【分析解答题】（原 文）
I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive overphrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent - e. g. in painting and music -they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that they really represent an "English tradition" after all.
To speak of American literature, then, is not to assert that it is completely unlike that of Europe. Broadly speaking, America and Europe have kept step. At any given moment the traveler could find examples in both of the same architecture, the same styles in dress, the same books on the shelves. Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc., I intend some sort of qualification to precede the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree, sometimes only of a small degree. The amount of divergence is a subtle affair, liable to perplex the Englishman when he looks at America. He is looking at a country which in important senses grew out of his own, which in several ways still resembles his own - and which is yet a foreign country. There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship yields to a sudden alienation, as when we hail a person across the street, only to discover from his blank response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend.

【单选题】Once upon a time, you believed in the tooth fairy. You counted on the stability of housing prices and depended on bankers to be, well, dependable.And you figured that taking vitamins was good for you. Oh, it’s painful when another myth gets shattereD、Recent research suggests that a daily multivitamin is a waste of money for most people—and there’s growing evidence that some other old standbys may even hurt your health.
Last year, researchers published new findings from the Women’s Health Initiative, a long-term study of more than 160,000 midlife women. The data showed that multivitamin-takers are no healthier than those who don’t pop the pills.
Vitamin supplements came into vogue in the early 1900s, when it was difficult for most people to get a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables year-rounD、Back then, vitamin-deficiency diseases weren’t unheard-of: the bowed legs and deformed ribs of rickets (caused by a severe shortage of vitaminD、or the skin problems.But these days, you’re extremely unlikely to be seriously deficient if you eat an averageAmerican diet. Most of us could do with a couple more daily servings of produce, but a multi doesn’t do a good job at substituting for those.Experts say multivitamins have maybe two dozen ingredients--but plants have hundreds of other useful compounds. If you just take a multivitamin, you’re missing lots of compounds that may be providing benefits.
Another myth about vitamin is that vitaminC、could prevent colds. Today, drugstores are full of vitaminC-based remedies. Studies say:Buyer, beware. Recently, researchers analyzed a raft of studies going back several decades and involving more than 11,000 subjects to arrive at a disappointing conclusion: VitaminC、didn’t ward off colds, except among marathoners, skiers, and soldiers on subarctic exercises.
Then can the vitamin cut the length of colds Yes and no. Taking the vitamin daily does seem to reduce the time you’ll spend sniffling--but not enough to notice.Adults typically have cold symptoms for 12 days a year; a daily pill could cut that to 11 days. Kids might go from 28 days of runny noses to 24 per year. The researchers conclude that minor reductions like these don’t justify the expense and bother of year-round pill-popping (takingC、only after symptoms crop up doesn’t help).
Some people would think that vitamin pills might not help you, but they can’t hurt either. However, a series of large-scale studies has turned this thinking on its heaD、Studies have raised concerns that taking high doses of folic acid could raise the risk of colon cancer. Still others suggest a connection between high doses of some vitamins and heart disease.
Some expert says vitamins are safe when you get them in food, but in pill form, they can act more like a drug—with the potential for unexpected and sometimes dangerous effects.
At the beginning of the passage, the author indicates that
A、bankers could be depended on.
B．housing prices would always remain stable.
C．vitamins bring benefits to people.
D．myth about vitamins is no longer believabl
