On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst．At home, at school, in the park or at the movies—you can find one almost anywhere．

Carbonated（碳酸的）

You can see bubbles in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated．But be careful, carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine．Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer, because it takes water out of your body．And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.

Fruit juice

There are different kinds of juice．One kind is made only from fresh fruit．This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious．Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it．Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good．It is bad for your teeth and bones to drink lots of this.

Energy drinks

These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them．They are sometimes called “party drinks”．Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.

Bottled water

We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled（蒸馏的） water．They are clean and easy to drink．But it is best not to drink very cold water．It may make your stomach feel bad.

Sports drinks

Most of these have funny names like “Scream” and “G-Vital”．They have lots of vitamins and minerals in them．After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.

But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won’t need them at all!

An ancient Egyptian mummy thought to be that of Pharaoh Ramses I（法老一世）has returned home after more than 140 years in North American museums．The body was carried off the plane in Cairo in a box covered in Egypt’s flag.

The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled 3,000 years ago．The US museum acquired it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is thought to have bought it from Egyptian garve robbers in 1860．The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.

Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities（文物最高委员会）, traveled from the US with the body and said it would be moved next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt．“We are not 100% sure that mummy is that of Ramses I,” said Mr．Hawass．“But we are 100% sure that it is of a king.”

Atlanta’s Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech scanning equipment indicated it was likely to be that of Ramses I．The museum website said it had been acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum．It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had came across a tomb filled with royal mummies at a site near Luxor.

Mr．Hawass praised the handover as “a great, civilized gesture”．And he appealed to other world museums to return Egypt’s antiquities, particularly the Rosetta Stone in the Britain Museum and the Bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin Museum.

25．Where was Ramses mummy kept in just before the handover?

A．the Luxor Museum B．the Michael Carlos Museum

C．the Niagara Falls Museum D．a Canadian Museum

26．Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?

e．The mummy was kept in the Michael Carlos Museum.

A．c-d-e-b-a B．c-b-e-d-a C．a-d-c-b-e D．c-d-b-e-a

27．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．All the Egypt’s antiquities have returned home after the handover.

B．Niagara Falls Museum is an American museum.

C．Buying the mummy from the Egyptian family was a civilized gesture.

D．Ramses Mummy had been kept in Canada for more than a century.

Zinc（锌）is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health．It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells．Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other element work．

Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery．Dr．Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some substances were added to their food．One of these substances was zinc．Dr．Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations．The airman who received zinc sulphate（硫酸盐）recovered in one half the usual time．Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders．The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by a lack of zinc in the body．They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate．

The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining the blood and hair．A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries．Zinc is found in most high protein foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs．It is also found in whole grains．But many people do not eat enough of these foods．Food makers should add the elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances．

29．Which of the following statements in NOT true?

A．Scientists are just starting to study how zinc and other elements work．

B．People only need a very small amount of zinc to maintain good health．

C．Zinc is important because it allows important chemical actions
