26、Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a study by Cornell University suggests how lifestyles and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed (挤压) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned (灌装) and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely (很少地) goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent lifestyle changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity (肥胖)—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance (认可) and the young decline older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.
【1】According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, in what way are the French different from Americans?
A.They can’t sense when actually full.
B.They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyle.
C.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
D.They go shopping at huge supermarkets more frequently.
【2】On how to stay slim, Mireille Guiliano probably agrees that____________.
A.one has to go to the gym every day
B.one has to know how to eat much food
C.when eating, one should know when to stop
D.when eating, one has to empty his plate every time
【3】The underlined word “decline” in the last paragraph probably means .
A.defend
B.trace
C.cite
D.refuse
【4】The text is mainly about the relationship between____________.
A.lifestyle and obesity
B.children and adults
C.fast food and overweight
D.Americans and the French
27、A 24-year-old female space commander(指挥员) Zhou Chengyu has been a heated topic on Weibo since Chinese state media highlighted her as one of the women involved in the successful launch of the Chang'e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器) on 23 November. Social media users have been referring to her as a "source of pride" for the country. 【1】 Several people jokingly reflected on their own achievements, commenting how far behind in life they were in comparison.
Starting in 2004, the Chang'e Programme consists of three stages of "orbiting", "landing" and "returning". 【2】 In December 2013, the goal of China's first soft landing on the lunar surface and ground exploration on the Moon was achieved by the lander and Yutu Lunar Rover of Chang'e-3.

The Chang'e-5 mission is China's third successful Moon landing in seven years.【3】 If successful, China would be the third country to bring lunar samples back to Earth after the United States and the Soviet Union.
Most Chinese know the story of the mythological Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon. People can't hear the word "Chang'e" without picturing romantic images of a moon goddess. 【4】 And so pictures of Zhou Chengyu have been all over state media, with comments about how she is a "front-line soldier in the field of aerospace" and a "big sister" that young Chinese can look up to.
However, the huge amount of interest in the Guizhou Province native has not appeared to have had much of an effect on her. 【5】
A.Her story in particular has inspired the public, considering her young age.
B.She refused repeated requests for interviews in order to focus on her work.
C.However, China has been trying to highlight strong female figures in the country.
D.Despite her young age, Zhou is now working at Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site.
E.Its aim is to gather lunar rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about the moon.
F.For this reason, China's mission to the moon was calling out for a strong female figure(女性形象).
G.China completed the "orbiting" phase by launching Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 lunar probes in 2007 and 2010.
