An aspirin a day keeps the doctor away. Aspirin has long been praised as a wonder drug and has been in your family since you can remember. Not only does it cure pain, it also lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. But taking the pills daily may not work for everyone.
Although taking an occasional aspirin or two is safe for most adults to use for headaches，body aches or fever, daily use of aspirin can have serious side effects. Up to 60 per cent of us，both healthy people and those being treated for all types of heart disease may have some level of resistance to aspirin’s benefits.
Aspirin keeps platelets(血小板) from sticking, lowering the risk of clotting(结块)．People who are aspirin­resistant still get pain relief but not the full blood­thinning effects.
How do you know whether you’re resistant？New blood tests can help your doctor decide whether to give you a different medicine, especially if you’re at risk or are being treated for heart disease. The tests aren’t yet widely available, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
People taking aspirin daily should limit the amount of alcohol they drink because of its additional blood­thinning effects and potential to upset your stomach. Thus you should not have more than one drink if you’re a woman or two drinks a day if you’re a man. Does daily aspirin treatment differ between men and women？Recent studies have focused on the effects of aspirin in women，finding that its effects differ between the sexes, and for women, between age groups.
All in all, aspirin is still an effective, affordable and simple option for many people at risk of heart attack and stroke. Though it is readily available, always check with your doctor before starting daily aspirin treatment.

短文改错

During the summer vacation this year, I thought I should do anything meaningful instead of stay at home, so I got a job at a KFC fast-food restaurant, working there as a cleaner. I worked seven hours a day for three week. The job was hard and boring, which made me very tired that I nearly gave it up halfway. And I went on with determination. Every day I started off for work early in the morning and reached to home late in the evening. Final I finished the job before the new term begins. Now, I understand that work means. I think it is really successful experience.

   So let’s say that you’re sitting at a restaurant and when your food arrives, you take one bite and decide that something is preventing you from taking a second bite. No matter what the reason is, this dish is going back to the kitchen, and now it’s up to you to find a way to send it back politely.

First of all, the single most important thing to do when you’re sending something back is to do it immediately. If you eat half the dish before sending it back, the server and kitchen will believe that you really don’t need to send it back.

If a dish is too salty that it cannot be eaten, you should first let the server know what the situation is, and they’ll take it back to the kitchen and bring you a new one. Remember that it is not the server’s fault, so don’t take it out on them. Also, don’t be afraid that they’ll get angry at you, or someone will spit (吐) in your food. It’s their job to make sure that you’re satisfied, and if the kitchen clearly makes a mistake the server will be frustrated with the kitchen, not with the diner who has been served an inedible meal. A new dish will be cooked, and nobody’s going to spit in it.

There is, however, one example when you are sending back a dish which will really annoy both the server and the kitchen. If you order a pasta dish that contains pancetta but then send it back to the kitchen because you’re a vegetarian (素食者) and don’t know what pancetta is, and then congratulations because you’re one of the most unbearable types of customers a restaurant can have. A perfectly good plate of food is just thrown out because you don’t ask what pancetta is before ordering.

So the bottom line: Use common sense if you think that you need to send your dish back. If the kitchen do something wrong, then they’re on the hook for a new plate of food. If you do something wrong, then hopefully you’ve learned a lesson.

【小题1】When the diners find something wrong with the dishes they ordered, they should __________ .

A．send them back immediately	B．eat half the dishes before sending them back
C．go back to the kitchen themselves	D．wait until the cook apologizes to them

【小题2】The underlined word “inedible” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ __________”.

A．unbearable	B．unpleasant
C．tasteless	D．uneatable

【小题3】What will happen when you are sending back a dish owing to your own mistake?

A．You’ll be fined by the restaurant.

B．Your request will be refused immediately.

C．You’ll be forced to leave the restaurant.

D．Your food will be thrown out of the restaurant.

【小题4】The passage is intended to __________.

A．guide diners how to enjoy a good meal in a restaurant

B．introduce the best way to send back food in a restaurant

C．introduce the bottom line people should have in a restaurant

D．inform the diners of the most important things to do in a restaurant

Several days before, I was out with my friends at a local fast food restaurant. The food we ate was good but we had fun together. Before we left for the restaurant, we found that it also sold ice cream. We got exciting because we hadn’t eaten ice cream for a long time. One of my friend decided to buy all of us ice cream and in the restaurant, they all screamed (尖叫) with joy! Then the man came in with his son, who wanted to buy ice cream either. In the end, he decides to pay for our ice cream. We moved by such an act of kindness on a hot day.
