A
On the occasional clear-frost autumn right,I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf.Yes,my best friend is a genetically modified organism（转基因生物）;deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.
Our world is changing rapidly.In the last five decades,global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet.During this same time span,the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%.Miraculously,this did not result in the
great global famine（饥荒）one might have predicted. .
How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did?We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest;richest seeds for the next season.This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice,corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.
During my childhood,advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing stem growth,leading to shorter,stronger stalks that could bear more seed—the high-yield crops that feed us today.The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection.Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors.We can minimize a plant's weaknesses while adding to its strengths,and we don't have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.
It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.
I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home.But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity.We must feed,shelter and nurture one another as our first priority,and to do so,we must take advantage of our best technologies,which have always included some type of genetic modification.We must continue as before,nourishing the future as we feed ourselves,and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered.I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab,and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.

Kepler 22b, a planet more like Earth than any yet discovered, has been identified as a potential future home for mankind.
Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 22℃. It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life.
It is, however, 600 light years from Earth. The planet, where a year lasts 290 days, was first spotted two years ago.
However, NASA scientists using the agency?s Kepler space telescope h ave now concluded that it offers the best hope yet for future human habitation outside the Solar System.
One of the key standards for a planet to be habitable is that it remains roughly the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot.
This range of ideal temperatures is known to scientists as the “Goldilocks” zone, as the temperature is “just right” for life.
Bill Borucki, Kepler principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Centre, said: “We have now got good planet confirmation with Kepler 22b. We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.”
There are now three planets outside the system, known as exoplanets, which experts believe could potentially be colonised (建殖民地) by future generations.
In May, French astronomers identified Gliese 581d, which is far closer at around 20 light years away. It is about six times the mass (质量) of Earth and is one of a family of at least six planets.
In August, a team from Switzerland reported that another planet called HD 85512b and 36 light years away seemed to be habitable.
The planet is in the constellation of Vela, measuring around 3.6 times the Earth?s mass.
According to an online catalogue that indexes bodies outside our solar system, a total of 47 exoplanets and exomoons are potential habitable candidates but not enough research has been done to be sure.
62. Whether a planet is suitable for mankind to live on doesn’t depend on ________.
A. whether it is close enough to Earth
B. whether there are proper temperatures
C. whether there is atmosphere around it
D. whether there is land and water on it
63. In what way is Kepler 22b like Earth?
A. Its mass.
B. Its size.
C. Its shape.
D. Its conditions.
64. It can be learnt from the passage that ________.
A. Kepler 22b is closer to Earth than Gliese 581d
B. Kepler 22b’s mass is greater than HD 85512b’s
C. Kepler 22b’s year lasts longer than the earth’s
D. Kepler 22b is most likely to be habitable of all
65. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the farther a planet is away from the earth, the more likely it is to be habitable
B. the longer a year of a planet lasts, the farther it is away from the Solar System
C. the more potential habitable exoplanets are found, the more research we should do
D. the smaller mass a planet has than the earth, the less possibly there is water on it
D
Gamblers (赌徒）at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing（追求）money, which often succeed. So it is with happiness. Epicurus, a Greek philosopher, pursued it by living only in pleasant society and eating only dry bread for the sake of his poor health, with a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but something more nutritious would be needed for most people, for whom the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented (补充）in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life.
We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse (冲动)，and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. A cat will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the roof. Your needs are more complex than those of a cat, but they still have their basis related to nature. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too likely to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some topmost objective, and prevent all impulses that do not seem to serve it.
A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that he sacrifices health and private affections . When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except annoying other people by inspirations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies，although nature has not qualified them with any spontaneous (自发的）pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism (势利).
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. Also, many men devote their weekends to voluntary and unpaid laboi in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.
The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too seriously. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been led to unhappiness by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic (补药）when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic. It is the simple things that really matter. If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fiatetlil, his children’s noise unbearable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the lig ht of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new lifestyle 一a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology (生理）more than he likes to think. This is a simple conclusion, but 1 cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, 1 am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any imaginable change of philosophy.
66. What does the author think of Epicurus' way of pursuing happiness?
A. It deserves wide recognition.
B. It helps gamblers pursue money.
C. It is adequate as a personal rule of life.
D. It is suitable for a few individuals.
67. From the passage, we can learn .
A. humans can find pleasure without thinking too much
B. animals live in harmony with nature like humans
C. animals tend to be content with basic requirements
D. humans should learn to avoid high expectations
68. The businessman mentioned in the passage .
A. ends up with wealth but little happiness
B. attaches little importance to his life goal
C. makes efforts to meet basic requirements
D. succeeds in inspiring people around him
69. According to the passage, what do happy people have in common?
A. They are good at reading some fashionable ne\v books.
B. They get satisfaction from their worthwhile activities.
C. They possess the spirit of sacrifice without any reward.
D. They expect both family happiness and career success.
70. What’s the author’s opinion of life philosophy?
A. Philosophy plays a more important role than lifestyle.
B. Philosophy should n’t be stressed too much in our life.
C. Philosophy will determine how happy people feel.
D. Philosophy is generally based on one’s physiology.

