26、 People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program, the more they eat, according to a new research.
It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Hirsch explored the effect of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.
Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late- night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were also given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsh found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.
“If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you’ll eat less because you’ll feel full faster,” Hirsch said in an interview all the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Toronto. “So if that’s the case, let’s look at the opposite. What if you’re distracted? If you’re distracted, in theory then , eat more.”
Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation, which typically results in weight gain became the brain does not know when it should stop eating.
The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(丘脑下部)where the so-called satiety (饱足)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full. If it is stopped tricked the result can be changed in eating patterns, he said,“People who cook spaghetti all day don’t feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day,” said Hirsch. “By being exposed to a smell all day long it’s tricking the hypothalamus.”
Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory taste and smell, in addition to internal body changes, signal satiety. But when distracted, a person does not pay attention to either the body’s sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.
Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. “If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring,” Hirsch said.
【1】What does the underlined word “glued to” in Para. l mean?
A.away from B.performing in C.close to D.lost in
【2】How did Hirsch carry out the research?
A.By watching people eat. B.By interviewing people.
C.By counting how many chips people eat. D.By observing how people watch television.
【3】What do Hirsch’s words in Para.6 mean?
A.They think spaghetti unhealthy. B.They have smelt spaghetti enough.
C.They don’t like eating spaghetti. D.Spaghetti has affected the hypothalamus.
【4】What do we know from Hirsch’s study?
A.Inactivity is likely to make people fat.
B.Entertaining shows are the main causes of obesity.
C.The more concentration on food taste, the less you’ll eat.
D.The ventromedial nucleus can tell whether one is hungry or full.
【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.People eat more when watching TV. B.It is not good for our health to eat chips.
C.People enjoy eating while watching TV. D.How people can enjoy the TV programs.
27、 Facebook says it is working on technology to allow us to control computers directly with our brains. It is developing "silent speech "software to allow people to type at a rate of 100 words per minute, it says. The project, in its early stages, will require new technology to detect brainwaves without needing invasive operation. "We are not talking about monitoring your random thoughts," assured Facebook's Regina Dugan. "You have many thoughts, and you choose to share some of them. We're talking about monitoring those words. A silent speech interface（界面）-one with all the speed and flexibility（灵活）of voice. ”
Ms Dugan is the company's head of Building 8，the firm's hardware research lab. The company said it intends to build both the hardware and software to achieve its goal，and has employed a team of more than 60 scientists and academics to work on the project.
On his Facebook page，Mark Zuckerberg added，“Our brains produce enough data to stream four HD（高清）movies every second. The problem is that the best way we have to get information out into the world-speech-can only send about the same amount of data as a 1980s modem. We're working on a system that will let you type straight from your brain about five times faster than you can type on your phone today. Finally，we want to turn it into a wearable technology that can be produced in quantity. ”
Technology is going to have to get a lot more advanced before we can share a pure thought or feeling. but this is a first step. Other ideas detailed at the company's developers conference in San Jose included work to allow people to “hear" through skin. The system，comparable to Braille，uses pressure points on the skin to pass information. "One day，not so far away，it may be possible for me to think in Chinese, and you to feel it instantly in Spanish,"Ms Dugan said.
【1】What can we know about the "silent speech"?
A. It benefits blind people a lot. B. it monitors our random thoughts.
C. It controls computers directly. D. It allows people to type fast.
【2】What Zuckerberg said shows that __________
A. this wearable technology has already been put into use
B. typing directly from brains might become a reality some day
C. the best way to send information out is to use a 1980s modem
D. speaking speed is slower than that of our brains producing data
【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Chinese will become a language of computer.
B. Facebook has a long way to go to achieve its goal.
C. It is impossible to control computers with brains.
D. Computers can be monitored by people's skin now.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Facebook shares brain-control ambitions
B. Computers bring profits to Facebook
C. Silent speech changes people's lifestyle
D. New technology detects brainwaves
28、 China’s economic growth has long impressed the world with its high speed. Now the country’s accelerating green transformation (转型) is expected to offer inspiring lessons in balancing the economy and the natural environment.
Ant Forest, a program on the platform of Alipay, last week won the 2019 UN Champions of the Earth award for turning the green good deeds of half a billion people into real trees planted in some of China’s most dry regions. It was not the first time that China won the UN’s highest environmental honor due to a positive influence on the environment. Last year, a green rural program in Zhejiang Province won this award for its work to repair polluted waterways and damaged lands. In 2017, Saihanba Forest Farm, a program in northern China, was awarded the same honor. The awards came due to China’s solid progress in ensuring the harmony between man and nature.
However, China’s past economic growth has not come without negative consequences for the environment and climate. In the late 1970s, with the rapid development of China’s economy, environmental problems also increased.
To strike a balance between economic boom and environmental burden, China put environmental protection as a basic national policy and the sustainable development strategy was put into practice in the 1990s. Now the country holds a belief: “Lucid (透明的) waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”
Increased environmental awareness and investments have produced results. Air quality in China continued to improve with more cities reporting a drop in major pollutant indicators. Surface water quality kept improving in general. In terms of soil pollution control, the country reduced solid waste imports by 46.5 percent last year.
Strong environmental protection has motivated related fields. The country becomes the first in the world to set up a national green finance system. It also helps push green finance to be included on the G20 agenda. In 2020, the total revenue of China’s environmental protection industry is expected to surpass 2 trillion.
Recognizing that protecting the environment is the best way to realize economic growth, China will continue to stick to giving preference to green development.
【1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?
A.To make a detailed list of the economic progress in China.
B.To sing high praise for the efforts the Chinese government made.
C.To show increasing importance of environment over economy.
D.To prove China’s achievements in balancing the economy and the environment.

A.China’s past economic progress has been smooth and healthy.
B.China has won many UN’s highest environmental honors.
C.China has made the protection of the environment a national policy.
