Confessions of an English Opium-Eater
TO THE READER
I here present you, courteous reader, with the record of a remarkable period in my life: according to my application of it, I trust that it will prove not merely an interesting record, but in a considerable degree useful and instructive. In THAT hope it is that I have drawn it up; and THAT must be my apology for breaking through that delicate and honourable reserve which, for the most part, restrains us from the public exposure of our own errors and infirmities. Nothing, indeed, is more revolting to English feelings than the spectacle of a human being obtruding on our notice his moral ulcers or scars, and tearing away that "decent drapery" which time or indulgence to human frailty may have drawn over them; accordingly, the greater part of OUR confessions (that is, spontaneous and extra-judicial confessions) proceed from demireps, adventurers, or swindlers: and for any such acts of gratuitous self-humiliation from those who can be supposed in sympathy with the decent and self-respecting part of society, we must look to French literature, or to that part of the German which is tainted with the spurious and defective sensibility of the French. All this I feel so forcibly, and so nervously am I alive to reproach of this tendency, that I have for many months hesitated about the propriety of allowing this or any part of my narrative to come before the public eye until after my death (when, for many reasons, the whole will be published); and it is not without an anxious review of the reasons for and against this step that I have at last concluded on taking it.

We can infer that a clinical trial can be .A. safeB. popularC. riskyD. painfulBMore and more people are aware that an afternoon nap can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common myths about napping we still hear.Myth 1: Napping is only for the lazy.Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can boost everything from alertness and memory to creativity and productivity. And none of these sounds like laziness to us!Myth 2: If take a nap, I'll only wake up feeling worse.Fact: That groggy feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia) but it's not a guarantee. How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. "If you take it longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. You're going into a stage of sleep that's very difficult to get out of," said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph.D.Myth 3: You definitely shouldn't nap at work.Fact: In fact, in the office environment, we're all for catching a few winks during the workday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesn't offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close a door and dim the lights. Really desperate? Take a nap on your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.Myth 4: I'll be more productive if just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping.Fact: Yes, you'll be away from your desk if you take 10 to 30 minutes to sleep. But you'll likely make up for that "wasted" time afterward. "My research shows that people deteriorate after a long time of work during the day," Sara Mednick told Business Week. "It's difficult to sustain productivity all day." However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to tackle the task at hand.5. According to the passage, a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPT .A. making people think more quicklyB. improving people's memoryC. allowing old people to live longerD. raising people's work efficiency6. Sleep inertia is a condition in which you feel .A. worse after a napB. excited before a napC. refreshed after a napD. calm before a nap7. How you feel after your nap is related to the sleep .A. wayB. placeC. environmentD. duration8. Sara Mednick indicates that .A. taking a short nap at work is a waste of timeB. people become less productive without a napC. people become less productive after a napD. napping is only for the lazy and young childrenCTime may be one of the most essential ingredients for a healthy diet, finds new research in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.Spending more time at home preparing meals is associated with several indicators of a better diet, such as eating more fruits and vegetables. Conversely, spending less than an hour a day preparing food at home is associated with eating more fast food and spending more money eating out.The findings are based on responses from 1,300 adults who participated by phone in the Seattle Obesity Study in 2008 and 2009. Participants answered questions about how many hours a day they averaged preparing and cooking food and cleaning up after meals. They also reported on food consumption and spending, as well as use of restaurants. About 16 percent of participants said they spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation. About 43 percent reported spending between one and two hours per day on meal preparation, while 41 percent said they spent more than two hours a day on it.Employment outside the home was mainly responsible for fewer hours spent preparing meals. Notably, about two-thirds of those who reported that they prepared, cooked and cleaned up were women. People with less time available for meal preparation also appear to value convenience, choosing more often to eat out or to buy fast food and ready-made foods to eat at home."This study shows that not having time available may be one of the most significant barriers to achieving a healthy diet," said Lauri Wright, Ph.D., R.D.N., a nutritionist and assistant professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa.Wright added, "Nutritionists give close consideration to the issue of time when making their recommendations. They can give tips on ways to optimize(优化) time and money, such as planning meals, shopping ahead and preparing some foods in advance that can allow families to have quick-to-prepare healthy meals and snacks."Wright mentioned an observation made in the study, "Besides time and cost, people often don't feel confident about their ability to prepare healthy meals. But they can improve their ability to prepare healthy meals."9. How many of 1,300 participants spent less than one hour a day on meal preparation?A. About 210.B. About 530.C. About 560.D. About 620.10. According to the passage, which of the following factors mainly contributes to fewer hours spent preparing meals?A. Eating more fast food.B. Surfing the internet.C. Buying ready-made foods.D. Working away from homes.11. According to Lauri Wright, having more time available may lead to .A. more delicious mealsB. much worse healthC. healthier dietsD. more fast food12. What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph?A. How to optimize time and money.B. How to improve the ability to prepare healthy meals.C. How to achieve a healthy diet.D. How to clean up after meals.二、完形填空（共20小题；共30分）It's an astonishing act of human generosity. One man donated his stem cells to a 13 living on the other side of the world.

