7.Science can't explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some,an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A  study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more relaxed  around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about I1 pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12 pounds,more than 15% of their body weight.Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say researchers,got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing.
28.What does the text mainly discuss?D
A.Pets'value in medical research.
B.How pets help people calm down.
C.People's opinions of keeping pets.
D.What pets bring to their owners.
29.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well ifA.
A.he has a pet companion
B.he has less stress of work
C.he often does mental arithmetic
D.he is taken care of by his family
30.According to Allen,why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks?C
A.They have lower blood pressure.
B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous.
D.They are in higher spirits.
31.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA.
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D.people without dogs found the program unhelpful.

15.Unless you think you're the smartest,who doesn't want to be smarter?Of course I want to be smarter too,so I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from.(36)D.Here are the signs of smart people:
They don't talk as much as you,because they know they got smart by listening.
They probably do social media.Not always,but probably.(37)A They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won't have come across.
(38)F They never bother their head about the problem of"work-life balance"and somehow manage to seem 100% employed in what they're doing,even though you know they're taking proper steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced.
They know they are the smartest person in the room,but they don't spend their time talking about that.
(39)B That is,they challenge themselves to see if they can make everyone else the smartest person in the room,too.
They never,ever,under any circumstances,make you look stupid,even though it would be easy to do so.They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself.
If they are managers,they will make every effort to get their people smarter,more connected and more popular than them in their teams.They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic (相互促进的).(40)G

A.It is not only another chance to listen.
B.Instead,they take it as a personal challenge.
C.They know it is an advantage to them.
D.Now I have got an answer about whether someone's smart or not.
E.They'll be smiling even when things go very badly wrong.
F.They deal with home,work and personal interests perfectly.
G.They will also make sure their smart people look smarter than them for the same reason.
