21、 Baby foods on market generally contain too much sugar, causing a source of health concern, a new report by World Health Organization (WHO) says.
The United Nations specialized agency on public health based the conclusion on an examination by its European office of about 8, 000 baby food products on shelf between. November 2019 and January 2020. It warns that the very high level of sugars present in commercial products is a cause for concern. They increase the risk of overweight and teeth holes while causing a lifetime eating habit in favor of sugary foods.
“In around half of the products examined, more than 30 percent of calories were from total sugars and around a third of products contained added sugar or other sweetening agents,” the world health body said in the report released on Monday to update guidelines for babies’ diets. The examination that covered more than 500 stores in Austria, Bulgaria, Israel and Hungary also finds the labels of up to 60 percent of the inspected food are misleading consumers by claiming to suit babies under six months old.
In the report, countries are advised to make new laws on controlling high sugar intake, ban added sugars and sweeteners in baby foods, and put an end to the promotion of breast milk substitutes. It also requires labels on candies and sweetened drinks, including fruit juices and condensed (压缩) milk, to state they are not suitable for children under three. Meanwhile, WHO recommends that children between six months and two years be fed nutrient-rich home-prepared foods.
“WHO has long recommended that babies receive only breast milk for the first six months of life. Good nutrition in babyhood and early childhood remains the key to ensuring best child growth and development, and to better health outcomes later in life,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, in a statement.
【1】How did WHO get the finding?
A．By testing baby foods’ flavour.
B．By examining some baby foods.
C．By monitoring baby foods’ production.
D．By conducting an interview about baby foods.
【2】What can we know about the 500 stores?
A．Some of them are selling poor baby foods.
B．They have broken the laws about baby foods.
C．Their baby foods have damaged babies’ health.
D．They are taking action to change the present situation.
【3】What is a key to handling the concern?
A．The experts’ guidance.
B．The consumers’ cooperation.
C．The stores’ being closed down.
D．The government’s involvement.
【4】What food does WHO suggest for children under half a year old?
A．Condensed milk.
B．Fruit juice.
C．Breast milk.
D．Home-prepared foods.
22、According to a recent study, children explore more than adults and it helps them learn better than grown-ups. The study notes when adults attempt something new but get a negative result, they often won’t try it again.
Dr. Alison Gopnik, one of the co-authors, said “That might seem like the most basic kind of intelligence—even rats stay away from a path leading to a shock. The downside is that we will never learn the world is more complicated. Children, however, have intense curiosity and drive to explore and this helps them learn many different things and quickly.”
Together with NYU scientist Emily Liquin, Gopnik conducted a scientific experiment to test if young children’s drive to explore more than grown-ups influences the way they learn.
They gave 64 young children and 87 adults a game where each placed different blocks on a machine with one rule: If the machine lights up, they get a prize consisting of a star, but if the machine doesn’t light up, they lose twice as much. The goal of the game was to discover that all the blocks work except for the ones with white spots.
Most of the children were able to figure out the rule correctly, whereas more than 70% adults couldn’t, but it came at a cost: The children earned fewer stars.
The experiment shows adults often leap to faster conclusions, while children are more willing to explore and gather more information before they decide on a result.
The experiment only studied four to seven-year-olds compared to adults in the United States, noting more research is needed to generalize it to a broader population and context, according to the paper.
Gopnik concludes, “We grown-ups are often so anxious to exploit that we don’t explore, so afraid of losing stars that we miss the chance to learn something new. Children, however, are natural explorers, willing to sacrifice stars for the sake of information. We need both types of thinking to grow up, but adults might learn something from those curious kids.”
【1】Why did Gopnik mention rats in Paragraph 2?
A．To show adults’ avoiding bad results is understandable.
B．To compare whether adults are much cleverer than rats.
C．To tell us rats are appropriate subjects in experiments.
D．To suggest that rats are clever enough to choose safe paths.
【2】What do we know about the experiment?
A．It aimed to test if children have more drive to explore.
B．Most adults could understand the game rule correctly.
C．Children got better results than adults in the game.
D．It has some limitations and needs further research.
【3】What does Gopnik mean according to the last paragraph?
A．Adults’ way of thinking should be abandoned.
B．The two ways of thinking should be combined.
C．Children are better at getting information.
D．Adults should learn to think in children’s way.
【4】Based on the study, which of the following is desirable in educating kids?
A．Inspiring kids to explore regardless of risks.
B．Encouraging kids to be brave to try new things.
C．Motivating kids to draw conclusions quickly.
D．Teaching kids not to care about gains and losses.
23、How Did the Ancient Chinese Keep Food Warm in Winter?
