26、 Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How disappointing!【1】.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the extra energy from food as fat. 【2】Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they seldom have weight problems.
To prove this, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. 【3】 These genes get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can aim at the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems.【4】 .
【5】 That’s because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and completely test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise.
A.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well.
B.They found that weight gaining had nothing to do with genes.
C.These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day.
D.They also believe they have now found the genes that may cause this tendency.
E.And they never mind what they look like and continue to eat as they would like to.
F.This means they are at risk of illnesses such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
G.However, scientists are beginning to believe some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
27、 I’ve been taking time this week to stop and smell the roses. Literally, I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, check that nobody is watching, and then bury my head in the flowers.
I’ve also been walking into bakeries, walking around without buying anything.
After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things.
This week, however, my nose is back in business.
I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. A pleasant smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?
The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.
We don’t write postcards about the small things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.
As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch I can’t reach!
【1】With the first two paragraphs, the writer mainly tries to .
A.give examples of how she kills time B.show that she loves doing secret things
C.get readers to wonder about her behavior D.discuss new ways on how to enjoy spare time
【2】What does the underline phrase “a new way of thinking” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.A habit of overcoming ignorance.
B.A habit of giving personal consideration.
C.An ability to fully use our limited attention.
D.An ability to discover the pleasure of small things.
【3】The tone of the story is .
A.lively B.sad C.calm D.serious
28、Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?Whether your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.
【1】
The first step is to find out what you’re worried about. Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even if it might not be so easy.
Think of the ways to make it better.
【2】 Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. Grades at school are often a top worry for students. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★How do I get ready for class?Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?
★Do I have a good place to do my homework?【3】
★Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do-write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, apologize to him or her etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.【4】
Ask for help.
When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with. 【5】 They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.
A.Try to find out the causes.
B.Seek ways to make you feel happy.
C.Consult your teacher when in trouble.
D.You can turn to your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
E.There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried.
F.Actually the grades will improve when you deal with the homework seriously.
G.Things will become better if you are willing to think of various ways to deal with them.
29、The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year
Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2022 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.
Qaanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan
Photographer Kiliii Yuyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.
Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter
It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.
Minneriya. Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton
Photographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.
The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was collapsing in economic decline. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

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.
