• 2．Michael J.Fox was at the height of his career when he developed Parkinson's disease （帕金森?。?in 1991.Since then，he has been fighting the disease and has not lost his love for life.
     After his diagnosis （診斷），Michael concealed his illness for several years in order not to risk his career as an actor.His diagnosis didn't become public until 1999.To this day，he has done his best not to be influenced by his illness as much as possible and has worked both in front of the camera and as a voice actor.
  Michael said in an interview with the American magazine Haute Living in 2016： "I realize now that I can play anybody，as long as they have Parkinson's."

     In an interview in March 2017，he joked about moments in his everyday life where he is controlled by his illness. "The thing that makes it funny to me is when I think about someone else watching all this and thinking， 'Poor Michael can't even get the coffee- it's so sad!'"，explains the 59-year-old.
     Since his diagnosis became public，Michael has devoted himself to Parkinson's research.In 2000，he founded the Michael Foundation for Parkinson's Research to find a cure for Parkinson's disease.By the end of 2018，800 million US dollars had already been collected.

• 3．Are calcium supplements（補(bǔ)鈣）safe？The short answer is probably yes.Many people take calcium supplements.Most are women.They do it to build stronger bones.But it is not clear that calcium prevents fractures（骨折）.The government advises post-middle-aged women not to take calcium supplements to prevent fractures.
     What are the risks from calcium supplements？Kidney stones（腎結(jié)石）are the biggest risk.The risk depends on whether you are also taking Vitamin D.A study found that when calcium was taken with Vitamin D，there was a 17 percent increase in the incidence of kidney stones.Another report said the risk disappeared when calcium was taken without Vitamin D.
     Another study asked if there was an increased risk of death and cancer associated with the use of calcium supplements and Vitamin D.This study and another study found that calcium supplements do not increase the risk of dying earlier.These and other studies also found no increased risk of breast cancer，colorectal cancer，or cancer in general.
     Calcium，supplements do not seem to increase the risk of heart disease.A report states that "calcium intake has little or no effect on heart disease risk".
     Government guidelines stop short of recommending calcium 1 supplements.The decision rests on your concerns about your health.Calcium can also interact with certain medicine.But there is sufficient evidence to suggest that calcium supplements are safe when not taken with Vitamin D.

• 4．A principle（原則）I learned back in the early days of computers was "garbage in，garbage out".In other words，poor input（輸入）leads to poor output.I think the same principle applies to our kids' speech.If they have a steady diet of cultural "garbage"-harmful social media，or music，movies and books that are against your family's values，we can be sure those "inputs" will leak out in what they say.No，we can't keep our children from every negative influence，but we must always remember how input affects output and set proper rules.
     In our home，this means we seek to provide an environment that contributes to our kids' ability to communicate with love.Yes，we do monitor media influences and other sources of negative speeches.But more importantly，we aim to model calm，loving responses to life's challenges.
     When bad things happen，I try not to complain.When normal childhood accidents occur，I remember that although difficult.it is still easier to remove grape juice stains from carpet than to erase harsh（嚴(yán)厲的）and unloving words shouted at a child whose little fingers have failed her.And when I fail -when my children have witnessed unkind words，an angry temper-I will admit my mistake and ask for their forgiveness.
     We may sometimes need to speak truth，but even if words are true and delivered in a kind，warmhearted tone，we rarely need to say everything that's on our mind.
     Remind your kids to keep their words gentle，respectful and brief.Sticking to just a few comments in a difficult conversation increases the chances that our listeners will be responsive to what we say.Too much salt destroys the dish，and it can also ruin a relationship.
  
  （1）Which of the following is considered to be a diet of cultural "garbage"？

  
  A．Negative influence from the media.
  B．Addiction to computers.
  C．Loud music or dull books.
  D．Garbage thrown all around.
  （2）What is the most important in teaching children to keep their words gentle and respectful？

  
  A．Keeping them from negative influence.
  B．Always telling them the truth.
  C．Setting a good example to them.
  D．Apologizing for your own angry manners.
  （3）What will the author probably do when the children spoil something at home？

  
  A．The author will shout at them.
  B．The author will punish them.
  C．The author will remain calm and speak gently.
  D．The author will ask them to apologize.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．Teaching kids good manners.
  B．Forming good relations with kids.
  C．Teaching kids the importance of respect.
  D．Teaching kids the weight of words.
