26、What are some life—saving health tricks and hacks?
Don’t smoke. Take a tube full of carcinogens, light it on fire, and breathe the charred remains. Yikes. Just don’t.
The more the food looks like it did when it started, the more of it you should have in your diet. An apple on a tree looks exactly like an apple in the store. 【1】. A steak looks quite similar to a butchered cow. You can eat some of that. Doritos look nothing like corn. You should eat none of them.
Exercise is important, but you don’t have to be crazy with it. I’ve seen lots of really old healthy people who didn’t go to the gym 5 days a week. But they did walk, bike, play golf, swim, and generally keep moving fairly regularly. I have also spent a lot of time with people who never did any exercise at all. 【2】.
Keep your weight down, but don’t add stress to your life over it. Carrying 100 extra pounds will statistically shorten your life and make you far more likely to suffer from diabetes, heart disease, cancer. Carrying 10 extra pounds might slightly increase your risk. 【3】. If losing those 10 extra pounds is going to cause you major stress, though, it’s not worth losing them. Stress is no good for you.
Speaking of stress, try to reduce it. This one is hardest for me — I’m high strung, work full time, have a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cars, and a house. 【4】. But you can do it. Try meditating, yoga, hiking, singing, whatever works for you.
【5】 Statistics don’t lie on this one — married people live a fair bit longer and tend to be healthier.
A．Find somebody to love
B．Carrying 0 extra pounds is best
C．An apple a day keeps the doctor away
D．The end of their lives was far less pleasant
E．We can benefit from less stress
F．You should eat apples
G．It’s not always easy to distress (卸压)
27、After eight puppies were abandoned on the side of the road in Texas, an animal shelter came to the rescue and brought them all the way from Brownwood, Texas to Wintersville, Ohio. Their journey was, by no means, a simple one.
The puppies were first found fighting for their lives in a muddy channel. They were extremely weak and dehydrated after being forced to protect themselves in the burning Texas sun. Once the puppies were discovered, their journey was far from over. They were immediately brought to what is known as a “high kill” shelter, and after only a few hours, were scheduled for euthanasia. Things weren’t looking good for the pups and were cruel despite lack of suffering. Luckily, they were rescued once more.
“There’s a group that specifically goes around to these high kill shelters and rescues the animals that are scheduled for euthanasia,” said Brandi Damewood, the JCHS Community Outreach Manager. “These guys were rescued by the Corrine T. Smith Animal Center.”
The puppies would eventually end up under the care of the Jefferson County Humane Society. This is because no-kill shelters and rescue organizations often work together to aid in urgent cases. An incredible network of shelters helping other shelters enables these miracle workers to save so many pets in danger of being put down prematurely.
The JCHS has appropriately titled the puppies’ journey “the freedom ride”. The 20-leg trip required 16 different volunteers to drive a total of 1,300 miles and they would meet at specified stops, and then the puppies would be transferred to the next driver for the next leg of the journey. But it was all worth it to save these adorable pups!
Since arriving in Ohio, the puppies have been vaccinated and are hoping to find forever homes in the near future.
【1】The underlined word “euthanasia” in Para. 2 most probably means “________”.
A．practice of killing without pain
B．medical examination for an animal
C．physical care of a baby animal
D．supplies of food and housing for animals
【2】What is the writer’s attitude towards the network?
A．Intolerant.
B．Doubtful.
C．Favourable.
D．Neutral.
【3】The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．volunteers worked together to find homes for abandoned puppies
B．abandoned puppies caused animal shelters too much trouble
C．shelters tried their best to cure eight abandoned animals in Texas
D．eight rescued puppies journeyed 1,300 miles in a “freedom ride”
28、Attention, People of Earth:
Fine.The big secret is out. A bunch of your finest science nerds have cracked the case and discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away-here, on the beautiful planet of Venus.Yeah, no duh. Congratulations on the big reveal. We have a polite request: Stay away.
