a new pair of shoes.

I wasn’t there on that cold day. But I’ve heard the story many times and can always imagine my father, as a child, dancing and wearing a pair of new shoes home.

Several years later, Bobby joined the navy. He continued to support his family and meanwhile worked for the Salvation Army so that another little boy somewhere might receive a new pair of shoes for Christmas.

The tradition lasted until my father became too ill. Daddy died six years ago. While the new shoes kept his feet warm in the 1930s, Daddy’s act of giving back for tens of years warmed his heart in a greater way.
