and environmental factors,say researchers atGeorgetown University Medical Center.They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations.The study,published in theAmerican Journal of Stem Cells,suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate,says the studys senior investigator,Joanna Kitlinska,PhD,an associate professor in biochemistry,and molecular and cellular biology.“We know the nutritional,hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure,cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,”she says.“But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers his lifestyle,and how old he is,can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,”she says.“In this way,a father can affect not only his immediate offspring,but future generations as well.”For example,a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal(胎儿的)alcohol spectrum disorder(FASD),even though the mother has never consumed alcohol,Kitlinska says.“Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics,suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.”Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases,and birth defects in his children.A limited diet during a fathers preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren.Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells,changes in metabolic regulation,diabetes,obesity and development of brain cancer.Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring.And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight,marked reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.“This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,”Kitlinska says.“And to really understand the epigenetic influences of a child,we need to study the interplay between maternal and paternal effects,as opposed to considering each in isolation.”4.Whats the message the writer conveys in the passage?A.Both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring.B.Fathers age and lifestyle are tied to birth defects.C.Father plays a more critical role in birth defects.D.Birth defects can potentially affect multiple generations.5.What can we infer from the example in Paragraph 5?A.FASD can only be diagnosed in a newborn whose father is addicted to alcohol.B.A newborn will not contract FASD if his mother has never consumed alcohol.C.A fathers lifestyle can negatively impact his offspring.D.Most children have biological fathers who are alcoholics.6.Which of the following situations is less likely to lead to childrens birth defects?A.Having a father with a limited diet.B.Having a father who is an alcoholic.C.Having an overweight father.D.Having a father with psychosocial stress.7.What will the research probably continue to focus on in the part that follows?A.The maternal epigenetic influences of a child.B.The ways to avoid negative paternal influence on children.C.The clinical application of the research findings.D.The interaction between maternal and paternal effects.C Understanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept.In fact,it was noticed as early as ancient Rome.Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives.There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing ones best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill.People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want.They reuse what they own,sending few things to be recycled.Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products.They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging.For example,how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought?Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods,those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.Nevertheless,Malaysian environmental journalist,Ms.Aurora Tin,has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context.Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods,Ms.Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables.She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda.This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person,but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.8.Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?A.Bringing a resuable container to take away food.B.Choosing appliances that cost less money.C.Turning off a device to stop using power.D.Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.9.What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?A.Recycable carboard.B.Excessive packaging.C.Glass jars to store purchases.D.Natural substances in cleaning products.10.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.How do people live a zero waste lifestyle.B.Why Ms.Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle.C.We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia.D.It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.11.What is the best title of the passage?A.Living a zero waste lifestyle.B.Going green ismore than a fashion.C.A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve.D.Making environmentally-conscious decisions.D A year ago I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco.All of my hard work paid off.My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school,so I made sure to push myself:I volunteered,took part in various clubs,and graduated with honors.I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough,the big day came,but it wasnt like what I had thought.The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life.Every night I would cry myself to sleep.I was missing my family,my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didnt know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself,I threw myself into my studies.I also found a ton of jobs.In any free time,I started forcing myself to go to the gym.I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldnt think about how lonely I felt.Soon after,I began to control my eating,considering it another solution to my homesickness.But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally,I went to see a doctor.When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school,I started to fear.How could I stop?School was what I was best at.“Im not so bad,”I thought in my head.But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother camewoefully.I had to take a semester off from school,and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly,I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life.Though you may feel alone,there are so many people who can understand your struggle.Thats why I want to share my story.12.Why did the author push herself during high school?A.She wanted to attend the University of San Francisco.B.It cost too much to study in a private
