26、 There are many places to go on safari in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must be one of the world’ most exciting wildlife journeys.
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure(冒险经历), providing rides twice a day to go deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, guides and lots of support workers. They are famous for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes, is more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and nervousness rise suddenly though, as does your heartbeat, as you move closer to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a less exciting and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Though they are peaceful and slow, rides at this time of day are still unforgettable. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

28、 People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program, the more they eat, according to a new research.
It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Hirsch explored the effect of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.
Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late- night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were also given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsh found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.
“If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you’ll eat less because you’ll feel full faster,” Hirsch said in an interview all the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Toronto. “So if that’s the case, let’s look at the opposite. What if you’re distracted? If you’re distracted, in theory then , eat more.”
Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation, which typically results in weight gain became the brain does not know when it should stop eating.
The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(丘脑下部)where the so-called satiety (饱足)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full. If it is stopped tricked the result can be changed in eating patterns, he said,“People who cook spaghetti all day don’t feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day,” said Hirsch. “By being exposed to a smell all day long it’s tricking the hypothalamus.”
Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory taste and smell, in addition to internal body changes, signal satiety. But when distracted, a person does not pay attention to either the body’s sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.
Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. “If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring,” Hirsch said.
【1】What does the underlined word “glued to” in Para. l mean?
A.away from B.performing in C.close to D.lost in
【2】How did Hirsch carry out the research?
A.By watching people eat. B.By interviewing people.

【3】What do Hirsch’s words in Para.6 mean?
A.They think spaghetti unhealthy. B.They have smelt spaghetti enough.
C.They don’t like eating spaghetti. D.Spaghetti has affected the hypothalamus.
【4】What do we know from Hirsch’s study?
A.Inactivity is likely to make people fat.
B.Entertaining shows are the main causes of obesity.
C.The more concentration on food taste, the less you’ll eat.
D.The ventromedial nucleus can tell whether one is hungry or full.
【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.People eat more when watching TV. B.It is not good for our health to eat chips.
C.People enjoy eating while watching TV. D.How people can enjoy the TV programs.
29、A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.
The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being experimented in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.
The bin, designed by start-up company Bin. E, recognizes different types of waste via a system put inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor recognize its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses (压缩) the waste so it occupies less space.
It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn or winter season designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home.”
Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place next year. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin will sell at ￡430 while customers will need to pay a ￡107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.
They added, “After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”
