Before you learned how to walk or talk, you learned how to snack. It started as a handful of Cheerios (面包圈) on your high chair tray (高脚椅), then some Goldfish Cookies after school. In fact, many teens snack as often as four times a day. The top snack picks for teens are factory made desserts, salty snacks, candies, and fruit drinks. While unprocessed food like strawberries or cheese can give you what your body needs. Those aren’t the foods that are the easiest to get your hands on. Have you looked at the vending machine (投币式自动售货机) or local convenience store recently? They’re not exactly filled with oranges or hard boiled eggs. One reason: There’s less money to be made on real food, so companies have invented “snack food”, which are cheaper to make and take years to go bad. Still, you buy them anyway. It’s hard not to, thanks to billions of dollars spent on snack-food marketing. You can see ads for these between-meal snacks everywhere— whether they’re TV ads or ads on a phone app. “Everywhere you go, you see ads to snack on the wrong kinds of foods.” says Margo Wootan. “The reason is simpler: The more you eat. the more money food companies make.” EATING WRONG FOOD You love chips and cookies. But they’re full of man-made materials and lack of nutrients (营养素) you need like iron. Do it right: Junky snacks are OK sometimes, but always include fruit or vegetables with every meal or snacks. REDUCING PROTEIN Your store’s snack shelf is filled with things that are heavy on fat hut light on protein (蛋白质), a nutrient that’s especially filling. So you end up eating more, but still feeling unsatisfied. Do it right: Stay satisfied between meals by adding a healthy protein to your snacks, like a hard-boiled egg or cheese. 1.The first paragraph implies (暗示) that ________. A.eating snacks is becoming our habit B.snacks are the favourite food of babies C.a teen usually eats four kinds of snacks at a time 2.Which is NO!’ included in the top snack picks for teens? A.Salty snacks. B.Cheese. C.Fruit drinks. 3.Why isn’t there real food in vending machines? A.Because it won’t bring more money for companies. B.Because it isn’t what your body really needs. C.Because it can’t be easily kept fresh. 4.From the passage, we can know that ________. A.Margo Wootan supports the ads on snacks B.Margo Wootan doesn’t mind the ads on snacks C.Margo Wootan is against the ads on snacks 5.What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A.Are you snacking to death? B.Are you losing yourself in eating snacks? C.Are you interested in keeping fit?

The growth in skyscrapers (摩天大楼) worldwide, most of which have large glass panes, has led to a great need for window washers. Though the job, which earns workers as much as $35 an hour, can be lucrative, accidents are not uncommon. However, the dangerous chore may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground. Much like humans, Ozmo, hanging off the sides of the building, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt and grime on the glass panes. A 3-D map of the building programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully move up and down. Computer vision and touch sensors (传感器) enable it to move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window. And the robot will self-correct and move around it so as not to break a window. Unlike other window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap or Windex to clean the glass. Instead, it uses purified water (纯净水) and a process called reverse osmosis (反渗透) to do the job. It is environmentally friendly. While it takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, only making their jobs safer. Human workers will control the robot from below. Whether Ozmo, which is still undergoing testing, docs as good a job as humans remains to be seen. * Past efforts to use a robot to do this dangerous job have not been successful, because the machines do not have the same eye as humans and often miss the soot (烟垢) collected on window corners. 1.The underlined word “lucrative” in the passant’ probably means “________” A.安全的 B.危险的 C.赚钱的 2.The second paragraph mainly tells us A.why Ozmo is much more intelligent than human workers B.how Ozmo works to clean the glass smartly C.what makes Ozmo an intelligent window cleaning robot 3.What does Ozmo use to clean the glass? A.Purified water. B.Soap. C.Grime or soot. 4.To finish the task of cleaning the windows of a 40-story glass building, Ozmo spends ________ hours less than a cleaner. A.560 B.400 C.1,360 5.Which of the following is TRUE about Ozmo? A.As an intelligent window cleaning robot. Ozmo is successful. B.Ozmo does harm to the environment while cleaning the window. C.Ozmo can make human window washers do their jobs safely.
