26、Homes are usually warmed with radiators (暖气片). Some homes are warmed by floor heating. Now, a new way of heating is being developed by using the “wallpaper” on your walls. This wallpaper is not decorative. It actually goes under and not over the wall-electrically heats a room. And this type of heating technology heats objects, even people, instead of the air and this helps you feel warmer.
The electric heating panels (嵌板) which are hidden in the wall are connected to the main electrical panels of your home. Each room can be heated independently through an app, so you do not have to heat unused rooms. It takes around 20 minutes to heat a room.
With rising prices for home heating, the panels seen like the right way to go. “It makes me happy that I don’t depend on gas,” Kris Bilski, an early user, said. About 23 million homes in the UK are connected to the gas grid (网) but the government wants to phase out gas-fired pots by 2035. Home heating is responsible for 17 percent of greenhouse gas materials, so removing fossil fuel-based heating will help the environment.
The new electric heating systems are easy to get for private homes and the company is currently testing the new technology in public housing in some cities. The types being tested can be fitted while people are still living in the apartment so it makes installation a lot easier.
Heating your home with this type of technology does not heat your water, so an additional heating system is required, but an energy efficient heater can be used.
While the wallpaper is greener, electricity in the UK is very costly so it is not an economic way to heat homes unless there is a renewable energy source like solar panels used. Still, reducing the dependence on fossil fuels will go a long way to green the UK and help the country meet its climate targets.
【1】What can we infer about a room with this “wallpaper” heater?
A．Special radiators are needed in in.
B．It’s connected to solar panels.
C．The temperature in it varies less.
D．It’s warmer than a normal room.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “phase out” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Slop using.
B．Improve greatly.
C．Restore gradually.
D．Finish developing.
【3】What is one of the advantages of wallpaper heating system?
A．It looks beautiful.
B．It’s easy to set up.
C．It heats up instantly.
D．It fits all buildings.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the use of this wallpaper heating system in the UK?
A．Doubting.
B．Optimistic.
C．Enthusiastic.
D．Unfavorable.
27、Beijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.

29、 In recent years, people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat and salt, more fruits and vegetables.
But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, "There is no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. " And with schools being occupied with test scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eating time.
This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.
This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energy intake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the afternoon.
As Ettinger explains, some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue. This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foods easy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast, and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible.
【1】What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?
A．The quality of school lunches.
B．The performance of school kids.
C．The school lunch time kids have.
D．The eating habits of school kids.
【2】What happens to children in American schools?
A．They are occupied with many tests.
B．They fail to get along with each other.
C．They consume more meat than before.
D．They have less lunch time than before.
【3】How are low-income kids influenced by the problem at school?
A．They can't go to classes on time.
B．They can't have enough energy.
C．They can't share different kinds of food.
D．They can't hold a positive attitude toward life.
【4】What can parents do to solve the problem?
A．Prepare a better lunch for their kids.
B．Stop their kids going to the cafeteria.
C．Force schools to make adjustments to lunch.
D．Guide their kids on how to pack their own lunch.

Next week I’m travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some r【1】 on the country. Located to the south of the e【2】 , below many other countries on the globe, it’s often informally referred to as “down under”.
I have also read about some i【3】 sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can’t w【4】 to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and e【5】 their culture, food, and way of life.
1 Oct
I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived, my friend has b【6】 me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me, so my first i【7】 of Australia have been all about food! A lot of t【8】 Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British. Bakeries, fast-food joints, butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere p【9】 some of the premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian v【10】 of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sum.
