21、Apples have always played a significant yet diverse role in history. Today apples continue to astonish in medicine, with headlines reporting that an apple a day really does have health benefits. In 2013, researchers in Oxford suggested that prescribing (开处方) either an apple a day or a statin (a drug used to lower cholesterol) seemed to be equally successful at preventing heart attacks and strokes in people over the age of 50.
EPIC study, one of the biggest studies of its kind, involves half a million people and looks at the effects of eating fruit and vegetables on disease. Participants consuming at least eight portions a day had an astonishing 22% lower risk of heart discase, and risks of some cancers were slightly reduced. However, other cancers were unaffected, and there was no real effect on diabetes.
How might the humble apple be declaring war on heart disease and cancer, two of our biggest killers? The answer might lie in polyphenols (多酚) in apples, which is useful for protecting the fruit from disease and also giving it color and flavor. They are known to have strong antioxidant (抗氧化剂), and may also protect by reducing blood stickiness and cholesterol levels.
Several studies also show a reduction in blood pressure when more fruit and vegetables are eaten. Furthermore, apples contain a fibre called pectin (果胶) which sticks to cholesterol and glucose in the gut (肠道), slowing their absorption. What is clear is that the apple is a complex mix of components, working together for the good of our health. Trying to make do with antioxidant vitamin tablets just isn’t good enough, as shown by scientists in the Heart Protection Study.
But can we cat enough apples a day to keep the doctor away? Eating too many may not be a good idea, especially with a risk of lasting exposure lo low levels of pesticide. Some people are even allergic to apples, and they can wear away outer layer of tooth. The Department of Health’s advice to consume ‘5-a-day’ (including both fruit and vegetables) might be a realistic starting point.
【1】Which of the following do the researchers most probably agree with?
A.People suffering strokes can be cured by eating apples.

22、The term "mood"refers to how we feel at a particular time. But our mood cannot be totally under our control. They may be affected by many factors. Believe it or not, the colors we see may affect our mood. People feel differently when they see different colors.
The colors yellow and orange make people feel happier. People say those who like yellow anorange must be optimistic and active and those who like blues and greens must be calm and shy. Red is the color of fire, and it attracts people's attention in a distance. It is such a strong color that sometimes it makes people nervous.Blues and green,on the contrary,are calming colors;they ease your emotion and slow your heart rate.Most fast-food restaurants,like McDonald'sand Kentucky Fried Chicken,avoid greens and blues,because those colors tend to make people take longer over their meals.

23、If you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'll have to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild are edible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.
Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.
Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.

24、These days, our health and wellness should be a priority. Gone are the days when people take themselves for granted. It is about time that we should start investing in good health. But with all the health and wellness tips found on the Internet, which one should you consider doing?
You may already know the basics of healthy living. But if you want to boost your efforts, it only makes sense that you use strategies tested and proven by scientists. Here’s what you can consider investing in so that you can finally enjoy better health and wellness.
Some people spend a considerable amount of time working while sitting down. You can be working in an office and spending most of your time doing reports on a computer. But if you want to be healthier, get up and walk more often while at work.
This is not to say that you should ignore your role and slack off. Walking more often, even for at least ten minutes at a time, can already help you achieve better health. You can always do a bit more walking when in a meeting, when going to and from work, and by taking the stairs instead of the elevators.
Making those legs work will help you get more exercise no matter how busy your work schedule is. Stop thinking that you have no time to go for a walk or run with your friends. By putting your mind on your goal, you can get more walking even if you already have your hands full at work.
Sitting all day is the new vice of many people. This increases one’s risk of diabetes, heart issues and even some cancer. You don’t want your mental health to suffer just because you were too lazy to walk while you spend hours at a time working behind a desk.
【1】What kind of exercise should you take when investing in good health?
A.Heavy load of exercise.
B.Any exercise you think of.
C.Methods tested and proven.
D.All suggested on the Internet.
【2】What does the underlined part “slack off” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Put something off.
B.Not take it seriously.
C.Treat whole-heartedly.
D.Be cautious specially.
【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A.There is no excuse for not going in for walking.
B.Busy work schedule leaves no time for walking.
C.You should reduce your work time for walking.
D.Walking can be done after you finish your work.
【4】What might be discussed about in the following part of the text?
A.How we can walk during work.

Every time I think about Zhaxi’s words “We’re not trying to save the animals. Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”, the image of Tibetan antelopes appears in my mind. For them, the 1980s and 1990s were bad times. The population dropped by more than 50 percent.
