The fighting against youth smoking since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm.

That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result. 36．What has the author done in his power?

Children who drink more milk do not necessarily develop healthier bones，researchers said on Monday in a report that stresses exercise and modest consumption of calcium-rich （含钙丰富） foods such as tofu and broccoli（花椰菜）.
The report drew its conclusions from previously published studies and was written by researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine，which advocates a strict vegetarian diet. “Under scientific study，the support for the milk myth（神话）is defeated. This analysis of 58 published studies shows that the evidence on which U. S. milk intake recommendations（劝告；推荐） are based is scant，”said study author Dr. Amy Lanou in a statement.
The U. S. government has gradually increased recommendations for daily calcium intake，largel y from milk products. But the Physicians Committee’s report said increasing consumption of milk products was not necessarily the best way to provide the necessary calcium intake of at least 400 milligrams per day. Other ways to get the absorbable calcium found in one cup of cow’s milk include a cup of orange juice，two packages of instant oats（燕麦），two-thirds cup of tofu，or 1-2／3 cups of broccoli，the report said. And it also pointed out that milk products provide 18 percent of the total energy and 25 percent of the total fat intake in the diets of American children. who are developing increasing rates of obesity （肥胖症）.
Frank Greer, who specializes in children’s illnesses at the University of Wisconsin in Madison，said the ideal way to achieve the goal of healthy bones is to make sure children exercise and consume up to 1，300 milligrams a day of calcium.
46. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Calcium is more important than milk.
B. Vegetarian diet becomes popular.
C. How to get rid of obesity.
D. Does more milk really benefit us?
47. What does the underlined word “scant” most probably mean in the second paragraph?
A. Accurate.
B. Enough.
C. not enough.
D. Inaccurate.
48. Where does the passage probably appear?
A. In a medical magazine.
B. In a government report.
C. In a text book.
D. In a science book.
49. Which of the following statements is not mentioned as a way to get absorbable calcium?
A. Drinking cow’s milk.
B. Drinking orange juice.
C. Taking more exercise.
D. Eating some Tofu.
50. We can see from the passage that .
A. American children’s obesity has something to do with milk intake
B. the US government has realized exercise is important for healthier bones
C. researchers are all against children’s calcium-intake from milk products
D. children can develop healthier bones only by consuming milk products

One possible version:
My opinion on copying others’ homework
It is known to us all that some students copy others’ homework. As students, we have
to do plenty of homework both at home and at school, but sometimes we have some homework which is too difficult for us. On the other hand, some students are lazy, and are not interested in their lessons. They don’t work hard. In order to finish the assignments and please their teachers, some students copy others’ homework.
In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others’ homework bec ause it breaks the school rules. Students should be honest and try to finish our homework by ourselves instead of
by copying. Even though we have trouble doing our homework we can ask our classmates or teachers for help.。
