24、 We know the mosquitoes (蚊子) very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2, 500 kinds of them.
No on likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It’s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite (咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay legs (下蛋). She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.

25、 When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St.Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock(码头), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take out his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelons, eating only the heart-the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, and most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's ideal of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. If you don't take the time to dangle(摇摆)your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work will probably hurt your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
【1】How were the watermelons to the writer when he was young?
A.Not common. B.Not cheap. C.Not delicious. D.Not sweet.
【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A.They ate it in a polite way. B.They only ate its best part.
C.They ate every part of it. D.They shared only one piece.
【3】What did the writer's father think of Bernie?
A.He was just a rich businessman. B.He worked hard all the time.
C.He lived a rich but healthy life. D.He knew how to make money.
【4】What do the underlined words "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The best part of the watermelon. B.The writer's busy life.
C.The writer's decision of making money. D.The writer's hope of enjoying life.
【5】What can be learned from the text?
A.One has to work hard to reach his goal. B.One should help a friend in trouble.
C.Watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D.One should keep work and life balance.
26、We have all been there. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. In fact, the more you try NOT to think about a square of deep, dark chocolate melting in your mouth, the more you want it. You can even smell it!
A food craving is a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Most people have them even though what we crave might be different. One person might crave sweet chocolate, while another might crave salty potato chips.
Sometimes the foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods. Or sometimes we crave foods from our childhoods, like American meatloaf, Polish pirogues or Vietnamese pho. Other times the cravings may be for something healthy but very specific, such as Japanese sushi or Korean kimchi.
But where do food cravings come from? And how are they different from hunger?
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.”
The website explains that when our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain, the hypothalamus, for more food. The hypothalamus (丘脑下部)regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then releases a chemical to start the appetite. And you eat.
A craving is more complicated. It involves several areas of the brain. These areas make up the reward center of the brain. A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.”
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increase the probability of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time, lessened food cravings.
So, the next time you crave food from your childhood or have a strong desire for something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.
【1】How are cravings different from hunger?
A.Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain.
B.A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory.
C.The more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it.
D.Scientists call hunger “stomach hunger” but cravings “mind hunger”.
【2】All of the following foods are mentioned EXCEPT ________.
A.Vietnamese pho
B.Korean kimchi
C.Swiss black chocolate
D.American meatloaf
【3】What does the underlined word “fasting” probably mean in Paragraph 8?
A.eating no food for a period of time
B.happening, moving, or doing something at great speed
C.tightly and firmly
D.not changing your mind
【4】What can we learn about food cravings from the passage?
A.If you go on a diet, it’s more likely for you to crave food.
B.When we crave food, it shows that we are hungry.
C.We eat when our brain releases a chemical to start the appetite.
D.The foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods.
27、 Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending several hours in a gym, according to scientists. Scientists believe social activities can release a brain chemical that changes white fat into brown fat. Brown fat burns calories (卡路里). To produce heat, while white fat keeps calories and make us fatter.
Changing white fat into brown fat is very difficult, generally requiring long-term exposure to cold conditions or making part of the body’s nervous (神经的) system active. However, scientists from Ohio State University think that having a busy social life is an even better way of carrying out this change.
Tests on mice showed that those lived in large communities and had more space and toys lost half of their stomach weight in four weeks, even if they ate more than those in boring, lonely environments. Researchers said that social excitement helps lose weight.
However, social activities make some people worried. Study writer Dr Matthew During said, “I’m still amazed at the degree of losing fat that happens. We often think of stress (压力) as a negative thing, but some kinds of stress can be good for your health.”
Explaining how new technology had reduced the chance for people to communicate face to face, he added, “It’s not just because of being short of exercise and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities. Loneliness is a deep cause of cancer and death, it’s just as dangerous as smoking. Social activities are very important.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Brown fat keeps calories and make people fatter while white fat burns calories to produce heat.