A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hann ah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person bec ause all I could talk about was facts.”
In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his Engli sh ones.
In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about spor ts to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”
In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony (反话)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so ofte n. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.
58. It is implied in the noted sentence in Paragraph 1 that ______.
A. making jokes is a possible way for one to learn better a foreign language
B. humor is always conveyed to foreigners through vocabulary and grammar
C. vocabulary and grammar help you understand jokes in a foreign language
D. there tends to be something behind the words of a joke in a foreign language
59. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?
A. She thinks that Spanish people generally do not have much of a sense of humor.
B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.
C. She found that humor was a barrier to her getting along well with Spanish people.
D. She had a better command of the Spanish language than of the English language.
60. Joe Wong is used as an example to _______.
A. suggest that there are cultural differences in humor
B. show that it’s hard to put jokes into another language
C. prove that local people have different taste in humor
D. show that expressing ability affects the sense of humor
61. From the article we can learn that _______.
A. jokes about sports are difficult for foreigners to understand
B. Americans are generally more humorous than British people
C. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily
D. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable

Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure (结构). Scientists already modify the genes (基因) of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes, small flying insects, that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species (物种) of plants and animals that are damaging to other species.
In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released (释放) into the wild.
Sixteen biologists, ethicists (伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value
to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.
Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction (繁殖).
Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country's borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.
62. What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?
A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.
B. Getting rid of damaging species forever.
C. Having the changed genes in their next generations.
D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.
63. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants, what are scientists worried about?
A. They may become weaker or die out.
B. They may be more productive than before.
C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.
D. Their genes may spread to later generations.
64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are certain what exact results gene modification leads to.
B. Gene modification can benefit some farm animals and agricultural plants.
C. Scientists won't modify any genes before they make the final decision.
D. Gene modification will be encouraged in more creatures in the near future.
65. The article is mainly intended to ______.
A. appeal against research on gene control
B. show how to change genetic structure
C. inform us of power and danger of gene control
D. give the reason why gene modification is necessary
D
For many years, scholars have regarded My Mortal Enemy as somewhat of an enigma. Written in only a few months during the early spring of 1925 and published in 1926, Willa Cather’s shortest novel was sandwiched in between The Professor’s House (1925) and Death Comes for the Archbishop(1927). While the subject matter of these latter two works can be traced to Cather’s experience in the desert Southwest, My Mortal Enemy seemingly has nothing to do with these subjects or her Nebraska roots; it appears to have come out of nowhere, puzzling those who have tried to fit this rather irregular work into a logical progression of Cather’s artistic development. The question of what caused Cather to write such a novel at this point in her career, for example, has still not been answered definitively. One commonly held hypothesis (假说) was first voiced by Marcus Klein, who in his 1961 introduction to the novel wrote that for Cather, “The story of Myra Henshawe mu st have been a personal crisis”. Klein, though, acknowledged that he could not prove his theory, “because there is available no record other than the novel”. Emmy Stark Zitter has recently argued that in My Mortal Enemy and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940) Cather exercises the autobiographical impulse (冲击) by putting details of her own life into her fiction, but, like Klein, she is unable to name which “details” of her life Cather drew on in writing My Mortal Enemy.
As hinted (暗示) in the above statements by Klein and Zitter, much of the general uncertainty about the meaning of My Mortal Enemy can be traced to the absence of a persuasive theory as to who the real-life models for the novel’s characters were and what Cather’s relationship to them was. Cather herself wrote in a 1940 letter that, in James Woodress’s paraphrase, “she had known Myra’s real-life model very well, and the portrait drawn in the story was much as she remembered her”; Cather also added that the woman had died fifteen years before My Mortal Enemy was published, and that many relatives of this model later wrote to her to say that they recognized the “real” Myra from her description in the novel. Given such hints and Cather’s liking for drawing on her experiences in Nebraska for characters, settings, and plots, i t is quite understandable that scholars have thus looked to Red Cloud and Lincoln for possible sources of the people and events depicted in My Mortal Enemy.
In light of the evidence presented in this article, though, I believe that Cather intended her comments about the model for Myra Henshawe to serve as red herrings (转移注意力的言语) that would protect her relationship with the couple who were the prototypes (原型) for the Henshawes, both of whom were still alive in 1925. Mark Madigan has recently confirmed how Cather in 1905 had to hold off publ ishing “The

