Having a healthy family life can lower risk of heart attack and boost your chance of living longer. 1.．

Care for elders in a loving way

Caring for an elderly loved one is a wonderful way to show compassion and service, and it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice everything. 2.. Kids and marriages can be powerfully impacted by how these decisions are handled，both negatively and positively. They thoroughly think through the potential impact of moving an aging parent into the home or providing extended care. A good boundary with an aging parent is to do occasional outgoings.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude

Healthy families set a culture of being grateful for the things you appreciate in life, big and small. Set up a respectful space where at the end of each day, each family member share what they are grateful for. 3.．

Keep treats out of sight(and out of mind)

What you see is what you want to eat. 4.. Put the sugary treats out of sight and leave colorful fruits and vegetables out on the counter or on the most visible shelves in the fridge so that you're more likely to reach for a nutritious snack.

5..

Healthy families will create a safe environment for healthy communication, where each individual feels like their feelings are acknowledged. When conflict arises, they don't have to agree with each other but they still need to acknowledge each other's feelings. They still feel their opinions are valued. They also learn tools for how conflicts can be resolved. No one shuts down, or runs away when there is disagreement. They work it out.

Darwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.

The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.

“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”

Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.

The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.

“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you’re willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”

1.According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?

A. Disappointment. B. Excitement.

C. Anger. D. Happiness.

2.Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?

A. They meet their brother.

B. They have nothing to eat.

C. They are being breast-fed.

D. They are parted from their mother.

3.Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans’ sneeze?

A. Their blood flow is decreased.

B. They feel cold and long for affection.

C. Their blood flow is increased.

D. Their mother brings them back home.

4.Where is the passage most likely taken from?

A. An animal journal. B. A physiology book.

C. A health magazine. D. A cultural newspaper.

Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration? Think again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that you’re probably totally unaware of.

Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus (真菌) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive.

Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.

Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insect’s natural enemy. The enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.

You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock. But did you know that plants also have this clock? This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do. Is it because they can react to light at sunrise? In a study, scientists found that plants use the sugars they produce to keep time, which help to regulate the genes responsible for the plant’s own internal clock. So, in a sense, ―wake up with petunias (矮牵牛) is just as valid as ―wake up with the chickens.

Nature is full of surprises. So for those of you who didn’t know the wonders of plants, now you do.

1.How many ways does the network of fungus serve the plants?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

2.What does the underlined words ― “your older brother” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The chemical given off by plants. B. The insect’s natural enemy.

C. The bug attacked by the enemy. D. The plant to be eaten by the insect.

3.What helps the plant keep time?

A. The sugars produced by itself. B. Its own genes.

C. The time of sunrise. D. Its response to light.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show his love of different plants.

B. To share his study on some awesome plants.

C. To introduce the unknown abilities of plants.

D. To make people aware of plant protection.

Compassion（同情）is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.

I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.

Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.

What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.

A. promised to obey the store rules

B. hoped to have the food first and pay later

C. forgot to take his credit card with him

D. could not afford anything more expensive

2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A. Kind and lucky. B. Friendly and helpful.

C. Poor and lonely. D. Hurt and disappointed.

3.Why did the author refuse the old gentle man’s request first?

A. He considered the old man dishonest.

B. He felt no pity for the old gentleman.

C. He wanted to keep his present job.

D. He expected someone else to pay for the old man.

4.What lesson did the author learn from this experience?

A. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

B. Wealth is most important in older age.

C. Experience is better gained through practice.

D. Compassion means helping in some way.

Since technology has become popular, a new term was created for trouble on the web. cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is willful and repeated harm caused by the use of computers, cell phones or other electronic devices. Research on teens shows that 50% of them in our country have been bullied in their lifetime and 1/3 have been bullied online. 1.

Before that, it' s important to understand why cyberbullying happens. One reason is revenge(报复). 2. Another is that they sometimes just don' t understand what they are doing is wrong. In some cases, they think they are being funny.

