26、We have all heard of superfoods whether it is from articles or in the news. But what are they? 【1】 Superfoods are things you eat that do more than satisfy your hunger because they help your body work better. Think of your body as a car. The better the gas you put in your car, the better it will run. 【2】
As the saying goes, "You are what you eat." This is very true because if you are eating foods that are full of fat, your body will most likely show it. On the other hand, if you are eating energy-filled foods, your body will show that as well.
【3】 They are filled with fiber (纤维), proteins, and important nutrients that are easily used by the body. To become a superfood officially, a food has to meet three requirements. First, it must be available (可获得的) to everyone. Second, it must contain nutrients that help you live longer. 【4】
Eating superfoods can change your life in many ways. Not surprisingly, people who start eating them lose weight quickly. One reason for this is that many superfoods are naturally low in calories (卡路里). 【5】 With most diets, people concentrate on what shouldn't be eaten. With superfoods, they focus on all the great things they can eat. There are other benefits to adding them to your diet as well. Eating superfoods over time helps keep you looking young, fights heart disease and cures some cancers.
A.Some of the top superfoods are berries, nuts, and whole grains.
B.Our bodies are just the same.
C.Another reason is that sticking to eating them is very easy.
D.This is a good question with a simple answer.
E.Getting a wide variety of foods, superfood included, is the better solution.
F.Lastly, its health benefits must be proven by scientific studies.
G.If you want to start adding superfoods to your diet, do it at your own pace.
27、 Don't be too concerned about money, because all it will do is distract you from achieving happiness. And the irony is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 【1】. If you are happy and you have money, you can use it for happiness. If you are unhappy and you have money, you will use that money for more unhappiness. Because money is simply a neutral force.
Don't misunderstand me: 【2】. I am not against anything. Money is a means. Your money will enhance your pattern, whatever it is good or bad.
【3】. They are ready, at any moment, to change their pattern, to change their ways, if more money is available somewhere else.
Once the money is there, then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.
This is the way of the worldly man. Remember, I don't call a person worldly because he or she has money. 【4】. This applies to people with no money as well-they may simply be poor. Just being poor does not equal to being spiritual; and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist. The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates over everything.
The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means: happiness predominates, joy predominates, your own individuality predominates. 【5】, and you are not distracted.
Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality to it.
A.I am not against money.
B.However, money has nothing to do with happiness
C.So they attach great importance to money
D.You know who you are and where you are going
E.Money brings great joy to people who pursue it
F.I call them worldly if they change their motives for money
G.But people keep looking for money as if money is going to bring happiness

29、Riding on an exercise bike at home may keep you in physical shape, but it can get pretty boring after a while. Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an hour a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.
With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all he needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset(头戴式视图器) which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street view and make it seem like he's cycling through different real-life locations.
Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all he needed to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess, Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.
Aaron's project is obviously no substitute(替代品) for real outdoor cycling as it lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, but it has given him a goal, as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.
Obviously, Aaron's set up the officially allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he has always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land of the Rising Sun.
【1】Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?
A.To invent a new kind of bicycle
B.To participate in a competition.
C.To satisfy the needs of the public.
D.To add fun to his exercise bike routine
【2】Which of the following can best describe Aaron Puxey?
A.Creative.
B.Ambitious.
C.Funny.
D.Boring.
【3】What was the challenge for Puzey in his project?
A.Changing the 3D data into pictures.
B.Downloading the software from the Internet.
C.Making the 3D data viewable in the headset.
D.Taping a Bluetooth monitor lo his exercise bike.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A.Cycling Across the World at Home
B.The Lazy Man and His Crazy Idea
C.A New Way of Cycling Without Effort
D.A Substitute for Real Outdoor Cycling
