21、Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食) is an eating plan that switches between fasting and eating on a regular schedule. Research shows that intermittent fasting is a way to manage your weight and prevent some forms of disease.【1】
In previous time, it was easier to maintain a healthy weight. There were no computers, and TV shows turned off at11 p. m.; people stopped eating because they went to bed. 【2】 We stay awake for longer hours to catch our favorite shows, play games and chat online. We’re sitting and snacking all day and most of the night.
Intermittent fasting is all about when we eat instead of what we eat. With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. You can fast for a certain number of hours each day or eat just one meal a couple days a week. 【3】 Scientific evidence points to some health benefits, as well. These include a longer life, a leaner body and a sharper mind.
【4】 For instance, you may choose to try 16/8 mode: eating for eight hours and staying hungry for16 hours. Another, known as the 5:2 approach, involves eating regularly five days a week. For the other two days, you limit yourself to one 500-600 calorie meal. But longer periods without food are not necessary. Going too long without eating might actually encourage your body to start storing more fat in response to starvation.
Intermittent fasting is safe for many people, but it’s not for everyone. Skipping meals isn’t the best way to manage your weight if you’re pregnant. 【5】 Talk to your doctor if you start experiencing unusual anxiety, headaches, or other symptoms after you start intermittent fasting.
A.Overweight people benefit most.
B.It can be a lifestyle change with benefits.
C.Health benefits arise in intermittent fasting.
D.You can pick either a daily or a weekly approach.
E.Nowadays, TV and other entertainment are available 24/7.
F.Doing so can help burn body fat little by little without being noticed.
G.Remember to check with your doctor before starting intermittent fasting.
22、Flowerbeds can add great beauty to your yard and can be enjoyable to plan and care for, but it takes more than a few flowers for a flowerbed to be bird-friendly. 【1】
From start to finish, it is important to keep birds' needs, safety and preferences in mind when planning a flowerbed.
【2】 So it will provide better shelter and security for the birds. Flowerbeds around a tree give birds more natural shelter, or if the bed is to be in the middle of the yard, be sure it's not too far from other shelter so birds have more space to use.
When choosing the plants and flowers for the bed, consider the overall spacing. 【3】 This will not only help air and sunlight circulate to keep plants healthier, but some birds will take advantage of the space in their search for seeds and insects.
【4】 Choose seed-bearing flowers for birds as well as flowers that attract hummingbirds. Besides, choose varieties with different bloom times and durations to keep a ready supply of food always available. Choosing flowers in colors that attract birds will also help them notice the bed sooner.
A flowerbed doesn't have to be just flowers. Add a few grasses for birds, a small tree or berry-producing bushes. 【5】 As with flowers, opt for plants that produce seeds or fruits at different times, and select varieties with different heights to create deep layers for good shelter.
A.You should leave some space between plants.
B.It is always possible to create a bird-friendly flowerbed.
C.Here are some steps for designing a flowerbed for birds.
D.Birds will appreciate the traditional food sources and shelter.
E.Most flowerbeds are placed alongside a house, garage or shed.
F.Choosing flowers that benefit birds will ensure a bird-friendly flowerbed.
G.A pretty bird feeder or a bird house on a simple pole can all be great choices.

24、 In a classic episode(片段) of The Simpsons, Homer's class reunion ends in shame when one of Homer's guilty secrets is exposed: he never graduated from high school. To get his diploma, he must pass a science test. As he sits down to retake the exam, he holds one of his trademark dialogues with his brain. “All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you. But let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.”
Many a true word is spoken as a joke. Homer Simpson's Everyman character really is an Everyman. For most people, engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feels too much like hard work. It is so much easier to quit and let the brain's autopilot take over.
And no wonder. Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental shortcuts that make life manageable. If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision, we would break down. As a result, certain ideas and modes of thinking come naturally to us, such as effortless thinking.
But at huge cost. Our mental shortcuts work fine at the level of individuals and small-scale societies, but in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, they are a danger to society. Effortless thinking is at the root of many of the modern world's most serious problems; terrorism, hatred, inequality and religious extremism. All are caused by people disengaging their critical thinking and going with their gut(非理性的) feeling.
Everybody is capable of gut feeling, but also of the critical thinking. Both thinking styles are needed to make the world go round. Unfortunately, the latter requires training that is unavailable or unappealing to many people.
One of the bright spots in 2017 was the start of a movement called the March For Science. Those who believe in the power of science need to keep on marching, or give more power to people who don't much like their own brains - or other people's.
【1】What does the author want to convey through Homer's story?
A.Feeling is very important.
B.Drinking beer is harmful to one's brain.
C.Most people hate effortful thinking like Homer.
D.High school seniors should work hard.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph four?
A.Some people are only able to have gut thinking.
B.Gut thinking is expensive for people.
C.Critical thinking is better than effortless thinking.
D.People prefer effortless thinking to critical thinking.
【3】What does the author think of critical thinking?
A.It makes the world go round.
B.It leads to the March For Science in 2017.
C.It works fine at the level of personal affairs.
D.It needs necessary training.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.We Need to March towards Science
B.Critical Thinking Is Urgently Needed
C.Effortless Thinking Is out of Date
D.Thinking Contributes to Social Problems
