The Ig Nobel Prizes praise research that makes you laugh and then think. The winners are allowed to make a one-minute speech with time kept by an eight-year-old! Every year, in Harvard’s Sanders Theatre, people watch the winners step forward to accept their prizes. These are physically handed out by real Nobel laureates (获得者). Let’s have a look at some of them.
The Empty Bladder (膀胱) Experiment
Four researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology found that animals above 3 kg empty their bladders in about 21 seconds. What is the purpose of this study The researchers hope this will help solve urinary (泌尿的) problems in animals.
The Science of Eggs
A team of Australian scientists managed to get hard-boiled egg whites to become raw (生的) again. While it sounds silly, this research could have a serious influence on cancer research.
The Fascination with Animals
Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites from the UK shared the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Biology. Thomas chose to live like a goat and wrote about his experience in “GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human”. Charles, on the other hand, spent some time in the wild, trying out the lives of many animals. He felt it gave him a chance to explore the world around us with more of our senses.
Colors & Horseflies
A team from Hungary, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland won the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics. They studied why horseflies have less interest in white-haired horses. The team used handmade horses covered in glue. They found that dark colors attracted more flies because of how sunlight reflected (反射) off them. To the food searchers, it was a sign of food. This finding could explain the white coats of zebras too.
21. Who give the Ig Nobel winners their prizes
A. Eight-year-olds.
B. Harvard professors.
C. Nobel Prize winners.
D. Nobel Prize organizers.
22. What did Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites have in common
A. They shared the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics.
B. Both their experiments centered on animals.
C. They did their research in the same place.
D. Both their experiments explored human senses.

Louis Sachar is the author of more than 20 books that are loved by children, parents and teachers. You might recognize his name from the series of Wayside School books or Marvin Redpost books. You might also know him as the author of the Newbery Award-winning book Holes.
As successful as Louis Sachar is at writing funny, touching books, he didn’t always know he wanted to be a writer. He remembers enjoying writing in school. In college he studied the Russian language. He spent some time as a teacher’s helper when he was in college and found he really enjoyed working with young people. Even after his experiences teaching and working with children, Sachar still hadn’t decided what career (事业) he wanted to have. After college he attended law school and got a law degree several years later. About ten years later, after writing several books, Sachar finally felt that his books were successful enough for him to write full time.
Sachar spends two hours writing each morning when he feels most fresh. He likes to be alone when he writes, except for the company (陪伴) of his two dogs. He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and to use these feelings in his books. He also uses his teaching experiences, as well as his daughter’s life.
Sachar doesn’t sit down with an organized plan when he starts a new book. Instead he starts with just a seed (萌芽) of an idea, maybe a character trait (个性特征) or a funny event. He starts writing and finds that writing produces more ideas.
Sachar doesn’t worry about perfecting his story the first time around. In fact, he may write his story five or six times before he sends it to the publisher.
24. What do we know about Sachar’s writing career
A. He studied writing in college.
B. He wrote about young people in school.
C. He didn’t decide to be a full-time writer at first.
D. He didn’t start writing until he became a teacher.
25. What might be a source of ideas for Sachar’s stories
A. His two dogs.
B. His childhood life.
C. Other authors’ books.
D. His lawyer experiences.
26. Which of the following describes Sachar’s writing habit
A. He writes with his daughter around.
B. He starts with an unclear plan.
C. He feels most fresh at night.
D. He writes all day long.
27. What might Sachar do after he finishes a book for the first time
A. He keeps on improving it.
B. He starts writing another one.
C. He asks friends to check it for mistakes.
D. He sends it to the publisher for perfection.
C
Forget calling the front desk. If you’re a guest at an Affinia hotel, the staff (员工) will try to find out what you need just by looking at you.
The Affinia Hotel Collection is improving service in its five hotels in New York City and one each in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on (以……为根据) body language.
