Eat Slower and Stop Before You’re Full

“This is probably one of the most important rules of healthy eating; it means eating until you are satisfied, not stuffed beyond belief,” said Darin Hu slander, a verified nutritionist. “This allows your brain signals to kick in and tell your body when its full and ready to stop eating.”

Cut Down on Sugar

Weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and the list of health issues associated with consuming too much added sugar continue to pile up. The amount of sugar people ingest (摄入) has been climbing.

Sean Elliot Martin and Pancho Timmons are friends on a mission to change the world, one small act of kindness at a time. That’s the subject of their new book, Quick and Easy World Change, which they released as an e-book.

The project is inspired by another kindness-related book Martin worked on years ago. The latest one takes parts of the first book and updates it with more inspiring stories and lists of little things people can do daily to spread goodness wherever they go. “Make a game of giving—you can assign yourself points for different little things,” Martin said. “How many doors can I open each day for someone with their hands full? Or how many different ways can I help someone today? Or how many good deeds can I think of?” It also addresses the concept of compound kindness—a domino effect of good deeds. “If you are kind to one person, he’s likely to be kind to two to five people,” Martin said.

Both authors’ lives have been impacted by the kindness of others, they each explained. Quick and Easy World Change is their way to pay those experiences forward. For Timmons, a teacher’s mercy in college was a turning point for him. “I did all the things I was supposed to do-worked hard, studied hard-and ended up failing pretty miserably,” he recalled. “But the professor pulled me aside and said, ‘You’re an A student turning in C and D. work because you’re clearly dyslexic (阅读障碍) and not getting the help you need.” “That 5-minute conversation was the difference between dropping out of college and getting two master’s degrees and now running two companies, Timmons said. “I’ve spent my career trying to pay that forward.”

With the electronic version available, their plan is to release hard copies. The authors hope people will use it like a workbook, a document they can mark up, reflect on and use to make their lives-and the lives of others better.

4. What is the book Quick and Easy World Change about?

A. Positive effects of kindness. B. Dreams realized by the authors.

C. Ways to feel good every day. D. Small acts of kindness.

5. What does “the concept of compound kindness” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Being kind is a life-long mission.

B. Helping others will make your day.

C. It is easy to step out of the comfort zone.

D. An act of kindness can set off a chain of events.

6. How was Timmons’ life influenced by others’ kindness?

A. His dyslexic was successfully cured.

B. His scores were changed by others.

C. A teacher comforted him with warm words.

D. A professor assisted him in getting master’s degrees.

7. In what form is the book accessible to readers?

A. Electronic version. B. Hard copy.

C. School workbook. D. Document.

For motorcycle enthusiasts, nothing beats the excitement of riding your motorcycle on the open highway with the wind on your back. With gas prices rising, riding motorcycles is economical and a much greener way to travel. Along with the benefits comes the risk of personal injury if an accident occurs. After all, you’re not protected by steel like you are while driving your car. Besides a helmet (头盔), the latest safety innovations, new airbag jeans, are personal airbags that you can wear to better protect your life.

Airbags have been protecting people in car accidents for decades. Now, a Swedish company, Mo’cycle, teamed up with an airbag technology company which previously produced upper body protection for motorcycle riders, to design and produce the airbags jeans. This kind of airbag can offer protection for the motorcycle rider’s lower body, especially the tailbone, in case of an accident. According to the company, “It reformed the airbag technology to protect the first bone of the spinal column (脊柱), because spinal column injury is the leading cause of disability among motorcycle riders.”

The airbag jeans look like conventional trousers. Its component is removable and the jeans can be washed dried, and worn again. The jeans are made of a fabric called Armalith which is stronger and weighs less than steel. Armalith helps to prevent riders from injuries caused by force of friction after a fall. The airbags fixed into the fabric help protect the rider if he or she falls off the motorcycle. If the rider is separated from the vehicle, the airbags are touched off in seconds. That’s because the mechanism is actually a chain that connects the jeans to the motorcycle.

