Michael J. Fox became famous all over the world after staring as Marty McFly in Back to the Future in 1985. Six years later, aged 29, he developed Parkinson’s disease. Since then, Fox—who is now 60 years old—has helped raise over $1.5 billion to help find a cure for the progressive nervous system disorder.
As the world’s largest non-profit (非盈利) organization that provides money for Parkinson’s research, the Michael J. Fox Foundation focuses on speeding up a cure for Parkinson’s disease and improved treatments for those living with the condition—which influences about seven to ten million people worldwide. The Michael J. Fox Foundation tries to achieve is goals through a highly aimed research program coupled with active worldwide efforts of scientists, Parkinson’s patients, business leaders, persons taking part in clinical trial (临床试验), and volunteers. Raising over $1.5 billion in research so far, the non-profit has basically changed the path of progress toward a cure.
The Canadian actor said that these treatments have already helped huge numbers of people, including himself. He said, “I enjoy life more. I’m more comfortable in my skin (皮肤) than I was 20 years ago. I can sit down and not be nervous. I couldn’t do that 25 years ago.”
Recently Fox told of his hope that biomarkers (生物指标) will be the next big stop towards treating and perhaps even stopping the disease. “If we can find ways to discover the condition before it’s obvious, if we could take a piece of hair and find it, then we could treat it preventively and then maybe you don’t get it,” he explained.
One thing Fox is sure of: He won t stop fighting until there’s a cure.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada have found that humans grew cacao (可可) trees and used cacao starting around 5,300 years ago. But the new discovery shows people grew cacao trees about 1,500 years earlier than what was known before. The researchers found evidence (证据) of cacao’s use at an old village in the highlands of southeastern Ecuador. Time has had little influence on the village, so they were able to find a lot of evidence of the use of cacao after examining the remains of very old objects at the Santa Ana-La Florida archaeological site.
The researchers found very small pieces from the cacao tree in the remains of containers and other objects. They also found a substance (物质) in the cacao tree but not in is wild relatives. This suggests that humans grew the tree for food purposes.
But thousands of years ago, cacao was used to make drinks. The objects on which cacao was found suggest a lot about how people used the substance at that time. They clearly drank it. There is no decided history of indigenous (土著) populations in South or Central America using cacao to make chocolate the way people do now. By the time Spanish explorers arrived in Central America in the late 1400s, people were using it to make hot and cold chocolate drinks with spices. By the 1580s, Spain began buying cacao from abroad and spreading it to other European countries. By the 1800s, technology developed in the Netherlands made it possible to turn cacao into a solid (固体的) chocolate product.
Laiskonis, who teaches chocolate-making classes at the Institute of Culinary Education, introduces his students to the history of chocolate. He tells his students, for example, about a recipe (配方) from the 1600s that mixed Mayan and Aztec types of cacao drinks with European influences. Laiskonis said chocolate is “something that’s always been changing.”
28. What does paragraph I mainly talk about
A. Great changes in the village. B. Remains of the use of cacao.
C. Cacao trees about 5,300 years ago. D. Cacao’s story older than once thought.
29. Why did humans grow cacao trees
A. To make containers. B. To do a research.
C. To satisfy the needs of life. D. To spread cacao abroad.
30. What do we know about the history of chocolate drinks
A. Spain spread them to all over the world.
B. Europeans made chocolate drinks with spices.
C. Native Americans used chocolate as it is today.
D. The Netherlands developed the solid chocolate.
31. What is Laiskonis’ idea about chocolate
A. ht has been improving. B. It remains the same style.
C. It influences Europe greatly. D. It interests college students.
D
The challenge with refusing to be addicted to food is, well, the food. It tastes good. It looks good. It smells really good. Saying no is an uphill fight. “It’s not about willpower,” says McManus from Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Why do we eat when we re not hungry It could be out of joy, but there’s a good chance that it’s because we’re anxious, mad, tired, sad, bored. As they are recognized as stress (压力), the brain gives out cortisol, which can increase the food intake, says Dr. Lilian Cheung, a lecturer at the Harvard TH. Chan School As a result, we may turn to food. Too often we eat while watching television, doing work, talking on the phone. We have little chance to realize that we are full and end up eating more.
So what can we do We should make eating as attractive as possible. Leave a space and use a good plate. Sit down—standing is speed—and taste the meal; if you’re with others, enjoy the company. It can be just 15 minutes, but everything slows down and you’ll feel more satisfied.
“We need to eat with all of our senses,” Cheung says.
And that goes for all food. There’s no need to eliminate the things that taste good but aren’t the healthiest. Things like ice cream and cake are often connected to something worth celebrating. When they’re coming up, we can use smaller plates and let the treats sit in our mouth. When we fully get ourselves in the experience, a little is usually enough and there’s no need to feel guilty (内疚的) for having it.
Before making any food decision, ask ourselves “Do I really want that ” But it doesn’t always work and it’s difficult to be always wise. McManus says that’s all right. Perfection is never the goal, especially at the beginning. “It’s an ongoing practice,” she says. “Over time we’ll see a big difference.”
32. What is probably the major cause of eating when we re not hungry
A. Stress. B. Pleasure. C. Willpower. D. Anxiety.
33. What is Cheung’s suggestion on eating
A. Using expensive plates.
B. Standing to taste the food.
C. Asking someone to keep company.
D. Turning eating into complete enjoyment.
34. What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in paragraph 4
A. Recommend. B. Avoid. C. Choose. D. Challenge.
35. What docs McManus mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Well begun is half done. B. Every coin has two sides.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. The early bird catches the worm.

Many people agree that our lives have been changed by the Internet, but I have recently realized that I live nearly my entire life online!
36 I usually have messages from friends or family, and I always reply right away. Then I open my favourite online radio station and listen to music while I get ready for school. While I’m eating breakfast, I often read news articles online. On my way to school, I usually wear my earphones so I can listen to an English podcast (播客) with interesting talks about many different topics. 37
Al lunch, I like to check some online forums (论坛) about topics I’m interested in, such as pop music and TV shows. I read the updated posts from other forum members and post my own thoughts. 38 , It’s also a good way to connect with others who share the same interests as me. On the way home from school, I almost always play with one of the many learning apps on my phone.

Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen than the world around. They think of you 56 the “face down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder 57 you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and 58 (take) selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life, as you would say
Other adults worry that today’s youth don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 200s 59 (raise) by “helicopter parents” who were always there 60 (guide) and help them with a busy schedule 61 (fill) with homework and extra-curricular activities. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in 62 (they) 20s or 30s.
Docs the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of them are better educated and 63 (creative) than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become 64 (leader). More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be 65 (hope) about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation.

Dear Sam,
How is everything going I’m writing to give you some advice on which club to choose. In my opinion, the Acting Club is more suitable for you. The reasons are as follows.
To start with, interest is the best teacher. Since you are interested in acting, you’d better choose what you like. In addition, you can develop kinds of abilities, especially your language skills in the Acting club. Most of all, you will have a good chance to experience a different life by playing different roles.
I hope my suggestions can be helpful to you. Best Wishes!
