26、 Life today moves faster than ever before. Thanks to technology(技术), the speed of life has increased over the past century. Time-saving inventions, like e-mail and ATM, have made daily tasks more efficient(有效率的). People today need speed. A recent CNN survey shows that sixty percent of Americans say they won’t wait longer than 15 minutes for food or services. A popular restaurant in Japan even asks customers to pay by time spent at table, not by what they eat!
Unfortunately, studies show that life’s hurried pace produces stress and leads to health problems. An online survey at sina. com showed that 56 % of people in China usually feel short of time. They are always busy and feel nervous all the time. Maybe people need to take time to slow down and smell the roses.
However, whether you enjoy speed or prefer a slower pace, it’s easy to be amazed at how fast life moves. And with tomorrow’s technology, it will likely get even faster.

27、It was once thought that only time could mend a broken heart, but now scientists think taking a couple of aspirin might be the best way to get over a break-up.
Previous studies have shown that people experience feelings of romantic rejection (失恋) in the same way that they experience physical pain. And Psychology Professor Water Michel, of Columbia University, also believes that the psychological pain of ending a relationship is similar to physical pain, and should be treated like any other injury. “When we speak about rejection experiences in terms of physical pain, it is not just a metaphor – the broken heart and emotional pain really do hurt in a physical way," he said. “When you look at a picture of the one who broke your heart, you experience a pain in a similar area of the brain which is activated when you burn your arm. ”
Research shows that people who are given a simple painkiller, like aspirin, are able to handle feelings of rejection better than those given a placebo (安慰剂) .
‘Take two aspirins and call me next morning’ would be a cold-hearted response to a friend’s late-night report of fresh heartbreak, but it has a solid basis in the research.
【1】The aspirin is a kind of _________.
A. wine B. fruit C. dessert D. medicine
【2】According to the passage, maybe taking aspirins can ______.
A. mend a broken heart B. burn your arm
C. make people feel pain D. help people get over a break-up.
【3】The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. pains B. hearts C. people D. areas
【4】The best summary for the passage would be “Broken-hearted? _______________ !”.

But everyone in the world should try to do something for our e【2】 A very good way to make the environment beautiful is making parks. A park in a big city is like an oasis(绿洲) in a d【3】. It p【4】a place for relaxing and enjoying nature. In China, people in Shanghai and Beijing are p【5】trees, developing many parks and making green areas in order to make their cities more beautiful.
Also, people must stop t【6】trash(废物) all over. Several years ago big c【7】in the U.S.A., such as New York and Chicago started a program called recycling, and in this program, people collect bottles, newspapers, and other kinds of trash into special containers(容器). Recycling is also being d【8】in China’s cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
There is a lot of pollution around us now. There is also much work to be done. All of us should r【9】it and try to p【10】it.
29、Some days, don’t you think, “Wouldn’t it be nice if the laundry(洗衣) would just do itself?” Self-cleaning clothes may sound _________. But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this _________!

When sunlight _________ the nano-structures, they break down the dirt and stains(污渍). The nano-structures don’t break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down.
According to CNN, the researchers covered the clothing in a solution(溶液) made of silver and copper(铜) nano-structures. _________ it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look _________ new.
So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be clean _________ the time you go inside. It not only makes your life easier, but can also be good for the _________.
