Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of ―lawlessness‖ in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.―I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,‖ says Gin. ―I‘ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don‘t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.‖―I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,‖ continues Gin. ―I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.‖His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that ―night milk‖ contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32.

训练7 阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday,which one would you prefer,a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?According to Science Daily,about onethird of the people are like ly to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”,namely,those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in 2009,Ryan Howell,a professor at San Francisco State University,found that in the long run,experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences,on the other hand,can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something,shouldn’t they?To figure it out,Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types,ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected,the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic,because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values.But to Howell’s surprise,he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic,we think less of them,and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person,there’s something you can try.“If materialists make more accurate purchases,rather than trying to impressothers,they will be happier,” Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said,“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hop ed for.”1.What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?A.Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.B.About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C.Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D.Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.2.What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?A.How to judge whether a person is a materialist.B.Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.C.How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.D.Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.3.Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph?A.To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.B.To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.C.To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.D.To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Are You a Materialist?B.How To Acquire Happiness?C.The Best Present for the BirthdayD.Which Can Make people Happier?【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。

I decided to check out DuPont Circle.I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $10.He wasn't there,but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely,so I approached him.Now I had to figure out what I was going to say,I think I said something like,“Hi,can I sit down here?”“I wouldlike to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said,I did,then he looked at me funny,got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave.He appeared to be in his 60s.I don't know what drew me to him,but I thought I would make my second attempt.I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop.Then I explained that I was starting a yearlong project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him.The gentleman,I later found out that his name was Ed,responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him.This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen.People would think of others before themselves.1.The author set the starting date on December 15 to .A.help the charityB.remember his motherC.make an explosionD.fulfill a wish of his mum2.In the author's first attempt to give away the money,.A.he was considered ridiculousB.he hesitated for a long timeC.he was forced to donate the moneyD.he had no time to take action3.In the author's second attempt,the gentleman refused his offer because .A.he didn't need other's helpB.he thought more for othersC.he didn't care about moneyD.he wanted to get more money4.We can infer that the author was inspired by .A.true friendshipB.his own kindnessC.generous donationsD.human's good nature【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文,属于人生百味类短文阅读。

But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer.For the28-year-old CEO of Trenton,New Jersey-based TerraCycle,they’re a business model.The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling (升级改造).Instead of recycling,TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (废物填埋地) and reuses it—more or less whole.TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products,sold at shops such as Petco,Kmart,Whole Foods Market,and Target.Szaky’s $7.4 million company,now also moving ahead in Mexico,Canada,the United Kingdom and Brazil,is quite different from the business he founded with his classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University.The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell organic plant fertilizers made from worm waste.They lost the competition,but started the business anyway.With their goal—to make products entirely out of rubbish—suddenly clear,Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.TerraCycle’s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer.The result: a cheap,green breakthrough.Word spread,and in 2004,Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.To Szaky,waste does not exist in nature.TerraCycle ’is a “second chance” employer of,say,a piece of furniture,an ice-cream container.As Szaky points out,“The biggest problem with most green,fair-trade,and organic products is that they tend to cost more.At TerraCycle,everything is made from rubbish,and rubbish is free.People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”1.What is Tom Szaky now?A.The CEO of TerraCycle.B.An employee of Home Depot.C.A student at Princeton University.D.The manager of a food company.2.How did Szaky get the idea of upcycling?A.From his visits to foreign companies.B.From his studies at Princeton University.C.Through shopping at big stores in America.D.Through the experience of a business competition.3.What is the goal of TerraCycle?A.To make cheap and green products.B.To recycle waste materials in another way.C.To make products completely out of rubbish.D.To change worm waste into organic plant fertilizers.4.What is the advantage of upcycling according to Szaky?A.The cost is kept rather low.B.More materials are available.C.It has a large promising market.D.Its products are environmentally friendly.【语篇解读】本文介绍了Szaky创立TerraCycle公司对垃圾进行升级改造,从而制造出新产品的经过及理念。
