Have you ever sat down in a restaurant and felt instantly drawn to a particular dish on the menu? The reason might be something as simple as that you love the dish's main ingredient, but it's often more than that.
Scientists are finding that the way food is presented can make a big difference. In one study, for example, party guests were given a glass of a drink called mango lassi. Half the guests were told the lassi was healthy. The rest were told it was unhealthy. Those who had the “healthy” drink considered it 55% less enjoyable than those who drank the “unhealthy” one, though the drinks were exactly the same.
People's choices around what to eat are influenced by lots of small factors unconsciously. But we can make those choices more conscious by arming ourselves with information.
Agriculture accounts for about 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions (排放) warming the planet. But not all foods have equal influences. Globally, the production of animal-based foods accounts for about two-thirds of agricultural emissions, while plant-based foods generally have lower environmental influences.
Increasing the share of plant-based foods in our diets is therefore a key step in reducing agriculture's pressure on climate. That doesn't mean giving up meat, though. We can eat less animal-based food and more plants.
By examining how food decisions are made, scientists have learned that simple pushes can change people's behavior in big ways. Restaurants, hotels, universities, and even cities have begun applying the latest behavioral science to help consumers cut their carbon footprint by choosing more sustainable (可持续的) foods. Burger King began a trial of the plant-based Impossible Burger. At Seattle Pacific University, campus food service provider Sodexo doubled the size of its plant-rich food station.
24.Accordign to scientists, people tend to choose some food or drink mainly because _______.
A. it’s good for their health B. it’s good for the environment
C. they are attracted by its color D. they like its ingredient and how it’s presented
25. What can we infer about animal-based foods?
A. They are harmful to the environment.
B. They are the main reason for climate change.
C. They provide more nutrients than plant-based foods.
D. They are less consumed compared to plant-based foods.
26. What does the author suggest people do?
A. Pay attention to how food is cooked.
B. Choose healthy foods to live a longer life.
C. Consider climate change when deciding what to eat.
D. Give up meat to reduce pressure on the environment.
27. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Burger King's new plant-based burgers.
B. Scientists' new findings on people's food decisions.
C. How consumers' food decisions are influenced by small factors.
D. The society's efforts to help people make eco-friendly food decisions.
C
When Barbra Streisand said that she'd had her dog cloned for $50,000, many people learned for the first time that copying pets and other animals was a real business.
The story that gave people cause for concern, though, came out a few days later. It was about Monni Must, a Michigan photographer who paid to have Billy Bean cloned, a Labrador that had belonged to her oldest daughter, Miya. Miya died 10 years earlier. To Must, cloning the elderly dog was a way to keep her daughter's memory alive.
Alarm bells went off in my head. Must wasn't just cloning a pet. She was trying to preserve a lost child. It seemed awfully close to a real human cloning scenario, one in which a heartbroken parent tries to replace a son or daughter who dies early.
I shot a question at Jose Cibelli, an animal cloning scientist at Michigan State University: is it time to worry about human cloning again? Cibelli quickly emailed back: “Yes.”
I met Cibelli 15 years ago, when I was among a group of journalists covering cloning nonstop. Back then, it seemed possible that someone might try to copy a human being at any moment. There was an Italian doctor named Antinori who said he was trying.
But human cloning never happened. The reason is clear. In many animals, only one in 100 cloned embryos ever leads to a live birth. Of those that are born, a few suffer from abnormalities (畸形) and quickly die. Creating a human clone isn't only a question of technology. You'd also need a reason to do it, experts willing to help, and someone to fund it all.
I finally asked Must if she would have cloned Miya if she'd had the chance? She said it's not a question she has an answer to. “When you have a child who dies, you are not in a place to make a rational (理智的) decision,” she says.
28. How did the author feel after knowing Must's story?
A. Worried. B. Relieved. C. Sympathetic. D. Admiring.
29. What do we know about human cloning 15 years ago?
A. It was supported by Jose Cibelli. B. It was seldom covered by reporters.
C. It received the public's attention. D. It was first tried by an Italian doctor.
30. What does Paragraph 6 mainly focus on?
A. How animals are cloned. B. Why human cloning is challenging.
C. How the technology of cloning is developed. D. Why cloned embryos are difficult to preserve.
31. What is Must's attitude toward cloning her dead daughter?
A. She is uninterested. B. She is looking forward to it.
C. She thinks it is irrational. D. She has no idea.
D
Getting active in midlife could be as good for you as starting young when it comes to reducing the risk of an early death, researchers have suggested. But experts say the study also shows that the benefits fade once exercise declines.
“If you maintain an active lifestyle or participate in some sort of exercise from youth to middle age, you can reduce your risk for dying,” said Dr. Pedro Saint-Maurice, the lead author of the research. “If you are not active and you get to your 40s - 50s and you decide to become active, you can still enjoy a lot of those benefits.”
The study was based on data from more than 300,000 Americans aged 50-71 who undertook a questionnaire（问卷）in the late-1990s. They were asked to recall the extent of their moderate to vigorous (剧烈的) leisure exercise at different stages of their life. Researchers then used national records to track who died in the years up to the end of 2016. After taking into account factors including age, sex, smoking and diet, the team found that those who were exercising into middle age had a lower risk of death than those who had never carried out any leisure exercise. However, when the team looked at different patterns in the way people were active over their life, it found a surprise.
Men and women who started exercising at the age of 40-50 reduced their risk of death from any cause by about 35%. The benefit was similar to that seen for people who reached and maintained similar activity from their teens or 20s onwards.
However, the study found that the protective effect of exercise did not last forever. People whose levels of leisure exercise decreased by middle age had no difference in the risk of an early death to those who had always been couch potatoes. “If you have been active and you slowly decrease your exercise participation as you age, you lose a lot of the benefits that we know are associated with exercise,” Saint - Maurice said.
But the study has limitations, including that it is based on individuals recalling how active they were many years before. What’s more, the research looked only at death records, not other aspects of health such as levels of sickness and disease. Nonetheless, he said, the message was positive. “This adds to the growing body of evidence about the importance of physical activity and exercise across he life course, and indicates that it is never too late to start.”
32. Which of the following is TRUE about the study?
A. The study took about two decades to complete.
B. The study involved around 30,000 elderly Americans.
C. Questionnaires and interviews were the sources of data.
D. The participants in the study took regular physical exercise.
33. According to the passage, what does “a surprise” (Para.3) refer to?
A. The earlier you exercise, the greater your health benefits will be.
B. The benefit of getting active in midlife is similar to that of starting young.
C. Participating in exercise from youth to middle age benefits one’s health greatly.
D. The benefits of exercising in midlife will decline once you stop exercising.
34. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. women benefit more from vigorous exercise than men do
B. people exercising from their teens can maintain health forever
C. an active lifestyle will not necessarily bring positive health benefits.
D. participants’ memories may affect the reliability of the study result
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Getting Active When Young B. Health Benefits Fading With Age
C. Never Too Old to Start Exercise D. Exercise Having Its Limitations