A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for. A guest who makes eye contact while walking down the hall, for example, may be open to conversation. A businessman frequently touching an ear is probably nervous and may be interested in a therapeutic pillow (理疗枕头).
“So many companies, when they talk about service, they program it to how many rings till you answer the phone,” says John Moser, marketing officer for Affinia. “That doesn’t sound very reasonable. Let’s give employees some tools they can use to find out what’s the right way to talk with somebody at a particular (特定的) time.”
Patti Wood, a body language expert who carried out the Affinia training, says she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees. “All of the training is to make sure every single guest is treated as special,” she says.
Staff questions about a guest’s day won’t disappear, Moser says. But, he says, small talk isn’t always enough to get a reading of a guest’s needs. “You can’t always tell from the first sentence whether someone is happy or unhappy,” he says. “Measuring some of the things they’re showing, with the way they’re talking to you, can help our employees provide a service that’s more personal for them.”
28. What are Affinia hotels doing
A. Understanding their employees better.
B. Setting up new hotels in different cities.
C. Improving their employees’ body language.
D. Training employees to understand guests’ needs better.
29. What should a hotel employee do if a guest looks into his or her eye
A. Offer a pillow.
B. Make small talk.
C. Avoid speaking to the guest.
D. Be open to the guest’s suggestions.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The company.
B. The service.
C. The phone.
D. The hotel.
31. What does Patti Wood think of Affinia’s training
A. It is completely new.
B. It makes employees feel special.
C. It will take the place of staff questions.
D. It is following some other companies’ example.
D
In a world full of free information, some young people are still willing (愿意的) to pay for news they read.
A recent study shows that 40 percent of U.S. adults aged 18-34 pay for at least some of the news they read, whether it’s a printed newspaper or a digital (数码的) news app. Another 13 percent don’t pay themselves but depend on someone else’s subscription (订购), according to the Media Insight Project. Older ones are more likely than younger ones to personally pay for news.
“Forty percent is a strong number, but that means many people are still not willing to pay,” said Professor Keith Herndon. “We have to think of ways of making the news attractive enough so that someone would be willing to pay for it.”
The increasing amount of free news online and new ways for advertisers to reach more people has worried publishers of newspapers and magazines. Newspapers’ print ad revenue (收入) has dropped 63 percent, to $16.4 billion, in 2014 from 2003, according to Pew Research Center. Daily paid newspaper circulation (发行量) reached its highest point in 1984, at 63.3 million, according to an industry group. That was a quarter of the country’s population. Daily paid newspaper circulation has now dropped to 40.4 million, even as the U.S. population has grown by about a third.
There have been efforts to make the best use of digital ads. Digital ad revenue from newspaper websites has more than doubled as print ad revenue dropped, but still come to only $3.5 billion. And in recent years some major news organizations have begun charging for entering their websites and selling digital-only subscriptions, rather than posting news for free online. For example, The New York Times lets non-subscribers read a certain number of articles per month before they have to pay.
32. What has the Media Insight Project found out
A. Half of U.S. adults pay for news they read.
B. Some U.S. adults share paid news with others.
C. 13 percent of U.S. adults subscribe to online news.
D. Older adults spend less money on news than younger ones.
33. What’s Keith Herndon’s suggestion
A. Providing good articles.
B. Making attractive ads.
C. Offering different reading choices.
D. Employing experienced reporters.
34. What happened in 1984 in the U.S.
A. Publishers searched for new ways to show ads.
B. The U.S. population experienced rapid growth.
C. 25 percent of Americans paid for reading news.
D. Newspapers’ print ad revenue reached its highest point.
35. What can be learned about The New York Times
A. Its online articles are all free.
B. It doesn’t provide printed newspapers.
C. It is charging for full entry into its website.
D. Its main revenue has always been from ads.

What can you do with a simple piece of paper 36 However, if you learn a few basic folding techniques (折纸技巧), you could make many interesting objects, such as a ship, a truck or even a giraffe.