But just how effective are they?E-cigarettes look and feel like real cigarettes, 34. Inside an e-cigarette there's a battery, a heating element and a replaceable cartridge(筒芯) filled with liquids. Some of the liquid solutions have a mixture of nicotine and flavorings(调味品), while others just have flavorings. The heating element creates a vapor from the liquids that smokers can take into their mouth then push out of their mouth.Around 1.3 million Britons now use e-cigarettes. 35. For a start, they satisfy a desire for nicotine. Nicotine is a powerful drug that acts as a stimulant. It's also highly addictive. The tobacco contains over 4,000 chemicals, which sticks in the lungs. However, e-cigarettes have none of these dangerous substances, so you can enjoy them without damaging your health. Plus, there's no ash and no nasty smell. 36. You can smoke e-cigarettes in most bars, pubs and clubs. Can e-cigarettes help smokers give up the habit? Of course! Traditionally, people who want to stop have used gum. However, many find e-cigarettes more effective.37. For a start, there hasn't been much research on e-cigarettes, so no one is sure of the risks. The WHO says that while in e-cigarettes there are fewer chemicals which do harm to health, there are still some. Also, e-cigarettes can become addictive as people often suck on them non-stop, without realizing how much nicotine they're consuming. Others say that they glamorize(美化) smoking, making more teenagers start smoking.The public health officials in the UK have advised sticking to gum instead of e-cigarettes.A. So, why are they so popular?B. So, what are harms of e-cigarettes?C. But that's where the similarity ends.D. However, there are a few drawbacks.E. Some say that e-cigarettes are the answer.F.

素食主义者英语作文
素食主义者英语作文英文回答：Being a vegetarian is a lifestyle choice that has many benefits, both for individuals and for the planet. For me, choosing to adopt a vegetarian diet was one of the best decisions I've ever made.There are many reasons why people choose to become vegetarians. Some people do it for ethical reasons, as they believe that it is wrong to kill animals for food. Others do it for environmental reasons, as the meat industry is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. Still others do it for health reasons, as a vegetarian diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.Whatever the reason, becoming a vegetarian is a great way to improve your health, the environment, and the lives of animals. If you're thinking about making the switch,here are a few things to keep in mind:Start slowly. You don't have to give up meat cold turkey. Start by cutting back on meat consumption gradually.

eating insects阅读理解
eating insects阅读理解阅读理解eating insects,完成下列小题。
eating insectsInsects are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein （蛋白质）as meant from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment （环境）since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke，who studies insects，explained （解释）in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example，imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However，imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise （饲养）and sell insects，which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace （替代）animal meat very quickly. First，people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in NorthAmerica and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and po. But they don't traditionally eat insects. In fact，for many people in the west，eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example，David George Gordon wrote a book named Eat-A-Bug Cookbook，which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts （专家）travel around telling people about the benefit （益处）of eating insects. But they s have a lot of work to do.eating insects阅读理解训练题：（1）What can we get if we eat the insects？______A. Protein.B. Fat.C. Water.D.

