As Elizabeth Stne nce said, “Having children is like having yur heart g walking arund utside f yur bdy.” Yu send them ff t schl and hpe that the wrld treats them kindly because when they hurt, yu hurt.
Surely it’s inevitable (不可避免的) that yur child will experience hurt feelings at sme pint. S, it’s wise t be ready fr thse mments.
But what truly prepares yu fr the mment when the child yu lve s much unexpectedly heals the wunds f yur wn inner child? A mm, named Sgia, psted a vide n TikTk explaining a phne call she received frm a parent in her daughter’s classrm. The mm called t infrm Sgia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each ther.
Sgia wasn’t prepared fr what came next. The classmate’s mther infrmed her that her sn lved the fd Sgia’s daughter brught t schl and wanted t learn hw t ck it t.
That may seem like a small thing t sme, but the small gesture healed a little bit f Sgia’s inner child. Grwing up as a Krean kid in Califrnia, Sgia had different experiences frm her children.
“I guess I just never thught that my kids wuld be the generatin f kids that culd g t schl and nt just prudly eat, but share their fd with ther kids that were just s pen and accepting t it,” Sgia said thrugh tears. “They dn’t sit there eating their fd alne, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a sandwich instead r smething like that. And I knw, it sunds s small and it sunds s stupid, but knwing that their experience at schl is s different frm mine in such a psitive way is just s hpeful.”
Sgia’s tearful vide tug at the heartstrings f her viewers wh shared their thughts in the cmments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generatin. I lve them s much,” smene cmmented.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely cntributing t fewer injuries. It des, hwever, have its wn prblem.
Race walkers are cnditined athletes. The lngest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilmeter race walk, which is abut five miles lnger than the marathn. But the sprt’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight thrugh mst f the leg swing and ne ft remain in cntact with the grund at all times. It’s this strange frm that makes race walking such an attractive activity, hwever, says Jaclyn Nrberg, an assistant prfessr f exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, Accrding t mst calculatins, race walkers mving at a pace f six miles per hur wuld burn abut 800 calries (卡路里) per hur, which is apprximately twice as many as they wuld burn walking, althugh fewer than running, which wuld prbably burn abut 1,000 r mre calries per hur.
Hwever, race walking des nt pund the bdy as much as running des, Dr. Nrberg says. Accrding t her research, runners hit the grund with as much as fur times their bdy weight per step, while race walkers, wh d nt leave the grund, create nly abut 1.4 times their bdy weight with each step.
As a result, she says, sme f the injuries assciated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncmmn amng race walkers. But the sprt’s strange frm des place cnsiderable stress n the ankles and hips, s peple with a histry f such injuries might want t be cautius in adpting the sprt. In fact, anyne wishing t try race walking shuld prbably first cnsult a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique, she says. It takes sme practice.
28. Why are race walkers cnditined athletes?
A. They must run lng distances. C. They have t fllw special rules.
B. They are qualified fr the marathn. D. They are gd at swinging their legs.
29. What advantage des race walking have ver running?
A. It’s mre ppular at the Olympics. C. It’s mre effective in bdy building.
B. It’s less challenging physically. D. It’s less likely t cause knee injuries.
30 What is Dr. Nrberg’s suggestin fr smene trying race walking?
A Getting experts’ pinins. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced cach. D. Ding regular exercises.
31. Which wrd best describes the authr’s attitude t race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tlerant. D. Cnservative.

