26、 As technology and supermarkets have made buying food easier and more convenient than ever, researchers believe people are growing more distant from the food they eat. As knowledge about crops, food production, and healthy eating is lost over generations, some school districts are looking to reconnect children with their food by educating them in a garden setting. Researchers observed one “school garden” in a rural Midwestern school district, in which teachers held classes outside in a garden one or two times per month.
“We have lost touch with a lot of basic skills related to food, which raises concerns for the future of food production and the eating habits of our children. And we wanted to see if allowing children to ‘taste’ their education in a garden setting could have the potential to reorient (重新定位) them toward environment and health issues that will only become more important as they grow. This case study showed that the answer is ‘yes’. The potential is there.” says Mary Hendrickson, an associate professor of rural sociology at the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
The idea of school gardens is not new, but most of these programs have occurred in wealthy urban settings. Beginning as an after-school club led by volunteers, the program eventually changed to the control of the school district. The district joined it into the school day an average of one or two times per month, when students would attend classes outside surrounded by fruits and vegetables. Each grade level received their own garden.
Researchers found that school garden education affected the children beyond the classroom, with students expecting healthier choices on the school’s salad bar and starting their own gardens at home, as well as generally expressing more interest in food production and preparation, encouraging them to develop an appreciation for fresh, healthy foods.
“What we heard from the people involved in this program is that their children are more interested in eating healthier food and have choices of food systems like organics and farmer’s markets, giving children more control over their lives.” says Mary.
“I think that people recognize that we are a rural community, but we are not healthy eaters,” one participant said. “We do have cattle and chickens, but we don’t have gardens because when I was growing up … we didn’t talk about healthy food. Nobody really grew food.”
【1】What are some schools trying to do to their students?
A.To teach them to build a school garden.
B.To advise them to eat health food.
C.To bring them together with food.
D.To remind them to learn knowledge.
【2】What is Mary Hendrickson’s attitude towards the practice of building a “school garden”?
A.Critical. B.Favourable.
C.ambiguous. D.neutral.
【3】What is the finding of the researchers about the students?
A.They will have the abilities to make informed choices of food.
B.They will learn some skills to prepare for their everyday food.
C.They will probably eat more healthy salad than meat.
D.They will take an active part in out-of-class activities.
【4】What is the passage mainly discussing about?
A.The significance of developing healthy lifestyles.
B.The change in people’s buying food in the future.
C.The education of reconnecting students with food.
D.The necessity of teaching students gardening.
27、 Don’t get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promises to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa (UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term payoff of studying.
“For the teenager, the rewards are seductive.” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager’s best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”
For parents, that means limiting distractions so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology,” Vaidya says “But some help in resetting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”
In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive(冲动的), make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.
“We wanted to try to understand the brain’s reward system and how it changes from childhood to adulthood," says Vaidya, who adds that the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescent behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological(神经学上的)aspects of their results.

28、One day, I was sitting in a local coffee shop, and staring at this man in a wheelchair. He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat.
He saw me staring at him and invited me to join him at his table. His name was Stephen. For several hours we sat at that table and we got to know each other on a deeply personal level. I had never known a man who was more radiant(容光焕发), more energizing to talk and get to know than Stephen.
Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver. He was in the natural gas business. Thirteen years before, when he was forty, he was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery to occur any moment.
He said, “I had so much nervous energy. I saw the storm clouds gathering, and I decided to clean out the gutters(屋檐排水沟) rather than sitting around waiting for this gas well to come in.”
He climbed up the ladder to clear the piles of pine needles(松针) on the roof. As he backed up, he accidentally fell off the roof. He landed on his back. He was paralyzed(瘫痪) for the rest of his life, except for his head and his hand.
I asked him, “How do you do it all? How do you suddenly stop hiking, fishing, and running marathons?”
He said, “There are three things you have to do when something like this happens. The first thing you have to do is adjust. The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.”
He said, “By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations. If you can’t be a physical athlete any longer, then perhaps you can be a spiritual athlete.” He was.
【1】Why was the author staring at Stephen at the coffee shop?
A．Stephen took food specially.
B．Stephen greeted him with a smile.
C．They knew each other before.

29、It’s at this time of the year that marathon recovery, not marathon training, starts to take center stage.
Research indicates that the muscle damage from running a marathon can last up to two weeks. The research also indicates that muscle soreness(肌肉酸痛)is not a good indicator of muscular healing. In other words, just because you aren’t sore anymore doesn’t mean that you are fully healed. This is the danger for marathon runners: post-marathon muscular soreness fades after a few days but minor damage within the muscle cells remains. If you return to full training too soon — running more and faster than the tissues are ready for — you risk delaying full recovery and the chance to get ready for your next goal.
The solution, it appears, is to recognize (and accept) that the muscles will take a while to heal and to be prepared to take it easy for the first couple of weeks (even longer if you’re particularly sore after your marathon). While the research isn’t very promising when it comes to things to do to reduce soreness and aid healing, a couple of concepts（观念）appear to help. First, providing gentle blood flow to the area helps bring healing nutrients into the muscles and also helps to remove waste products and damaged tissue. Walking and gentle massage(按摩)can help, particularly in the first few days after a marathon. Once muscle soreness has significantly reduced (usually two to four days after the race), light jogging can commence（开始）. Just be mindful to run very slowly.
No runner wants to get super fit and then lose that during the recovery process. But since you must reduce your training load following your marathon, it can be difficult as to how much and how soon to insert running into your post-marathon training.
【1】When should marathon runners return to full training?
A．About half a month after the competition.
B．A few days after soreness disappears.
C．Before the tissues recover completely.
D．Before the next game draws closer.
【2】How can marathon runners reduce their muscle soreness?
A．Through family care.
B．By doing gentle exercise.
C．Through medical treatment.
D．By removing damaged tissue.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Recovery after Marathon.
B．Soreness with Sports.
C．Healing Muscle Soreness.
D．Reducing Training Load.
【4】What does this passage probably tell us？
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Seeing is believing.
C．Never too late to learn.
D．Haste makes waste.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Flat photos may never be out of fashion. But if you are a creative person who is always 【1】 for new things, you may consider printing a photo of yourself in 3D.
In December, the Omote 3D photo booth, the world’s first 3D photo booth that can 【2】 action-figure-size versions of people, was opened in Japan. Less than a month later, two 3D photo booths of this kind were opened in Beijing and Xi’an, bringing the cutting-edge 【3】 even closer to home.
Omote 3D is taking the photo booth into the next dimension by 【4】 customers the chance to be full-body scanned and given a plastic figurine-pocket-size (袖珍的小雕像) mini-me of themselves.
“The photo studio is a very 【5】 place for Japanese families to shape their memories, ”Naoki Ito, creative director of branding agency, told The London Guardian. “Our idea is to 【6】 to capture you and your family’s portraits (肖像) in 3D.”
The 【7】 involves a 15-minute scan with a handheld scanner, during which the 【8】 must stay completely still, in the manner of early portrait photography—no doubt 【9】 in similarly rigid (僵硬的) poses and fixed stares. The scanner cannot yet detect small, detailed patterns or shiny materials, nor can it 【10】 small accessories (配饰) such as earrings, glasses or bags.
