26、Bangkok (曼谷) developed around the Chao Phraya River. Many of the city’s hotels sit along the river. The areas of Siam and Ratchaprasong are the core of tourist Bangkok. Sukhumvit Road is home to mall after mall filled with every kind of shop.
For the best value, luxury (奢华的) hotels in the Bang Rak and Sathorn Districts are great choices since the area is more popular for office buildings than tourists. The Sathorn Vista, Bangkok is a perfect example. There are several restaurants, a full gym, a beautiful poo1 and outdoor areas.

For families there are a number of connecting room choices, and the hotel is also responsible for bringing in extra beds for children. There is a kids’ club on-site, and parents can even sign older kids up for cooking classes. Another good option for families is Ariyasom villa.

28、School kids have always complained about having tons of homework. A study offers ways to reduce the load (负荷).children are carrying to avoid hurting young shoulders and backs.
Children generally carry about 22 percent of their body weight in backpacks—for a teenager, that can reach more than 30 pounds of books, food, calculators, and other necessities of modern life. When that amount of pressure is placed on one or two narrow shoulder straps (带子), the weight can easily reduce blood flow to kids’ skin and muscles (肌肉).
Even at 10 percent of body weight, the pressures were still high, and that hasn’t been measured before,’’ said Brandon Macias. According to the study, the pressures were measured when the packs were loaded with 10 percent of the students’ body weight, then 20 percent, and finally 30 percent. An unusual finding came to light—even when both straps were used, pressure on the students’ shoulders was uneven (不平均的). It seems like the right shoulder becomes loaded more, which over a period of years may cause back pain.
The research team came up with the following advice based on its study. The backpack should be positioned (放置) high on the back, reducing the stress on the shoulders and back. And backpack straps should be positioned over both shoulders, lowering the amount of weight carried by one shoulder. Wider straps also reduce the pressure on the shoulders. And finally, the weight in backpacks should be reduced.
【1】The study mentioned above was carried out for the purpose of ________.
A. helping kids grow taller

D. Students usually carry a bag about 10 percent of their body weight
【3】The underlined phrase “came to light” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

C. was impossible D. was known
【4】The following are suggested by the research team EXCEPT ________.

29、If you're like most pet owners, you probably talk to your pet all the time, even if you feel a little silly about it. But experts say your pet is actually “talking” back to you, even if you don't totally understand what they're' trying to say. Cats and dogs are extremely cognitive(认知的)beings and communicate with us all the time. A pet's cognition starts developing as soon as they're born and changes with age just like humans.
What is cognition? 【1】 It involves memory, the ability to deal with a changing environment and interacting with other individuals. Just like people, pets go through age-related cognitive changes, but these changes can often be confused with physical issues because they look similar.
How do you notice cognitive changes? 【2】 The following could be clues that your pet's cognition is off.
●They appear confused or cannot remember their training. Forgetting tricks or house training can be clues.
●【3】 If your pet is showing less affection, it may be a sign that they're having trouble remembering people.
●Aggression. Sudden aggression toward strangers and even family members can be a sign that they've lost the ability to recognize people.
● Lack of appetite. 【4】
●Change in sleep-wake cycle. Sleeping all day and staying up all night is not normal behavior and may be a sign of something more.
Giving your pet good nutrition is extremely important. 【5】Certain nutrients like antioxidants(抗氧化物) from vegetables, along with vitamins and fats from coconuts, can all help boost an aging dog's brain. And, if your pet is over the age of 7, it's time to start looking for a senior brand of food. If your pet is exhibiting strange behavior, talk to your vet(兽医) about what next steps you can take.
A.Lack of interaction or affection.
B.They aren't interested in anything.
C.It's not always easy to notice these.
D.Pets have cognition the same as human.
