Just how safe are tattoos(纹身)? The Food and Drug Administration is trying to find out.

For years, the tattoo business has been largely ignored by the F.D.A. Tattoo shops are regulated by state and local authorities, but the inks used in tattoos are subject to F.D.A. rules for cosmetics (化妆品) and color additives (添加剂). The F.D.A. admits that it hasn’t been paying much attention to the issue. “Because of other public health priorities (优先) and a previous lack of evidence of safety concerns, F.D.A. has not traditionally regulated tattoo inks or the pigments (颜料) used in them,” according to a new report from the agency called “Think Before You Ink.”

But at a time when tattoos and permanent makeup are increasing in popularity, the F.D.A. is now promising stepped up vigilance (警戒) on tattoo safety. The agency says it has received reports of bad reactions to tattoo inks even years after the procedure is performed. Some people say their tattoos itch (发痒) or become inflamed (红肿的) in the summer after being in the sun. The F.D.A. ’s Arkansas-based National Center for Toxicological Research is now investigating the chemicals used in tattoo inks and how they break down in the body, how the inks interact with light and the short-and long-term safety of pigments used in tattoo inks.

“Our hope is to get a better understanding of the body’s response to tattoos and their impact on human health, and to identify products at greatest risk,” said Dr. Linda Katz, director of the F.D.A. ’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors in the Center for Food safety and Applied Nutrition.

One of the big unknowns about tattoos is what happens to the ink when tattoos are exposed to sunlight and laser lights used in tattoo removal. It’s known that tattoos fade over time. “We want to know what happens to the ink,” said research chemist Paul Howard, one of the tattoo investigators. “Where does the pigment go?”

53.The purpose of the author writing this passage is to ________.

A. advise F.D.A. to forbid tattooing         B. tell people tattooing are safe

C. remind people to take tattooing seriously  D. inform people of a new study

54.One of the reasons why F.D.A. didn’t lay emphasis on tattoo issues is that _____.

A. it is beyond their power B. the department lacked evidence of safety concerns at that time

C. bad reactions caused by tattoo inks are tiny

D. the inks used didn’t depend on F.D.A. rules for cosmetics and color additives

55.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The tattoos haven’t become as popular as before now.

B. The ink in the tattoos may become thicker and thicker over time.

C. Once in the tattoo may become thicker and thicker over time.

D. Laser lights are used in removing the tattoos.

56. Which of the following may be the best title?

A. To Ink or Not to Ink      B. To Ink Is Better Than Not to Ink

C. It’s Tattoos That Count   D. A Tattoo Is A Tattoo

Jessica Jentis is a typical American teacher; She was white, held a master’s degree and quite two and a half years after starting her career.

According to a new study from teachers’ union the National Education Association, half of new US teachers are likely to quit within the first five years because of poor working conditions and low salaries.

Jentis, now a stay at home mother of three, says that she couldn’t make enough money teaching in Manhattan to pay for her student loans.

“The kids were wonderful to be with, but the stress of everything that went with it and the low pay did not make it hard to leave, ” she said. “It’s sad because you see a lot of teachers the are young and gung-ho(雄心勃勃的) are ready to leave.”

The rate of new teachers leaving has reached as high as 50 percent for decades, said Barry Farber, a professor of education and psychology at Columbia University.

The study, which the association released last week, ahead of its annual salute to teachers on Tuesday, also found today’s average teacher is a married, 43-year-old white woman who is religious.

Teachers are more educated than ever before, with the rate of those holding Master’s degrees increasing to 50 percent from 23 percent since the early 1960s.

Only 6 percent of teachers are African-American and 5 percent are His panic, Asian or come from other ethnic groups. Men represent barely a quarter of teachers, which the association says is the lowest level in four decades.

“We must face the fact that although our current teachers are the most educated and most experienced ever, there are still too many teachers leaving the profession too early, not enough people becoming teachers and not enough difference in the profession,” said NEA President Reg Weaver in a statement.

Thanks to the high dropout rate of younger teachers, there will be plenty of job openings for teachers over the next 10 years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Because education is governed at the state level, programs to retain (留住) younger teachers differ from state to state.

56.The first paragraph is written to _______. (    )

A. introduce the reason of the teachers’ being out of work

A. their salaries are low and their working conditions are poor

C. they want to take care of their own child at home

D. they can’t finish the work that the school asks them to do

58. Which is TRUE about the teacher that Americans are probably satisfied with? (   )

A. The teacher is an old man with a lot of experience.

B. The teacher is a married, 43-year-old white woman who is religious.[

C. The teacher is a young woman who is most educated.

D. The teacher is a married, young man who is religious and kind to kids.

59._____ will have to work out the plans how to continue to have younger teachers according to the passage.

A. The government              B. The schools

C. The Department of Education   D. The states
