After establishing she was a match for Larry, Sue flew to the US. “The Colorado hospitals wouldn't accept me because it was the time of mad cow disease, so Larry found a hospital in Wisconsin that would do the operation.” Larry is now 73 and leading a full and active life.

Now Sue would like to donate a lung. In 2006, selfless donations became legal in the UK but not for lung donations so she's planning to go to America again.

“Snow algae（藻类）is already a part of summer on the Antarctic Peninsula. A warming planet may mean a lot more of it. The algal blooms（藻华）that blanket parts of Antarctica’s snow cover in the summer are likely to expand as the planet warms.” researchers say in a new study.

“Green snow algae is found in warmer areas along the coastline where summer temperatures are above freezing. but still cold enough for there to be snow.” say scientists in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. It’s also more abundant in areas in close proximity to nesting sites and gathering places for animals like penguins and seals, whose feces（粪便）fuel the algae’s growth.

Green algae isn't new for Antarctica—it’s known to have been there to some degree for decades. New Scientist notes. But what researchers found suggests that climate change could have a major impact on algae in Antarctica, which in turn, could have its own impact on a warming planet.

The scientists don't predict that green algae will spread on all part, of the penguin. In fact. some small low-lying islands are likely to lose algae, because those islands may lose their summer snow cover altogether-and the snow algae can't grow without snow. But they predict the amount of green algae is likely to grow on larger pieces of land, where it can spread upward to higher ground that still has snow.

So what does more algae mean, besides turning the landscape green? Ifs not totally clear. The green algae works as a carbon sink—the current amount of algae in Antarctica pulls about 500 tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year. On the other hand, algae also makes the surface of the snow darker, which leads to less sunlight being reflected from the snow's surface. Scientific American notes. That means that more of the sun's heat gets absorbed, speeding up wanning. It's high time that we should protect our planet.

28. What causes the algal blooms?

A. The melting of snow.

B. The rising air temperature.

C. The researchers' activities.

D. The covering of the blanket.

29. What do we know about green snow algae?

A. It has covered all parts of Antarctica.

B. It will spread to islands without snow.

C. It has some effect on penguins and seals.

D. It can grow in warm or fertilized places,

30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The effects of green algae.

B. A carbon sink in Antarctica.

C. Changes of Antarctica's snow.

D. The reflection from the snow’s surface.

31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To present a new finding about green algae.

B. To explain the origins of green snow algae.

C. To call on people to protect the environment.

D. To show his concern about green snow algae.

Brain games do not make you smarter. Companies like Lumosity made their bones throwing around terms like "brain elasticity'' to publicize their specific brand of brain promoting training, but upon further review, their claims were a bit dubious. They paid the price in the form of a $2 million false advertising fine, but their misstep doesn't mean there's no daily avenue to higher cognitive（认知的）function.

For kids, the best way to help improve cognitive function is through aerobic exercise. For adults, the best bet is more sedentary, and fortunately a bit less intense; if you want to up your energy and brain function, take sonic time out of your day to practice Hatha yoga or mindfulness meditation（冥想）.

A new study from the University of Waterloo took a look at the effects of 25 minutes of daily Hatha yoga or mindfulness meditation on brain function and energy in a group of 31 adults. The participants were asked to complete 25 minutes of quiet reading as a control activity and 25 minutes of varied meditation at random intervals. Following each activity, the participants were asked to perform a task which would measure their brain function and energy level.

The research found that following both meditation and Hatha yoga, participants would perform significantly better at the task. The participants who practiced Hatha yoga saw the most sizeable bump in performance.

“There are a number of theories about why physical exercises like yoga improve energy levels and cognitive test performance,” said Kimberly Luu, the study’s lead author, via Science Daily. "These include the release of endorphins, increased blood flow to the brain, and reduced focus on ruminative thoughts. Though ultimately, it is still an open question.”

Twenty-five minutes of Hatha yoga in exchange for higher cognitive function? Not bad at all.

32. What does the underlined word "dubious" in paragraph 1 mean?

A. acceptable

B. trustful

C. reasonable

D. doubtful

33. Why did the researchers from the University of Waterloo conduct the study?

A. To help improve cognitive function through physical exercises.

B. To test the effects of daily exercise on energy and brain function.

C. To measure participants* cognitive performance and energy levels.

D. To increase blood flow to the brain and reduce focus on thoughts.

34. What can we infer about physical exercises from Kimberly Luu's words? （

A. They are rarely built on a theoretical basis.

B. They attract people's attention to open questions.

C. They are beneficial to brain function and energy.

D. They lower people's levels of cognitive performance. 1

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Daily Exercise Promotes Brain Power

B. Brain Function Is Related to Energy

C. A New Study Changes People's Mind

D. Brain Power Controls Cognitive Performance
