Beijing resident Hu Lixin started eating meal replacement prducts in February when she wanted t lse weight. She bught varius meal replacement prducts nline and ate them fr mre than a mnth.
“Mst f them dn’t taste gd, but at least they have lw calries and are cnvenient t buy, stre and ck,” she said, adding the prduct she cnsumed gave a strng sense f fullness.
Hu is by n means alne. Meal replacement prducts, r substitutes fr regular meals that can fill yu up with lw-calrie intakes, appear as a ptential big market in China, driven by Chinese cnsumer’ demand fr prducts that can help in weight cntrl and ffer cnvenience, experts said.
The mst cmmn meal replacement prducts include pwders, liquids, shakes, prridges and energy bars cntaining fiber, prtein, vitamin, minerals and ther nutritius cntent.
The meal replacement market is at the early stage f cmpetitin and there is big rm fr future develpment, like in the United States and Japan. Eurmnitr Internatinal, a market research cmpany, said sales revenue f meal replacement prducts in China hit 57.17 billin yuan in 2017 and is expected t reach 120 billin yuan by 2022. Mre fast-mving cnsumer gds giants are partaking in the market actin. PepsiC’s at brand Quaker released a new shake prduct in June. A majr Chinese snack brand Bestre released 27 meal replacement prducts in August.
Jia Jianbin, secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Assciatin, tld CCTV reprter that despite its pssible effectiveness that many peple believe, this way f weight lss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance f nutritin and fd. As a result, it can nly be a temprary mve, nt a lng-term use.
“Cereal meal replacement pwder, fr example, is mainly cmpsed f carbhydrates (碳水化合物), which have enugh calries，but the vitamins and minerals are nt enugh. Instead, it is better t sak atmeal (燕麦片) in milk, which may be mre nutritius and mre ecnmical,” said Gu Zhngyi, a dietitian f the Beijing Dietetic Assciatin. “Meal replacements can be an alternative fr busy wrkers, but they are n substitute fr a balanced diet, and try nt t eat mre than ne meal a day.”
24．The authr qutes the example f Hu Lixin t _________.
A．shw an efficient way t lse weight
B．prmte the meal replacement prducts
C．intrduce the tpic f meal replacement prducts
D．aruse readers’ interest in the meal replacement prducts
25．Why are meal replacement prducts ppular amng many Chinese cnsumers?
A．Because they are highly recmmended by health experts.
B．Because they are helpful t cntrl weight and bring cnvenience.
C．Because they have a large market share in the fd market.
D．Because they prvide varius frms and flavrs fr the cnsumers.
26．What des the underlined wrd “partaking” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Participating. B．Advertising. C．Experimenting. D．Cperating.
27．What attitude d Jia Jianbin and Gu Zhngyi have twards the meal replacement prducts?
A．Cautius. B．Favrable. C．Disapprving. D．Cnfused.

Smetimes when she felt bred, she wuld pick up ne f the numerus bigraphies（传记）abut herself and begin t nte in. "I never did that" r "simply nt true" she wuld write rughly in the margins at the sides f pages. Since jurnalists, bigraphers and mre recently even "blggers" had been writing abut her since the day she was brn, there was plenty f material t edit. Nt that her ntes r crrectins were ever shared with the authrs. Lately, hwever, she even seemed t have lst her appetite fr crrectness. Did it matter anymre if things were nt right?
She knew that sitting alne chewing away n dwnbeat thughts wuld nt get her anywhere and wuld leave thse arund her cnfused and upset, shuld they ever catch her ut. After all she was the decisive ne, always n tp f her game. A printed timetable fr the fllwing day lay n the table. A full day f penings and presentatins, f smiling and ndding and flwers.
Shaking herself ut f her gray md, she stepped ver twards the cmputer where a sudden burst f energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in frnt f her but instead f clicking n the familiar icns which wuld lead her t the emails Randlph cnsidered she needed t read, she simply went t visit Mr. Ggle and began her search fr train timetable.
A dish heaped with multi-clured jellies and plenty f ice cream, served by a white-glved train waiter with a perfect mustache. S many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly disslving n her tngue in small but delicius muthfuls. Each spnful had t be lifted delicately t her muth under the watched eye f her grandmther, wh was a stickler fr gd manners. It was unlikely that they served jelly n the trains these days, what with all the cncern abut childhd fatness, but even a Spartan menu culd nt kill the rmance f a train jurney. As the timetable fr Line-burst line flashed in frnt f her, she remembered that the Mayr f Alwy wuld be expecting her t make a shrt, predictable speech at the pening f the nw bridge.