3. But they couldn't be more wrong. The potential problem is that bullies will get into trouble in school, at home or even by the police if what they are doing is a threat. 4. Experiences with cyberbullying are linked to low self-respect, depression and even killing oneself.

If you have been affected by a cyberbully, there are some things you can do. If someone posts a mean comment, don't feel like you need to revenge. 5. You can also counteract(抵消) the negativity by creating positive content, such as posting nice and uplifting things on your Weibo or Wechat accounts. Finally, if the abuse really affects your social relationships, get help from a trusted adult or turn to the law. Together, cyberbullying will become a thing of the past.

A. Then what about their victims?

B. The victims are in need of help.

C. Bullies may think their comments are no big deal.

D. This problem is affecting so many teens across the country.

E. Delete it or keep all evidence by taking screenshots and report it to the app.

F. The other person did something to the bullies, and they feel it right to do it.

G. Therefore, we should look into the problem more carefully to see what can be done to end cyberbullying.

As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." That's because this healthy food choice is supposed to be full of nutrients. The apple at the supermarket, though, might be so o1d that it has lost many of its nutrients. But soon there might be a way to check the quality of fruit by scanning it.

Scientists at Food+Future coLAB have come up with the idea of a handheld spectrometer(分光仪) that scans food. The machine will work by shining infrared(红外线的)light on a piece of produce. By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in the light, the scanner can recognize the food's chemical makeup.

"The machine can tell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, what nutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste," Greg Shewmaker of Food+Future coLAB recently said.

For the new machine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a database that contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple, for example. Scientists will need to scan lots of pieces of produce to collect this data. The information collected will allow the scanners to tell customers the quality of fruit.

Once consumers know what's inside an apple, they can decide if they want to buy it. Knowing fruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. "We can price produce based on the nutritional value," Shewmaker explained.

Food+Future coLAB has already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one in your local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you've picked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.

1.Why does the author mention the saying about apple at the beginning?

A. To prove that the apple is full of nutrients.

B. To introduce the topic of the fruit scanner.

C. To advise people to keep healthy by eating apples.

D. To state that the apple is the most tasty among fruits.

2.What do we know about the spectrometer?

A. It is powered by infrared light.

B. It is not useful in many customers' eyes.

C. It can help customers decide which fruit to buy.

D. It can improve the quality of fruit and vegetables.

3.According to Shewmaker, what's a spectrometer's influence on a store?

A. It makes a store more attractive.

B. It provides price reference for produce.

C. It enriches customers' knowledge about food nutrition.

D. It creates a database about the chemical makeup of fruit.

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. The Fruit Scanner B. The Priced Fruit

C. How to Scan Fruits D. How to Pick Fruits

Helping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.

Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.

Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have died within just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.

Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.

1.How many groups of old people are involved in the study?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

2.What does the research show?

A. Old people are more likely to support others.

B. Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.

C. Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.

D. Helping others properly has a good effect on health.

3.What does the last paragraph imply?

A. Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.

B. It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.

C. Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.

D. Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.

People who report news sometimes find themselves in the news. This is especially true for foreign correspondents(记者), who risk their lives to bring us important stories from dangerous parts of the world. To learn more about the life of a foreign correspondent, we interviewed Tim Craig, who has covered the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Q1: What draw you personally to dangerous places?

Tim Craig (TC): Experiencing problems that still exist in the world, seeing the struggles that soldiers face to keep peace, and the calamity that people meet during the war, and gaining a better understanding of how people from different countries live.

Q3 : Do you worry about your own safety? How do you deal with that?

TC: Yes, I do worry, but I try not to think about it all the time. In Pakistan, many places are still safe enough for me to travel to without having to worry a lot about being injured, killed or kidnapped(绑架). There are, however, some places where I have to think about my safety all the time. Generally, it's best to travel with someone else so that we can help each other if something goes wrong. In dangerous places,. I also try not to stay in one spot for too long.

