There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a
little before you drink it. Why?A new study in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.
“Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk (风险) of esophageal cancer (患食道癌), so you’d better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking,” the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.
For the study Islami and his team followed more than 50,000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer. The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17,290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year and that only about 19% of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.
The scientists found that drinking 700ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (温度)(60℃or hotter) would have a 90% higher risk of having esophageal cancer, compared (比较) with people drinking the same quantity at a temperature below 60℃.
This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2020, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.
46. Why does the writer advise people not to drink very hot drinks?
A．Because they may cause serious disease.
B．Because drinking hot drinks takes longer time.
C．Because people’s mouths may get hurt.
D．Because they don’t taste good at all.
47. How does the writer show us the reason for not drinking very hot drinks?
A．By telling us about his experience.
B．By asking some questions.
C．By sharing some information online.
D．By giving some information from reports.
48. What temperature of drinks increase the risk of esophageal cancer?
A．30℃--40℃.B．40℃--50℃.C．50℃--60℃D．60℃ or hotter.
49. Who may have a 90% higher risk of esophageal cancer?
A．Jane—she usually drinks cold drinks after lunch.
B．Alan—he has a cup of coffee every morning.
C．Steve—he drinks 4 cups of very hot tea every day.
D．Mary—she usually drinks warm milk before sleeping.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?
D．There are some ways to stay away from diseases.
B．Drinking hot drinks increases the risk of cancer.
C．Drinks are bad for people’s health.
A．People will study more about cancer.

①“Mom, I want a cat,” or “Mom, I want a dog, ” or “Mom, I want a...,” are common(常见的) words that parents may hear from their children more than once. However, there are many arguments（争论）for and against children owning pets.
②The first argument that supports pet ownership by children is that they are good company(陪伴). When children come home from school, pets are always there to greet them. They love children and always want to play. As a result, children won’t be lonely. They will also help to keep children active as they will need to be walked and played with every day.
③▲Pets need to be looked after and be taken care of every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. For example, washing and feeding pets are basic skills to learn. Learning these responsibilities will make sure that children will be able to look after themselves, and possibly their children one day.
④On the other hand, some pets can be dangerous. Some dogs, for example, may hurt others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft, but they do have very sharp claws(爪子). If they are treated in the wrong way, cats can use their claws to scratch.
⑤ Besides, pets require a great deal of care. Many pets need showers, exercise and son on. As a result of this, children may neglect their studies because they are too busy worrying about their pets and its health.
⑥A further argument against pet ownership is that pets are costly; buying food and caring them is expensive. Finally, the cost of owning one falls on parents, and as a result, children don’t fully understand the responsibility of having one.
⑦In short, there are many arguments for and against pet ownership. Pets help to keep children company, fit, and they also help them to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous, they require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly.
51. Which of the following sentences can be put into ▲in paragraph 3?
A．Some animals are friendly to children.
B．So their children can look after more people at school.
C．All in all, having a pet has a good influence on children.
D．Secondly, owning a pet encourages children to learn new responsibilities.

A．put an effort in B．pay little attention to
C．have no influence on D．show great interest in
53. Why are some people against owning a pet?
A．Because children can learn some life skills.
B．Because children love to play with pets happily.
C．Because children will have a poorer sense of responsibility.
D．Because they care about children’s safety, schoolwork and the cost.
54. What’s the structure of the text?
