21、This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. It’s about balancing(平衡) calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just form some habits that lean people have. Stick with them, and you’ll become thin.
(I) Wake-up
When your eyes open，sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out，bend forward until you feel a stretch(舒展) in your back. Hold and then use your abs(腹部肌肉) to lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. It will burn about 10 calories.
(II) Start with soup
When you have your meal，order a clear soup，and have it before having the main food. It can save twice the calories. Besides，you’ll feel fuller，so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
(III) An apple (or more) a day
Apples are packed with fibre and water，so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
(IV) Stand up and walk around
Every time you take the phone，stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more per day than thin people. This trick is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these tricks. With these small changes，you will have a big weight loss.

22、This is going to ruffle(激怒) a few feathers.
PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston, the company's CFO, told the Associated Press.“There might be an ounce or two less in those bags, ” Johnston said. Actually, it's half an ounce less. Regular Lay's are sold in 10ounce bags; flavoured Lay's are sold in 9.5ounce bags; and both are sold for the same $4.29 price. That might not sound like a lot, but it will sound like a lot with a bit of simple maths.
Americans buy some $1.6 billion worth of Lay's potato chips every year. Much of that is sold in bulk—or merely in bags bigger than the standard ones mentioned above. But let's assume for a second that those 10ounce bags are the only ones Lay's sells. That would mean the company sells more than 372 million bags of Lay's in the US each year—or 3.72 billion ounces of chips, at about 43 cents per ounce. It would also mean that that halfounce difference is worth about 21.5 cents per bag, and about $80 million in total per year.
That number is likely a good deal lower, but it's not entirely unreasonable. If Lay's is charging an extra payment for the smaller flavoured chip bags, it's likely doing the same for the bigger ones, too. That tiny halfounce difference might only mean a potato chip or two to you, but it's probably worth tens of millions of dollars to PepsiCo annually.
PepsiCo confirmed that flavoured and unflavoured Lay's chips are sold for the same price, but not in the same quantity. “This allows us to keep the same price point across the brand, ” Jeff Dahncke said in an email. He also suggested that the chip difference has nothing to do with extra profit.“The reason why there is a slightly higher price per ounce for flavoured chips is the added seasonings(调味品)，” he said. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
Some of the markups are simply meant to make up for the added input costs of cheese, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and other flavourings. But some of them are also there(or not there) to increase the potato chip maker's profits. PepsiCo has a soft spot for its specialty potato chips, because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regular ones, according to Johnston.
Perhaps that's why Lay's is getting ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours. The launch is part of PepsiCo's annual “Do Us a Flavour” contest, in which it lets customers participate in the flavour creation process.
【1】What did PepsiCo do to arouse public dissatisfaction?
A．They gave short weight to their flavoured chips.
B．They raised the price of their flavoured chips.
C．They changed the flavours of their potato chips.
D．They put more seasonings into their potato chips.
【2】How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A．By analysing causes.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing figures.
D．By making comparisons.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “has a soft spot for” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A．Has a say in.
B．Has a look at.
C．Has access to.
D．Has affection for.
【4】Why do Lay's flavoured chips charge more per ounce according to Jeff Dahncke?
A．To make more profits.
B．To upgrade their products.
C．To balance additional costs.
D．To satisfy more people's taste.
23、The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils (风险).
【1】The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _________.
A．making huge profits
B．traveling the Silk Road
C．exchanging goods and ideas
D．connecting different civilizations
【2】Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?
A．The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B．Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C．It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D．There were more natural water sources available.
【3】What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?
A．Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B．They were located around the edges of the desert.
C．They were shared by travelers from different countries.
D．Exchanging goods and ideas there was entirely without risk.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origins of the Silk Road.
B．The benefits of the Silk Road.
C．The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D．The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
24、Happiness, that short and delightful feeling, seems all too rare in 2020. But there’s one place where happiness is the name of the game. And, no, we’re not talking about Disney World.
Denmark, currently the second happiest country on earth, is now home to The Happiness Museum, which is created by The Happiness Research Institute, a think tank focusing on well-being, happiness and quality of life. The eight-room museum is devoted to literally bringing happiness to life, reminding visitors what it is that gives value to them and makes them feel good. Led by Meik Wiking, author of three international bestsellers, the museum opened on July 14 in a small 240-square-meter space in Copenhagen.
Visitors to the museum will find many interactive exhibits. Each room is devoted to a specific approach to studying happiness. The politics of happiness exhibit asks questions about the role of elections and GDP in determining national happiness. There’s also a geography of happiness section that explores the role of built environments on happiness levels, as well as showing a world map with the World Happiness Report 2020’s happiness ranking of 153 countries. There are other sections like the science of happiness, the history of happiness and what lies in store for the future.
Certain museum exhibits include visitors’ personal perception of happiness. Can you determine which half of the Mona Lisa’s mouth smiles? How do you explain the meaning of happiness? The museum houses a vast collection of donated artworks donated by people from around the globe, which remind them of happy moments in their lives.
While the museum is a very optimistic place to be, it’s also aware of the difficulties of being a public place in the middle of a global pandemic (流行病). The museum has strict policies in place to ensure social distancing and safety, including only allowing 50 visitors at a time and a one-way path through the museum.
【1】What’s the main purpose of creating The Happiness Museum?
A．To remind people to read books on happiness
B．To help visitors learn and experience happiness.
C．To advise visitors to share happiness with others.
D．To tell people ways to improve their quality of life.
【2】Where can you learn about the effect of built environments on happiness levels?