Switching fd and drink purchases t very similar but mre envirnmentally friendly alternatives culd reduce the greenhuse gas emissins frm husehld grceries by mre than a quarter (26%), accrding t a new Australian study frm The Gerge Institute published in Nature Fd. Making bigger changes - like swapping a frzen meat lasagne (宽面条) fr the vegetarian ptin—culd push the reductin t as much as 71%.
Lead authr Dr Allisn Gaines said, “Dietary habits need t change significantly if we are t meet glbal emissins targets, particularly in high-incme cuntries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while cnsumers are increasingly aware f the envirnmental impact f the fd system, they lack reliable infrmatin t identify the mre envirnmentally friendly ptins.
Researchers calculated the prjected emissins f annual grcery purchases frm 7,000 Australian husehlds in The Gerge Institute’s FdSwitch database and glbal envirnmental impact databasets. Mre than 22,000 prducts were assigned t majr, minr and sub-categries f fds (e.g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) t measure emissins saved by switching bth within and between grups. Making switches within the same sub-categries f fds culd lead t emissin reductins f 26% in Australia, equal t taking ver 1.9 millin cars ff the rad. Switches within minr categries f fds culd lead t even bigger emissin reductins f 71%.
The results f the study shw the ptential t significantly reduce ur envirnmental impact by switching like-fr-like prducts. “It shwed that yu can switch t lwer emissins prducts while still enjying nutritius fds,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecSwitch, has been develped currently available in Australia, based n this research. Shppers can use their device t scan a prduct barcde and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure f its emissins shwn as a scre between half a star (high emissins) t five stars (lw emissins).
“While ecSwitch is a much-needed first step in prviding envirnmental transparency (透明度) fr grcery shppers, the visin is fr cmpulsive (强制性的) display f a single, unified sustainability rating system n all supermarket prducts,” cncluded prf Neal, Prfessr f Clinical Epidemilgy at Imperial Cllege Lndn.
32. What’s the functin f paragraph 2?
A. T set the stage fr further explanatin.
B. T summarize the previus paragraph.
C. T give supprting details fr the writer’s argument.
D. T make a cmparisn between different cuntries.
33. Why d researchers make a detailed classificatin fr prducts?
A. T set up a cmprehensive database. B. T figure ut the detailed fd categries.
C. T measure emissins reduced by switching fd. D. T ensure less air pllutin caused by fd ptins.
34. What d we knw abut ecSwitch?
A. It is ppular in high-incme cuntries. B. It checks the emissins f star prducts.
C. It is a measurement system fr a supermarket. D. It ensures greener chices fr fd purchase.
35. What’s the best title f the text?
A. EcSwitch - a Reminder f Fd Safety
B. Dietary habits - a Factr f Physical Health
C. Fd swaps - a Way f Envirnmental Sustainability
D. Greenhuse gas emissins - a Cause f Envirnmental Crisis

N wman can be t rich r t thin. This saying frm the late Dutchess (公爵夫人) f Windsr reflects much f the dd spirit f ur times. Being thin is recgnized as such a virtue. The prblem with this view is that sme peple actually attempt t live by it. 36 Cnsequently, I have been n a diet fr the better-r-wrse-part f my life.
37 And when did eating butter becme a sin (原罪)? All religins have certain days when peple cntain their desire frm eating and excessive eating is ne f Christianity’s seven deadly sins. Hwever, until quite recently, mst peple had a prblem getting enugh t eat. In sme scial grups, wealth was a blessing and a symbl f high mrals, and fatness a sign f wealth and well-being.
38 We have shifted t thinness as ur new mark f virtue. The result is that being fat, r smewhat verweight, is bad because it implies a lack f mral strength. 39 It is true that we have mre verweight peple than befre, and that being verweight crrelates with an increased risk f heart and bld diseases. These diseases, hwever, may have as much t d with ur way f life and ur high-fat diets as with extra weight. And the risk f cancer in the digestive system may be mre f a dietary prblem -t much fat and a lack f fibre - than a weight prblem.
The real cncern, then, is nt that we weigh t much, but that we neither exercise enugh nr eat well. Exercise is necessary fr strng bnes and verall health. A balanced diet can als help the bdy avid diseases. Simply being thin is nt enugh. It is actually dangerus if thse thin peple think they are autmatically healthy and thus free frm caring abut their lifestyle. 40
A. Tday the ppsite is true.
B. Thinness makes a big difference
C. Then where did we g ff the track?
D. It is time t change their (and ur) cncept f thinness.
E. There is much t d when we realize we’ve gne t far.
F. Our addictin t thinness is als fueled by health cncerns.
G. I myself have fantasies f slipping int narrw designer clthes.

My pulse quickened as my feet tk me clser and clser t the dr. In my head, I culd hear the wrds my father kept telling me, “D it, Stephanie. Yu never d anything fr yurself. Just set it up.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“Did yu sign up?” my father asked. When he saw the drumsticks in my hand, he smiled and then came t hug me.
Wednesday came, and alng with it was my first drum lessn. I walked thrugh the dr and headed directly t the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (摆弄) with the sticks. I kept nervusly lking at the time. I tried t slw dwn my breath. I knew the teacher wuld say I was nt the right type f persn t play the drums. I turned arund t see an ld man lking at me.
“Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.
He led me t a rm. There were tw drum sets, and he tld me t sit at the ne clse t the dr. Out f the dr gathered the crwd, chatting and chuckling.
Peple made me nervus. That’s the way I’d always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, s I relaxed just slightly. Nt nly did he nt tell me that I was the wrng type f persn t play the drums, but he praised me n hw well I held the sticks and fllwed alng with him. I learned hw t read simple sheets f music, but then my thirty-minute lessn was ver.
Walking back t my father’s car, I felt the energy beaming frm within me. It was the first time that I had dne smething purely fr my enjyment, smething just fr myself.
I practiced as much as I culd thrughut the week. Even my fur-year-ld dg Plut ften cmplained that I never played with it. My secnd lessn came, and I played the sheets f music fr Mike. I nticed as I played that Mike’s cncentratin became mre and mre apparent. When I finished the whle lessn, Mike said “Yu played that perfectly!”
