A
Knowing which of these statements have been proved by SCIENCE — and which are MYTHS(谬论) — could improve your health. Here are some health facts your doctor wants you to know.
Not all heart attacks have a symptom of chest pain.
Truth! A 2012 study of more than 1.1 million heart attack patients found that 31 percent of men and 42 percent of women didn’t have any chest pain before being hospitalized. Call 911 for other symptoms, too, including shortness of breath, light- headedness, and pain elsewhere in the upper body.
You do not need eight glasses of water every day.
Truth! There is not any scientific evidence that eight is the magic number. You might need more or less than that, depending on factors such as climate and body size. To make sure you are getting enough, just drink water throughout the day.
You need less sleep as you get older.
Myth! Older adults often sleep less as a result of serious conditions that are more common with age as well as the drugs used to treat them. But that doesn’t mean they require less sleep. While sleep needs vary from person to person, most adults should get at least seven hours of sleep for health.
Reading in dim light will harm your eyes.
Myth! It might tire your eyes in the short term, but there’s no evidence that it will do any lasting damage. When reading, position light to shine directly on the page rather than from over your shoulder to reduce unpleasant bright light.
21. Which of the following has been proved to be true?
A. You are in need of much less sleep as you get older.
B. Reading in dim light does lasting damage to your eyes.
C. Some heart attacks don’t have a symptom of chest pain.
D. You must get more than eight glasses of water every day.
22. According to the text, what may be the result of using drugs?
A. Heart attacks. B. Weak eyes.
C. Less sleep. D. Shortness of breath.
23. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To inform. B. To entertain. C. To advertise. D. To praise.
B
A couple of weeks ago, my 12-year-old daughter Ella, threatened to take my phone and break it. “At night you'll always have your phone out and you'll just type,” Ella says, “I'm ready to go to bed, and try to get you to read stories for me and you’re just standing there reading your texts and texting other people,” she adds. I came to realize that I was ignoring her as a father. Ella isn’t the only kid who feels this way about her parent's relationship with devices. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a psychologist at Harvard, wrote The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age. For her book, Steiner-Adair interviewed more than 1,000 kids from the ages of 4 to 18. She talked to hundreds of teachers and parents. “One of the many things that knocked my socks off,” she says, “was the consistency with which children---whether they were 4 or 8 or 18---talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated or mad trying to get their parents’ attention, competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology.” A couple of years ago, my daughter got a laptop for school. And because she was becoming more independent, we got her a phone. We set up rules for when she could use the device and when she'd need to put it away. We created a charging station, outside her bedroom, where she had to plug in these devices every night. Basically, except for homework, she has to put it all away when she comes home. Steiner-Adair says most adults don’t set up similar limits in their own lives. “We’ve lost the boundaries that protect work and family life,” she says. “So it is very hard to manage yourself and be present in the moments your children need you.” After my daughter's little intervention（介入）, I made myself a promise to create my own charging station. To plug my phone in---somewhere far away---when I am done working for the day. I’ve been trying to leave it there untouched for most of the weekend. 24. Why did Ella threaten to break her father’s phone? A. Her father spent a lot of money on his phone. B. Her father did not do any housework at home. C. Her father made a lot of noise by talking on the phone. D. Her father gave his attention to his phone instead of her. 25. The underlined phrase “knocked my socks off” is closest in meaning to “_____”. A. made fun of me B. surprised me a lot C. took my socks off D. made me exhausted 26. In Steiner-Adair’s opinion, parents______. A. should control their use of phones
B. have a lot of things to learn from kids C. don't have to focus more on their kids
D. should not buy phones for their kids 27. We can infer from the text that the writer______. A. will not use his phone from now on B. plans to create more charging stations at home
C. is a man who learns from his mistakes D. doesn't think a laptop is helpful to his daughter
C
Since the sex of a sea turtle is determined by the heat of sand hatching the eggs, scientists had suspected they might see slightly more females. Climate change, after all, has driven sea temperatures higher, which, in these creatures, favors female children. They found female sea turtles from Raine Island, the Pacific Ocean's largest and most important green sea turtle living area, now outnumber males by at least 116 to 1. “This is extreme,” says turtle scientist Camryn Allen.