Origami is the art of folding paper into 3-D models of people, animals and objects. The word origami is Japanese. It comes from the word oru, meaning to fold, and kami, meaning paper. 37 Some historians believe that it was first practiced in China around 2,000 years ago. Others think that it was begun several hundred years later in Japan. 38 The paper is usually white on one side and colorful on the other side. It is also thin, which allows it to be folded many times.
Beginners are often taught several folds which are the starting shapes for other more difficult things. 39 These folds are used to create things such as a kite, fish, bird or frog. As a folder has learned these basic folds, he or she can move on to more difficult objects.
40 Others view it as an art form and a means of creative expression. Some people spend a great deal of time creating original (独创的) pieces. For example, one man created an origami model of the Starship Enterprise fromStar Trek. It took him a month to design the piece.
A. For some people, origami is a hobby.
B. However, the start of origami is unclear.
C. You could write a note to a friend or type a story.
D. What we do know is that it was developed in Japan.
E. Some basic folds include the mountain fold and rabbit ear.
F. Modern-day folders have experimented with many other things.
G. Origami begins with special paper that is 15cm long on each side.

Water plays an important part in the winners of this year’s Children’s Africana Book Awards. In “Gizo-Gizo!” by Emily Williamson, a spider pollutes it. In “The Storyteller” by Evan Turk, a boy uses it to defeat (打败) a powerful desert spirit.
The two books also explore the African art of storytelling, said Brenda Randolph. Randolph founded the awards many years ago to help kids learn more about Africa through books. “There is a strong storytelling tradition in Africa,” she said in an interview.
At the Hassaniyya Quaranic School in the city of Cape Coast, Williamson and her students wanted to write a book about pollution. “Gizo-Gizo!” is about a spider that throws unwanted things and chemicals into a lake that is shared by many animals. One day, he eats the lake’s sick fish and becomes sick himself. Then the spider decides to clean up his mess. The book owes (归功于) much to the “students’ memories of listening to their grandparents telling them stories and to their everyday experiences and imaginations,” said Williamson.
Turk wanted to create a book about the power of stories after he visited Morocco in 2012. On his trip, he learned that the storytelling tradition was disappearing. In “The Storyteller,” a thirsty boy receives a cup. It fills with water whenever he listens to an old man’s stories. When a spirit, from the nearby desert stirs up (引起) a sandstorm, the boy just retells the stories and waits. They have the water-generating (产生水的) power to push back the spirit!
While doing research for the book, Turk traveled to Morocco several times. He interviewed elderly storytellers there. On his most recent research trip, Turk met with some young Moroccans. They are learning from great storytellers and want to “keep the art form alive,” Turk said. He interviewed them and watched them tell stories. “I was so excited,” Turk said. These new storytellers will carry this powerful tradition into the future.
1. What similarity do the two books share
A. They both show the value of traditional storytelling.
B. They both tell children to believe in themselves.
C. They both talk about surviving natural disasters.
D. They both focus on environmental protection.
2. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.
A. cups
B. stories
C. storytellers
D. sandstorms
3. How was Turk’s recent research trip
A. It made him happy.
B. It increased his worries.
C. It encouraged him to write a book.
D. It helped him to make some friends.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. Water.
B. A spider.
C. Two books.
D. An award.
B
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. As a child, I looked forward all year to dressing up and going trick-or-treating. I still love putting on costumes ( 节日服装) and cutting pumpkins (南瓜). However, with childhood obesity (肥胖) on the rise, many parents nowadays want to limit added sugars in their children’s diets.
I spoke to dozens of parents about how they deal with Halloween candy. Some parents avoid taking their kids trick-or-treating and take them swimming or doing other sports instead. Their kids haven’t complained. And then there are parents who take their kids trick-or-treating and maybe let them have a couple of pieces of candy that evening. Once the kids are in bed, the parents change the candy for a toy.
