21、Does eating have anything to do with exercise in our daily life? Some experts suggested that we should wait before exercise after eating. And the food you eat will decide how long you will wait before exercise.
Though not everyone who exercises after a meal experiences problems, eating a meal too close to the time you exercise could lead to discomfort. It’s because most food s take hours to digest and some people feel uncomfortable in the process, which could get in the way of meaningful exercise. “For some, eating right before exercise could cause an upset stomach.” adds Allen, a professor at Missouri State University.
According to recent researches, waiting to exercise after eating may better the quality of your exercise. It can improve one’s physical condition and better the exercise. The question then for many people comes down to how long they should wait between eating and exercising — a question to which there is no clear answer.
A good rule is for the time to correlate with the size of the meal one eats. “If you have a big meal such as a toast and potatoes, wait three to four hours to exercise. For a smaller meal such as a sandwich or a protein bar, wait about two hours. For something light like a piece of fruit or orange juice, thirty to sixty minutes is fine.” she advises.
But there is no hard and fast rule, and the time recommended can vary. “The time you wait depends on you, so experiment and see how long works best for your body.” says Allen, “If you can stand it, feel free to eat a healthy snack before you exercise. What I strongly recommend is to pay attention to your body’s needs and do what is best for you.”
【1】What may happen if you exercise right after eating?
A．You may feel uncomfortable.
B．It may lead to a positive result.
C．You may need hours to recover.
D．It may provide meaningful exercise.
【2】How long should one wait to exercise after eating a sandwich?
A．About 3 hours.
B．About 2 hours.
C．About 30 minutes.
D．About 60 minutes.
【3】What does Allen suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A．Find hard and fast rules.
B．Change the exercise time.
C．Enjoy the healthy snacks.
D．Respect the body’s needs.
【4】Where can the text be found?
A．In a novel.
B．In a history book.
C．In a travel brochure.
D．In a fitness magazine.

23、Human activity has shrunk the size of wild animals the world over, and yet recent research has found many mammals (哺乳动物) living near cities have become steadily larger, both in length and in weight.
“That wasn’t what we expected to find at all,” says Robert Guralnick, who studies biodiversity informatics at the Florida Museum. Expanding urban environments grow much hotter than natural habitats (生长环境), and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller, more energy-saving figure — a principle of biology known as Bergmann’s rule.
As the world grows warmer, some scientists have worried that mammals living near cities are supposed to grow smaller, possibly reducing their fitness as a species and, no doubt, the fitness of being threateners (威胁者), too. But even with climate change, that might not happen. As it turns out, there’s another factor in determining a mammal’s size that might compete with or even go beyond temperature, and that is food.
In and around cities with large populations, where high-energy human foods are more widely available and hunters are fewer and farther in between, new research discovered that most of the mammal species studied appear to be growing in size, not shrinking. According to careful measurements of more than 100 species from North America, gathered from museum collections over the past 80 years, the main reason is not a city’s temperature. Instead, the greatest increases in weight and body length appear to lie among those mammals that live near the most humans, regardless of how hot their surroundings are.
As climate change grows worse, there is, of course, the possibility that that might change, but at least for now, it seems that wolves, deer, bats, and other mammals in North America could be affected more by city populations than city climates.
If we want to preserve the mammals that exist today for the future, it’s important that we know how human civilization is shaping their size, behavior and well-being. In a rapidly changing world, that knowledge could mean the difference between ongoing life and dying out.
【1】What finding does Robert Guralnick consider surprising?
A．Urban environments are hotter than nature.
B．The animals in natural habitats become smaller.
C．Many mammals grow against Bergmann’s rule.
D．City temperatures cause animals to shrink in size.
【2】Why do many mammals living near cities grow in size?
A．They are well taken care of by zoo keepers.
B．They have more foods and fewer threats.
C．They are comfortable in warmer climates.
D．They can easily hunt wild animals for food.
【3】What are we advised to do to protect the existing mammals?
A．Provide healthy food to surrounding mammals.
B．Limit the population in cities to a small number.
C．Know how human civilization affects mammals.
D．Help the mammals adjust to the changing climate.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Human Activity Has Shrunk the Size of Animals
B．Global Warming Is Shaping the Future of Mammals
C．Mammals in Nature Have a Better Chance to Survive
D．Many Mammals Living Near Cities Are. Growing Bigger
24、Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of the country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use liners (活衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and portable,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and it created 110 sleeping bags last December.
Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty are often closely related. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The final goal of Chip Bag Project.
B．The basic rules of Chip Bag Project.
C．The main work of Chip Bag Project.
D．The significance of Chip Bag Project.
【2】What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project?
A．Its size is adjustable.
B．It is easy to carry around.
C．It has the function of heating.
D．It is only made of old coats.
【3】Which of the following statements does Oleita probably agree with?
A．Making sleeping bags is easier than buying new ones.
B．Poverty and environmental problems go hand in hand.
C．Making sleeping bags is the best way to help the homeless.
D．Environmental problems have little impact on the homeless.
【4】Which of the following best describes Oleita?
A．Caring and creative.
B．Brave and optimistic.
C．Honest and determined.
D．Talented and easy-going.
