26、 LEGO (乐高) recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable (可持续的) sugar cane. The toys, which will be closely similar to classic ones, will also feature “botanical elements” like leaves, bushes, and trees.
The pieces will be included in LEGO’S box sets from this year onwards. The move is part of the Danish company’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its products by 2030.
However, Tim Brooks, the firm’s vice-president, said, “We want to make a positive influence on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. This is a great first step in our goal to make all LEGO pieces using sustainable materials.”
The new line of production has reportedly already started with pieces being produced from polyethylene, which is a soft and durable plastic (耐用的塑料). LEGO says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers (消费者) expect from the company.
“LEGO products have always been about providing high quality play experiences and giving every child the chance to shape their own world through inventive play. Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new pieces, because plant-based polyethylene has the same qualities as traditional polyethylene,” said Tim Brooks.
“It is important that companies in each industry find ways to help ensure a future where people, nature, and the economy grow healthily,” said Alix Grabowski, an officer at WWF. “The LEGO Group’s decision to use sustainable plastics represents a great opportunity to reduce dependence on finite (有限的) resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.”

A. Plant-based materials are of high qualities as traditional materials.
B. Consumers expect high standards for quality and safety from LEGO.
C. LEGO wants to make more products.
D. LEGO needn’t test the new products.
【3】What does Alix Grabowski think of LEGO Group’s decision?

27、How to Sleep Well
Get some exercise at least three hours before bed.
Go for a run, hit the gym, take long walk, or do some stretches to help you get your heart rate going before you ease into bed. 【1】 Doing this at least three hours before bed will work. If you work out shortly before bed, then you will feel more awake than ever.
【2】
If you want to make it easier for you to fall asleep, then you have to get used to falling asleep at around the same time every night and waking up around the same time every morning. That way, your body will get used to feeling more tired at the same time every night.
Stick to the fifteen-minute rule.
【3】 If you’ve been lying in bed for more than fifteen minutes and are unable to fall asleep because you’re not tired, then try something else. If you continue to lie there, your mind will continue churning, and you may even work yourself up and feel even more awake. Once fifteen minutes have passed and you’re no closer to falling asleep, do something else. Read a magazine. Pace around your room. Sit up and stare at your hands. 【4】
Think about everything you did that day.
Another way to calm your mind is to go through everything you did that day, up to the most boring little detail. Try to break it down hour by hour and see how specific you can get and how many things you can end up remembering. 【5】
A.Don’t sleep late in the morning to stick to your regular habit.
B.This will work out your body and will make you more tired.
C.Do something new and you will start to fall asleep gradually.
D.Chances are that this alone will be boring enough to put you to sleep.
E.Make your bed more comfortable.
F.This rule is simple.
G.Go to bed around the same time every night.
28、How to “Speed-read” Body Language
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, social distancing has dramatically changed the way we interact with each other, especially when it comes to non-verbal communication.
Wearing a face mask has quickly become the norm—and that will likely remain for the foreseeable future. 【1】 , it can be difficult to tell what a person is thinking and feeling. How can we better read body language, now that we’re wearing masks? Part of the answer lies in the question itself. Too of- ten, we put all our focus into people’s faces, when we should also be observing the movements of their en- tire upper bodies. This is especially important today, since we do a lot of social interacting through video platforms, where we see each other mostly from the waist up. Body language is an outward reflection of a person’s emotional condition. 【2】 .
Touching the neck
If someone is touching their “neck dimple”(the visible indentation at the middle-front of their neck), it could mean they’re distressed or insecure. 【3】 , try to comfort them or ease their anxiety.
Rubbing the chest
【4】 . If someone is rubbing the upper part of their chest with a palm of a hand(or even just the fingers), it can indicate discomfort or concern. I recently found myself doing this when discussing a family-member’s health.
Tilted head
Head movements can go a long way toward showing whether or not someone is fully engaged, especially during video conference calls. A slightly tilted head displays awareness and attentiveness. And, when combined with a few nods, it can show approval of what’s being said or heard.
【5】
We often squint our eyes when we’re trying to focus our vision on something that’s far away. But squinted eyes and a furrowed “glabella”(the part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows)can also be a sign of disagreement or confusion.
A．This is another sign of stress and anxiety
B．If you notice someone doing this
C．Wearing a mask is a normal part of being around other people
D．Slow your movements
E．Here are some tips on how to speed-read it
F．Squinted eyes
G．But with nearly half of the face hidden
29、 Standing at the top of the world, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask（氧气面罩）， bent a shoulder forward against the wind, and stared absently down at the land of Tibet. Finally I had made it-the top of Mount Qomolangma.
I understood on some dim level（隐约地）that the earth down there was a grand sight. I’d been longing for this moment, and the excitement that would come with it. But now that I was finally here, actually standing on the top of Mount Qomolangma, I just couldn’t collect the energy to care.
It was early on the afternoon of May 10, 1996. I hadn’t slept for fifty-seven hours. My stomach was upset because the only food I’d been able to force down over the past three days was a bowl of soup. To make things worse, weeks of violent coughing had made ordinary breathing a bitter process. At 29,028 feet above the sea level, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that I couldn’t think better than a slow child. Right now I could not feel much of anything except cold and tired. After taking four quick photos, I turned and headed down. I’d spent less than five minutes on the roof of the world.
Looking down the route we had climbed, I noticed something that until that moment had escaped my attention. To the south, where the sky had been perfectly clear just an hour earlier, a blanket of clouds now hid the lesser mountains surrounding. Nothing I saw early that day suggested that a violent storm was approaching. To my oxygen-exhausted mind, the clouds coming up the grand valley of ice appeared no different from the harmless clouds that rose from the valley almost every afternoon.
As I was climbing down, I began to get extremely anxious. However, my concern at that moment had little to do with the weather; I had almost run out of oxygen. I ought to have checked earlier. I needed to get down, fast.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.The top of the world. B.The land of Tibet.
C.A grand sight. D.Reaching the top.
【2】Why did the writer leave the top so quickly?
A.He was exhausted and weak. B.He had dropped his camera.
C.An unexpected violent storm arrived. D.He had fear of heights.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The grand sight made the writer scream.
B.The weather on Qomolangma was changeable.
C.The writer was energetic and strong-minded.
D.The writer was experienced and well-prepared.

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
