20.One day,when 12-year-old Sean Redden went to a popular chat room on the Internet,he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before,Susan Hicks.Her message was"Would someone help me?I can't breathe.Help me!I can't feel my left side."
At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.But she asked,"It's not just some game,is it?
The message was not a joke."Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen,a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki,Finland---almost 7,000miles away from Sean's home in Texas.While searching the Internet,she began to feel terrible pain all through her body.The library was empty and the nearest phone was outside in the hallway.She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.
"I don't think it's a joke,mom,"Sean said.He typed,"Where are you?The letters appeared,"Finland."Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it.Not knowing what else to do,Sharon called the local police and explained the situation to officer Amy Schmidt.Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number and address.
Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator.When Sean heard that,he typed,"Help is on the way."

8.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environmental-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be"green gyms".They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it's free.

6.Everyone is familiar with white fat,which serves as an energy warehouse.Many mammals also have brown fat,which has the unique ability to produce heat.
Brown fat is sometimes mistaken for a type of gland (腺),which it resembles more than white fat.It varies in color from dark red to tan.When the animal is exposed to a cold environment,the color darkens.In contrast to white fat,brown fat has numerous nerves which provide sympathetic stimulation (刺激) to the fat cells.
Brown fat is most noticeable in newborn animals,wrapped round the central organs to keep them warm.In humaninfantsit occupies up to 5% of body weight,then declines gradually.Certain quantities of brown fat can be discovered in adult humans,especially when they are exposed to cold temperatures.Most of brown fat in adults is located in the lower neck.
Exposure to cold leads to sympathetic stimulation of brown fat cell.As in white fat,sympathetic stimulation promotes hydrolysis (水解) of triglyceride (甘油三酸脂),with release of fatty acids.In contrast to other cells,including white fat cells,brown fat cells express UCP1,which gives the cell's mitochondria (线粒体) an ability to produce heat rather than ATP.Within brown fat cells,most fatty acids are immediately combined with oxygen in mitochondria and a large amount of heat is produced.
There is only about 50g of brown fat in the neck region and it switches on and off throughout the day as it's exposed to different temperatures or if you exercise or eat.But this capacity is much greater in young children compared with adolescents and adults.
The challenge is now to use the knowledge to find out what might switch on brown fat.If it is switched on,we can benefit from it.Brown fat produces lots of heat by burning calories.Unlike white fat,brown fat does not expand our ageing waistlines.And that's why the race is on to find out more about brown fat,and how humans could use it to our advantage,though we would waste energy unnecessarily,and we would sweat a lot and forever be opening windows.
59.We can learn from the passage that brown fatA.
A.becomes less in amount with age      
B.proves less active in low temperatures
C.exists nowhere but in the lower neck   
D.has nothing in common with white fat
60.The underlined word"infants"in Paragraph 3means"D".
A.cells    
B.organs    
C.bodies    
D.babies
61.We take special interest in brown fat mainly because it helps usD.
A.save energy         
B.develop power      
C.keep warm        
D.keep our figure.