Facilities like electric rice cookers, microwaves, and electric kettles, make it easy for people to keep food warm and enjoy a comfortable winter. So how did Chinese people in ancient times keep food warm in winter without these? In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
☆ “Wen Ding”, ancient rice cooker
One of the major functions of an electric rice cooker is to keep food warm. The “Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, served the same purpose, but instead of using electric energy, the ancient cooking container preserved heat by burning fuels like charcoal.
The “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Stone Age. The craftsmanship of making the “Wen Ding” was developed in the Bronze Age. The bronze Ding from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties took on different shapes and structures.
☆ “Ran Lu”, ancient small hot pot
The “Ran Lu” is a small size cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze, which can be divided into three parts. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475—221 B.C.).
☆ Bronze You, ancient kettle
The Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening where charcoal could be placed. Just as people today can’t do without an electric kettle, the Bronze You allowed people to enjoy a hot drink.
☆ Bronze Yan, ancient steamer
Although the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning process produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (25A.D.-220A.D.), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern-day steamer.
【1】When did the “Ran Lu” become popular?
A. In the Zhou Dynasty. B. In the Eastern Han Dynasty.
C. In the Warring States Period. D. In the Stone Age.
【2】The Bronze You, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening to ________.
A. place charcoal B. store wine
C. pour water D. hold charcoal ashes
【3】What is the unique advantage of the Bronze Yan?
A. It is warm. B. It is convenient.
C. It is useful. D. It is environment-friendly.
24、 When I was kid, I’d often come downstairs for breakfast and find my grandmother in the kitchen talking to herself, often going over what she was going to do that day. I thought it was the strangest thing. 【1】
Back then, I thought healthy people didn’t talk aloud when nobody else was around, did they? 【2】 It is a healthy, widespread behavior among children and adults. Research suggests the practice is most beneficial when it combines thought and action. Talking to yourself, when employed in the proper context, can even energize you mentally. Encouragement helps a person gain self-confidence and self-esteem, which contribute to success.
A study published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise had 72 tennis players take part in five rounds of play: one baseline assessment, three training sessions, and a final round. 【3】. Though both groups followed the same training program, only the experimental one was asked to practice self-talk. By the final assessment, the experimental group showed heightened self-confidence and reduced anxiety. The self-talkers also improved their game.
【4】 An in-depth analysis looked at the validity of the self talk strategy for improving athletic achievements. Totaling 32 sport studies and 62 effect sizes, it showed a positive, though moderate, effect size.
【5】 As Dr. Julia Harper, an occupational therapist said, “If we’re talking to ourselves negatively, research suggests that we’ll more likely guide ourselves to a negative outcome. However, when self-talk is neutral - as in a statement like ‘What do need to do?’ or positive, such as ‘I can get this done,’ then the outcome is much more effective.”
A．Researchers divided the players into two groups.
B．Participants with low self-confidence don’t like self-talk.
C．Unfortunately, human nature is ready for negative self-talk.
D．This effect only holds true if one’s self-talk remains encouraging.
E．These performance-energizing benefits aren’t just for tennis players either.
F．In fact, science has now shown that talking to yourself has a number of benefits.
G．Even though nobody else was around, hearing her would make me feel awkward.

Museum Craze Involves More Teenagers
More museums are here waiting for you! China’s capital, Beijing, is going to open another batch (一批) of museums this year. The building of a new branch of the Palace Museum, one of the world’s most visited tourist attractions, kicked off as well.
As the museum craze has grown stronger in the past few years, teenagers in China have become more involved in exploring museums, where they can immerse (沉浸) themselves in modern technology as well as culture from the past. According to Educator magazine, visits by teenagers to museums each year increased from 220 million to 290 million in the past 5 years. Among the increasing numbers of museum visitors, many of them were teenagers accompanied by their families, reported Guangming Daily earlier this month.
To draw younger visitors, many museums are creating more offline activities for the purpose of spreading Chinese culture. They include artifact making, night visits, secret adventures, treasure evaluation, and some interesting courses. At the China Hangzhou Arts & Crafts Museum, for example, teenagers gathered around to make paper umbrellas during the Spring Festival holiday. With white gloves on and little spades in their hands, visitors in Henan province got to experience the daily work of archaeologists (考古学家). Apart from the activities, some museums even open branches especially designed for teenagers. A hall called Popular Agricultural Science for Young Visitors is a special branch launched by China Agricultural Museum. It is an exhibition hall that combines both visual and audio technology to involve teenagers in agriculture. Besides these offline approaches, a number of museums have also created official websites for teenagers, the Palace Museum in particular. Online visitors may go on an exciting adventure on the website in the style of a comic book.