Their terrible taste.B. People's old belief.C. Family life.D. Eating ways.（5）We can infer （推断）from David and other insect experts that______.A. people can make a lot of money from insectsB. insects should be better protectedC. people should eat more insectsD. it's dangerous to eat insects。
英语短文-Mothers who want their children to eat healthy food 'must lead by example'
Mothers who want their children to eat healthy food 'must lead by example'Mothers who binge on junk food are closely watched by their children who go on to adopt unhealthy eating habits of their own, according to a study.Those who eat a healthy diet at home set the best example for children who subconsciously monitor every mouthful, according to researchers at Michigan State University.The scientists studied the eating habits of low-income families.Taking the lead: Mothers who eat a healthy diet at home set the best example for children who monitor every mouthful, according to researchersThey found that mothers who want their children to eat well should adopt healthy eating habits themselves and encourage their children to eat decent foods.Those that use force, rewards or punishments in a bid to encourage their children to eat vegetables were far less successful.Lead researcher and nutrition expert Professor Sharon Hoerr said: 'Mothers should stop forcing or restricting their kids' eating.'They'd be better off providing a healthy food environment, adopting balanced eating habits themselves and covertly controlling their children's diet quality by not bringing less healthy foods into the house.'Overtly restricting certain foods from a child when others are eating them at meal times can lead to unhealthy eating, she added.Additional parental tips include maintaining regular meal and snack times, offering smaller portions of healthy foods and allowing the children to decide how much they will eat.'With picky eaters, it's best to coax and encourage them to eat rather than yell at them' Children who would rather play with their food or consume only junk food should be gently coaxed and not shouted at.Professor Hoerr said: 'With picky eaters, it's best to coax and encourage them to eat rather than yell at them.'Other ways to get them interested in having a balanced diet is to take them to the grocery store or garden, and help them select new foods to taste as well as allow them to help cook at home.' The study appears in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.。

Here are some more reading tips. First, read a chapter quickly to get a general idea. Then, if you wish, you can read it once again more slowly, using a dictionary when necessary. Second, do not stop every time you come to a word or phrase you do not know. Quite often you will find the unknown word appears again, perhaps several times, and by the end of the chapter you will have guessed its meaning. That is how we learn the meaning of words in our own language. Imagine that you come across this sentence in a book: "The house was beginning to get cold, so Daisy pulled her red, woolen cardigan out of her bag and put it on." If you do not know the word "cardigan", you can guess from the situation that it may be made of wool, and is put on to keep warm, and is therefore likely to be an article of clothing.

Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observation s of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places – and even species – that are not w ell-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?A. They are becoming outdated.B. They are mostly in electronic form.C. They are limited in number.D. They are used for public exhibition.33. What does Daru’s study focus on?A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observational data.D. Mobile applications.34. What has led to the biases according to the study?A. Mistakes in data analysis.B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C. Improper way of sampling.D. Unreliable data collection devices.35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A. Review data from certain areas.B. Hire experts to check the records.C. Confirm the identity of the users.D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.二答案解析三专家评价考查关键能力，促进思维品质发展2024年高考英语全国卷继续加强内容和形式创新，优化试题设问角度和方式，增强试题的开放性和灵活性，引导学生进行独立思考和判断，培养逻辑思维能力、批判思维能力和创新思维能力。
阅读理解：边学习边听音乐会提高效率吗 高考英语外刊阅读训练
高考英语外刊阅读训练——阅读理解：边学习边听音乐会提高效率吗？本文节选自：Nature（自然）发布时间：2023.04.06作者：Nikki Forrester原文标题：Sounds of science: how music at work can fine-tune your researchWhen it comes to access to music, this is a golden age. “You have an armada of music at your disposal at all times,”says Manuel Gonzalez, an organizational psychologist at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. It would take someone until the twenty-seventh century to listen to the 100 million or so songs currently available on the streaming service Spotify —without ever listening to a song twice, or to whateveris added from now on.There is also a seemingly infinite number of curated playlists to fit a listener’s mood or activity, claiming to help boost fitness performance, calm the mind or increase productivity. For example, the YouTube stream “Lofi hip hop radio —beats to relax/study to”has nearly 12 million subscribers. Many scientists listen to music while conducting experiments, analysing data and even writing manuscripts. But does music actually enhance productivity in the workplace?Listening to music releases various neurochemicals,including dopamine, which helps people to pay attention and motivates them to seek pleasurable activities, and opiates, which convey pleasure. According to Levitin, oxytocin, a hormone that can help with social bonding, is often released when people sing or listen to music with others. And sad music has been suggested to release prolactin, a soothing hormone. All of these translate to how people feel and perform in the workplace.Listening to music can help scientists to perform simple tasks, such as pipetting or data entry, by engaging the brain in a way that focuses attention. “Music might even serve as a way not just to make you more productive, but to also ease some of the unpleasant emotions that can happen while you’re doing routine tasks,”Gonzalez says. But for complex tasks that require a good deal of thought, such as brainstorming ideas or writing papers, listening to any type of music —regardless of lyrics, volume or complexity —can undermine performance, he adds.By contrast, simple songs in major keys can, through the release of dopamine, induce positive emotions that improve working memory, which widens attention. “You’re more likely to incorporate additional features of your environment into your awareness and use that information to generate new ideas,”says Keeler. However, the ability to choose what music to listen to, and when, is also really important.阅读理解：1. According to the passage, what is the main advantage of today's access to music?A.
