21、Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes, dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.
Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate has none.
But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat, they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds, said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this, dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.
First , buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. “Generally speaking, the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said,
Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali (碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.
And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories,
【1】Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of .
A. rich minerals
B. less sugar
C. cocoa flavanols
D. fewer calories
【2】What does the underlined word “treat”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Something enjoyable.
B. A salt-free diet.
C. Food paid by others.
D. A cure for an illness.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.
B. White chocolate is good for health.
C. One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.
D. Alkali can affect flavanols’ content.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show his love for dark chocolate..
B. To promote the sales of chocolate.
C. To provide facts about dark chocolate.
D. To make a distinction among chocolates.
22、Bringing in and engaging diverse people in your organization requires awareness and preparation. When employees don't feel included, they're less engaged and productive. 【1】 That's why some leaders are concluding that what they've been doing isn't working. This is a result of bringing people in but not supporting them as full participants in the organization. This is where inclusion comes in.
【2】 When a workplace is truly inclusive, everyone feels like they are valued and their needs are being considered. There's a place, for example, to be a working mother without feeling like you have to apologize or explain that you need to balance work and parenting.
Companies that are good for working moms are also good for humans. 【3】 They want to be part of companies that readily acknowledge people have priorities outside of work and recognize this does not mean they're any less productive or less committed.
Although companies have talked for decades about trying to develop a sense of inclusion for working moms, very little has changed. 【4】 They have to handle questions about limitations such as a lack of time, commitment, and focus.
Working moms are valuable employees who we should actively guide and promote. They bring a lot to the table. In fact, a productivity study of highly skilled workers in 2014 found that parents were more productive than those who were not parents. 【5】
Professional cultures that make employees feel included are places where employees can do their best work, individually and on teams. These cultures experience higher engagement because people are well-positioned to stay for the long term.
A.Inclusion means being aware that each person is unique.
B.Building a culture of inclusion is about thinking long term.
C.Mothers often still have to defend themselves in the workplace.
D.Being a working parent makes it harder to advance in their future.
E.They're not happy and will eventually leave for a better environment.
F.Working moms seek out companies with better support and understanding.
G.Mothers of two or more children were considered the most productive in the study.
23、How to get a good letter of recommendation
Your professors are often asked to write hundreds of letters of recommendation during teaching in colleges. 【1】, they do play a key role in helping employers get an idea of an applicant’s personality, persistence, and passion. Here are four points to keep in mind when it comes to asking for letters of recommendation.
【2】. Ideally, the letter writer will know you well and have plenty of positive things to say without much make-up. But it never hurts to share your personal statement that includes your accomplishments and passions. After all, it’s you that know how to let your highlights stand out.
Don’t tell your professor what to say. This one is a little tricky, because it seems to contradict the tip above. 【3】, but avoid telling him exactly what to write. Professors know how to pen an effective letter of recommendation well.
Don’t ask for a letter at the last minute. Rule of thumb: Give the professor at least a few months’ notice. Remember, your professor will spend quite a while composing the letter of recommendation, so express your request in a respectful, appreciative and thoughtful way. A last minute request will annoy the professor, and it may also lead to a sub- standard letter. 【4】.
Express your gratitude. A thoughtful letter of recommendation takes time. 【5】. Most professors write dozens of recommendations, if not more. Be sure to let them know that you appreciate their time and effort. Don’t risk ending up with a regret by forgetting to send a handwritten note with a sincere thank you.
A.Nobody wins in such a hurry
B.Expose a real yourself accordingly
C.Maintain a good relationship with them
D.And chances are you aren’t the only one asking
E.Give the professor a broad outline about your request
F.While these letters may not be as important as test scores
G.Because the employers care much about the recommendation
24、 A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won multiple gold medals for her school during a provincial sports despite not having proper running shoes.
Rhea Ballos, an 11-year old student of Salvacion Elementary School in Balasan, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.
Facebook user Valenzuela posted images of the girl with her feet wrapped in brown plaster (石膏) bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word "NIKE" on the sides of her "shoes" to complete the "Nike running shoes" look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track.
While she was virtually (实质上) barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her opponents (对手) who all wore proper footwear intended for running. According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the inter-school sporting event held in Iloil, central Philippines.
When images of her "Nike" footwear were spread widely, Filipinos on social media showered her with praises for her dedication and character. Many noted that instead of wallowing in self-pity. she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her "running shoes."
Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. It did not take long for Jeffery Cariaso, a famous coach, to take notice of Ballos' outstanding performance. He immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner to help her.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born two months premature with underdeveloped lungs and a heart condition. The doctors told my mom that I wouldn’t livelong enough to make it out of the hospital. As the days went by, the doctors couldn’t believe I was still alive. They told my mom I was making a miracle. With each new day came new struggles and challenges, but also more hope. Everybody began to see that I was a fighter. After about a month, I exceeded their expectations and was released from the hospital two days later.
Then, one day I began crying uncontrollably and turned purple. My mom took me to the emergency room. There was a blockage in one of my heart valves (瓣膜) and I would need heart surgery immediately to release it. The surgery took four and a half hours, but the doctors were able to clear the valve completely. I was strong enough to go home after just two weeks. Everybody agreed that I was he exception to the rule.
Years went by and I was pretty much just like every other kid. I did still have to take medicine for ny heart every day and go to the doctor once a month for checkups. When I was in eighth grade, things started to go downhill. I had a constant pain in my chest. The doctors performed test after test trying to determine what was causing the pain. When I was just about to say “Enough”, they finally found the problem. It wasn’t good and I’d have to start a treatment program for it right away. That meant missing quite a few days of school though.
I was out of school for about a month when my teacher called and told my mom there was no way I’d be able to catch up on all the work in order to graduate with my class.
