9.You may not  have heard of Ashoka,but for the past 27years,this association,founded by Bill Drayton,has fought  poverty (贫穷)and sickness,promoted education and  encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes,Ashoka provides money for the world's most  promising"changemakers"seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a  world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.If you see a problem that you care about,you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy,healthy,contributing adult.In fact,it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995in Dhaka,which handled the rubbish problem facing the city,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets,Attracting tats and disease,they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把…制成堆粪)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first,they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made,the project took off.In 2009sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

19.A new study,a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania,finds the fitness tracker probably does not help with weight loss.
The devices are designed to record your physical activity.They are usually worn around the wrist,where they measure a person's heart rate.The research team looked at two groups of individuals.The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling(咨询)with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan.The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms,but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms.John Jakicic,the lead researcher,questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of"effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet."
The study involved 470subjects aged between 18 and 35.Some of them were overweight,while others were considered obese(肥胖的).Over three fourths of the subjects were women.All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet.They had their weight measured once every six months.After six months,researchers divided the group into two parts:one continued with monthly counseling,while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker.Eighteen months later,both groups"showed significant improvements in fitness,physical activity,and diet,"with no major difference between groups.However,when it came to losing weight,the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said,"the study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America's obesity."More information is needed,he added,to learn how to best use these devices to change"physical activity and diet behaviors"in adults who want to lose weight.

32.All the participants in the study were asked toD.
A.wear a fitness tracker
B.start on a high-calorie diet
C.record their heart rates
D.increase physical activities
33.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A
A.The study went on for about two years.
B.More than 120men took part in the study.
C.Health counseling helps lose almost 3.5 kilograms.
D.Wearing a fitness tracker is more useful for keeping slim.
34.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?C
A.Wearing fitness trackers is a must when losing weight.
B.Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.
C.Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments.
D.There are great differences in fitness between both groups.
35.The purpose of the text is toB.
A.describe how the researchers were conducting the study
B.indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessary
C.convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight control
D.warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems.