A Pennsylvania State University study shows, however, that girls who have treats on a regular basis eat less of these foods when they are offered them and are likely to have a better body shape. Another study from the Netherlands compared the eating behaviors of children who were told they couldn’t have sweets or were allowed to eat what they wanted. The restricted (受限制的) groups wanted more of the foods they weren’t allowed to have and ate more on the whole.
As a food expert, I tell parents to see Halloween as a learning opportunity. Sweets and other treats are part of life, and keeping kids from less healthy foods doesn’t teach them how to manage them and control their eating as adults. It’s fine for kids to have a few pieces of candy a day, for example, as dessert (饭后甜点) after a meal. One way to do this is to have a piece of candy with lunch. This encourages mindful eating rather than distracted eating in front of the TV. Eating small amounts of treats should help kids learn to enjoy them more so they’re satisfied.
5. How did the author experience Halloween differently from today’s kids
A. She missed some activities because of obesity.
B. She was forced to do some sports.
C. She enjoyed herself heartily.
D. She preferred toys to candy.
6. What is some kids’ reaction to their absence from trick-or-treat
A. They say it’s unfair.
B. They are OK with it.
C. They show their anger.
D. They consider it encouraging.
7. What can be learned from the Netherlands study
A. Girls are less attracted to sweets.
B. Eating habits are formed from childhood.
C. Eating some candy can be helpful for kids.
D. Keeping foods from kids doesn’t teach self-control.
8. What does the author suggest about sweets
A. Avoiding them as much as possible.
B. Enjoying them with the family.
C. Sharing them with friends.
D. Having some with meals.

One possible version:
Dear Johnson,
Thanks for your inviting me to your lecture about American customs, which I would be happy to attend.
Interested as I am in American customs, I know only a little about them, so I think your lecture will surely help me have a better understanding of American culture. Besides, I wonder if I might be able to take some of my friends with me. They are also eager to learn more about American customs. I would appreciate it if you could give me your reply at your earliest convenience.
Looking forward to listening to your lecture.
Yours,
Li Hua

57. A。58. C。就在那一刻，“我”与那位汽车销售员有了某种“联接（connected）”。“我”开始觉得“我”的丈夫仿佛就矗身于此，陪伴在“我”的身边，告诉“我”不要因为失去他的车感到“难过（bad）”。

A
The Ig Nobel Prizes praise research that makes you laugh and then think. The winners are allowed to make a one-minute speech with time kept by an eight-year-old! Every year, in Harvard’s Sanders Theatre, people watch the winners step forward to accept their prizes. These are physically handed out by real Nobel laureates (获得者). Let’s have a look at some of them.
The Empty Bladder (膀胱) Experiment
Four researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology found that animals above 3 kg empty their bladders in about 21 seconds. What is the purpose of this study The researchers hope this will help solve urinary (泌尿的) problems in animals.
The Science of Eggs
A team of Australian scientists managed to get hard-boiled egg whites to become raw (生的) again. While it sounds silly, this research could have a serious influence on cancer research.
The Fascination with Animals
Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites from the UK shared the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Biology. Thomas chose to live like a goat and wrote about his experience in “GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human”. Charles, on the other hand, spent some time in the wild, trying out the lives of many animals. He felt it gave him a chance to explore the world around us with more of our senses.
Colors & Horseflies
A team from Hungary, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland won the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics. They studied why horseflies have less interest in white-haired horses. The team used handmade horses covered in glue. They found that dark colors attracted more flies because of how sunlight reflected (反射) off them. To the food searchers, it was a sign of food. This finding could explain the white coats of zebras too.
21. Who give the Ig Nobel winners their prizes
A. Eight-year-olds.
B. Harvard professors.
C. Nobel Prize winners.
D. Nobel Prize organizers.
22. What did Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites have in common

Louis Sachar is the author of more than 20 books that are loved by children, parents and teachers. You might recognize his name from the series of Wayside School books or Marvin Redpost books. You might also know him as the author of the Newbery Award-winning book Holes.