Work Smarter Not Harder
In Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself, he closes the book with a long, excellent list of “Work Smarter Not Harder” type advice for people who want to start working for themselves.
36 Below are my favorites.
●Make a “not to” list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn’t waste your time on useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 37
●Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 38 Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and to weave creativity into the fabric of your life.
● 39 Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch. Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.
●Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities (优先). Ask yourself: “Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?” Remember: You are your calendar. 40
●Respond to calls and e-mails quickly. Even if your response is,“I’ll get back to you,” try to get back to people within 24 hours. They’ll appreciate the politeness.
A. Be quick, but don’t hurry.
B. So treat your calendar with respect.
C. Become a learning machine.
D. Page through the notebook occasionally.
E. Try to begin your day the same way.
F. Then place it next to your “to do” list and stick to it.
G. Frankly, the list is so good I think everyone would benefit from it.

Last month, 7-month-old Ruth and 2-year-old Idgie were abandoned by a gated community in Florida.
When the pair were found, the little black and white 41 Ruth's two back legs were 42 injured and she could hardly walk. Idgie, a dachshund (腊肠狗), was covered in ants while she stood guard over her little 43 .
The animals' rescuers were not able to 44 what had happened to Ruth's legs. “We think the cat may have been born with a disability,” said a rescuer. “It was a really 45 situation. On the one hand, both of them were found in relatively 46 shape, not dirty or starved, so it seems as though they probably had a 47 at some point. But on the other hand, no one came to 48 them, and how could the cat get very far without a(an) 49 taking care of her?”
Both Ruth and Idgie were 50 by Jacqueline Borum later. She noticed the 51 between the dog and kitten, which is why she named them Ruth and Idgie 52 the characters in Fried Green Tomatoes who shared a strong friendship.
“Their 53 from beginning to end is something right out of a Disney movie,” Jacqueline said.
The two share a close bond to this day, and Idgie seems to be 54 to protect Ruth all the time.
“When Idgie gets a new toy, she 55 takes it over to the cat, Ruth, and they pretty much 56 everything,” Jacqueline said. “Besides, there's no doubt Idgie would have laid down her life to protect her best friend.”
The bond between the cat and dog 57 Jacqueline to create Project Paws, a nonprofit organization that helps shelters to 58 veterinary(兽医的) costs. She immediately made Ruth and Idgie the group's mascots.
“They are and will continue to fight for other animals in 59 need of help,” she said. “Their friendship has so much to teach us as humans about love, loyalty, and the ability to look 60 our differences.”

Teaching children safety measures will become easily for parents if the activity is making enjoyable. Offering rewards for proper safety practices help to make things feel like a game for young children.

参考范文
Dear Peter,
How are things going with you these days? I’m terribly sorry to tell you that I can’t make it to London and visit you in June as previously scheduled.
With COVID-19 spreading around the world, everybody has been more or less affected, and I’m no exception. The greatest impact on me is that the College Entrance Exam this year in China has been postponed until July, as a consequence of which my summer vacation won’t begin until mid-July and I have to reschedule my trip to your city. If the virus is brought under control soon, I will go and see you next January, during my first college winter vocation, when it’ll be convenient for both of us.
Looking forward to seeing you then. Please stay safe.
Yours,
Li Hua
