The referee can delay the restart of play at any time to communicate with the VAR team. 【3】, the referee would start an official review. Then they will make a decision based on the information received from the VAR team.

They argue disruptions already take place as angry players crowd around a referee following a controversial decision. 【5】.

28、Perhaps you have heard the expression “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, make marketing plans, and run your business by local laws.
【1】 The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language.
The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look at the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common.
Use first names only after being invited to. 【2】 The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.
Dress well. 【3】 Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing makeup is practiced widely by businesswomen.
The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours. 【4】
Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate. 【5】 This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who makes an invitation always pays.
A．Remember to be as polite as possible.
B．This is a time for relationship building.
C．Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.
D．Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

29、 Staying up late is a potential battle between parents and kids. But the solution could be as simple as changing your meal time.
Researchers at the University of Surrey, UK, found that delaying meals could help change one of the internal body clocks. Besides a “master” clock in the brain, there are clocks in other parts of the body. They are usually synchronized（同步的）according to factors including light.
During the study, researchers teased 10 participants to study the effect of changing meal times on their body clocks. The participants were given three meals -breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the first stage, participants received breakfast 30 minutes after walking .Lunch and dinner followed, after 5-hour interval（间隔）.In the second stage, each meal was delayed by 5 hours. Right after each stage, blood and fat samples were collected.
Results showed that later meal times greatly influenced blood sugar levels. A 5-hour delay in meal times caused a 5-hour delay in the internal blood sugar rhythms.
The discovery showed that meal times are in line with the body clock that controls blood sugar levels.
This is a small study but the researchers believed the findings could help jet lag sufferers and night-shift workers.
In a study by the University of Surrey in 2013,researchers explored what happened when a person’s body was changed from a normal pattern to that of a night-shift worker’s.
After people work through the night, over 97 percent of the body’s rhythmic genes are disrupted.
These findings explain why we feel so bad following a long flight, or after working at night, according to Simon Archer ,one of the study’s researcher.
“It’s like living in a house. There’s a clock in every room in the house and in all of those rooms those clocks are now disrupted, which of course leads to chaos（混乱）in the household,” fellow researcher Der-Jan Dijk told the BBC.
Changing meal times didn’t affect the “master” body clock -the one controlling when we get sleepy-but it can reset the body clock that controls blood sugar levels.
This wouldn’t necessarily cure jet lag completely, but it might reduce the negative effects.
A study published earlier this year suggested that just a weekend camping trip could be enough to reset our body clocks. And now this latest research shows regular food schedules could play a key part too.
【1】What did researchers at the University of Surrey find from their new study?
A.Connections between the “master” clock and clocks in other parts of the body.
B.A delay in meal times causes an irregular change in blood sugar rhythms.
C.Changing meals times can be enough to reset one of our body clocks.
D.Blood sugar levels are affected by when we eat rather than by our internal clocks.
【2】What can we know about the new study?
A.The internal between each meal being given was different.
B.Each meal was served five hours later during the second stage.
C.Participants were asked to report their feelings after each stage.
D.Blood and fat samples of the two groups of participants were collected.
【3】What can we learn from the study by researchers at the University of Surrey from 2013?
A.All our body’s genes would be disrupted if we worked through the night.
B.A disruption to the body’s rhythmic genes can cause people to feel bad.
C.The disruption of one gene could lead to the disruption of other genes.
D.Our genes often become less active after a long flight or night of work.
【4】According to the article,________________.
A.there is more than one way to reset body clocks.
B.it’s impossible to reduce the negative effects caused by jet lag or night work.
C.the “master” body clock controls all the other body clocks.
D.a change in meal times can reset the “master” body clock.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The problem is that countries around the world have growing mountains of rubbish because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before, which, of course, raises the public’s concern of our living environment.
How do the society become a throwaway one? First of all, it is now easier to replace an object than to spend time and money repairing it. Thanks to modern technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively. Products are plentiful and cheap, and it’s more convenient to get them delivered nowadays.
Another course is our love of disposable (一次性的) products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Companies produce thousands of different kinds of disposable products: paper plates, plastic cups and cameras, to name a few. It seems that disposable products have become a common part of our life.
Longing for new products also leads to the problem. We are used to buying new things and are always talked into buying something we don’t need. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better and that we will be happier with the latest products. The result is that we throw away useful belongings to make room for new ones. To decrease the amount of rubbish and to protect the environment, more governments are requiring people to recycle materials. However, this is not enough to solve our problem. Maybe there is another way out. We need to repair our belongings instead of throwing them away, we also need to rethink our attitudes towards spending. Repairing our belongings and changing our spending habits may be the best way to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment.
