Fifteen years ag, I lved ging t the gym, but family life and wrk cmmitments meant I was finding it hard t get there. With the help f my dad and uncle, I built my wn gym in the garden. It’s basically a beautified rm with insulatin (隔热层) and electries and a small heater fr the winter. We built a crner desk t intending it t be fr me t d the paperwrk fr my small business. Hwever, the desk served its real purpse when I started my writing jurney tw years ag.
I’ve always had stries ging thrugh my mind. I culd be ut jgging and I’d lse myself playing ut thughts in my head like mvie scenes. Once seen, they stay in there.

Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks t their wners, new research has shwn. While being able t keep track f yur cat and dg may be an attractive benefit t many pet wners as it can prvide peace f mind, allwing a third party t track yur mvements may be much less attractive.

He said: “Pet tech such as smart cllars and GPS trackers fr yur cat r dg, is a rapidly grwing industry and it brings with it new security, privacy, and safety risks t the pet wners.

“Cnsumers cmplain that the mdern tmat has little flavr. It’s like a water bmb,” said Sanwen Huang, wh wrks at the Agricultural Genmics Institute at Shenzhen at the Chinese Academy f Agricultural Sciences. “Tmat farmers care abut yield, and the genetic variants related t yield are nt related t tasty tmat favrs.”
Hw can farmers ditch this unpleasant thing and recver the rich, sweet flavr f the tmat? T find ut, Huang and clleagues investigated which genes are related t tmates’ taste. The scientists created a 100-persn grup that sampled 160 tmates based n sensry qualities. Based n the grup’s feedback, the researchers identified dzens f chemical cmpunds (化合物) that culd be related t the tmat’s taste. Using a statistical mdel that determined the cncentratin f varius chemicals in the tmates, the scientists identified 33 mst imprtant flavr cmpunds. The researchers then measured the cntent f them in each f the tmates, and identified abut 250 genetic lci (基因座) that cntrlled tmat flavr. This finding revealed the genetic basis f tmat flavr.
But the researchers als wanted t determine why stre-bught tmates dn’t taste gd. It turns ut that mdern tmat varieties are selected accrding t qualities such as big size because buyers prefer large fruit, and firmness because it makes tmates easier t ship. Meanwhile, the quality f flavr has been ignred, said the researchers.
Vlatiles (挥发性物质), in particular, are essential fr gd flavr. The remval f specific vlatiles frm tmates results in significant reductin in peple’s liking. Mrever, refrigeratin can change a tmat’s vlatile cmpunds.
“But there is hpe fr a future filled with tasty, new varieties f stre-bught tmates, as ur results prvide a rad map fr imprvement f flavr. By wrking tgether, geneticists, bichemists, farmers and custmers can prvide better-flavred tmates fr ur sciety.” Huang said.
32．Hw des the authr present the study in paragraph 2?
A．By giving a definitin.B．By listing figures.
C．By analyzing the cause.D．By making a cmparisn.
33．What is the main idea f paragraphs 3-4?
A．The reasns why stres favr such tmates.
B．Sme qualities cnsumers prefer in buying tmates.
C．The imprtance f vlatiles in deciding tmat flavr.
D．The reasns why stre-bught tmates have little flavr.
34．Which f the fllwing statements will Huang prbably agree with?
A．The stre-bught tmates have a prmising future.
B．Yield-related genetic variants prvide tasty tmates.
C．Their research has changed a tmat’s vlatile cmpunds.
D．Farmers and custmers can certainly prvide better-flavred tmates.
35．What’s the purpse f the text?
A．T persuade readers t buy tmates.
B．T intrduce the high yielding tmates.
C．T prve stre-bught tmates are tasteless.
D．T infrm readers f the research abut tmat flavrs.

Mitzvah

This was the ne she was always pinting ut t me because she’d nticed hw shy I was abut letting peple d things fr me. “Linda, it’s a blessing t d a mitzvah fr smene else, but smetimes it’s a blessing t let anther persn d smething fr yu.” I never really understd what she meant until recently.
It was three mnths ag, and I'd just mved int an apartment fr cllege in Brklyn, New Yrk, Several f my friends had ffered t help me settle in after the mving men left, but I'd said I culd manage. Letting them help did nt fit my image f myself as a capable and independent wman f 21.
