26、TRUE STORIES IN 100 WORDS
Monkey in the Middle
I often go to the primate （灵长类）building at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. A chimpanzee （猩猩）named Beau began to recognize me. He would copy what I did when seeing me. When I told my friend Jerry about this, he was doubtful. So one day, I brought him with me. Beau came down, looked at me and my friend, then went to get a drink of water. When he returned, Beau spit his mouthful of water at Jerry. Was he envious？ We had a good laugh.
—Sandy Rozelman Euclid, Ohio
A Hard Pill to Swallow
As a doctor, I instruct patients on their new medicines. One day, I was informing a woman about the side effects of her medicine, especially sleepiness. “You won't be able to work or drive while you're taking this,” I told her. “Do you have any questions？” Her little boy, who had been quietly standing next to her, raised his hand. “Can she still cook？” he asked. “Of course, she can,” I replied. His mother explained pitifully, “He was hoping you'd say no.”
—Lita Hernandez Manchaca, Texas

The next, a lawyer, stated that according to Jenkins Brown, two plus two was four. She also failed. The last applicant was an accountant.

27、 The past 70 years have been good for corn production in the Midwestern United States, with yields increasing fivefold since the 1940s. Much of this improvement has been credited to advances in farming technology but researchers at Harvard University are asking if changes in climate and local temperature may be playing a bigger role than previously thought.
In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural cooling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U.S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate,” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change.
Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing planet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planting means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.
There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actually cooled.
The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use is significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.
【1】What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?
A.Local temperature change. B.Advanced farming technology.
C.Climate change. D.Production efficiency.
【2】Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield?
A.The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture.
B.We can change the climate to improve crop yield.
C.We depend on the climate to get food.
D.Crop yield relies less on the climate.
【3】How many factors that benefit corn yields are mentioned in the text?
A.4. B.3.
C.2. D.1.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To explain a mystery. B.To question a common sense.
C.To show a new trend. D.To introduce a research result.
28、 Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble(发牢骚) afterwards. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I'm much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you're dining with Americans, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.
Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomach ache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.
“Quite” good
Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons' ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.
Money talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable—even less discussing our feelings.”
Over-politeness
“It's not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find affected friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.
【1】Margolis’ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that .
A. Britons are particular about food
B. Britons are not good at complaining
C. Americans usually complain directly
D. Americans complain more than Britons
【2】The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means “ ”.
A. differs greatly from B. increases the quality of
C. reduces the strength of D. draws attention away from
【3】What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get on well with westerners.
B. How to start conversations with Britons.
C. Ruth Margolis’ tips on public behaviour.
D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.
29、 If you are like millions of other people in the world, you probably want to live a healthy lifestyle. While many people are able to achieve this lifestyle, there are even more that are looking for ways to improve their health. Here are 5 tips to help you.
1. Healthy diet
The food you eat plays a huge role in what type of lifestyle you live. If you eat fast food every day, you clearly don’t have the best diet. You should eat vegetables, fruits, bread as well as meat and fish, and even some snack foods once in a while.
2. Water
Drink plenty of water every day and it is good for your health. Usually you need to drink 8—10 glasses of water a day.
3. Exercise
Take some exercise every day. You can take a walk, play ball games with your friends, or ride a bike. Exercise is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle.
4. Have fun
Getting out and having fun is important because it helps let out much stress that is bottled up over the days. Go out to a movie with your friends once in a while. Go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. Or if you want more relaxation, take time away from your busy schedule (日程表) to lie down and read a book.
5. Sleep
Without enough sleep, our immune system (免疫系统) will be difficult to get through the day. Getting a good night’s sleep can make much difference in how you feel and how much you can do the next day.