As successful as Louis Sachar is at writing funny, touching books, he didn’t always know he wanted to be a writer. He remembers enjoying writing in school. In college he studied the Russian language. He spent some time as a teacher’s helper when he was in college and found he really enjoyed working with young people. Even after his experiences teaching and working with children, Sachar still hadn’t decided what career (事业) he wanted to have. After college he attended law school and got a law degree several years later. About ten years later, after writing several books, Sachar finally felt that his books were successful enough for him to write full time.
Sachar spends two hours writing each morning when he feels most fresh. He likes to be alone when he writes, except for the company (陪伴) of his two dogs. He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and to use these feelings in his books. He also uses his teaching experiences, as well as his daughter’s life.
Sachar doesn’t sit down with an organized plan when he starts a new book. Instead he starts with just a seed (萌芽) of an idea, maybe a character trait (个性特征) or a funny event. He starts writing and finds that writing produces more ideas.
Sachar doesn’t worry about perfecting his story the first time around. In fact, he may write his story five or six times before he sends it to the publisher.
24. What do we know about Sachar’s writing career
A. He studied writing in college.
B. He wrote about young people in school.
C. He didn’t decide to be a full-time writer at first.
D. He didn’t start writing until he became a teacher.
25. What might be a source of ideas for Sachar’s stories
A. His two dogs.
B. His childhood life.
C. Other authors’ books.
D. His lawyer experiences.
26. Which of the following describes Sachar’s writing habit
A. He writes with his daughter around.
B. He starts with an unclear plan.
C. He feels most fresh at night.
D. He writes all day long.
27. What might Sachar do after he finishes a book for the first time
A. He keeps on improving it.
B. He starts writing another one.
C. He asks friends to check it for mistakes.
D. He sends it to the publisher for perfection.
C
Forget calling the front desk. If you’re a guest at an Affinia hotel, the staff (员工) will try to find out what you need just by looking at you.
The Affinia Hotel Collection is improving service in its five hotels in New York City and one each in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on (以……为根据) body language.
A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for. A guest who makes eye contact while walking down the hall, for example, may be open to conversation. A businessman frequently touching an ear is probably nervous and may be interested in a therapeutic pillow (理疗枕头).
“So many companies, when they talk about service, they program it to how many rings till you answer the phone,” says John Moser, marketing officer for Affinia. “That doesn’t sound very reasonable. Let’s give employees some tools they can use to find out what’s the right way to talk with somebody at a particular (特定的) time.”
Patti Wood, a body language expert who carried out the Affinia training, says she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees. “All of the training is to make sure every single guest is treated as special,” she says.
Staff questions about a guest’s day won’t disappear, Moser says. But, he says, small talk isn’t always enough to get a reading of a guest’s needs. “You can’t always tell from the first sentence whether someone is happy or unhappy,” he says. “Measuring some of the things they’re showing, with the way they’re talking to you, can help our employees provide a service that’s more personal for them.”
28. What are Affinia hotels doing
A. Understanding their employees better.
B. Setting up new hotels in different cities.
C. Improving their employees’ body language.
D. Training employees to understand guests’ needs better.
29. What should a hotel employee do if a guest looks into his or her eye
A. Offer a pillow.
B. Make small talk.
C. Avoid speaking to the guest.
D. Be open to the guest’s suggestions.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The company.
B. The service.
C. The phone.
D. The hotel.
31. What does Patti Wood think of Affinia’s training
A. It is completely new.
B. It makes employees feel special.
C. It will take the place of staff questions.
D. It is following some other companies’ example.
D
In a world full of free information, some young people are still willing (愿意的) to pay for news they read.
A recent study shows that 40 percent of U.S. adults aged 18-34 pay for at least some of the news they read, whether it’s a printed newspaper or a digital (数码的) news app. Another 13 percent don’t pay themselves but depend on someone else’s subscription (订购), according to the Media Insight Project. Older ones are more likely than younger ones to personally pay for news.