28．Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm the passage?
A．The main character is prbably a jurnalist writing blgs abut ryal members.
B．The main character is always busy editing plenty f material abut herself.
C．The authrs prbably had chances t get the ntes r crrectness frm the main character.
D．Randlph is prbably an assistant r a secretary t the main character.
29．Why des the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?
A．She wishes that she were still a child s that she culd eat jellies and ice cream.
B．She is reminded f these fds because the thught f a train jurney reminds her f them.
C．She wishes she still knew where the handsme train waiter was
D．Tday's children aren't allwed t eat the same things that she ate as a child.
30．A "Sparten menu" (paragraph 4) wuld mst likely ____________.
A．have mainly lw fat, healthy fdsB．be suitable fr a rmantic dinner
C．include a range f sweets, but n jellyD．include fds which are easy t transprt
31．What is mst likely t happen next in this passage?
A．The main character will practise her speech fr greeting the Mayr f Alwy.
B．The main character will decide t take a rail jurney.
C．Randlph will send sme emails t the main character.
D．The main character will update her blg n the internet.

I want t ask yu a favr. I have a pair f pants. Tell me: Hw many different ways can I put a pair f pants t use? Nw imagine yu're an architect. Same questin. Nw imagine yu're Bill Gates. A scuba diver. A medieval knight. Yu still have the pants. What alternative uses cme t mind?
What yu just practiced--the cnscius act f "wearing" anther self--is an exercise that, accrding t psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential t being creative.
One great irny (讽刺) abut ur cllective addictin t creativity is that we tend t frame it in uncreative ways. That is t say, mst f us marry creativity t ur cncept f self: Either we’re “creative” r we aren't, withut much f a middle grund. "I'm just nt a creative persn!” a discuraged student might say in art class, while anther might blame her talent at painting fr her difficulties in math, making a cmment "I'm very right-brained."
Dr.Pillay, an assistant prfessr at Harvard University, has spent years verturning these ideas. He believes that the key t unlcking yur creative ptential is t challenge the steretyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges yu t “believe in yurself.” In fact, yu shuld d the ppsite: Believe yu are smene else.
He pints t a study shwing the impact f steretype n ne's behavir. The authrs, psychlgists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their cllege student subjects int tw grups, instructing ne grup t think f themselves as "eccentric pets" and the ther t imagine they were "rigid librarians". The researchers then presented them all with rdinary bjects, including a frk, a carrt, and a pair f pants, and asked them t cme up with as many different uses as pssible fr each ne. The frmer grup came up with the widest range f ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest.
These results suggest that creativity is nt an individual characteristic but a “prduct f cntext and perspective”. Everyne can be creative, as lng as he r she feels like a creative persn.
Dr. Pillay's wrk takes this a step further: He argues that simply identifying yurself as creative is less pwerful than taking the brave, creative step f imagining yu are smebdy else. This exercise, which he calls psychlgical Hallweenism, refers t the cnscius actin f “wearing” anther self. An actr may emply this technique t get int character, but anyne can use it. Accrding t Dr. Pillay, it wrks because it is an act f cnscius unfcus, a cllectin f brain regins that spring int actin when yu're nt fcused n a specific task r thught. Mst peple spend nearly half f their days in a state f "unfcus." This desn't make us lazy; it makes us human.
Imagining yurself in a new situatin, r an entirely new identity, never felt s prductive. Yu’re making yurself mre creative, and yu're giving yurself permissin t d smething yu'd therwise feel guilty abut.
32．What’s the functin f the questins in paragraph 1?
A．T lead in the tpic.B．T make a cmparisn.
C．T state an pinin.D．T ask a favr.
33．The study led by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar prves_____
A．creativity is an individual characteristic B．librarians are mre creative than pets
C．rdinary bjects can imprve creativity D．yur creativity is determined by yurself
34．Accrding t Dr. Pillay, Hallweenism wrks because ______.
A．it is an act f uncnscius fcus B．certain brain areas begin t act tgether
C．peple are in a state f laziness D．all actrs emply this technique
35．If yu want t be mre creative, yu are suppsed t _______.
A．fcus n a specific taskB．believe in yur wn talent
C．pretend t be smene elseD．turn t be right-brained
