                            Out of the cold 

   There are no known cures for colds and the flu,so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 But there are other techniques you can employ as well. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:

   Put a box of tissues(纸巾) wherever people sit. Place tissue boxes strategically around the house,at work,and in the car. 37 Then anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria.

   Leave the windows open in winter. Not all of them,but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. 38 

   Add green tea and an apple to your morning break. Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand,found that eating food rich in (类黄酮) could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%.39 Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet.

   40 The knuckle(指关节) is less likely to have viruses than your fingertip. The eye provides a perfect entry point for bacteria,and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20-50 times a day,making fingers particularly good at spreading bacteria.

   A. It works better than anything else.

   B. You need to make them widely available.

   C. Use your knuckle to gently rub your eyes.

   D. Fresh air does wonders for chasing out bacteria.

   E. Never come into direct contact with viruses and bacteria.

   F. They are found in green tea,apples,blueberries,red wine and cocoa.

   G. When you feel a cough coming,use a tissue,then throw it away immediately.

  Mind control Imagine looking at something and being able to move it just by using your brain!That is exactly what the new technology called BrainGate can do 一 with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.

   BrainGate is. the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA. BrainGate is attached directly to the brain. First of all,gold wires are put into the part of the brain that controls movement. These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片) . When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip. After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the signals into movements. Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements. BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.

   The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probably cost thousands of dollars per person. There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue nd his team. They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the computer at all times. Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who can't move their arms or legs. He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(瘫痪的胳膊或腿) .This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.

   This research is attracting the military's (军方的) attention as well. However,it is easy to understand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.

32. What does the underlined word “These” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

   A. Wires. B. Brains.

   C. Thoughts. D. Movements.

33. According to the text,what is one of BrainGate's disadvantages?

   A. It is too expensive.

   B. It needs improvement.

   C. It is difficult to control.

   D. It produces few movements.

34. How will Donoghue help disabled people?

   A. By making BrainGate smaller.

   B. By developing a wireless version.

   C. By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.

   D. By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.

35. What does the military think of thought-controlled machines?

   A. They could be useful.

   B. They could lead to disasters.

   C. They would be in mass production.

   D. They would face fierce competition.

   Mary Streech and her friends stood by the water fountain,talking casually. It was like any other day in the seventh grade,Mary remembers,until someone pointed to a girl walking by and said,“She's so chunky( 矮胖的) .” 

   As the others joined in,it became clear: “Being chunky” was a crime. And this girl was guilty as charged.

   At first,Mary felt relieved that they weren’t ragging on her,but by that night,the day's events had given her a stomachache. “After that,I became extremely sensitive,” she says. “If anybody looked at me too long,I'd assume they were sizing up my body”

   By high school,she says, “it was like being in a shark tank." Mean comments about people's bodies were the norm,so Mary started to diet 一 she wrongly believed that watching her weight could protect her from their judgment. And sadly,one year later,that diet had developed into a serious eating disorder.

   Now recovered,Mary is fighting to end that culture of hurtful comments 一 what she calls “bodysnarking." And her timing couldn’t be,better: As we spend more and more time critiquing each other's selfies (自拍照) ,openly judging other people's looks is becoming a national pastime of sorts.

   In fact,many experts believe body-shaming others has become a way to deal with our own emotions. “Sometimes our natural response is to criticize an easy target when we feel hurt or insecure,” says psychologist Robyn Silverman.

   This tendency to attack appearances is especially dangerous for teens,whose bodies — and identities — are still developing. Even if someone else's insecurities are fueling the verbal fire,it's hard to see it that way if you’ re the one being criticized.

   The best news of all,says Aaron Blashill,a psychologist at Harvard Medical School,is that our most effective defense against the culture of criticism is to not be our own body bullies(恃强凌弱的人) .He has conducted studies showing that there's a strong link between how we feel about our appearance and our overall happiness,despite whatever shape or size we happen to be. “It's more important to change how you think about your body than to change what it looks like ,” he says.

25. The day described in Paragraph 1 became special to Mary.

   A. because a girl was bullied

   B. because of a serious crime

   C. because of the water fountain

   D. because her friends talked to her

26. What caused Mary to struggle with an eating disorder?

   A. Her friends dieting to keep healthy.

   B. Her being criticized for being chunky.

   C. Her friends looking at her for a long time.

   D. Her dieting to avoid body image problems.

27. What does Mary mean by “bodysnarking”?

   A. Strengthening the muscles of the body.

   B. Returning to the normal state of health.

   C. Controlling the movement of one's body.

   D. Criticizing somebody for their appearances.

28. We can infer from the last paragraph that to be happy,people should .

   Most people don't notice I'm polite,which is the point. I am big and look less energetic. Still,every year or so,someone takes me aside and says,wYou actually are polite,aren’t you?” I'm always thrilled. They noticed. That's the thing. When we talk about politeness,we usually think of please; thank you; I like your hat; etc. AW we need to do is to hear,not to notice.

   When I was in high school,I read etiquette manuals (手册) . No one noticed my politeness except for one kid. He yelled at me about it. aIt's strange that you are always so polite,” he said. I took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. Real politeness,I reasoned,was invisible(看不见的) . It adapted itself to the situation.

   Politeness leaves doors open. V ve met so many people whom,if I had trusted my first impressions,I would never have wanted to meet again. Yet many of them are now great friends. One of those people is my wife. On our first date,she told me at length that she had an operation to remove a cyst (瘤) from her body. This is a cyst with hair and teeth. Of course,it killed the chemistry. But when I walked her home,I told her I'd had a great time. We talked a little after that. I kept everything pleasant and brief. Much later,I learned that she’d been having a very bad day in a very bad year.

   People silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. The good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. You don't have to have an opinion. You don't need to make a judgment.

   Last week,my two-year-old son,Abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. Out of curiosity,I suppose,he asked, “What's your name?” The woman told him. Then he put out his little hand and said, “Nice to meet you!” Everyone laughed and he smiled. He shared with her his firmest handshake,like I taught him.
