21、 You’ve heard the old advice that skipping meals is a sure-fire way to ruin a weight loss plan, but a new study presented this week at the annual Obesity Society Meeting in New Orleans suggests that perhaps we've overlooked the benefits of selective fasting. According to the research, eating during a smaller window of time each day and skipping your evening meal could have a positive health effect.
The study concluded that overweight individuals who ate during the day and fasted during the evening reported fewer hunger swings and burned more fat at night, WebMD reported. However, although this diet plan results in more fat burned in the evenings, it did not seem to increase fat burning overall. Due to this, at this moment it’s still unclear as to how this eating schedule can affect general weight loss.
“At this point, we are not sure whether or not total fat burning is increased,” study lead author Courtney Peterson told Medical Daily in a recent email. “We will need to do a larger study to find out for certain whether or not time-restricted feeding improves fat burning.”
Still, although the results do not indicate a clear association between nighttime fasting and weight loss, they are still important for the world of nutrition. For example, Peterson told Medical Daily that she was surprised to find that participants did not report being hungrier than average, or have above-average swings in hunger levels, despite fasting daily for 18 hours.
“So we overturned the belief that fasting for longer period each day when the same number of total calories are eaten makes a person hungrier,”wrote Peterson.
While the effects of fasting and time-restricted feeding have been studied and proven to work in a rodent(贴齿动物)model，research on human subjects is still in its early stages. For this reason，Peterson explained that it is far too early to say，with factual evidence as backing，that time-restricted feeding will improve weight loss in humans. Still，Peterson explained that practicing this eating behavior does have obvious benefits，such as reducing overall food intake，and suggested that practicing time restricted eating a few times a week could be both practicable and healthy.
“It could be used for short-term goals or longer-term goals，"concluded Peterson." As far as we know，it is safe for adults，although pregnant women and children should not try it.”

23、Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.
【1】 Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend.
It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. 【2】 A cook is praised for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? Do you ever praise your paperboy for getting the paper to you on time 365 days a year?
Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas station attendants, waitresses-even housewives. 【3】 Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.
【4】 It only takes a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce. 【5】
So, let’s be alert to the small excellences around us and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other people’s lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own.
A．We are accustomed to accepting praise.
B．A student is ignored despite his good work.
C．To give praise costs the giver almost nothing.
D．It’s strange how cautious we are about praising
E．Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”
F．An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture.
G．“I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain.
24、In the struggle to survive the ever hotter deserts of California, there are winners and losers. Among the losers are desert birds, whose populations have fallen among the heat stress of climate change. The winners, it turns out, are small burrowing mammals（穴居哺乳动物）, which take refuge from the sun underground. Researchers noted that the stable mammals populations formed a striking contrast to the extremely bad condition of birds.
But why? Birds had a higher evaporative（蒸发）heat loss. Birds were more exposed to the effects of warming, so they had higher energy costs to maintain their body temperature. However, mammals were able to reduce their body temperature by using burrows during the day.
Temperatures have risen about 4 degrees Fahrenheit on average across the area studied, but the heat affects birds and small mammals differently. As part of the study, scientists modeled each species' body temperature and cooling needs under different desert conditions. To calculate that, they measured the conductivity（传导率）of the animals' fur or feathers, and used information on their heat reducing behaviors.
The models showed that in the fight against climate change, there was not a level playing field for furred and feathered desert animals. Cooling costs—or the resources needed to maintain stable body temperature—were about 3. 3 times higher for birds than they were for small mammals, the study reported.
Small mammals have shown this remarkable stability. It's really quite interesting that, in the same region, with the same level of climate change, these two species have responded very differently to the changes taking place. Insights into the status of different species can help scientists take steps to protect them, such as increasing fire prevention in high desert areas, and enhancing water sources in those areas. The study also demonstrates that climate change is already reshaping the California desert

B．Birds in the desert were defeated by climate changes.
C．Animals living underground have higher cooling costs.
D．Temperature rise affects the burrowing mammals little.
【3】What is the possible meaning of the new finding?
A．Burrowing mammals may help birds during the day.
B．Governments will improve water quality.
C．Man will reshape the deserts to save themselves.
D．Scientists can save species with scientific means.
【4】What do we know from the text?
A．It's time to change the deserts into green fields.
B．Desert birds are more likely to survive in deserts.
C．Burrowing mammals' habitat needs improving greatly.
D．Burrowing mammals survive climate change underground.
25、Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. But after adventuring along a new path last April, he was lost.
As the day faded into dusk, following hours of______wandering, his concern turned to fear. The terrain (地形) was remote and______. Compean was unprepared for anything ______the two-hour journey he'd planned.

The sheiff's search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night______looking for Compean, so they______the photo to the public, hoping someone might know the location.
Kuo______looking for where photos are taken. When he saw the image of Compean's legs surrounded by rocks and greenery, he automatically pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. After______the greenery with the satellite map, Kuo realized Compean had got to be on the south side because there's not really any green valleys on the north side. That finding______his search, leading him to an area that______the terrain in the image. He cross-referenced the original photo with 3-D images of the area from Google Earth. The locations______!
