Obesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now
considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.
Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food
than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat
by your body.
The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.
What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice
creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.
If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy
for physical activities.
The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.
There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or
bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.
Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need
to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as
heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.
1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____.
A. obesity does not do harm to health.
B. there are more obese children than before.
C. all the American children are obese.
D. there are less obese children in the USA.
2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph?
A. How to avoid obesity. B. How to live in the busy USA.
C. What illnesses are caused by obesity.
D. How doctors treat heart problems.
B
Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a
buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main
crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.
However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the
shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on
grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO).
James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide
barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the
jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to
form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.
The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech
discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the
thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the
surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant
material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all,
the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.
“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That
means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach
small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.
4. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.
A. stress their need for preserving produce
B. show their challenge in harvesting crops
C. express their wish to reach larger markets
D. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport
5. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product? A. It is financially supported by FAO.
B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.
C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.
D. It is based on plants’own defence system.
6. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?
A. How to expand farms.
B. How to earn more money.
C. How to produce more tasty food.
D. How to profit farmers in remote area.
7. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. promote a product B. present a technology
C. advertise SmartTech D. introduce James Rogers
C
Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully

My mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.
They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother
was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m
not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch
even when life separated them.
Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight
children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several
months living with her family inseedymotels.

As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question:
Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in
group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work
well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based
course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based

If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may
become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world.
Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris
overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone
not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous
attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant

When the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least,
that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back
to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay
when the sun was shining.
Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we
can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good
situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay
while the sun shines.

In the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce
in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question is how patients will
react to a robot entering the room. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently set out to
answer that question.
In a study, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care
provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.
“We’re working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care
workforce. The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us. In a
