21、   Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky eating after a teenager developed permanent sight loss after living on a diet of chips and crisps.

Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only French fries, white bread, as well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage.

The adolescent, who cannot be named, had seen his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he was diagnosed with lack of vitamin B12 and put on supplements, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.

Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said: "His diet was only a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on chips, white bread and sometimes slices of ham or sausage, and not really any fruit and vegetables."

The teen explained this as a dislike to certain kinds of food that he really could not tolerate, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat.

Dr Aan rechecked the young man's vitamin levels and said "he was low in B12 as well as some other important vitamins and minerals - copper, selenium and vitamin D. He was not over or underweight, but was severely malnutritional from his eating disorder. He had lost minerals from his bone, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.”

"He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision," said Dr Atari's assistant. "That means he can't drive and would find it really difficult to read, watch TV or recognize faces, but he can walk around on his own because he has got peripheral(周边的）vision.

The condition the young man has is treatable if diagnosed early. Left too long, however, the nerve fibres in the optic nerve（视神经）die and the damage becomes permanent.

Now he has been put on vitamin supplements and sent to a dietitian and a specialist mental health team.

【1】What can we know about the boy?

A.He didn't see a doctor. B.He can not see anything now.

C.He has a normal body shape. D.He insisted on taking supplements.

【2】What kind of food does the boy refuse to eat?

A.Crisps and chips. B.white bread

C.Ham and sausage. D.fruit and vegetables

【3】What can we learn from Dr Atan's words?

A.Vegetables and fruit are the only source of vitamins.

B.Lack of vitamins and minerals may lead to the loss of sigh.

C.The more vitamins we take, the betterr.

D.Loss of minerals from bone causes blindness.

【4】What column does the passage belong to?

A.Medicine B.Education

C.Economy D.culture

22、Thinking about taking a year out before going to university?Check out your gap year choices here and decide if it’s the right decision for you…

What is it?

It’s a year out between finishing senior high school and starting university in which you can travel, work and generally do mind-broadening stuff you will never forget.

I don’t want to travel, but I don’t know what I want to do at university.

You will have a good three months between finishing your A Levels and university Clearing  (when last-minute vacancies (空缺) on courses for the coming academic year are advertised): surely enough time to decide what to do. You don’t need to take a year for that.

I need to take some money before starting university.

Fair enough. But don’t get comfortable and decide not to get a full-time job. Spending a year on income support (收入补贴) will be depressing; you’ll have nothing to say when future employers ask what you did in your gap year, and you’ll have to put up with smug (得意的) post-gap year students comparing notes when you start university.

I’d love to travel, but I can’t afford it.

Most gap year students work for the first six months and then travel, using the money they’ve earned in the second six months.

I’m scared.

Try not to let fear of the unknown put you off seeing the world. Earth is a big planet, but when you travel it seems much smaller (even the remotest countries have email access).

【1】The potential readers of the text are _________.

A. parents B. high school students

C. university students   D. teachers

【2】Most students get money for their gap year trip_____.

A. from their parents

 B. by borrowing from their friends

C. from the government

D. by working themselves

【3】The last paragraph can be regarded as a(n) ___________.

A. encouragement   B. warning

C. suggestion D. invitation
