21、Everyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it's very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?
When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层)to make them joined together nicely? Many people don’t really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.
It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to cancer if it is in our body for so long.
Luckily, there is a way of reducing the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌)them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them.
It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!

22、“Beauty is only skin deep." This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality. Some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.
In America，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health
experts advise against what is called“tanning”because of its links to akin cancer. In the African country of Senegal（塞内加尔），some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite.
An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and
soaps. The World Health Organization says that 25％of Senegalese women use skin-lightening production a usual basis. These products can contain chemicals，like mercury（汞）， hydroquinone（对苯二酚），etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the akin. They can actually burn the eyes and skin.
Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results. She users a cream that is made from carrots，not the strong chemical，hydroquinone.
She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Some women want to be black every day，but for her，she likes to be a shade of brown. Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband，
to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event. This thinking troubles Senegalese film-maker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So，she made“This Color That Bothers Me"，a film about the subject of skin lightening. She said，“I used the most
shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man，to he loved or they want to please society，to succeed."
Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of skin-lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

D. put beauty in the first place in their heads
【4】What is Sall's attitude towards skin-lightening products?

23、 Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe，meanwhile，one in seven said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts.
Why can't more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them？People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour，for instance，used such words as guilty，lazy，thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo(禁忌)，as well.
However，our research with Francis J. Flynn，a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business，suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.
We asked people to imagine themselves as a "giver," who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: "It's your gift, do what you want with it." Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it.
Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was ""National Regifting Day". It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn't know that: 30% of them agreed to regift.
Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn’t quite what they hoped for.
【1】Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour?
A.To highlight the importance of regifting.
B.To show people's attitudes to regifting.
C.To challenge the rightness of regifting
D.To express his concern for regifting
【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word unwarranted?
A.Unnecessary. B.Uncertain.
C.Unimportant. D.Unconscious.
【3】What do we know about the research?
A.9% simply kept unwanted gifts.
B.30% didn’t know National Regifting Day.
C.Givers generally didn't mind regifting.
D.Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards regifting?
A.Negative B.Neutral
C.Critical D.Approving
24、In my memory,winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to dress like a bear just to keep warm when you went outside.You were often cold,wet and no more than one step away from the thin ice on the lake.If you worked over time and went home in the dark,you would arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting.
Fortunately, things don't have to be so challenging any more.Technology,engineering and design have developed,giving us new solutions to old problems.It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
With a smart thermostat(恒温器), our homes can be toasty when we need them to be. Many models go with smartphone APPs that allow you to regulate temperature from a distance, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar.com, a large technology news and reviews website, Tado's model has a voice control function,while the Nest “learns” your habits and heats the house for you.
Clothes have been given an upgrade,too.Electronic heated jackets and trousers heat up when you turn them on.What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button,or through an APP on our phones,the clothes produce heat from materials placed inside.Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.
Finally, there is the headgear(头部装备) - Hats that have speakers which are included in the cloth using Bluetooth technology,so we can listen to our favourite music or,in some cases,have a phone call using the in-built microphone.All while keeping the head warm and avoiding coldness.
For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold.But using technology,life needn’t freeze up.There’s no reason why winter can’t be really,really cool.
【1】What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about?
A. Winters are very cold in the author’s hometown.
B. The author’s feeling about winter.
C. There was heating in people’s houses in the past.
D. The author’s impression of the winter in the past.
【2】What does the underlined word “toasty” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable.
C. Cool. D. Hot.
【3】What can we know according to the text?
A. Some models can set the temperature of the house before people come home.
B. The Nest can only warm the house when you press the button.
C. Jackets and trousers can be heated up by our phones.
D. The heating of the clothes do not last longer than 12 hours.