Biologist Michael Jensen wanted to know if climate change had already changed turtles’ sexes. By using genetic tests, he’d figured out that he could follow turtles of all ages. Still, his research data would lack an important detail: sex. Only after a turtle matures is it possible to tell its sex from the outside---mature males have slightly longer tails. By then turtles can be decades old, so scientists often use laparoscopy (腹腔镜检查), sending a thin tube into each animal, but that’s not so practical if you’re hoping to examine hundreds of creatures. Fortunately, at a turtle conference, he met Allen, and all she needed was a little blood.
They compared their results with temperature data for nesting beaches. What worries them is that Raine Island has been producing almost female turtles for at least 20 years. This is no small thing. More than 200,000 turtles come to nest there. During high season, 18,000 turtles may settle in at once. “But what happens in 20 years when there are no more males coming up as adults? Are there enough to maintain the population?” says Allen. They also found cooler beaches in the south are still producing males, but that in the north, it’s almost entirely females hatching. These findings clearly point to the fact that climate change is changing many aspects of wildlife biology.
But how widespread is this phenomenon -- and what is the consequence?
28. How might the scientists feel if there were slightly more female turtles?
A. It's normal. B. It's unique. C. It's extreme. D. It's doubtful.
29. What is a scientist’s conventional way to identify a turtle’s sex?
A. Testing its blood. B. Doing genetic tests.
C. Using laparoscopy. D. Watching its tail.
30. Why do the findings worry Jensen and Allen?
A. Too many females gather near Raine Island.
B. Sea turtles may end up dying out.
C. Turtle populations are in decline.
D. Female turtles cause temperatures to rise.
31. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. People should stop the phenomenon.
B. People have to test the consequence.
C. Climate change has changed sea turtles’ sexes.
D. More work needs doing about the phenomenon.
D
A new high-tech mirror, designed specifically for cancer patients, will only become reflective when a user smiles into it. The plug-in device, which exactly looks like a tablet, comes equipped with a mirror, a built-in camera，and a smart material triggered(触发)by some software. Facial recognition technology captures the face and instructs the surface of the mirror to change when a smile is detected. It can hang on a wall or sit on a table，much like a conventional mirror. Unlike a regular mirror，however，the price is currently standing at a surprising $2000---$3000.
After witnessing a close family member struggle through cancer treatments, Turkish industrial designer Berk Ilhan decided to focus his work primarily on products that would cultivate joy and benefit cancer patients directly.
“She told me in the first days after her diagnosis, it was difficult for her to look in the mirror and acknowledge she had cancer.” he said. “Our facial expressions affect how we feel. If we shrink our facial muscles to smile, our brains think that something good happened and as a result, we feel happiness.”
After earning his master’s degree at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Ilhan spent several weeks visiting cancer hospitals in Turkey, speaking to both patients and doctors. He spent two years designing and developing the mirror. The idea behind it is that smiling, even when forced, can make us feel better, according to research known as the facial feedback assumption. Laughter is linked to improved immune system fun_ction, and some researchers claim it can even increase our lifespans.
Ilhan is currently producing the mirror in limited quantities at the previously mentioned price. The product, however, will soon be launching a campaign in which Ilhan hopes to raise enough funds to bring the price down to $500. He also intends to donate the mirror to hospitals when it is financially possible to do so.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. To advertise a new high-tech mirror.
B. To give a brief introduction of a mirror.
C. To emphasize the importance of smiling.
D. To introduce facial recognition technology.
33. What does “she” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A cancer doctor. B. An industrial designer.
C. A family member of the designer’s. D. A student at the School of Visual Arts.
34. Why did Berk Ilhan design the mirror?
A. To prove a theory. B. To make a large profit.
C. To get a doctor’s degree. D. To benefit cancer patients.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. High-Tech Mirror That Works When You Smile
B. Our Facial Expressions Affect How We Feel
C. High-Tech Mirror VS Regular Mirror
D. Turkish Designer Promotes Mirrors

Dear John,
I’m so glad to receive your email, learning that you’d like to know what filial piety means. Now let me explain it to you.
It is universally accepted that filial piety is an important virtue in China. In my opinion, it means respecting your parents and the elderly. I usually spend much time chatting with my parents, accompanying them on walks and cooking delicious food for them. Besides，I also take exercise with my parents and study hard to please them. I’ll do whatever I can to make my parents live a happy life.
