21、 Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there will always be a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems, but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles (奇迹) which happen around us each day.
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some proper clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleeping, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries, would give anything to be in your shoes.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then everything you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then you will be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.

22、More often than not, we think the taste of food is largely to do with the ingredients (成分) and the way it’s cooked. However, according to a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, sitting and standing also affect how we enjoy food.
It turns out that food tastes better when we’re sitting down. Lead author Dipayan Biswas, a professor from the University of South Florida in the US, looked specifically at how the vestibular (前庭的) sense, which is responsible for balance, posture and location awareness, works with our sense of taste.
He found that standing for even a few minutes causes people to feel physical stress. This makes our taste buds (味蕾) less sensitive. Gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body, causing the heart to work harder. This increases the heart rate and leads to increased stress hormones (荷尔蒙). All of these reduce sensory sensitivity, which impacts taste and flavor. Our mouths can’t taste or feel temperature as well when this happens.
When people experience discomfort, foods that normally taste good aren’t as pleasing, says Science Daily.
Biswas gave 350 participants each a pita chip and had them rate its tastiness. Those who stood while eating gave it a lower rating than those who sat in comfortable chairs. Next, Biswas and his team gave participants bite-sized brownies from a well-known local restaurant. These brownies are widely considered to be very tasty. Those who sat down to eat rated them highly.
However, when the baker added extra salt, the results were opposite. Participants who stood up to eat the brownies didn’t notice that the brownies tasted salter, while those who were seated found the brownies weren’t so delicious.
In addition, the team tested posture’s effects on temperature perception (感知). Participants were given cups of hot coffee. Those who stood up didn’t think it was so hot. However ,they drank less than those sitting, suggesting on that physical stress may also impact appetite (食欲).
So if you really want to enjoy your meal, try to find yourself a comfortable seat. But if you’re trying to lose weight, eating while standing could be helpful because people tend to eat less while standing. Plus, the physical stress of standing may burn more calories.
【1】What did the new study find about our ability to taste food?
A．Posture may have an effect on how we taste it.
B．The vestibular sense is linked with our tongues.
C．Stress makes good food taste disgusting.
D．Hormones tell our tongues what tastes good or bad.
【2】What could happen when people eat standing up, according to the study?
A．It could lead to a lower heart rate.
B．It could lead to a higher amount of stress hormones.
C．Their mouths could become more sensitive to temperature.
D．They could be more satisfied with the food than those who sit to eat.
【3】What did the researchers intend to test by adding extra salt to the brownies?
A．What flavor of brownies was best received.
B．Why standing to eat leads to a lower rating of food.
C．How posture influences people’s sensory sensitivity.
D．How physical stress affects people’s appetites.
【4】What is the authors attitude toward the finding of the study?
A．Positive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Concerned.
D．Uncaring.
23、Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.
That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.
This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.
For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.
“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”
Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.
【1】What can we know about running in winter?
A. It increases pressure of the body. B. It improves the function of body.
C. It makes your heart rate higher. D. It needs more water than in summer.
【2】What can we know about the research according to the text?
A. Researchers interviewed the subjects
B. Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.
C. Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.
D. Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?
A. Combine. B. Remember.
C. Copy. D. Decorate.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Environmental Chamber B. The Way of Losing Heat
C. Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance D. Biological Measurements of the Runners
24、Dave Mader has been racing for 50 years, and while he always wants to win a trophy, a second-place finish on a national stage had the 65-year-old feeling pretty good.
Mader finished behind Corey Heim, who at 18 years old was born well after Mader’s only victory in the series in a 1991 race at Michigan. Mader competed in 10 Cup events from 1988 to 1992 and still races short tracks throughout the Southeast. He finished 27th in the February at Daytona after a mechanical issue ended his day.
Mader said, “This is huge. I’m 65 years old. This is for all the old people. Isn’t that great I want to cry. It’s so exciting? I’ve been doing this for 50 years. To still be able to do it on any capacity is great. Mander said he got into another car early in the race but had a fairly smooth day.
“I guess they’re going to go, ‘the old man ran into somebody,’” he said with a laugh. “It’s tough out there running 190 and being that close. Things happen.”Heim said he has never met Mader, but he seemed to enjoy hearing the history of Mader’s accomplishments.“It’s pretty unreal to see people like that up front. He was a very smart, clean racer,” Heim said.
Mader has no plans of slowing down.
He said, “I’ve been doing it all my life. It’s what I’ve always done. I do it for fun. I love the trophy. It’s not about ego or anything like that. I just enjoy it. I’ve been pretty good at it for a long time, and as long as I feel good and be fair, I want to continue doing it. ”
