     Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer,

saying studies showed a clear link. "Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入,摄入),

through diet or a vitamin supplement," Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

     Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the

relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. "There's

nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer," he said, urging governments and public health officials to

do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is member of a team at San Diego Moores

Cancer Hospital that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health.

Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at

around 100 international units(IU)a serving.  "People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to

raise their intake to 1000 units per day" Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines

established by the National Academy of Sciences.

     The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern

areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

     "African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin color, could also

benefit significantly from a higher intake," the authors said.

将自己切成一颗钻石    孙君飞(14分)

①传统的钻石工艺一般只能将一颗钻石切到57面,后来只有少数的工艺大师能够突破这个数字。他们不但技艺超群,而且浑身是胆,否则是没有勇气将一颗钻石推到美的巅峰的。

②玉不琢,不成器。对于人生,我们理应抱着不断雕刻自我的态度,最终才能成材、成功。   

③拥有青春的人更应该视自己为一颗等待完美切出的钻石,因为年轻人胆气最足,站在人生的开端,前方又呈现出诸多可能。如果仅仅做到一种可能,是对生命的很大浪费。青春绝不是一个削足适履、固步自封的过程,而是一个不断打破模子、百变新生的过程。一根木头也许雕刻一刀就承受不了了,而一块璞玉就需要雕刻更多刀,才能够呈现出一个完整的层面。对于一颗钻石来讲,即便切上许多刀,也是远远不够的。57刀似乎够了,但恰恰有人切出了80多刀,于是一个惊世传奇诞生了,正在人们啧啧赞叹时,又有一个人切出了100多刀,这难道不是更大的奇迹吗?所以,如果你是一颗钻石、就不能将自己当做一块璞玉,更不能当做一根木头,而要根据自己的特质、不断地发现自己、成长自己、收获自己、这才是对人生真正负责的态度、才算没有辜负了大好青春。

④退一步来讲、即便我们永远做不了一颗钻石,如同我们也许永运做不了达 · 芬奇式的完美天才,也并不妨碍我们将一件事情、一项工作、一份事业做成一颗钻石。台湾年轻演员桂纶镁就是这样经营着自己的演艺事业,通过自我较劲、自我拧巴、自我叫板,终于让她的事业呈现出不同的切面,赢得了特立独行不同质的赞誉。有人评论她是《不能说的秘密》里的氧气美女,也是《线人》里的黑帮阿嫂,是《女人不坏》里的朋克女郎,也是《全球热恋》里的神经质女生……她一直在颠覆自己、挑战自己,当我们渐渐淡忘了她最初的模样时,她又挟着《肩上蝶》强势回归清纯校园风。   

⑤我们不妨将桂纶镁看做青春奋斗者的一个榜样,她不但勇敢地打破了传统演艺路线的桎梏,而且成功地呈现了崭新的青春风采,告诉我们哪怕只做一件事情,只要敢于不断切割它、创造它,同样会带来更多可能、更多精彩。用桂纶镁自己的话来说:“我总觉得自己还有很多个璀璨的切面没有展示出来,我一直知道,自己身体里还有很多东西没有呈现出来,光是去想,下一个桂纶镁会是什么样子,这已经是一件很美妙的事了。这就是我不停挑战,跟自己较劲的原因,我不想错过每一个切面的精彩。”这番话很好地诠释了钻石切割者应该具有的宝贵品质。只有如此,做事、做人才会有做成钻石的希望。    

⑥法国作家玛格丽特·尤瑟纳尔说:“我永远也不会被战胜,我只会由于屡屡战胜而被战胜。”这正是在告诉我们如何将自己切成一颗钻石的奥秘,也是在激励我们:下一个自己,一定会更加光彩夺目! (选由《青年博览》,有删改)
