You know eating fruit and vegetables does good.But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers’ skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.
Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age－related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange ，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to others －and was seen as appealing.
A camera measured chan ges to the skin’s redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)，which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour and beta－carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.
4． What do we know from the research?
A． If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive
in three weeks.
B． The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.
C． Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.
D． People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.
2． Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids ?
A． They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.
B． They can prevent heart disease and cancer.
C． They can prevent age－related diseases.
D． They can keep you in good health.
3． Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．We’ve alr eady known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.
B． We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.
C． The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.
D． Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.
4． We can infer from the passage that ________
A．skin’s red ness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractive B．carotenoids have the same effect as lycopene
C．it is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colour
D．both beta－carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

The naive fellow has never met a thief and firmly believes that he lives in a world without thieves. And, the female thief fights against other thieves only to protect this guy's "daydream". Sound strange? Then go to the cinema to see what happens in "A World Without Thieves" (Tianxia Wuzei). It's the latest offering from Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. The film will hit mainland cinemas on December 9, 2004.
Adapted from the book of the same name, it tells the story of a couple, both of them skillful thieves, who find their consciences on a thief-filled train.
Wang Bo (Andy Lau, or Liu Dehua) is a master pickpocket from Hong Kong. Wang Li (Rene Liu, or Liu Ruoying) is a "talented" cheat from Taiwan. They're partners in crime and passion, and cheat their way across China, until one day they run into Shagen (Wang Baoqiang) at a railway station.
An orphan since birth, Shagen spends more time with wolves than with men. He believes in the basic goodness of human nature and is convinced that he lives in a world without thieves. Having saved up 60,000 yuan after five years of hard work, he decides to go back to his hometown, build a house and get married.
However, the train Shagen boards is full of thieves. Besides Wang Bo and Wang Li, there is a gang of highwaymen under the control of Uncle Bill (Ge You). While Bill's men are trying to get Shagen's savings, Wang Li takes it on herself to be his protector.
Feng Xiaogang has become a supplier of New Year's movies in China. For four consecutive years, he has caused a nationwide media excitement at the end of each year. That started with 1998's
"The Dream Factory" (Jiafang Yifang) and ran to last year's "Cell phone" (Shouji).
With "A World without Thieves", Feng tries his hand at something beyond his standard humor. For the first time, he employs a lot of special effects.
"I do like comedy, but I also want to know where my limits lie," said Feng, "The film is an experiment. It has special skills, love between thieves, as well as the rediscovery of conscience." Feng says the film is more like a fairy tale: It's two thieves trying to protect someone's "daydream". "You see, a fairy tale may expose more about life and human nature than another story. You don't change the world with a film, but you make people see and feel innocence, and that's my power. "

A. lovely
B. interesting
C. innocent
D. smart
12. Which of the following films is not directed by Feng Xiaogang?

B.This film was first on show on December 9, 2004.
C.Wang Bo and Wang Li are in the charge of Uncle Bill.
D.Feng Xiaogang likes fairy tales.
14. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.Introduction of Feng Xiaogang
B.Introduction of Liu Dehua
