21、 Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. 【1】 And it is free and easy. Smile!
When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive. Smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health.
The main cause of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels (血管).【2】The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries (大动脉). When we feel stressed or under pressure, our body releases many natural hormones (荷尔家) including adrenaline and cortisol. When we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.
【3】 However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may not make the best decisions about what to eat. They may overeat, smoke or drink too much alcohol. They may not get enough exercise or sleep. And all of these can lead to health problems.
Dr. Choctkalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish . . . smiling for seemingly no reason. 【4】 It is not invasive (侵入的) like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.
“Once we smile, we are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. 【5】 .”
And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone^ heart health.
A.But a smile does not involve drugs.
B.But there is something else we can do.
C.Experts say we can control and even prevent them.
D.These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain.
E.And they are the number one cause of death around the world.
F.If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.
G.Researchers say the link between stress and heart disease is still unclear.
22、 Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new method that doesn't require any special equipment and works in just minutes to create soft, flexible,3D-prnted robots.
The innovation comes from rethinking the way soft robots are built : instead of figuring out how to add soft materials to a rigid robot body, the UC San Diego researcher started with a soft body and added rigid features to key components. The strictures were inspired by insect exoskeletons,which have both soft and rigid parts — the researchers called their creations
“flexoskeletons (柔性外骨骼）”.The new method allows for the construction of soft components for robots in a small bit of the time previously needed and for a small bit of the cost.
“We hope that these flexoskeletons will lead to the creation of a new class of soft robots, ” said Nick Gravish， a mechanical engineering professor at the Jacobs School of Engineering at the UC San Diego and the paper ’ s senior author. “ We want to make soft robots easier to build for researchers all over the world. ”
The new method makes it possible to build large groups of flexoskeleton robots with little hand assembly (装配）as well as assemble a library of Lego-like components so that robot parts can be easily swapped.
Researchers detail their work in the April 7 issue of the journal Soft Robotics. The team plans to make their designs available to researchers at other institutions as well as high schools.
One flexoskeleton component takes 10 minutes to print and costs less than $1. Flexokeleton printing can be done on most low-cost commercially available printers. Printing and assembling a whole robot takes under two hours.
The final goal is to create an assembly line that prints whole flexoskeleton robots without any need for hand assembly. These small robots could do as much work as one massive robot on its own — or more.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The origin of the new method.
B.The function of the new method.
C.The advantages of the new method.
D.The cost of the new method.
【2】What’s Nick’s attitude towards flexoskeletons?
A.Indifferent. B.Skeptical.
C.Curious. D.Hopeful.
【3】What will researchers intend to do with flexoskeletons?
A.Benefit moss students.
B.Produce a lot of flexoskeleton robots.
C.Build robots by hand.
D.Create many larger ones.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.New Robos Made of Special Equipment and Materials
B.A New Method of Building Giant,Soft and Flexible Robots
C.Flexoskeletons Make Soft Robots Faster and Cheaper to Make
D.Flexoskeletons Create Lots of Soft Robots with Hand Assembly
23、 The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions (排放). But as a consumer? It’s difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat.
A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it much easier. It lets users track and improve the climate impact of your food purchases. Users simply photograph their grocery receipts using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store’s location and by checking the type, weight and origin o£ a food against a database. The database is maintained by Eaternity, a life cycle assessment company based in Switzerland. If the receipt doesn’t contain enough data on a product, it will give an estimate based on similar products and reference points.
The app is available for free on iOS and Android devices, which has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch at the end of last year. As well as the personal shopping app — which Evocco hopes to launch in the United States by the end of this year — the company is developing a digital tool to sell to food storekeepers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product’s journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help storekeepers provide climate impact information directly to consumers, and more importantly, to give Evocco access to product data to improve its app.
The Evocco app is not the only app looking to reach this climate-conscious market. There’s Capture, which estimates monthly CO2 emissions by asking users a series of questions on diet, transport and other factors, as well as Yayzy and My Carbon Action, which link to a user’s bank account, calculating their footprint from trade.
【1】What is the Evocco app designed to do?
A．Confirm the origin of food products.
B．Work out the climate effect of food.
C．Collect varieties of grocery receipts.
D．Monitor customers’ shopping practices.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The product.
B．The receipt.
C．Evocco.
D．Eaternity.
【3】What do we know about the company Evocco from Paragraph 3?
A．It profits a great deal from its app.
B．It has launched its app in America.
C．It is trying to get its app improved.
D．It prefers to sell its app to storekeepers.
【4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A．The Evocco app is still far from satisfactory.
B．Smart tools make tracking carbon footprint easier.
C．Present digital markets should be strictly restricted.
D．Environmental awareness boosts food industry rapidly.
24、When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. 'Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ' said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. 'And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them. '
Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, 'One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work. '
【1】What do we know about Tom?
A．He received little love from his family.
B．He had few childhood friends
C．He enjoyed his career and marriage.
D．He was envied by others in his childhood.
【2】Vaillant's team obtained their findings by_______________.
A．recording the boys' effort in school
B．comparing different sets of scores
C．evaluating the men's mental health
D．measuring the men's problem-solving ability
【3】What does the underlined word 'sharp' probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Clear and definite
B．Quick to react
C．Having a thin edge
D．Sudden and rapid
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Competent adults know more about love than work.
B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C．Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D．Independence is the key to one’s success.
25、Like a good cheese, wine, or pair of well-worm blue jeans, some things get better with time. For me, Anne Lamott’s book named Shitty First Drafts can also be grouped into this_________.
I can still hear the laughter when our high school English teacher_________it over two decades ago. At first, her nod to this classic essay was_________in favor of the fact that the elegant, not-quite elderly_________of our learning had just_________a bad word into her classroom lecture like it was no big deal. As she went on to explain, I_________her point about the writing process, but the sticking point for me was the catch-phrase she’d borrowed and used to_________our attention.
Years later, a college professor advised me to give Lamott’s Bird by Bird a_________. I came cross that famous first-draft phrase again. This time around, I encountered a how-to on writing that left behind only insightful,_________and humorous bits of wisdom. How__________it is to finally hear from a professional writer that like others, she also experiences the same sorts of__________as a college student working at an essay assignment!
As a full-time writer, now I rely on__________to pay bills and put food on the table. When those words come less__________and I struggle to find my daily rhythm, I make a point of reminding myself where all__________writing begins. The ones who make it look easy are often those who’ve__________some interest, ability or natural talent with a lot of__________, efforts, and struggles. And__________drafts. If the best of the best need to write several versions of any given piece to shape__________material into a product worth a look, then the rest of us need to__________the writing process to work for us, too.
Begin with the “uncooked” material, and I remind myself again. Shape it, mold it, put in the work. Believe in the process__________you will get there.
