22、Be a Fit Kid
If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like running around with your friends. 【1】 If you’re a kid who wants to be fit, the trick is to follow these rules most of the time.
【2】
You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you’re more likely to get what your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods may taste better the older you get. Have at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day—two fruits and three vegetables.
Drink water and milk
When you’re really thirsty, cold water is the best choice. However, kids need calcium(钙)to build strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral. 【3】 If you are 4 to 8 years old, drink 2 cups of milk a day. If you’re 9 or older, aim for 3 cups of milk per day, or its equivalent. You can mix it up by having milk and some other calcium-rich dairy foods.
Listen to your body
What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. 【4】 It can also lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Limit screen time

23、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning- and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be. Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World War Ⅱ. Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes, offices, factories, theatres, shops, studios, schools, hotels, and restaurants, and we can see it almost everywhere in today’s America.
But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American. In fact, air conditioning has substantially altered the country’s character and customs.
Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous(显而易见的) that they are scarcely noticed. To begin with, air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy, boxy, sealed-in skyscrapers. It has been indispensable, no less, to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers, whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled. . .
It has, at will, forced families into going back into families with closed doors and shut windows to improve the effects of the air-conditioning, reducing the interactions of neighborhood life. I think there is no need explaining the seriousness of this consequence(后果). It is really surprising that the public’s often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has kept in pace with the historic spread of air-conditioning. Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body, some medical experts suggest that, like other technical avoidance of natural changes in climate, air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress. If so, air-conditioning is only like many other greatly useful technical developments that liberate(解放) man from nature by increasing his productivity and power in some way - while indirectly weakening him in others.
【1】According to this passage, which of the following played a role in the forming of the unique character of U.S.?
A. Its advanced computerized civilization.
B. Its excessive use of air-conditioning.
C. Its public’s retreating into self-pursuit.
D. Its greatest contribution to human civilization.
【2】 According to the author, the chief consequence brought about by the wide application of air-conditioning is ____.
A. the loss of human capacity to adapt to changes in climate
B. the reduction of social communications of neighborhood life
C. the active life style of all its users
D. the decreased human production and power
【3】The tone of this passage reveals that air-conditioning ____.
A. has little effect on its users
B. has more effect on body than on mind
C. brings only damage to its users
D. does harm as well as good to its users
【4】What is the author’s overall attitude towards air-conditioning?
A. Neutral B. Objective C. Critical D. Compromising
24、 For companies around the world and across industries, sustainability(可持续发展) has rapidly gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have. Some famous companies have announced ambitious plans to remove single-use plastics, reduce carbon release and otherwise shrink their environmental footprint in various ways.
Newlight Technologies hopes to speed up that process. The company has spent more than a decade developing a material called AirCarbon, which functions exactly like plastic but is completely biodegradable(可生物降解的). Newlight developed the material using microorganisms found in the ocean that feed on methane and carbon dioxide-two-greenhouse gases among the biggest contributors to climate change. The organisms turn those gases into a natural polymer(聚合物) that can be shaped just like plastic.
“We call that AirCarbon because it's air and carbon that can mix with and become part of water,” CEO Mark Herrema said. “We have this pure white powder that we can then melt and form in all kinds of parts and pieces.” The company's new production facility is filled with large saltwater tanks that recreate ocean conditions, allowing the organisms to make the polymer from which AirCarbon can be obtained.
Newlight recently began rolling out its first set of products made from the material, launching two-brands. Its foodware brand, Restore, sells biodegradable straws, knives, forks and spoons, while its fashion brand Covalent sells handbags, wallets and sunglasses. And because the process of developing AirCarbon uses gases from the atmosphere, the products are carbon negative, meaning they take out more pollutants than they produce. Newlight has received carbon negative certifications from several organizations for its products.
Newlight’s current products are costlier than some traditional products available on the market, since the company has just one facility, which makes it hard to keep prices down. At present, Newlight’s AirCarbon products can remove 100 million pounds of carbon dioxide per year. But Herrema's goal is to build more facilities as quickly as possible and eventually increase that number to 20 billion pounds, which he says is how much plastic ends up in the ocean each year.
【1】What is the advantage of AirCarbon?
A.It is more flexible than plastic.
B.It can partially break down.
C.It helps reduce greenhouse gases.
D.It is an artificial polymer like plastic.
【2】Why has Newlight been certified carbon negative?
A.Its products are of good quality.
B.Its products are energy-saving.
C.It develops two sustainable brands.
D.It removes more carbon than it releases.
【3】What might be the challenge for Newlight’s AirCarbon products?
A.Limited production.
B.Low profits.
C.Few customers.
D.Poor marketing.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.New technology that reduces carbon release.
B.Greenhouse gases that can be used for products.
C.Ocean microorganisms that feed on greenhouse gases.
D.A plastic alternative that might help solve climate change.
