26、The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. 【1】
Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. 【2】 They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. 【3】 She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.
【4】 He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. 【5】 Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
A.However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her.
B.So there is no need for them to do it now.
C.Housework is a waste of their time.
D.It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.
E.Different people have different opinions.
27、Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about_________ .
A.their home comforts
B.their body shape
C.house buying
D.healthy diets
【2】A home environment in blue can help people _________.
A.digest food better

C.regain their appetites
D.reduce food intake
【3】What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A.Use smaller spoons.
B.Play fast music.
C.Eat quickly.
D.Turn down the lights.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Effects of Self-Consciousness
B.Is Your House Making You Fat?
C.Ways of Serving Dinner
D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
28、 Are you feeling nervous about the coming job interview? Always remember you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Try to think that it’s not that important: there will be other interviews in future. 【1】 .
Preparation is key. The more preparations you have made ,such as working out answers to common interview questions 【2】,the more relaxed you will feel.
Some people believe imagination is helpful. The night before, picture yourself undergoing the whole interview step by step. 【3】. And visualize you answering
questions fluently, and ultimately getting the job.
Power poses in advance can make you feel more confident at interviews. Standing upright with hands on your hips or leaning over a desk with hands firmly on the surface can reduce stress, 【4】 .Practicing power poses right before an interview can also increase performance. Research at Harvard Business School found that holding power poses for two minutes before interview increased the- chance of a job offer by 20%.
【5】. No one answers each question perfectly and research suggests interviewers
prefer candidates who perform naturally as humans to those who appear “plastic perfect .Professor Sian Bellock suggested people write about their worries beforehand to help reduce pressure, so they are less likely to pop up and influence your performance.
A.Imagine everything going really well
B.Don't worry too much about making a mistake
