21、Wanna soften the blow of a hangover?
A hangover refers to the headache and sick feeling that you have the day after drinking too much alcohol. If you are looking for something to nurse your hangover, you will find the following right ideas.
1. ASIAN PEAR JUICE
Have some extra Asian pears at home? Run them through your juicer before your next night out. According to researchers at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, just 7.4 ounces of Asian pear juice is enough to soften the blow of a hangover. The scientists say that the juice interacts with enzymes that break down alcohol, speeding up your metabolism and leaving less surplus alcohol for your body to absorb. There’s just one catch: The juice must be consumed before you drink anything else in order to be effective.
2. MUSIC
Anyone who’s ever suffered through a massive hangover knows that sound is the enemy. But while your roommate’s 9 a.m. tap dancing practice might exacerbate (加剧) your symptoms, music may have the opposite effect. Research has shown that listening to music can provide relief to migraines, which are similar to hangover headaches. As long as the music is pleasant and suits your taste, it should help to drown out the chorus of pain laying in your mind. Head sensitivity isn’t the only symptom music helps with. According to researchers at the University of Edinburgh, listening to your favorite music also eases pain.
3. EGGS
The best way to tackle a hangover with food is to eat while you drink. Chowing down after the damage has already been done may distract you from your turmoil for a short while, but it won’t soothe your physical symptoms. There are a few exceptions: Eggs, for example, have hangover-fighting potential thanks to a special ingredient. The food is packed with cysteine, an amino acid that breaks down the drinking byproduct acetaldehyde (乙醛). So whether you prefer to enjoy brunch out or at home, make sure your meal includes eggs in some form.
【1】According to the passage, the author may agree with the following EXCEPT______.
A.Asian pear juice can help soften the blow of a hangover if you drink it before anything else.
B.Your roommate can make you suffer less from a hangover by practising tap dancing at 9.
C.Eggs are said to contain a special ingredient that may soothe the symptoms of a hangover.
D.Enjoying your favorite piece of music is an efficient way to fight the pain of a hangover.
【2】The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A.a textbook B.a science fiction
C.a health magazine D.an advertisement
22、 “At almost any given age，most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others，”Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的)science researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligence changes as we age，told Business Insider.His team quizzed thousands of people aged 10—90 on their ability to do things like remembering lists of words，recognizing faces，learning names，and doing math.Their results suggest that no matter your age，there’s almost always a new peak on the horizon.
The human brain has a remarkable capacity to recognize and identify faces，and scientists are just beginning to learn why.On average，we know that our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.
Having trouble focusing? The study suggests that our ability to maintain attention improves with age，reaching its peak around age 43.While younger adults may excel in the speed and flexibility of information processing，adults approaching their mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.
Dating is tough.One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s.That’s according to one component of Hartshorne’s study，which involved showing thousands of people images of faces cropped tightly around the eye area.Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo was feeling.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.
Many people believe that their math skills decline after they leave school and stop practicing arithmetic.But the next time you try to split up a check，keep this in mind:your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday.
Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble? Good news:Your best days may be ahead.According to people’s scores on multiple—choice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.
【1】What did the scientists mainly test during the research?
A. Communication ability. B. Athletic ability.
C. Intelligence ability. D. Reading ability.
【2】What does the underlined word“apex”in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Destination. B. Top. C. Goal. D. Minimum.
【3】Who is most likely to succeed according to the text?
A. Lucy，72，trying to win at Scrabble.
B. Tom，26，trying to identify strangers’ faces.
C. Jack，48，trying to focus his attention for a long time.
D. Lily，43，trying to read the emotions in different eyes.
【4】What does Hartshorne’s study mainly tell us?
A. There is no end to learning.
B. Constant dropping wears away the stone.
C. Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.
D. A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long.
23、Black History Month is also known as the African-American History Month. It is celebrated all over the United States of America and Canada in the month of February, while in the United Kingdom it is celebrated in October. Each and every school and university conducts various activities to make the generation aware of the importance that African-American history holds in the nation. The electronic media is filled with themes in relevance to the occasion, and many activities are carried out across the country to remember the contribution made by African-American citizens in the development of this nation.
Black History Month was first started by a famous African-American historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson in the year 1926. February was chosen as the month to celebrate the African-American history because it was the birth month of two of the most highly valued people among African-Americans. These were President Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves, and Frederick Douglass, who was also the first vice presidential nominee (被任命者) among African-Americans. Initially, Black History Month was known as the “Negro History Week”. This was Dr. Woodson’s attempt to encourage awareness among citizens about the contribution of African-Americans towards the building of the nation. It was only in the early 1970’s that the name “Negro History Week” changed to “Black History Month”. And later, in the year 1976, the entire month of February was declared to be the National African-American History Month, or the Black History Month.
Every year, National African-American History Month is celebrated by many activities with various ideas and themes for the younger generation. In 2013, Black History Month celebrates the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous speech “I have a dream”. It also marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation (解放黑奴宣言). The theme for Black History Month in 2014 is “Civil Rights in America” remembering the important milestones by African-Americans and others in the battle for civil rights and equal treatment under the law.

24、A beloved pet that went missing in the Highlands area of Vancouver Island was found seven days later by an army of volunteers and was reunited with her owner.
The mastiff-retriever cross (马士提夫獒犬), named Luna, was found trapped on a narrow cliff ledge (岩架), and was reunited with her owner after a heroic rescue last month. It’s believed that Luna had chased an animal out of her yard and got lost, somehow falling off a cliff and landing on a two-foot-wide ledge. She remained there, alone, as her owner and searchers wildly looked for her.
“It was terrible because it was getting colder and she always sleeps next to me or my daughter,” said Saryta Schaefer, Luna’s owner.
After she’d been missing for several days, there was a break in the case. Across the water, Ron Cheeke had heard Luna’s cries for help. Cheeke decided to record the sound and notify the pet rescue group ROAM. He even went so far as to search the area in a boat to try to locate the exact source of the sound. “I used a pot, and every time I banged on the pot, the dog barked back,” Cheeke told CTV News.
Eventually, after searching on both water and land, a team found the scared dog and used a harness (保护带) to pull her back to safety and to her owner. “I almost fell over when I saw her-it was quite exciting,” said Schaerer.
Cheeke said his own dog had died recently and he was motivated to help. “I lost my dog last year, so it was good,” said Cheeke. “It’s good to see it back with its owners."
“There’s no feeling like it. When you’re involved with this and you get the owner back with the pet, it’s worth all the money in the world,” added ROAM volunteer Andy Carswell.
