26、From Whatsapp to WeChat, the world has plenty of choices when it comes to messaging apps that connect friends and strangers on the Internet. The market is so crowded that for a new competitor to stand out or even get noticed, they'd have to come up with something new. Enter "Die With Me", a fresh chat app that can only be used when your smart phone has 5% or less battery left.

The app's co-developer Dries Depoorter said, "I was in a strange city and my phone battery was low when I was on my way back to the hotel. I was really stressed about this as night fell. At that moment, I had the idea for an app that we could only use when we had low battery. But I didn't know how it would work until we came up with the idea of making it a public. chatroom.
The app was shown by developers David Surprenant from Canada and Dries Depoorter from Belgium at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.
According to Depoorter, the app has so far recorded over half a million messages in conversations worldwide, with an average of eight people in the chatroom at any given time Depoorter also said he and Surprenant intend to make a book with a selection of messages recorded by the app at some point in the future.

27、Sitting by the fire on a cold night, wearing a woolen sweater, while drinking wine and petting a dog—probably surrounded by candles. That’s certainly “Hygge”. Eating home-made cakes. Watching TV under a warm quilt. Family get-togethers at Christmas. They’re all Hygge too.
The Danish word, pronounced “Hoo-ga”, is usually translated into English as “coziness”. But it’s much more than that; it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark to compete with Switzerland and Iceland to be the world’s happiest countries.
Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to reach the state of Hygge as part of its Danish language course. “We have long, cold winters in Denmark,” says lecturer Susanne Nilsson. “That influences things.” With up to 17 hours of darkness per day in the depth of winter, and average temperatures staying around zero degrees, people spend more time indoors as a result, says Nilsson, meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining.
“Hygge could be families and friends getting together for a meal, with the lighting dimmed, or it could be time spent on your own reading a good book,” she says. “it works best when there’s not too large an empty space around the person or people,” the idea is to relax and feel as at home as possible, forgetting life’s worries.
The recent growth in some restaurants, cafes and bars in the UK is helping to introduce Hygge to the public, she adds, with their warm environment, lively decorations and concentrations on comforting food. Most customers won’t have heard of the word, but they might get a sense of it.
【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.List the good results of Hygge.
B.introduce the topic of Hygge.
C.Describe the spread of Hygge.
D.point out the importance of Hygge.
【2】The underlined word “coziness” most likely means __________.?

B.Being responsible
C.Being comfortable
D.Being hard-working
【3】What is the reason for Danish to want a Hygge lifestyle?
A.Danish are crazy about outdoor activities.
B.Danish prefer home entertainment to work.
C.Hygge is part of the Danish language course.
D.Winters in Denmark are quite long and cold.
28、Part of a research study, by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.
The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period. Following their workouts, study participants drank either two cups of skim milk, or a soy beverage with equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.
Upon the study's conclusion, scientists observed that: the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fat—two pounds—as those in the carbohydrate beverage group, who lost one pound of fat. Those drinking soy beverages lost no fat. At the same time, the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.
As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.
"I think the evidence is beginning to increase," says Stuart Phillips—the leader of the study. "Milk may be best known for its calcium content in supporting bone health, but our research, and later others', can continually support milk's ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal post workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike."
【1】How many days did the participants lift weights in the program?
A.56 days.
B.84 days.
C.60 days.
D.12 days.
【2】What does the underlined word "beverage" probably mean?
A.A kind of medicine.
B.A sort of drink.
C.A type of exercise.
D.A piece of equipment.
【3】According to the passage, we can know that
A.the scientists chose people aged 18, 30 and 56 as participants of the research
B.a soy beverage is a proper choice for losing weight over the long term
C.people who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than others
D.soy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.What exercisers should do to lose weight.
B.How milk influences people's health and figure.
C.The differences between milk and soy or carbohydrate beverages.
D.A research about the effect of drinking milk on exercisers.
29、Have you ever wanted to travel in space? In a way you already do, because you live on Earth, and Earth is a planet floating in space.【1】 They are a whole family of planets that scientists call our solar system.
The word “solar” means “having to do with the Sun”.The planets in our solar system all circle the Sun in paths called orbits.【2】 It doesn't take them as long to travel around the Sun.Planets farther from the Sun have longer orbits.It takes Earth about 365 days—one year—to travel around the Sun.
【3】 They all spin, or rotate.It takes Earth 24 hours, or one day, to spin around one time.As Earth spins, the parts that face the Sun are lit up—it is daytime there.The parts that face away from the Sun are dark-it is nighttime.
If you could visit the other planets, you would find some strange and surprising worlds.Some are dry and rocky, while others are balls of swirling gases with solid centers.Some planets are much hotter than Earth-so hot that nothing can live there.【4】 Other planets are far away from the Sun.They are very, very cold—colder than any place on Earth.
【5】 It is not too hot and not too cold.Earth has water to drink and air to breathe.Earth is the only planet in our solar system where plants and animals and people can live.
A.There are other planets, too.
B.That's because they are so close to the Sun.
C.Earth is just the right distance from the Sun.
D.The planets are alike in another important way.
E.Planets that are closer to the Sun have shorter orbits.