“Forty percent is a strong number, but that means many people are still not willing to pay,” said Professor Keith Herndon. “We have to think of ways of making the news attractive enough so that someone would be willing to pay for it.”
The increasing amount of free news online and new ways for advertisers to reach more people has worried publishers of newspapers and magazines. Newspapers’ print ad revenue (收入) has dropped 63 percent, to $16.4 billion, in 2014 from 2003, according to Pew Research Center. Daily paid newspaper circulation (发行量) reached its highest point in 1984, at 63.3 million, according to an industry group. That was a quarter of the country’s population. Daily paid newspaper circulation has now dropped to 40.4 million, even as the U.S. population has grown by about a third.
There have been efforts to make the best use of digital ads. Digital ad revenue from newspaper websites has more than doubled as print ad revenue dropped, but still come to only $3.5 billion. And in recent years some major news organizations have begun charging for entering their websites and selling digital-only subscriptions, rather than posting news for free online. For example, The New York Times lets non-subscribers read a certain number of articles per month before they have to pay.
32. What has the Media Insight Project found out
A. Half of U.S. adults pay for news they read.
B. Some U.S. adults share paid news with others.
C. 13 percent of U.S. adults subscribe to online news.
D. Older adults spend less money on news than younger ones.
33. What’s Keith Herndon’s suggestion
A. Providing good articles.
B. Making attractive ads.
C. Offering different reading choices.
D. Employing experienced reporters.
34. What happened in 1984 in the U.S.
A. Publishers searched for new ways to show ads.
B. The U.S. population experienced rapid growth.
C. 25 percent of Americans paid for reading news.
D. Newspapers’ print ad revenue reached its highest point.
35. What can be learned about The New York Times
A. Its online articles are all free.
B. It doesn’t provide printed newspapers.
C. It is charging for full entry into its website.
D. Its main revenue has always been from ads.

What can you do with a simple piece of paper 36 However, if you learn a few basic folding techniques (折纸技巧), you could make many interesting objects, such as a ship, a truck or even a giraffe.
Origami is the art of folding paper into 3-D models of people, animals and objects. The word origami is Japanese. It comes from the word oru, meaning to fold, and kami, meaning paper. 37 Some historians believe that it was first practiced in China around 2,000 years ago. Others think that it was begun several hundred years later in Japan. 38 The paper is usually white on one side and colorful on the other side. It is also thin, which allows it to be folded many times.
Beginners are often taught several folds which are the starting shapes for other more difficult things. 39 These folds are used to create things such as a kite, fish, bird or frog. As a folder has learned these basic folds, he or she can move on to more difficult objects.
40 Others view it as an art form and a means of creative expression. Some people spend a great deal of time creating original (独创的) pieces. For example, one man created an origami model of the Starship Enterprise fromStar Trek. It took him a month to design the piece.
A. For some people, origami is a hobby.
B. However, the start of origami is unclear.
C. You could write a note to a friend or type a story.
D. What we do know is that it was developed in Japan.
E. Some basic folds include the mountain fold and rabbit ear.
F. Modern-day folders have experimented with many other things.
G. Origami begins with special paper that is 15cm long on each side.

Water plays an important part in the winners of this year’s Children’s Africana Book Awards. In “Gizo-Gizo!” by Emily Williamson, a spider pollutes it. In “The Storyteller” by Evan Turk, a boy uses it to defeat (打败) a powerful desert spirit.
The two books also explore the African art of storytelling, said Brenda Randolph. Randolph founded the awards many years ago to help kids learn more about Africa through books. “There is a strong storytelling tradition in Africa,” she said in an interview.
At the Hassaniyya Quaranic School in the city of Cape Coast, Williamson and her students wanted to write a book about pollution. “Gizo-Gizo!” is about a spider that throws unwanted things and chemicals into a lake that is shared by many animals. One day, he eats the lake’s sick fish and becomes sick himself. Then the spider decides to clean up his mess. The book owes (归功于) much to the “students’ memories of listening to their grandparents telling them stories and to their everyday experiences and imaginations,” said Williamson.