Mo’cycle’s airbag jeans are available on the company’s crowdfunding campaign along with an airbag shirt and a complete protection package. Obviously, they can provide protection for more motorcycle riders. Making the roads safer for them is certainly a worthy effort.

8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A. To show the popularity of motorcycles. B. To stress the necessity of airbags jeans.

C. To state the importance of wearing helmets. D. To display the excitement of highway riding.

9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. The tailbone injuries are hard to identify.

B. Airbags offer overall protection for riders.

C. Mo cycle is famous for airbag design and production.

D. The airbag jeans are based on the existing technology.

10. What is a feature of airbag jeans?

A. They lead a new fashion trend. B. They are comfortable to wear.

C. They are quick in response. D. They need fixing regularly.,

11. How does the author feel about the future of the airbag jeans?

A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Curious.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. The telesco pe recorded four different views of HIP 65426 b, a large planet about 6 latest one takes to 12 times the mass of the planet Jupiter.

“This is a historic moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy generally,” said Sasha Hinkley, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter. Astronomers discovered HIP 65426 b in 2017 using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. It is a young exoplanet (系外行星) around 15 to 20 million years ole-Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

According to NASA, taking direct images of exoplanets presents a challenge because stars are much brighter than their surrounding planets-HIP65426 b is more than 10,000 times duller than its host star in the near-infrared(近红外光), and a few thousand times duller in the mid-infrared.

Webb has a near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instrument, which are both equipped with coronagraphs (日冕仪). “It was really impressive how well the Webb coronagraphs worked to suppress the light of the host star,” Prof. Hinkley said. Since the planet is around 100 times further away from its host star than Earth is from the Sun, the telescope can easily separate it from the star in the image.

Although this is not the first direct image of an exoplanet taken from space, as the Hubble Space Telescope has taken direct exoplanet images previously, the image points the way to future observations that will disclose more information about exoplanets. “I think what’s most exciting is that we’ve only just begun,” said Aarynn Carter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California. “There are many more images of exoplanets to come that will shape our overall understanding of their physics, chemistry and formation. We may even discover previously unknown planets, too.”

12. What do we know about HIP65426 b?

A. It was first observed in Chile. B. It is a planet of the solar system.

C. It is about the size of Jupiter. D. It has a longer history than Earth.

13. Why is it hard to take direct images of HIP 65426 b?

A. It’s very close to its host star. B. Infrared cameras can’t spot it.

C. It’s surrounded by other planets. D. The light of its host star is too strong.

14. The underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by       .

A. strengthen B. block C. check D. adjust

15. What does Aarynn Carter say about the image of HIP 65426 b?

A. It is the only image of exoplanets.

B. It is useful in exploring other exoplanets.

C. It has already provided details of the exoplanets.

D. It helps understand the solar system better.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. I still remember the day when she pulled me into the living room and said, “You are brilliant in my mind, but if you fail once don’t give up. Don’t fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder. You will succeed, I promise.”

She looked at me and continued, “I want you to carry this two-dollar bill for extra good luck.”

“Thanks mom,” I replied. “I will keep it close to me always.”

I am not superstitious(迷信的), but from that day on the bill goes with me wherever I go. I firmly believe that luck would follow me everywhere.

Every morning I would get dressed and my two-dollar bill went into my pocket. My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remember taking out my two-dollar bill. I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life.

Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands, I would reach for my two-dollar bill and set it on the table. I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution.

When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well dressed. One of them looked perfect in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes. I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes(简历).

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team.” I thanked her and went home exhausted. Oh well, I thought tomorrow would be another day.

   Late that afternoon, while I was cooking, the telephone rang. It was from Mrs. Martin Gina. She said, “you were not the most qualified applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” I screamed out loud, jumping all over the room in disbelief. I could hear Mrs. Martin laughing in the background and suddenly I realized that Mrs. Martin was still on the line. “Thank you Mrs. Martin, you will not regret this decision,” I said and hung up the phone.
