24、What makes people gain weight? This seems like a simple enough question to answer. If we eat a lot and don’t do enough exercise, we will become fat. However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated than we think.

As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over what they eat and how much they eat. This, however, is only partly true. People form habits around food at a young age. You may rarely touch vegetables while overeating fried chicken. Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we eat.

Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more likely to gain weight or lose weight. Scientists have found that the more delicious the food is, the more excited our brains get. If we often have delicious food, over time, our brains will change. Compared to people of normal weight, fat people feel more excited when they see delicious food.

Now you know why fat people often have a tough time losing weight. They may have tried very hard. but their bodies are working against their will.

Also, our bodies use a variety of hormones (激素) to tell our brains whether they are hungry or full. Ghrelin, for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin, meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes, they may work improperly. As we get fatter, the levels of leptin in our bodies rise. Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In the end, they would no longer trust Leptin and would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, Leptin levels drop. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food in our fridges.

【1】The following can affect what or how much we eat EXCEPT ______.

A．eating habits

B．serving size

C．background music

D．the colour of food

【2】Which is the best for the blank in the picture?

A．Ghrelin maintains a healthy weight.

B．Hunger causes Ghrelin levels to rise.

C．Ghrelin works against a person’s will.

D．Brain responds lo Ghrelin’s “warning”.

【3】The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．our bodies

B．our brains

C．the warmings

D．the levels

【4】In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?

A．Health.

B．Education.

C．Environment.

D．Fashion.

25、In our life, we don’t often expressed our gratitude(感激) to the one who’d lived those years with us. In fact, we don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closet to us--- the ones so easily overlooked(忽视). If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is time to give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’ world, it brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need,

Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence--- speak up the first time you have the chance.

Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thanking you. But the Brian soon found these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.

I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thanking you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Thanks for everything.   B. Caring others.   C. Expressing yourself.   D. Helping each other.

【2】What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. Praise thanks.   B. Solve problems in life.

C. Thank everyone.   D. Let the reader know the importance of expressing thanks in life.

【3】Why does the writer give the example in the 4th paragraph?

A. It indicates (显示，指出) the Indians did not thank you.

B. It indicates the Indians didn’t know to thank you.

C. It indicates that thanking you exists everywhere.

D. It indicates that Mark Brian got thanks.

【4】What does the underlined word “left out” in the second paragraph mean?

A. go to another place   B. be ignored   C. give out   D. leave for

26、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

These days so many things are going digital (数字化), and books are too. 【1】. This means that some bookstores have a hard time staying open. This isn’t a new problem, but things are finally turning around.

Bookstore sales in the US increased by 2.5 percent from 2014 to 2015. 【2】, such as holding events, adding a coffee shop and food and creating a fun experience for book lovers.

“That’s what small bookstores have to offer—a more personalized (个性化的) experience.” said Nicole Sullivan, owner of Denver’s BookBar. Also bookstores are trying to bring in new shoppers in cool ways. The Shakespeare and Company Bookstore in New York is adding the Espresso Book Machine. 【3】. This special machine is great for people if they can’t find some books.
