Think of a caveman, and maybe you imagine someone tearing gat the flesh of an animal they’ve just hunted. But this picture maybe false—analysis of prehistoric remains suggests that Stone Age people were skilled in processing and cooking different kinds of seeds, even experimenting with different flavours. Seeds are still an important part of our diets, so maybe food choices haven’t changed as much as we think.
In botanical terms, seeds are what new plants grow from. Strictly speaking, edible seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and area significant source of protein and calories world-wide. Between them, rice and bread are staple foods in most of the world. Many cuisines use beans, whether cooked in stews or curries, or mashed into pastes, like hummus from the Middle East. This definition of seeds also includes coffee beans and the cocoa beans used to make chocolate.
Added to these are culinary(烹饪的) seeds. These are what we more often think of as seeds-we often buy them unprocessed and use them whole in cooking, whether as a seasoning, as part of a salad or as a topping for bread. This includes chia seeds(奇亚籽), sesame seeds(芝麻籽) and flaxseed(亚麻籽).
There are clear health benefits to including these seeds in our diet. They are high in dietary fibre, which is good for digestion and helps fight illnesses such as diabetes and bowel cancer. They are also a good source of unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪). Experts believe that using this to replace saturated fats, such as those from meat and dairy products, can lower cholesterol and help keep our heart healthy. The minerals contained in many culinary seeds, such as zinc, copper, and folate, can be beneficial for the immune system.
However, it’s not all good news. Seeds can cause an allergic reaction, especially sesame seeds. Sesame is one of the top ten causes of food allergies in the UK. Different types of seeds can share allergy-causing proteins, and other seeds that can cause allergies include sunflower seeds and poppy seeds.
28. Which of the following might the author disagree with
A. Cavemen made a living merely by hunting.
B. Stone Age people could try different flavors.
C. Stone Age people were good at processing seeds.
D. Seeds might be an important part of cavemen’s diets.
29. What does the underlined word “staple” in Paragraph 2mean
A. Rare. B. Main. C. Costly. D. Undiscovered.
30. What benefit of unsaturated fat is mentioned in the article
A. It can help defeat cancer.
B. It can help us digest cholesterol.
C. It can help keep our spirits high.
D. It can assist in keeping our hearts fit.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The British can note at sesame seeds.
B. We should eat less seeds but more meat.
C. Not all seeds are beneficial for everyone’s health.
D. We shouldn’t produce seeds causing allergic reactions.
D
Did you know many adults sit down for more than nine hours a day Maybe you’re one of them! Whether it’s working at a desk, sitting motionless in a car, bus or train or lounging on the sofa watching TV, we have a much more sedentary lifestyle than our parents and grandparents did. The question that this raises is just what it is doing to our bodies.
The news isn’t good. A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors, who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers, who spent many hours sitting at the wheel, were twice as likely to have heart attacks than the more active conductors. In fact, prolonged sitting has been associated with a number of different conditions, even in people who otherwise take regular exercise. If you sit down all day, you burn far fewer calories than someone with a more active job. There are suggestions that its lows your metabolism(新陈代谢))and makes it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar levels increasing the risk of diabetes
One possible answer to this s problem is for desk workers to use standing desks, to spend at least part of their day on their feet. One small study showed that office workers who stood for three hours after lunch had a much smaller increase in blood sugar levels, while another suggested that by standing for three or four hours a day over the period of a year, people would burn as many calories as if they had run ten marathons
Other experts question this figure and point out that standing all day can also have negative impacts, such as leg or back pain, recommending that if people do want to use standing desks, they should gradually increase the amount of time that they spend on their feet. Crucially, they also point out that there are many alternatives to sitting, and that their impact is unlikely to be the same; walking, for example, burns far more calories than standing.
32. What is the text mainly talk about
A. The dangers of long sitting. B. Measures to burn more calories.
C. Disadvantages of standing at work. D. Suggestions from the experts on health.
33. Which is not true according to the text
A. Walking burns far more calories than standing.
B. We are more active than our previous generations.
C. Leg or back pain could be a negative effect of standing all day.
D. Not being able to regulate blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes.
34. Who may burn the least calories
A. A bus conductor. B. A marathon runner.
C. A sitting desk worker. D. A standing office worker.
35. What is other experts’ attitude towards the figure from the last study
A. Ambiguous B. Approving. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.

You can be hurt by other people in life. That is a fact. And some of those hurts can even leave scars that affect how you think, act and relate to others. Then how do you handle the people who send you into depression 36 Definitely not. You can make a different choice to make painful circumstances direct you to a new path.
Remember you can’t please every single person especially a critical one. No one can do that. Some are praying for rain, while others are praying: for sunshine. You shouldn’t be replaying hurtful statements made to you. 37
38 We live in a society where we don’t get a whole lot of approval. It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it. 39 Don’t waste any energy trying to convince unpleasable, disapproving people that you are a great person. You should firmly believe you are happy as you choose to be.
Refuse to fight back. When we are hurt, the instant reaction is to fight back. However, striking g back only lowers you to the opponent’s level of immaturity. 40 It will help both of you. Bean actor, not a reactor.
It cannot be denied that dealing with other people effectively is one of the most important things you can learn in life. After you’ve mastered that you’re about 95 percent down the road to finding happiness.
A. So refuse to play the game.
B. Choose emotionally healthy friends 2u
C. Instead, you can pray for the other person.
D. Also, the deepest wounds are caused by rejection.
E. Additionally, it’s foolish to attempt what is impossible.
F. Realize that you don’t need others’ approval to be happy.
G. Withdraw into a shell, hide in a cave, and isolate yourself from others，

My mother influenced me a lot. When I made a mistake, she never turned a blind eye to it. She also helped me develop many good hobbies. In my childhood, reading books was one of my favorite hobbies. Especially during holidays, I often went to the library to borrow books.
One Saturday morning after breakfast, It old my mother that I’d go and borrow one or two books in the local public library. Then, I set out, expecting what wonderful books I’d come across. After cycling there, I was amazed to notice a new children’s book that I had expected for long. The book was from abroad and was beautifully designed.
Eager to go through it, I quickly took the book out of the shelf and hurried to a chair nearby. Once seated, I opened the book and turned pages. Suddenly, a terrible thing happened. Because of my finger’s too much force, one page was torn(撕破) by accident, which produced a clear sound. It made me immediately shocked and anxious. “If the librarians find I have made the book damaged, they may ask me to buy a new one, which can be expensive. And they may angrily blame me for my carelessness,” I thought. Soon, my face turned pale and my heart pounded fast. Just then, I noticed a librarian was walking in the direction of me. “Is she coming for me ” I wondered, with my legs shaking with fear. Afraid she’d notice the broken page, I hurried to close the book.
Finding something wrong with me, the librarian was concerned and asked gently, “Do you feel uncomfortable ” Is hook my head, replying, “No, I’m fine. Thank you!” The librarian smiled |and then left. When she was s out of my sight, I quickly stood up and put the book back. I had no intention of reading other books, so I left the library in a hurry, without borrowing any book.
Once reaching home, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, my mother, who was doing housework, stopped.
Paragraph 1：
She came to check what books I borrowed.
Paragraph 2：
Then, I carried glue and headed towards the library.
