7．The loneliest chimp（黑猩猩）in the world just got the best surprise-a hug from a new friend．Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years，finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago．
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company，visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread-the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island．It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand．The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him，with his smile from ear to ear．
For those who know Ponso's backstory，his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising．Ponso was one of 20chimps，all between the ages of 7to 11years old，relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre．After the tests were completed in 2005，the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands，occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps'new homes．
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso，his mate and their two children standing．But at the end of 2013they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone．
A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp，already achieving its goal of 20，000-allofwhichwillbeusedforPonso'scare．

17．What will you do if you are in a period of struggle？Here are five ways to find strength for you to overcome the difficulties．
1．Get off the mouse wheel．（36）E
 Like mice going round and round on the wheel，in tough times it is important that we don't spin ourselves out by limited thinking．Getting off the wheel allows us to slow down to deal with the problem．
2．（37）DHelen Keller once said，"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision．"Faced with a lack of hope，the why me？thoughts can come up．We my ignore the very things that can possibly keep us grounded．Don't forget to take care of yourself no matter how pointless it may feel．
3．Accept and let go，so you can heal and flow．
Without acceptance，it is very hard to move on．People hurt us or we make silly mistakes．（38）FAccepting struggles as they are，learning from them and mving on will make us strong．
4．It is not weak to speak-talk to someone．
Don't be too proud to talk to someone about your struggles．You may feel ashamed but it is one of the best actions you can take for yourself．（39）CTo open up helps with healing and overcoming troubles．
5．Learn from others．
Gaining advice from people we trust is very valuable in a struggle．（40）GThose are the ones who encourage us to rise up again．

A．Don't lose sight of who you are．
B．To keep the body in good health is a need．
C．Those who take courage to speak up do themselves and others good．
D．That we focus on our happiness is the foundation of rising above struggles．
E．Life is never fully in our control and we do not know what tomorrow will bring．
F．When life throws us into struggling situations，what can make it worse is our attitude to it．
G．We need to surround ourselves with people who will sincerely let us know that there is hope．
18．He looked shocked，then burst intolaughter（笑声）
15．While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still-Munchery instead of walking to lunch，Uber instead of walking to the bus stop-services to make you move have been less appealing for consumers．
Fitbit's stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force．And new data suggests that，for the first time，death rates for large parts of the American population are rising，with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons．Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives，wellness firms want us to believe．
Northrup，president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness，was in Las Vegas to promote TAO's small device that encourages exercises．He lifts the device，about the size of an apple，and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise．
Nick Mokey，the managing editor of Digital Trends，agrees．"I hate to break it to you，a room full of people sitting down，but sitting is killing you，"he says to the audience．They shift in their seats．
In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall，people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness．They say they're the largest seller of treadmill（跑步机） desks in the US．At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk，which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table．That's for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation．
Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle，they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building，neither tends to get used．If the company installs two next to each other，people will use them．"You don't want to be so noticeable，especially at work，"company spokesman James Lowe says．What's more，what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office？

32．According to new data，the rising death rates in America are caused byA．
A．lack of exercise        B．serious pollution
C．high work pressure     D．poor indoor environment

A．It takes up too much space．B．It is not comfortable to use
C．It may cause awkwardness    D．It will make employees tired．
2．The more hours that young children spend in child care，the more likely they are to turn out aggressive and disobedient by the time they are in kindergarten，according to the largest study of child care and development ever conducted．Researchers said this correlation （相关性）held true regardless of whether the children came from rich or poor homes，were looked after by a relative or at a center，and whether they were girls or boys．
What is uncertain，however，is whether the child care actually causes the problem or whether children likely to turn out aggressive happen to be those who spend more hours in child care．It also remains unclear whether reducing the amount of time in child care will reduce the risk that a child will turn into a mean person．What's more，quality child care is associated with increased skills in intellectual ability such as language and memory，leading some academics to suggest that child care turns out children who are"smart and naughty"．
The government-sponsored research，which has tracked more than 1，300children at 10sites across the country since 1991，is bound to cause the debate over child care again：How should people balance work and family？And how should parents，especially mothers．Resolve the demands that are placed on them to be both breadwinners and supermoms？
That debate was already on display at a new briefing yesterday，where researchers themselves had different opinions about the data and its implications （含义）．"There is a constant relationship between time in care and problem behavior，especially those involving aggression and behavior，"said Jay Belsky of Birkbeck College in London．one of the lead investigators of the study who has previously annoyed women's groups because of his criticisms of child care．"On behalf of fathers or mothers？"interrupted Sarah Friedman，a developmental psychologist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development （NICHD） and one of the other lead scientists on the study．"On behalf of parents and families，"responded Belsky．
"NICHD is not willing to get into policy recommendations．"said Friedman，contradicting her colleague．"There are other possibilities that can be entertained．Yesit is a quick solution-more hours in child care is associated with more problems．The easy solution is to cut the number of hours but that may have implications for the family that may not be beneficial for the development of the children in terms of economics．"In an interview after the briefing，Friedman said that asking parents to work fewer hours and spend more time with their children usually meant a loss of family income，which adversely（不利地）affects children．
Scientists said that the study was highly reliable．But the researchers said they had no idea whether the behavioral difficulties persisted as the children moved to higher grades．

32．Children who spend more time in quality child care willA．
A．develop greater ability in language   B．be easy to manage and less naughty
C．possess great risk-taking spirit       D．be greedy and mean to their classmates
33．What is still unknown about higher level of aggressiveness in kindergarten children？C
A．Whether higher level of aggressiveness can be avoided with longer child care．
B．Where longer child care equally affects children from different families．
C．Whether aggressiveness is a direct result of longer child care．
D．Whether longer child care improves intellectual ability in children．
34．In the fifth paragraph the word"it"probably meansC．
A．NICHD is unwilling to give parents recommendations
B．NICHD is willing to give policy advice concerning child care
C．the number of hours in child care should be reduced significantly
D．parents should discipline the behavior of their children more strictly
35．According to Friedman．Cutting the number of hours in child careA．
A．may prevent families from having the necessary financial sources
B．will make families unable to enjoy much of the social benefits
C．will result in subsequent behavioral difficulties in children
D．should be accompanied with the improvement in the quality of child care．
12．（36）D  If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market．You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket．But in either case，you are producing for the market．（37）G  If people stop buying tomatoes，you will stop producing them．
If you take care of a sick person to earn money，you are producing for the market．If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer，he is producing goods or service for the market．
（38）C  You may spend money in stores，supermarkets，gas stations and restaurants．Still you are buying from the market．When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck，he is buying your labor in the labor market．

16．A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care，which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered．
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad．Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings．She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits．
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company，telling him stories．When he was having an intravenous drip （静脉滴注），she would help massage his arms．The doctor found the patient much improved mentally．The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others．
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled．Each time the girl left，the old man would give her some money．The doctor did nothing to interfere （干涉），unwilling to offend the old man．A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma（昏迷） a few times．
When rescued from the latest coma，the old man told the doctor his last wish，"I have deep sympathy for the girl．Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies？"
But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies．Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car．
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man，the doctor told her the bad news．She was very sad and burst into tears．Then she handed $500to the doctor，saying，"The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty．He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling．"Now he got the answer to the puzzle．In the last period of his life，the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need．
