21、 You may want to bring honey the next time you have a cold, a study says. That's because honey has been shown to provide better cough relief than some over-the-counter drugs, Oxford University researchers said in findings published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.
“Honey is more effective than usual care choices for improving upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, particularly reducing cough frequency and cough severity,” the scientists said in the findings.
Researchers said they reviewed 14 past studies about upper respiratory tract infections, also known as common colds. Symptoms can include runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat and coughing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).
Four of the studies examined comparisons between honey and diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can be used to relieve coughs, according to the U. S. government. It's sold at U. S. drugstores under several brand names and is combined with other ingredientsin some cold medicines.
In their findings, Oxford scientists said honey was “significantly better than” diphenhydramine at improving cough symptoms. The results came from studies that included 385 participants, data show. But honey was “not significantly better” at cough relief when compared to another class of medicines, called dextromethorphan, according to a review of two studies with a combined 137 patients. Dextromethorphan is used to suppress coughs.
Anyone sick with a cold should talk to a druggist or doctor about the best medicines for them, according to health officials. “Over-the-counter medicines may provide temporary relief of symptoms, but they will no cure your illness,” the CDC said on its website.
The CDC includes honey on its list of possible ways to suppress coughs. Other tips for feeling better from a cold include getting enough rest, breathing in steam and using saline spray, according to the CDC.

23、Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street?Perhaps they were busy talking,texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new“species”of human has kept rising. They have been given a new name-phubbers (低头族).
Recently,a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film,phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die,a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site,and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it.“Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,”Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying,“the neck is like a rope that breaks after longterm stretching.”Also,staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually,according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends,many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere,Beijing Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death,suffered accidents,and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

24、Earth Day, marked on April 22nd, is the perfect opportunity to think about how we can make the world a better place. 【1】 —like these small changes you can make to move towards a happier, healthier life that’s also kinder to the planet.
Get outdoors.
Did you know that the average person only spends four hours a week playing outdoors? 【2】. Why not visit a local park, forest or beach? If none of the above is easily accessible to you explore the woods of your own neighborhood. Just trying an eco-friendly project in gardens like zero-waste-bird-feeding is also a good choice.
【3】.
Many people find that connecting to the natural environment makes them happy for a much longer time, compared with crazy shopping, which only brings temporary excitement but, more likely, lasting harm to the planet.
It’s no accident that meditation (冥思) apps and videos are often themed with rain, forests and calming ocean sounds. 【4】, what’s the point of paying to do it online? Why not challenge yourself to connect with the earth by simply noticing what’s around you?
Save the planet by “plogging”!
Plogging simply means collecting litter as you jog, or walk around your community. Why not host a plogging event of your own? 【5】. You can also get some great exercise at the same time. Plus, you become more mindful of the trash we throw away every day, and the difference we can make to the earth.

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。
Young kids, especially boys, love to jump things. As I grew, a mechanical tool was added to my ever growing love of jumping — the bike. We built different ramps (坡道) to build up speed before being launched air for free-flying fun. With all the ramps we created, nothing could have prepared any of us for “The Monster”.
One morning, I headed out to my friend’s home. Just the night before I had the back tire of my bike broken. Luckily, I had a backup in my sister’s smaller, lighter bike “Pinky” because she didn’t ride as much.
On the way, I heard my name yelled out. It was Nick, together with Keith and Josh. “Check it out man,” Nick said as I rolled to a stop at the end of his driveway. He gestured with his head and I cast my look over his shoulder only to find my eyes resting on the largest ramp the little town had ever seen. It was made of cinder (煤渣) blocks that Nick’s dad had stored under a tarp (防水油布) to repair the garage. On it was a sheet of wood providing the ramp part of the jump. What a perfect ramp!
“Has anyone taken the jump?” I asked. Everyone kept silent. “Why build it then?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Nick shrugged. “I’ll do it,” suddenly I said. The words were out and the only way to save face was to make it. “If I do this I will do it right,” I said, pretending to study the Monster. Keith sensed the nervousness within me. “Be fine, just don’t mess it up.”
I made my way up to a steep hill to get more speed. Holding my nerve, I kicked off and charged forward with all the strength my legs had to offer. My concentration was like a rock, focused on the task at hand. The wind was rushing in my ears as I stared down the Monster and made my final approach.
