Thse wrds stuck in Braden´s mind, wh realized nt every child wh needed hearing aids culd affrd them. Recently the 10-year-ld by decided t start a GFundMe page t raise mney fr thse wh aren't s lucky.

It's hard t turn dwn hamburgers, French fries, ptat chips and all f the ther junk fd that seem t call ut t us. Hwever, eating t much junk fd can harm yur bdy, particularly if yu’re a teenager.
“Junk fd shapes teenager' s brains in ways that damage their ability t think, learn and remember. It can als make it harder t cntrl bad behavirs,” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutritin specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even increase a teen's pssibility f depressin.”
Reichel t and tw ther researchers reviewed mre than 100 studies, including their wn, abut hw pr fd chices can impact teens brains. They fund teens are mre sensitive(敏感的) than any ther age grup t prcessed fds with a lt f fat and sugar as their brains are nt yet fully frmed.
Teenagers' brains are still develping the ability t assess bad pssibilities and cntrl actins. The prefrntal crtex(额叶皮层) is the part f the brain that tells us we shuldn´t eat chips all the time and helps us fight against that desire. Hwever, this regin is the last t mature(成熟) — it desn't fully develp until we are in ur early 20s.
S, what's the best way t say n t junk fd? Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain´s reward system becmes less sensitive t fd reminder. Exercise als causes the bdy t make a prtein (蛋白质) that helps brain cells grw and strengthens cnnectins between the prefrntal crtex and ther brain regins. The prefrntal crtex thus can wrk better t help us make wise decisins and cntrl ur impulses(脉冲).
28. Accrding t the text, junk fd des the greatest harm t .
A. the middle-aged B. the elderly C. teenagers D. preschlers
29. What des the underlined wrd “It” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Junk fd. B. The brain. C. The research. D. The ability.
30. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. The prefrntal crtex can help us make wise decisins.
B. The prefrntal crtex develps fully in ur late 20s.
C. Teenagers dn't understand the harm f junk fd.
D. Prcessed fds shuldn't be allwed t prduce.
31. What's the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. Where d ur impulses cme frm?
B. Why shuld we fight against junk fd?
C. Hw des exercise wrk against junk fd?
D. What is the best way t strengthen ur bdy?
D
Thrughut histry, many species f animals have been threatened with dying ut. When Eurpeans first arrived in Nrth America, mre than 60 millin buffal(水牛) lived n the cntinent. Yet hunting the buffal was s ppular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal's ppulatin had fallen t abut 400 befre the gvernment stepped in t prtect the species. In sme cuntries tday, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals fr the ivry(象牙) in their tusks.
Yet nt all animals with cmmercial value face this threat. The cw, fr example, is a valuable surce f fd, but n ne wrries that the cw will sn die ut. Why des the cmmercial value f ivry threaten the elephant, while the cmmercial value f beef prtects the cw?
The reasn is that elephants are a cmmn resurce, while cws are private gds which nly belng t their wners. Elephants wander freely withut any wners. The hunter has a strng mtivatin t kill as many elephants as he can find. Because the number f illegal hunters is big, each has nly a little desire t prtect the elephant ppulatin. By cntrast, cattle live n farms that are privately wned. Each farmer makes great effrt t keep the cattle ppulatin n his farm because he gets the benefit f these effrts.
Gvernments have tried t slve the elephant's prblem in tw ways. Sme cuntries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal t kill elephants and sell their ivry. Yet these laws have been hard t put int effect, and elephant numbers have cntinued t reduce. By cntrast, ther cuntries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private gds and allwed peple t kill elephants, but nly thse wh wn these elephants.
With private wnership and the prfit nw n its side, the African elephant might smeday be as safe frm dying ut as the cw. The ancient Greek philspher Aristtle pinted ut the prblem with cmmn resurces: “Peple pay least attentin t what is cmmn t many, fr all men care mre abut what is their wn than what they have in cmmn with thers.”
32. Why des the authr mentin buffal in paragraph 1?
A. T present the statistics f the buffal in America.
B. T ffer an explanatin fr gvernment plicies.
C. T prvide an example f species dying ut.
D. T intrduce a similar threat t elephants.
33. Why d elephants face threats while cws are safe?
A. They are under different law prtectin.
B. They attract different grups f hunters.
C. They cntain different cmmercial value.
D. They belng t different wnership types.
34. Why d illegal hunters just kill elephants?
A. Because elephants dn´t fight back.
B. Because elephants dn't have exact wners.
C. Because lcal gvernments haven't prtected them.
D. Because elephants are mre valuable than ther animals.
35. What can we learn frm Aristtle's wrds?
A. Peple pay much attentin t thers' resurces.
B. Peple care mre abut their wn resurces.
C. Peple want t prfit frm cmmn resurces.
D. Peple tend t take what they wn fr granted.