Turk wanted to create a book about the power of stories after he visited Morocco in 2012. On his trip, he learned that the storytelling tradition was disappearing. In “The Storyteller,” a thirsty boy receives a cup. It fills with water whenever he listens to an old man’s stories. When a spirit, from the nearby desert stirs up (引起) a sandstorm, the boy just retells the stories and waits. They have the water-generating (产生水的) power to push back the spirit!
While doing research for the book, Turk traveled to Morocco several times. He interviewed elderly storytellers there. On his most recent research trip, Turk met with some young Moroccans. They are learning from great storytellers and want to “keep the art form alive,” Turk said. He interviewed them and watched them tell stories. “I was so excited,” Turk said. These new storytellers will carry this powerful tradition into the future.
1. What similarity do the two books share
A. They both show the value of traditional storytelling.
B. They both tell children to believe in themselves.
C. They both talk about surviving natural disasters.
D. They both focus on environmental protection.
2. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.
A. cups
B. stories
C. storytellers
D. sandstorms
3. How was Turk’s recent research trip
A. It made him happy.
B. It increased his worries.
C. It encouraged him to write a book.
D. It helped him to make some friends.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. Water.
B. A spider.
C. Two books.
D. An award.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. As a child, I looked forward all year to dressing up and going trick-or-treating. I still love putting on costumes ( 节日服装) and cutting pumpkins (南瓜). However, with childhood obesity (肥胖) on the rise, many parents nowadays want to limit added sugars in their children’s diets.
I spoke to dozens of parents about how they deal with Halloween candy. Some parents avoid taking their kids trick-or-treating and take them swimming or doing other sports instead. Their kids haven’t complained. And then there are parents who take their kids trick-or-treating and maybe let them have a couple of pieces of candy that evening. Once the kids are in bed, the parents change the candy for a toy.
A Pennsylvania State University study shows, however, that girls who have treats on a regular basis eat less of these foods when they are offered them and are likely to have a better body shape. Another study from the Netherlands compared the eating behaviors of children who were told they couldn’t have sweets or were allowed to eat what they wanted. The restricted (受限制的) groups wanted more of the foods they weren’t allowed to have and ate more on the whole.
As a food expert, I tell parents to see Halloween as a learning opportunity. Sweets and other treats are part of life, and keeping kids from less healthy foods doesn’t teach them how to manage them and control their eating as adults. It’s fine for kids to have a few pieces of candy a day, for example, as dessert (饭后甜点) after a meal. One way to do this is to have a piece of candy with lunch. This encourages mindful eating rather than distracted eating in front of the TV. Eating small amounts of treats should help kids learn to enjoy them more so they’re satisfied.
5. How did the author experience Halloween differently from today’s kids
A. She missed some activities because of obesity.
B. She was forced to do some sports.
C. She enjoyed herself heartily.
D. She preferred toys to candy.
6. What is some kids’ reaction to their absence from trick-or-treat
A. They say it’s unfair.
B. They are OK with it.
C. They show their anger.
D. They consider it encouraging.
7. What can be learned from the Netherlands study
A. Girls are less attracted to sweets.
B. Eating habits are formed from childhood.
C. Eating some candy can be helpful for kids.
D. Keeping foods from kids doesn’t teach self-control.
8. What does the author suggest about sweets
A. Avoiding them as much as possible.
B. Enjoying them with the family.
C. Sharing them with friends.
D. Having some with meals.

Dear Johnson,
Thanks for your inviting me to your lecture about American customs, which I would be happy to attend.
Interested as I am in American customs, I know only a little about them, so I think your lecture will surely help me have a better understanding of American culture. Besides, I wonder if I might be able to take some of my friends with me. They are also eager to learn more about American customs. I would appreciate it if you could give me your reply at your earliest convenience.
Looking forward to listening to your lecture.
