26、 The novel coronavirus outbreak has greatly affected the lives of people across the world. It has challenged and changed people' lifestyles. It has also helped us think about our relationships with others.
Changing our lives
①COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about urban lifestyles. The sharing economy, working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry's use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic.
②Although the sharing economy might be good — it's cheaper to rent than to own — sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do “social distancing" when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?
③The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us. In this type of office, workers don't have their own desk - everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic (卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during the pandemic, but that won't last forever.
④Reusability is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unfortunately, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers' reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.
⑤People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.
【1】According to the author, the strong point of the sharing economy is that________.
A.it lasts longer B.it costs less
C.it's popular D.it's hygienic
【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly about________.
A.how working at home won't last long B.how shared offices can save space
C.the hygienic problems of open offices D.the sharing economy trend
【3】According to the author, restaurants can spread the virus easily because________.
A.everything is shared in many restaurants B.they use too much disposable tableware
C.many restaurants have poor hygiene D.cups and chopsticks are often reused
【4】The author probably agrees that________.
A.we need to change some of our lifestyles B.the sharing economy won't last forever
C.no one can stay out of the sharing economy D.we shouldn't say away from shared products
27、Instagram（图片分享社交应用程序）is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook（FB）, has already been testing hiding likes in seven other countries, including Canada, Ireland and Australia. For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It's a way of measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now it's considering a change.
The total number of likes on posts — which appear as hearts on the app ——will disappear from Instagram's main feed, profile pages and permalink（永久链接）pages. The owner of the account can still see their own likes, but their followers won't know the count.
CNN Business previously spoke with users in countries with the test. The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental（不利的，有害的）social networking app for young people's mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.
But other users and psychologists said hiding likes won't fix everything. The test doesn't address some of the key ways that activity on Instagram can impact the well-being of users, including bullying, feeling left out and thinking other people's lives are better than their own.
Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, voiced his opinion that the biggest impact of Instagram is the content and the exposure to this constant stream of perfected images is what seems to hurt psychologically. Plus, users can still see their own likes ——and feel badly if their posts don't perform well.
【1】How do users experience Instagram in this passage?
A．By giving likes.
B．By hiding likes.
C．By selecting platforms.
D．By showing off talents.
【2】The underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “ ”.
A．profitable
B．poisonous
C．popular
D．positive
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Instagram has affected youngsters' mental health.
B．The account owners won't know the count o£ likes.
C．Instagram tested hiding likes in seven countries first.
D．The majority think Instagram has been a well-being app.
【4】What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Instagram Misuses Likes
B．More People Are Against Likes
C．Likes Cause Mental Problems
D．Likes will Be Hidden on Instagram
28、Films to watch in March
Greta
A lonely young waitress finds a handbag on a New York subway train. Luckily, the address is inside, so she returns it to the piano teacher who left it there. She then discovers that the piano teacher makes a habit of dropping bags around the city on purpose to make new friends. Directed by Neil Jordan, the actors are attractive. Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her. Thanks to them, Greta winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

29、 In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.
Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.
To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.
So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.
Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.
But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.
What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. 'But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.' Dr. Lark says.
Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.
Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.
【1】What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?
A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.
C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.
【2】What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?
A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels.
C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.
【3】The underlined word 'arduous' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.
A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different
【4】Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?
A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.
B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.
C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.
D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.
【5】The purpose of writing this passage is _______.
A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong
B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss
C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements
D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers
