21、 The American Heart Association（AHA）says that too many people are spending far too much time on chairs and couches. “Based on existing evidence，we found that U.S. adults are sedentary for about six to eight hours a day，"said Deborah Rohm Young，chair of AHA panel that wrote the new advisory.
According to the AHA，growing evidence shows that，on its own，exercise isn't enough to cancel out the unhealthy effects of sitting for a long time. "Regardless of how much physical activity someone gets，long sedentary time could negatively influence the health of your heart and blood vessels，"Young explained.
The exact mechanisms behind the effect aren't yet clear. "There are many important factors we don't understand about sedentary time yet，"Young said. She stressed that，“the types of studies available identify trends but don't prove cause and effect. ”
"We don't have information about how much sedentary behavior is bad for health-the best advice at this time is to ‘sit less and move more'" she added.
How much more？According to the AHA，people should try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous（剧烈的）exercise a day to reach the recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week. That's healthier than trying to cram their weekly exercise into one or two days，according to the statement.
"The real risk simply comes down to the amount we sit，without there being a true medicine or method to control the harmful effects，"said Steinbaum，a preventive specialist in heart disease.
Still，society has evolved to encourage siting，she added.
“Our lives have become focused around activities requiring us to be still-whether it be transportation，our computers，or the television or computer in our leisure time，"Steinbaum said. “Sociologically，instead of being active to be productive or to have enjoyment，our productivity and fun often requires minimal physical activities. ”
【1】What is the main purpose of the new advisory delivered by AHA？
A.To advise people to sit less and exercise more.
B.To explore the cause and effect of inactive behavior.

【2】Which of the following would Deborah Rohm Young most probably agree with？
A.Doing exercise is of no benefit to those couch potatoes.
B.Sitting too much is a contributing factor to heart diseases.
C.The exact cause behind the effect of long-time sitting is apparent.
D.The vital thing for health is the total amount of weekly exercise you do.
【3】According to Steinbaum，the increase of siting time is__________
A.a basic aspect of promoting the quality of life
B.a real risk that can be removed by vigorous exercise
C.an unavoidable consequence of social development
D.a big change in modern people's concept of health

The Play Indoor Playground covers 2, 300 square feet. It has fun, colorful entertaining and exciting toys and equipment for you to play with.

23、Many curious children have lately asked “How do glasses help you see?” Actually, they asked this at a very good time because more and more people are needing to wear glasses and we don’t really know why.
Our eyes let us see because light enters each eye, and the eye then creates a message that goes to the brain. The eyeball itself doesn’t actually “see”—the brain sees. The eyeballs just take pictures, like two little cameras. To see properly, each eyeball needs to send the light that enters it into a very exact spot inside the eyeball, called the retina(视网膜). If the light falls onto the incorrect place, everything goes wrong.
Many people won’t need glasses and can see just fine. This is because their eyeballs are focusing light properly onto the retina. However, some people have eyeballs that are too long. They are called “shortsighted”. For these people, things far away can look blurry(模糊的). Other people have eyeballs that are too short. They are called “farsighted” and things close to them can look blurry. Both shortsighted and farsighted people need glasses to help them see clearly. They work by helping the eyeball to focus light onto the correct place, the retina. Only then can we see clearly.
Maybe you have a grandma or grandpa who wears whenever they are reading books or using their mobile phone. When people get older, they usually become a little bit farsighted because a part of their eye called the lens becomes stiff and doesn’t work properly.
More and more young people in the world are needing to wear glasses. we’re not sure why, but some scientists think that children who spend too much time inside are more likely to need glasses. Children who need glasses but don’t wear them don’t do as well as in school. Once you need glasses, you usually need them forever—your eyes won’t go back to normal on their own.
I hope that one day we can find out why people’s eyeballs become too long or too short and then we can stop people needing to wear glasses in the first place. Then people will never lose or forget their glasses ever again!

24、While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.
The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions.“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.
In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.
Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.
“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.
The researchers said our brain is“very much concerned”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception(认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.“Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.”said Professor Haggard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.”

26、请认真阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
Running individual official accounts on social-networking app WeChat has become a new channel for Chinese people to express themselves, according to a survey.
At present, many media organizations, companies and individuals in China have launched official accounts on WeChat, making efforts to attract more subscribers to expand their reach. Over 66 percent of 2,001 respondents said they were willing to set up individual official accounts while 27.2 percent said they had already started such accounts.
The survey, published by the China Youth Daily, also said expressing feelings and views, as well as gaining popularity, was the top reasons why people wanted individual official accounts. More than half of individual official accounts offered content concerning personal views and feelings, as well as entertainment and recreation information, the survey said.
Of more than 540 respondents that have individual official accounts on WeChat, 5 percent claimed that they had built popular 'self-media' brands using the accounts, while 12.2 percent said they had made money from the accounts through advertising. Meanwhile, 42 percent said their accounts had limited influence with only a few subscribers.
