21、Are you relatively skinny but growing a “beer belly”?
Then don’t be surprised at your next checkup if the nurse measures your waistline to determine your healthy weight. That’s because research is showing that a protruding (鼓出的) belly may be a sign of VAT — a dangerous form of fat around organs deep inside your body. “Studies confirm that visceral (内脏的) fat is a clear health risk,” said Dr. Tiffany Wiley, a senior expert at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Unlike the fat just under your skin, visceral fat raises your risk for heart disease. Experts think that’s because visceral fat raises blood pressure and inflames (使发炎) tissues and organs.
However, you can’t assume you’re safe from visceral fat if your overall weight is healthy, experts stress. That’s because you can have dangerous visceral fat even if you’re not considered overweight — and not have any visceral fat even if you are overweight.
How do you know if your stomach is protruding into dangerous size? Do a check. Non-pregnant women with a waist size greater than 88 cm and men with a waist larger than 102 cm, are at higher risk according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you’re Asian, it drops to 80 cm for women and 90 cm for men. But it is only a rough measure. “The only sure way to know is to check your visceral fat levels on a CT scan or MRI,” say experts.
According to the AHA committee, the most salutary physical activity to “shrink” belly is aerobic exercise. Aerobic means “with oxygen”, so aerobic exercise increases your breathing rate and promotes the circulation of oxygen through the blood. This type of exercise makes the heart work more effectively and improves its ability to move oxygen-carrying blood with every beat. Speed walking, jogging, stair climbing, cycling and swimming are all examples of aerobic exercise.
“However, more studies are needed to determine the best physical activity, food and other lifestyle changes to reduce heart disease risk,” Dr. Tiffany Wiley added.
【1】What would a “beer belly” cause?
A．Enlarged organs inside the body.
B．Higher risk of heart disease.
C．Raised mental pressure.
D．Inflamed stomach.
【2】Who would be relatively healthier according to the experts?
A．A white man with a waist size of 120 cm.
B．A white woman with a waist size of 90 cm.
C．An Asian man with a waist size of 102 cm.
D．An Asian woman with a waist size of 75 cm.
【3】Which word can replace the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 5?
A．Beneficial.
B．Difficult.
C．Enthusiastic.
D．Useless.
【4】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．Doing aerobic exercise can remove visceral fat completely.
B．Heart ability improves when one does speed walking.
C．Further studies are needed to reduce heart disease risk.
D．Food and life style determine one’s body shape.
22、 Within 30 minutes of finding out a little boy named Bodie needed a kidney transplant (肾移植)，Taylor Pikkarainen signed up to try and be his donor(捐献者).
Bodie Hall, from St. Michael, Minnesota, was born with a rare kidney disorder. Neither of his parents could donate their kidney to him and he needed a kidney transplant badly. “It’s like, how do you ask somebody to donate a kidney?” Bodie’s mom Gloria Hall said.
Dad, Brandon Hall, wasn’t a match, and Gloria had already donated a kidney to Bodie’ s older sister who had the same condition. “This was outside of our control,” Brandon said. He was placed on a kidney transplant list, but doctors advised them to go on social media to spread the word to find a donor.
Nurse Taylor Pikkarainen, is a friend of a friend. She said, “It’s definitely part of my calling, helping people. Even just reading his story and seeing his picture on the Facebook page made me think he was the cutest thing ever.” Pikkarainen, a traveling nurse from Minnesota, was working with COVID-19 patients in New Jersey when she heard about Bodie. She filled out the paperwork right then.
Doctors say it is hard to find a well-matched donor, but physicians at M Health Fairview concluded that Pikkarainen was the best match for Bodie out of several possible kidney donors.
The transplant happened on July 9, which was Pikkarainen’s birthday as well. “There’s no way to express how grateful we are, really,” Bodie’s mom said.
“We just told her ‘Thank you’,” his dad said. “We just couldn’t believe that she was willing to do something like that for us.”
Bodie is taking anti-rejection (抗排异药）medication, which will last for the rest of his life. Fortunately, the two of them have recovered and are doing well. In fact, Bodie’s mom said he looks healthier than ever - and even took his first steps not long after the operation!
【1】What happened to Bodie?

【2】What did Pikkarainen do to help Bodie?
A．She helped him find a donor.
B．She donated her kidney to him.
C．She spread his story on social media.
D．She raised money for his kidney transplant.

A．It was out of their expectation.
B．It was a gift for Bodie’s birthday.
C．It was the most selfless act they had seen.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．How to Find a Donor

D．The Powerful Social Media
23、If you don't want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered(凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners' lifestyles.
They say those people can be divided into five categories: nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever's in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are filled with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddies, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
A fridge full of everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want.
This fridge suggests difficulty balancing family and work life. Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water for soda pop; the nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint(暗示) at someone who works hard and plays hard. Also, someone who is not into long term planning.
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
【1】We can know from the first two paragraphs that .
A. some researchers are fond of staring at other people's fridges
B. people don't want others to know about their secrets
C. the food you put in the fridge has something to do with your character
D. there are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people
【2】According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest .
A. don't care much about money when buying things
B. will try their best to stay healthy
C. often stay up late to finish their job
D. prefer to ask others about what to do next
【3】What will those who often eat out put in the fridge?
A. All kinds of food they like. B. Only something to drink.
C. Fruit, vegetables and meat. D. Food rich in vitamins.
【4】What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Keep your fridge a secret B. You are what's in your fridge
C. What to put in the fridge D. Be careful about your fridge
24、 Tears well up in people's eyes for a lot of reasons. A teardrop running down the cheek is the ultimate symbol of sadness, but people may also cry because they just cut an onion, or maybe they're trying to blink out an eyelash.
For the most part, tears help maintain healthy eyes. When you blink, basal (基底的) tears clean and smooth the eyes, which helps you to see clearly, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Moreover, reflex (反射性的) tears, or those that happen unconsciously, help clear the eyes of irritants (刺激物), including dust and the gas that's produced when a knife slices a raw onion, said Andre Silva, a doctoral student of psychology at the University of Minho in Portugal.
Emotions can also bring about tears in humans. These emotional tears can serve as a means of nonverbal communication. Silva said, “Babies cry to signal to their mothers that something's up. It's a pure attention call. Some people think that babies are capable of controlling adults by crying, but that idea is false and misleading, as a baby is not conscious of being tricky: In a way, we can consider these tears as being somewhere between basal tears and emotional tears.”
As people grow older, they begin to use their tears to express emotions, such as happiness or sadness. These tears may promote compassion and empathy in others. But beware of people who may use their tears to control others. “Some sensitive people may be easily controlled through the crying of others, and may easily shed tears that can also be used by others to control them,” he said.
So, emotional tears have both advantages and disadvantages. “They are a powerful communication device and a powerful manipulative (操纵别人的) device,” Silva said. Crying also makes it hard for some people to mask their feelings when they're in the middle of an extreme emotional state.
【1】What's the function of reflex tears?
A．Reflecting our feelings.
B．Being used to affect others.
C．Serving as a means of interaction.
D．Clearing away harmful matters in the eyes.
【2】What may Silva agree with according to the text?
A．Tears are usually used to pity others.
B．Babies burst into tears without tricks.
C．People mask their feelings when crying.
D．Blinking out an eyelash makes it easy to cry.
【3】What can be learned from the text?
A．We ought to identify tears.
B．We should control babies, crying.
C．We need to smooth our eyes by emotional tears.
D．We can hardly fan others' sympathy by tears.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Why do people cry?
B．Why can tears control others?
C．How do people express emotions?
D．How can people make use of tears?
