Rice plants normally grow well in still water. But most will die if they are completely underwater for more than four days. Now, researchers have identified a gene that lets rice survive longer underwater. They say the discovery will lead to new kinds of rice plants that can survive flooding, and therefore reach their final aim, ensuring more dependable food supplies.
Tests are now being done in
On a genetic map of rice, the scientists became interested in a
group of three genes. They experimented with one of them, a gene known as
Sub-One-A. They found that when this gene becomes very active, it
improves the ability of rice to survive longer when rice is covered by
water. They believe it succeeds because it affects the reaction to hormones（荷尔蒙）. They
control the ability of a flooded plant to survive. Placing the gene into rice
plants that are especially good for conditions in
The researchers are now trying to identify all the genes governed by the Sub-One-A gene. Being able to leave water on rice plants for an additional week might also help farmers prevent the growth of weeds. Less weed growth around their crops would mean less need for herbicide（除草剂）chemicals.
49. Crop loss depends on all the following conditions EXCEPT_____
A. soil conditions and plant age.

B. To increase the ability of rice to fight against floods.
C. To help farmers spend less time removing weeds.
D. To make sure of enough food supplies.
51. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Genes. B. The experiments.
C. Genetically engineered plants. D. Hormones.

Yoga(瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. I was seriously out of balance, which kept me off the sports I liked .Yoga became my last hope and I began to practice in 1990 and later it even improved my other fitness activities. Now I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life.
When I practice yoga, it becomes part of my physical life. My body grows stronger and more flexible as I move from one pose(姿势) to another, I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat(休养所), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. Because yoga helps keep a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, it helps to regulate（控制）weight, Besides , yoga stretches muscles’ length, causing fat to be removed around the cells, and thus reducing fat.
Yoga becomes part of my mental life. Yoga teaches me to focus on breathing while I hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.
I always leave a yoga practice feeling energized and not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “give in” to the pose by letting go of (释放）the tension.
53. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Before practicing yoga, the writer hated doing sports.
B. It was dangerous to be addicted to yoga.
C. The writer had tried many ways to keep balance, but failed.
D. The time spent in practicing yoga mustn’t be too long.
54. According to the passage, yoga can help people_____.
A. grow taller B. lose weight C. keep happy D. keep safe
55. If you feel tired after practicing yoga, it means that you_____
A. are not fit for practicing yoga
B. work so hard that your body can’t stand
C. give in to the pose by removing tension
D. are not practicing yoga in a natural way.
56. What does the underlined word “tension” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Stress B. Energy C. Fat D. weight