I watch from the wooden bench in my backyard as the water from the pipe quietly flows out onto the tomato plants. I watch the plants and rest easy, knowing the pipe is taking care of the plants. The drops soon seem to become rivers on the ground.

I see these red-brown ants, crawling(爬行) along around their home. What will happen when the water reaches the ants? Smelling the danger, these poor tiny creatures all run away from the water and rush back to their home. They spend their whole lives working together to create and make better things, but now they are facing the end of it all. I think this is just a reflection of the world. I keep watching as the water first attacks and then surrounds two ants. They struggle to stay floating as the water closes in on them, getting deeper and deeper. I try to get these two to come on my finger, but they refuse to let me save them. The water soon flows over them, as I remain helpless. Only then do they decide to climb onto my dirt-covered finger. Not until facing the moment of death would they trust one like me.

I check to see if they are alive, and both can move fine. Then I go to save other ants. However, the water washes everything away. How much I wish I could turn off this machine of death, but I cannot. I must complete my job.

It knocks me how much these little lives mean to me. When I was a small child, I would make a sport of killing them. Now, I can't hurt an insect, always thinking about what it would be like to be so small.

1.What is the ants' first reaction as the water approaches them?

A. They attempt to stop it.

B. They seek help at once.

C. They ignore it and continue to work.

D. They try to avoid the danger caused by it.

2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. God helps those who help themselves.

D. Life is likely to be affected by setbacks.

3.How does the author help save the two ants?

A. He turns off the water pipe. B. He helps them float on the water.

C. He lets them climb onto his finger. D. He changes the direction of the water.

4.What's the author's attitude towards those ants now?

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk __________.

A. started sleep more easily.

B. were less active.

C. were more anxious.

D. woke up later.

2.Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s used in sleeping drugs.

B. It exists in milk in great amount.

C. It can make people more energetic.

D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Milk Drinking and Health

B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice

D. Night Milk and Sleep

4.How does the author support the theme of the text?

A. By giving examples.

B. By providing research results.

C. By explaining statistical data.

D. By stating arguments.

My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet-and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.

Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.

“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”

Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.

We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.

Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.

Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.

1.Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?

A. The cashier called a manager to help her.

B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.

C. There was something wrong with his discount card.

D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.

2.The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. changed B. increased

C. faded D. formed

3.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.

A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty

B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently

C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man

D. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now

4.The last paragraph in the passage is intended to ________.

A. add a warning B. make a suggestion

C. introduce a topic D. present an argument

Kitchens are considered one of the most dangerous areas of a home, for children and for seniors. Many more accidents and falls occur in the kitchen. Keeping the kitchen a safe environment isn’t always easy, but it can be accomplished through a series of steps.

Look at the kitchen with a critical eye and realize that what may seem perfectly harmless to you may be a potential threat to your elderly father. Watch out for dangerous objects that you take for granted. This can mean anything from the cookers to the cleaning supplies stored under the sink. Considering elderly parents, safety is the key issue.

As most caregivers of elderly parents know, it is often very difficult to convince your Mom or Dad to change their habits. However, stress the importance of safety whenever possible. If your parent is suffering from a cognitive disorder, remind him or her not to place canned goods in the microwave or be careful with knives that just doesn’t work. It’s up to you to unplug the microwave and to place the kitchen knives in a secured drawer.

Many caregivers of elderly parents hesitate to make such changes because they are afraid of hurting feelings. However, when compared to the alternative, it's best to be firm and make safety a priority. Nevertheless, ensuring elderly parent safety in the house, not just the kitchen, is important. As many elders develop cognitive issues, it may be difficult for him or her to tell between safe and unsafe.

Ensure that any room in the house, especially the kitchen, has safe access for those using canes and walkers. It’s not an easy task, but with a little planning and a developed course of action, you can help make the kitchen one of the safest areas of the house, and not the other way around.
