27、 How sharks navigate the vast and seemingly featureless ocean has long been a mystery. Now there's evidence they may follow their noses. Sharks rely on their sense of smell to help chart a path through the ever-shifting waters of the deep seas, according to a new study. Scientists have supposed that the animals navigate by monitoring smell clues or the Earth's magnetic field, but no one knew for sure.
In new experiments near San Diego, scientists ferried wild leopard sharks about 6 miles(10 kilometers)away from their preferred habitats, fitted them with tracking devices, and stuffed some of the animals' noses with cotton balls. Just 30 minutes after being released facing the wrong way, sharks with full use of their smells made a corrective U-turn and then headed straight back to shore, "says study leader Andrew Nosal, a researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, California. Sharks with stuffed noses, meanwhile, "appeared lost, "wandering aimlessly and
swimming more slowly than those that could smell freely.
To test sharks' sense of direction, Nosal and colleagues captured several dozen leopard sharks, a small species found along the coast from Washington State to northern Mexico.
After blocking some of the animals' noses, the scientists then took the animals on a cruise to deeper waters before slipping them, safe and unharmed, back into the sea. Even the sharks with plugged noses made it partway back to shore before their tracking devices fell off. But those with unplugged noses "took very straight paths" toward home. Nosal supposes the sharks likely sniffed out chemical molecules found in higher and higher doses nearer to land.
Other scientists, however, remain unconvinced. Maybe the animals with plugged noses "were confused by the fact that they had something stuffed in their nose," says Kim Holland, a marine biologist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. It's also unlikely the animals were following a smell that grew stronger closer to land, adds Jayne Gardiner, a sensory biologist at the New College of Florida. Animals that couldn't smell a thing still turned toward the beach, which "suggests something else is really guiding them," she says.
Study leader Nosal responds that sharks with cotton-stuffed nose willingly eat, suggesting that a congested nose doesn't upset them much. He agrees that sharks use a variety of markers to find their way, "but the point is that smell participates in navigation, "he says. "Our study was only the first step in solving this mystery. "
【1】This passage is mainly about ________.
A.why sharks have a good sense of smell B.why sharks are clever animals
C.how scientists do the experiment D.how sharks find their way in the vast ocean

A.there are various markers for sharks to find their way and eyes play an important role in it
B.some scientists hold different opinions from the findings of the new study
C.the new study has completely solved the mystery of sharks' easy navigation in the vast ocean

28、 Jeremy grew up being active in sports. But he never thought about healthy eating until he found himself gaining weight several years after college. Last week, Jeremy hit a turning point when he found that he was too out of shape to play in a company football team. He decided to change his eating habits.
The first step Jeremy took toward healthy eating was to stop going to fast-food restaurants. Jeremy used to eat fast food as often as 4 times a week. To his surprise, he found that giving up fast food wasn’t that difficult. Now, he says, “I don’t even like it anymore.” When Jeremy does go out to eat, he tries to pick menu items that he knows are healthier. He orders salads and lower-fat sandwiches instead of hamburgers, and he drinks water instead of soda pop. “I try to order things that are already prepared the way I would like them to be prepared.”
Planning meals has been a key to Jeremy’s success. It helps him avoid getting too hungry and eating fast food. Each week he plans what he will eat for each meal, and he shops for groceries (食品杂货) with his plan in mind. “It’s a lot easier to make healthy choices when you’re just planning ahead for it.” Rather than cutting out certain foods, Jeremy sometimes includes his favourite foods in his eating plan. “That way I don’t feel like I’m letting myself down by not sticking to my plan.”
Jeremy’s friends and family noticed when he started eating healthier. They have helped him to make a habit of his healthy eating changes. “It made me feel pretty good, especially when people started making comments about the changes I was making,” he says. “You just get the positive energy.”
【1】What made Jeremy decide to change his eating habits?
A.Higher food prices. B.Weight gain in college .
C.Dislike of unhealthy foods. D.Failing to join a football team.
【2】What did Jeremy think of giving up fast food?
A.It was too easy for him. B.It made him uncomfortable.
C.It was not as difficult as he thought. D.It meant stopping going out to eat.
【3】What played the most important role in Jeremy’s healthy eating?
A.Eating less at mealtimes. B.Making plans ahead of time.
C.Following his friends’ advice. D.Cutting out all unhealthy foods.
【4】How does Jeremy feel about people’s comments?
A.Surprised. B.Encouraged C.Worried. D.Interested.
【5】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Health. B.Science. C.Education. D.Entertainment.
29、 Nowadays, many parents are so busy that they seldom have family meals with their children. But this is wrong.
A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E.
During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.
When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of schoolaged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.
When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.
Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.
Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary—building words to help them read and communicate better.
Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better selfesteem.
In conclusion, family meals are very important.
【1】The writer wants to tell us that .
A.eating together with family is a good chance to teach children
B.it's more advantageous for children to eat with their families
C.it's desirable for children to eat more regularly
D.enjoying family meals is equal to eating a big and delicious dinner

A.Having a company meal is easy to become fatter and fatter.
B.In the mealtime, parents should set a good example of healthy eating.
C.Family meals can help children with a higher level of nutrition knowledge.
D.Family meals can make children form the good habit of eating.
【3】What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Find. B.Replace.
C.Prevent D.Improve.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Why family is important to kids. B.How to eat in a healthy way.