We’re serious. No missions to Venus, no exploratory spacecraft, no sleepovers. If we wake up one morning and look out and see Bezos, Musk and Branson wandering around in tailored spacesuits,we’re going to be really ticked off.
We mean no unfriendliness. It’s just that we’re not terribly impressed by what you’ve got going on down there.
Earth looks like a mess. You’ve got health crises, environmental crises,political crises.You keep fighting about face masks. You haven’t figured out how to deliver French fries without having them get soft and disgusting. No wonder so many of you want to abandon Earth for another planet.
We know you’d like it here.That’s what scares us. You’d all move to Venus in an instant.
But we live in a fragile solar system. We can only handle so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians are going to want to come, too.
In the meantime, cool your enthusiasm. Tell Elon, Jeff and Sir Richard to settle down and stick to cars, books and planes. We’re not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.
We wish you the best in figuring it out. We have every faith you can save your planet. If not, try Pluto. They’re pretty lonely and bored out there.
Sincerely,
Venus

29、Go green
Are you worried about our earth? Do you want to do what you can to save it? 【1】 It may seem like the actions of one person won't make a difference, but there are actually many ways you can help. Here are some of them.
Turn it off.
Turn off anything that uses electricity when not in use. 【2】 If you leave your television on or don't turn off lights, it's wasting electricity. Remember to turn things off when you don't need them.
Start recycling (回收利用).
It's not just paper, plastic and glass that can be recycled — clothes can be, too. 【3】 It's good for the environment and you'll get a new look for free!
【4】
You don't have to travel far to get what you need, and products don't have to travel far to get to you, either. Shop at farmers' markets and buy food that was produced as close to your home as possible. And when you're online shopping, try to find things that won't have to travel long distances.
Save water.
If you don't let the water run when you're brushing your teeth and take showers instead of baths, you will be using less water and less energy — but you'll still be just as clean! 【5】 Use a method that requires less water to get the dishes clean.
A．Buy things nearby.
B．Think before you eat.
C．It's hard to know where to start.
D．Turn short jeans you've grown out of into shorts.

There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them. But the 67 medals at this year's Games in Rio and 147 at the Paralympics meant that the GB medalists’ reception at Buckingham Palace was a crowded and happy event.
Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations. Inspiration fed their aspiration; and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.
A few months ago, I saw inspiration of a different kind when I opened the new Cambridge base of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where Prince William works as a helicopter pilot. It was not hard to be moved by the 【1】 of the highly skilled doctors, paramedics and crew, who are called out on average five times a day.
But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals. I often draw strength from meeting ordinary people doing extraordinary things: volunteers, careers, community organizers and good neighbors; unsung heroes whose quiet dedication makes them special.
They are an inspiration to those who know them, and their lives frequently embody a truth expressed by Mother Teresa, from this year Saint Teresa of Calcutta. She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love'.
This has been the experience of two 【2】 organizations, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Prince's Trust, which are 60 and 40 years old this year. These started as small 【3】, but have grown beyond any expectations, and continue to transform young people's lives.
To mark my 90th birthday, volunteers and supporters of the six hundred charities of which I have been patron came to a lunch in The Mall. Many of these organizations are 【4】 in size but inspire me with the work they do. From giving friendship and support to our veterans, the elderly or the bereaved; to championing music and dance; providing animal welfare; or protecting our fields and forests, their selfless devotion and generosity of spirit is an example to us all.
When people face a challenge they sometimes talk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength. In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in'. But even with the inspiration of others, it's 【5】 that we sometimes think the world's problems are so big that we can do little to help. On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out【6】 , but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine.
At Christmas, our attention is drawn to the birth of a baby some two thousand years ago. It was the humblest of beginnings, and his parents, Joseph and Mary, did not think they were important.
Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most of his life, and never travelled far. He was maligned and 【7】 by many, though he had done no wrong. And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them because Christ's example helps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does them and whatever they themselves believe.
The message of Christmas reminds us that inspiration is a gift to be given as well as received, and that love begins small but always grows.
I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