30、Bad Dreams Are Good!
Most of us dream, whether we remember them or not. What are dreams for? A handful of _______ dominate. Sigmund Freud famously maintained that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or _______ random neuron (神经元) activity, or prepare responses to threatening situations. Others argue that dreams have no evolutionary function, but simply _______ personal concerns.
Despite being largely unsupported by _______, Freud’s view maintains strong following around the world. Researcher found that students in the U.S., South Korea, and India were much more likely to say that dreams reveal hidden truths than to accept better _______ theories. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more _______ than an official warning about a terrorist attack. Even if dreams can’t foretell the future, they seem to _______ our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep (深度睡眠) cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night.
A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics include school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something. For all the commonalities dreams _______, they vary across time and culture—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white. A 1958 study _______ that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being locked up, losing a loved one, finding money, being _______ dressed or encountering a mad person. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or “wild, violent beasts.” If human dreams sound _______, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects.
In a study of students taking a French medical school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreams they had beforehand _______ problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported _______ about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t. So the next time you dream about an education related experience in which you are unable to answer the questions or solve a problem, don’t _______: It’s probably totally meaningless. Then again, your brain might be practicing so you’ll be _______ if such an event ever comes to pass.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’ll never forget that hot and windy day when I passed my driving test. The instructor just told me that I passed and he was talking to me about my test as I was full of smiles. I looked over at my dad and he was staring at(盯着) his phone with a strange look. And then the instructor and I went on with our own business.
“Excuse me sir, but I must take this call …” my father rudely cut in. I was so embarrassed because there were signs all over the DMV (车管局) office that read: CELL PHONES MUST BE TURNED OFF. He opened his phone and said, “Hello?” The look on his face was unforgettable as he turned so white. I knew something was wrong. My first thought was that someone was in the hospital or had died. Although no one had died, little did I know that the phone call was going to change my life forever.
The call was from the North Middleton Fire Department and they told my father that he needed to get to the house as soon as possible. My dad was about to shut his phone when suddenly I heard my old sister on the phone. All I could hear was her crying crazily and shouting “Fire”! I had one thought going through my head at that moment, and it was her son, Tom.
Did my sister get him out of the house in time? He was only six months old and I loved him more than anything in the world. We ran out of the DMV office both in complete shock. My dad was driving anxiously and quickly. At this point I didn’t even know how to prepare myself. The thought of my house burning to the ground didn’t seem to be real. I kept telling my dad it probably wasn’t even that bad and to stop driving like a crazy man.
The drive from the DMV office to my house is only a fifteen-minute drive, but it felt like forever. Finally, we were half a mile away from the house.