In a word, filial piety is a long-standing tradition in China and will be kept and passed on forever.
Yours.
Li Hua

Truth! A 2012 study of more than 1.1 million heart attack patients found that 31 percent of men and 42 percent of women didn’t have any chest pain before being hospitalized. Call 911 for other symptoms, too, including shortness of breath, light- headedness, and pain elsewhere in the upper body.
You do not need eight glasses of water every day.
Truth! There is not any scientific evidence that eight is the magic number. You might need more or less than that, depending on factors such as climate and body size. To make sure you are getting enough, just drink water throughout the day.
You need less sleep as you get older.
Myth! Older adults often sleep less as a result of serious conditions that are more common with age as well as the drugs used to treat them. But that doesn’t mean they require less sleep. While sleep needs vary from person to person, most adults should get at least seven hours of sleep for health.
Reading in dim light will harm your eyes.
Myth! It might tire your eyes in the short term, but there’s no evidence that it will do any lasting damage. When reading, position light to shine directly on the page rather than from over your shoulder to reduce unpleasant bright light.
21. Which of the following has been proved to be true?
A. You are in need of much less sleep as you get older.
B. Reading in dim light does lasting damage to your eyes.
C. Some heart attacks don’t have a symptom of chest pain.
D. You must get more than eight glasses of water every day.
22. According to the text, what may be the result of using drugs?
A. Heart attacks. B. Weak eyes.
C. Less sleep. D. Shortness of breath.
23. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To inform. B. To entertain. C. To advertise. D. To praise.

A couple of weeks ago, my 12-year-old daughter Ella, threatened to take my phone and break it. “At night you'll always have your phone out and you'll just type,” Ella says, “I'm ready to go to bed, and try to get you to read stories for me and you’re just standing there reading your texts and texting other people,” she adds. I came to realize that I was ignoring her as a father. Ella isn’t the only kid who feels this way about her parent's relationship with devices. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a psychologist at Harvard, wrote The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age. For her book, Steiner-Adair interviewed more than 1,000 kids from the ages of 4 to 18. She talked to hundreds of teachers and parents. “One of the many things that knocked my socks off,” she says, “was the consistency with which children---whether they were 4 or 8 or 18---talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated or mad trying to get their parents’ attention, competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology.” A couple of years ago, my daughter got a laptop for school. And because she was becoming more independent, we got her a phone. We set up rules for when she could use the device and when she'd need to put it away. We created a charging station, outside her bedroom, where she had to plug in these devices every night. Basically, except for homework, she has to put it all away when she comes home. Steiner-Adair says most adults don’t set up similar limits in their own lives. “We’ve lost the boundaries that protect work and family life,” she says. “So it is very hard to manage yourself and be present in the moments your children need you.” After my daughter's little intervention（介入）, I made myself a promise to create my own charging station. To plug my phone in---somewhere far away---when I am done working for the day. I’ve been trying to leave it there untouched for most of the weekend. 24. Why did Ella threaten to break her father’s phone? A. Her father spent a lot of money on his phone. B. Her father did not do any housework at home. C. Her father made a lot of noise by talking on the phone. D. Her father gave his attention to his phone instead of her. 25. The underlined phrase “knocked my socks off” is closest in meaning to “_____”. A. made fun of me B. surprised me a lot C. took my socks off D. made me exhausted 26. In Steiner-Adair’s opinion, parents______. A. should control their use of phones
B. have a lot of things to learn from kids C. don't have to focus more on their kids
D. should not buy phones for their kids 27. We can infer from the text that the writer______. A. will not use his phone from now on B. plans to create more charging stations at home
C. is a man who learns from his mistakes D. doesn't think a laptop is helpful to his daughter
C
Since the sex of a sea turtle is determined by the heat of sand hatching the eggs, scientists had suspected they might see slightly more females. Climate change, after all, has driven sea temperatures higher, which, in these creatures, favors female children. They found female sea turtles from Raine Island, the Pacific Ocean's largest and most important green sea turtle living area, now outnumber males by at least 116 to 1. “This is extreme,” says turtle scientist Camryn Allen.
