25、①Cathy lived in a house in the country. When it was getting dark, she went outside to feed her chickens and took care of her garden. After that, she went to sleep and woke up naturally in the next morning. She said daylight helped her and gave her energy. She hasn’t been sick for years. She said it was because of daylight that she got more natural vitamin (维他命) D. And she felt less stressed.
②Cathy was not alone. There is an increasing number of people giving up their busy life in the city and moving to the countryside. With fewer night activities in the country, Alex found it easier to get up early when the sun shone through the window. “You can’t imagine how great I feel when I wake up seeing the sun! It’s amazing that I hardly have a stomachache these days.”Alex recalled.
③Scientists did a survey about light and mental health. They found that enough natural light exposure (暴露) has a big influence on our mental health. Morning light naturally has blue light, which helps us set our circadian rhythms (生物钟) and stay alert. They found that greater daytime light exposure has something to do with a reduced (降低的) risk of stress disorder.

At night, they need almost no light. But nowadays, we often spend most of the day indoors, and we always have electric lighting until late night. These behaviors are confusing (困惑, 迷惑) our brains and making us unwell, They often caused mood and sleep problems.
⑤ ▲ Marc Cohen, a professor of natural medicine, suggests going to bed early and going outdoors as soon as we can after waking in the morning. We can go for a walk in the park. We can also read the paper outdoors without sunglasses on. These are great ways to take in early-morning daylight. Also, we can make a weekly outdoor plan, such as climbing the mountains or going for a ride at weekends. More importantly, it is necessary to try to avoid too much artificial light, which is often from smartphones, tablets, TVs and computers. Every step counts, let’s start!

26、The Chinese kite is a symbol of the Chinese art. Flying a kite is a very popular activity in China. In spring, large numbers of people gather in the squares or parks and fly beautiful kites there.
A philosopher (哲学家) called Mozi was said to be the inventor of the Chinese kite. His kite had the bird’s name of “Yuan”, a kind of bird with a long tail. He made the kite out of wood. Later, his student Lu Ban improved it and made the kite out of bamboo.
With the development of paper-making, paper was introduced into the kite-making. The kite got the name “Zhi Yuan”, as “Zhi” in Chinese means paper. And during the Five Dynasties period, people tied the bamboo whistle (哨子) to the kite. When the kite was flying, the air could make the whistle sound like Guzheng playing. So the kite carried the name “Fengzheng”.
From then on, making and flying the kite became very popular in Weifang, Shandong Province. Every year in spring, when the weather became warm, almost every family went out to fly the kite and have a picnic on sunny and windy days. It was an exciting folk activity and a good time to show different beautiful kites. At the same time, they also enjoyed the warm weather and fresh air. The tradition has been well kept until today and has become the world-famous Weifang International Kite Festival, which is held from 20th to 25th in April every year.

27、Five thousand years ago, carrots only grew in Afghanistan (阿富汗) and most were purple. Only a few were orange as they are today! Farmers in the Netherlands (荷兰) were looking for a fruit or vegetable to symbolize their king, William of Orange, and orange carrots were just what they were looking for—they became the ancestors of all modern carrots.
Many plants only grow in certain places on the earth, often deep in the jungle (丛林). The home of potatoes is in the mountains of the Andes in South America. Bananas come from Papua New Guinea and lemons grow wild in China. But once people real ized that many of these plants were good to eat, they took them far from the places where they grew. Fruit, especially, interested thirsty travellers. Arab businessmen transported different fruits and vegetables around the world, such as oranges, which they took from Asia to remote countries such as Spain. The Spanish returned from South America with many new types of food, including chocolate, pepper and corn.
People often had problems deciding what to do with these new fruits and vegetables, or used them for different purposes from today. Carrots were used not as food but as medicine to protect people from poison (毒药) or even (it was believed) to make people fall in love. The first tomatoes and pineapples were grown not as food but to make the garden look pretty. And many people were worried about potatoes—although they are good for us, their leaves are poisonous. In Germany, people only began eating potatoes when the king ordered that people who did not eat them would have their ears and noses cut off!
Today, we are so used to our different types of food that we don’t think about where they came from. But for each pineapple, potato or carrot we eat, there is a long history!
【1】Why did the farmers in the Netherlands prefer orange carrots to purple ones?
A.To serve their king a healthier vegetable.

C.To have a better harvest(丰收).
D.To live a better life.
【2】________ played an important part in spreading fruits around the world.
A.Thirsty travelers
B.Arab traders
C.Spanish traders
D.Chinese traders
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.People today are used to eating carrots to protect themselves from poison.
B.People would rather use the first tomatoes to decorate(装饰) their garden than eat them.
C.People in Germany didn't begin eating potatoes until the king gave an order.
D.Carrots were even believed to make people fall in love.

28、 If you can only do one thing in the US, you should watch a Broadway show.
Have you seen The Lion King? In the movie, Simba, Zabu, Pumbaa and Timon tell a story about love, 【1】[ˈhæpɪnɪs] and responsibility (责任) in Africa. Can you 【2】(想象) this wild movie performed on stage? I didn’t believe it 【3】 I saw the show.

“That’s Timon,” one of my friends shouted. “How can you play such a small animal while you are so tall?”
“All the actors wear animal - shaped clothes. But because of Timon’s small size, I have to wear a green one to 【7】 [mætʃ] the grass while holding the Timon pupper (木偶) in order to show how small he is,” the actors answer.
“Well done! You are a very good Timon!” I cried.
As we walked into the dressing room, we saw more than 1,000 sets of different clothes. “Because we have 【8】 (few) than 200 actors, we have to c【9】 our clothes many times during the show to play other animals,” the actor said.
Everyone must work very hard to make the show so touching and real. 【10】 the end, all of us left with respect for Broadway.
