24、Have you ever bought Genki Forest sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free”? The company recently said that they were sorry for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”, but this is not the same as “sugar-free”? Now the company has changed the word “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottle.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar, Sucrose in just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as Iructose and sugar alcohol, are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners. They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why low sugar drinks like Genki Forest are popular who want to lose weight. They believe that they can not only enjoy sweet drinks but also avoid taking in too much sugar.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, they send your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the low-sugar soft drink has little energy, the brain will not receive what it is expecting. At this time, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many low-sugar drinks might lead to fatness and many other diseases. It’s time for you to think twice when you want to keep up with the fashion.
【1】Why did Genki Forest recently say sorry?
A.For not having any sugar in its drinks.

【2】What do we know about Genki Forest from Paragraph 3?

B.People can lose weight by drinking its drinks.
C.Its drinks taste sweeter than other drinks.

C.They provide enough energy for people.
【4】According to the last paragraph, drinking lots of low-sugar drinks cam be ________.
A.harmful

A.Genki Forest-the Most Popular Drink

25、Jerry: Hello, will you tell me something about Tae Kwon Do?
Kim: Yes, of course. You know it is one of the martial arts(武术) of Asia. Tae Kwon Do comes from ancient Korea, but is now popular all over the world. There are different types, but the important thing is that the leg, not the arm, is used most for fighting. The leg is the strongest and longest part of the body and, if you use it carefully, you can defeat(打败) your enemy. Of course, we use the leg to kick. There are three kicks we use. There is a fourth, but it can kill people and is not used in the sport.
Jerry: Do you know that kick?
Kim: No, only a few champions(冠军) with great skill learn it.
Jerry: Tell me about the belts(腰带).
Kim: Yes, beginners have white belts to show they know nothing. Then you move through a number of colors. Different schools of Tae Kwon Do are different. My school has ten colors. The top level is black. And there are nine types of black belts. The very top are the Grand Masters. I will never be one of those!
Jerry: How many Grand Masters are there?
Kim: I think there are twenty. I will give you my Tae Kwon Do Yearbook. The different belts are described there and there is a list of Grand Masters.
Jerry: Who can enjoy Tae Kwon Do?
Kim: In the past, Tae Kwon Do was for men, but now it is for boys and girls. If you are strong, want a chance for exercise and enjoy skill, it is a good sport for you. I think it attracts serious people as you need discipline(训练;纪律) and a lot of thoughts. It is not like football, running around, shouting and having fun.
Jerry: What happens in a match?
Kim: Two people fight. They must follow rules. If you touch the right part of the other person’s body, you get a point. You lose points if you break any rules. There are three two-minute fights in each match.