Biologist Michael Jensen wanted to know if climate change had already changed turtles’ sexes. By using genetic tests, he’d figured out that he could follow turtles of all ages. Still, his research data would lack an important detail: sex. Only after a turtle matures is it possible to tell its sex from the outside---mature males have slightly longer tails. By then turtles can be decades old, so scientists often use laparoscopy (腹腔镜检查), sending a thin tube into each animal, but that’s not so practical if you’re hoping to examine hundreds of creatures. Fortunately, at a turtle conference, he met Allen, and all she needed was a little blood.
They compared their results with temperature data for nesting beaches. What worries them is that Raine Island has been producing almost female turtles for at least 20 years. This is no small thing. More than 200,000 turtles come to nest there. During high season, 18,000 turtles may settle in at once. “But what happens in 20 years when there are no more males coming up as adults? Are there enough to maintain the population?” says Allen. They also found cooler beaches in the south are still producing males, but that in the north, it’s almost entirely females hatching. These findings clearly point to the fact that climate change is changing many aspects of wildlife biology.
But how widespread is this phenomenon -- and what is the consequence?
28. How might the scientists feel if there were slightly more female turtles?
A. It's normal. B. It's unique. C. It's extreme. D. It's doubtful.
29. What is a scientist’s conventional way to identify a turtle’s sex?
A. Testing its blood. B. Doing genetic tests.
C. Using laparoscopy. D. Watching its tail.
30. Why do the findings worry Jensen and Allen?
A. Too many females gather near Raine Island.
B. Sea turtles may end up dying out.
C. Turtle populations are in decline.
D. Female turtles cause temperatures to rise.
31. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. People should stop the phenomenon.
B. People have to test the consequence.
C. Climate change has changed sea turtles’ sexes.
D. More work needs doing about the phenomenon.
D
A new high-tech mirror, designed specifically for cancer patients, will only become reflective when a user smiles into it. The plug-in device, which exactly looks like a tablet, comes equipped with a mirror, a built-in camera，and a smart material triggered(触发)by some software. Facial recognition technology captures the face and instructs the surface of the mirror to change when a smile is detected. It can hang on a wall or sit on a table，much like a conventional mirror. Unlike a regular mirror，however，the price is currently standing at a surprising $2000---$3000.
After witnessing a close family member struggle through cancer treatments, Turkish industrial designer Berk Ilhan decided to focus his work primarily on products that would cultivate joy and benefit cancer patients directly.
“She told me in the first days after her diagnosis, it was difficult for her to look in the mirror and acknowledge she had cancer.” he said. “Our facial expressions affect how we feel. If we shrink our facial muscles to smile, our brains think that something good happened and as a result, we feel happiness.”
After earning his master’s degree at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Ilhan spent several weeks visiting cancer hospitals in Turkey, speaking to both patients and doctors. He spent two years designing and developing the mirror. The idea behind it is that smiling, even when forced, can make us feel better, according to research known as the facial feedback assumption. Laughter is linked to improved immune system fun_ction, and some researchers claim it can even increase our lifespans.
Ilhan is currently producing the mirror in limited quantities at the previously mentioned price. The product, however, will soon be launching a campaign in which Ilhan hopes to raise enough funds to bring the price down to $500. He also intends to donate the mirror to hospitals when it is financially possible to do so.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. To advertise a new high-tech mirror.
B. To give a brief introduction of a mirror.
C. To emphasize the importance of smiling.
D. To introduce facial recognition technology.
33. What does “she” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A cancer doctor. B. An industrial designer.
C. A family member of the designer’s. D. A student at the School of Visual Arts.
34. Why did Berk Ilhan design the mirror?
A. To prove a theory. B. To make a large profit.
C. To get a doctor’s degree. D. To benefit cancer patients.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. High-Tech Mirror That Works When You Smile
B. Our Facial Expressions Affect How We Feel
C. High-Tech Mirror VS Regular Mirror
D. Turkish Designer Promotes Mirrors

Dear John,
I’m so glad to receive your email, learning that you’d like to know what filial piety means. Now let me explain it to you.
It is universally accepted that filial piety is an important virtue in China. In my opinion, it means respecting your parents and the elderly. I usually spend much time chatting with my parents, accompanying them on walks and cooking delicious food for them. Besides，I also take exercise with my parents and study hard to please them. I’ll do whatever I can to make my parents live a happy life.
In a word, filial piety is a long-standing tradition in China and will be kept and passed on forever.
Yours.
Li Hua