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Self-Care Strategies for College Students Most college students don't put self-care at the top of their to do lists. When you're caught up in the whirlwind (旋风) of classes, extra-curricular, work, friendship, and final exams, it's easy to ignore a task that doesn't come with a deadline (even if that task is simply “taking care of yourself”). Embrace the excitement and intensity of college life, but remember that maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health is essential to your success and well-being. ________ Instead, take time out to take care of yourself with some of these self-care strategies. Get Away for Some Alone Time. If you live with roommates, privacy can be hard to come by, so make it your mission to find a peaceful place on campus to call your own. ________ Take a Mindful Walk Around Campus. When you're strolling to class, try this mindfulness exercise to center yourself and destress. ________ Feel free to people-watch, but pay attention to sensory details too, like the smell of a nearby barbecue or the sensation of pavement under your shoes. Take note of at least five beautiful or intriguing things you notice along your route. You might find yourself feeling a little calmer by the time you reach your destination. Stage a Sleep Intervention. How much sleep do you really get each night? ________ By doing that, you'll begin the process of repaying your sleep debt and establishing healthy new sleep habits. Don't buy into the myth that the less you're sleeping, the harder you're working. Your mind and body need consistent sleep to operate at optimum levels – you simply can't do your best work without it. Download a New Podcast. Take a break from the books, grab your headphones, and listen to some immersive mysteries, compelling interviews, or laugh-out-loud comedy. There are thousands of podcasts covering almost every subject imaginable, so you're sure to find something that interests you. A. As you walk, pay close attention to your surroundings. B. Make a plan to get off campus and explore your surroundings. C. If you're averaging seven hours or less, commit to sleeping at least eight hours tonight. D. If you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, don't punish yourself by pushing your mind and body to their limits. E. A comfortable corner in the library and even an empty classroom are perfect places to relax and recharge. F. Actually, it is possible to shorten sleep time by up to 1 hour without the risk of sleep deprivation (剥夺) if you know how to have high quality sleep. 【答案】 D；E；A；C

高三英语阅读练习 Few people need to be told not to overspend on credit or debit cards or to curb impulse shopping. You know you shouldn’t, even if you always do. What you need are solutions. Whatever your problems with money, you can change—but it’s going to take work. After all, you’re trying to break lifelong patterns. Start with these strategies. Strategy 1 A lot of people set themselves up for failure because t hey have a mindset of either indulgence (放纵) or deprivation (克制). If you try to deprive yourself of too much, where you spend almost nothing, then you end up giving up, and you indulge, and then you overspend. So if you have an unrealistic plan, you’re prob lose control. Good habits happen when planned; bad habits happen on their own. Strategy 2 Changing your mindset is effective in solving the problem. Take Smith-Acuna for example. She says she had a couple in therapy who constantly quarreled about . They would always argue about how what she feels has become a monetary cliché much money they were spending at Starbucks. The wife loved capping off each workday with a drink. Ultimately, the wife ended up quitting her Starbucks habit. Instead of replacing her drink with nothing, she got something else, something free, in return. Strategy 3 ood start if you switch from paying for merchandise and services with a It’s a g easy when you’re using plastic to debit or credit card to paying with cash. It’s mindlessly swipe and fall into a pattern of not thinking or noticing how much you actually spending. You can divide up your money and put it into envelopes, marking down on the envelopes what each pile of money is for. That can make it easier to see where your money is going. Strategy 4 Get a receipt for every purchase. Breaking up your expenses into categories like food, clothing, housing, medical care and so on, but also labeling each expense as a need or a want. Be realistic as to what is really necessary. A need is something where credit. At the you would die or go to jail if you didn’t spend the money or ruin your end of the month, total up all the categories. Do this, and you’ll be more educated about how much money you actually have, and how much you have left over for fun stuff. Strategy 5 There is probably a reason you developed bad habits, which are often adopted on the road easier traveled. So if you’re suddenly balancing your bank accoun day, or you’re regularly putting money into an emergency fund, plan to give yourself some sort of prize for the past two weeks. You’ve been saving money or spending it more wisely, so you can probably afford it.

江苏高考英语任务型阅读真题与答案（2008-2018） 2018.11.15 2008 任务型阅读(共１０小题，每小题１分，满分１０分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。 Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever teh task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience. What comes first is to keep an open mind, becasue everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference. Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members. When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement. After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness —the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.
2016高考英语任务型阅读答题技巧 任务型阅读是高考英语试题中第二卷中的一种题型，分值为10分。本题型在测试考生阅读理解能力的基础上，侧重考查考生的单词拼写、词性转换、句式转换、段落归纳等综合能力。高考任务型阅读近三年文章体裁以议论文和说明文为主，词数在400~550之间。高考成绩的统计数据表明在这一项上，考生普遍失分较多。高考英语任务型阅读是英语阅读理解和完形填空的结合体，在掌握篇章表层含义的基础之上，还要求对文章结构框架的把握。考生不但要具备基本的英语词汇知识，而且要能够依据上下文的内容，运用逻辑判断，正确填出任务型阅读中的空白处。因而，任务型阅读对考生的英语阅读和对英语学科的感悟能力要求较高。也就是说，任务型阅读不仅检查考生的词、句、篇的掌握，而且涉及考生综合运用英语语法的能力。所以说，这种题型是比较全面的考查。学生在平时的学习过程中，要关注词汇的使用，领悟篇章的内部结构，同时还要注意词的搭配和语用知识。 一、任务型阅读题型的考查角度 1、单词的大小写（信息筛选题） 考生往往从文中便可直接找到答案，无需进行词性和词形的转化。但是如果没有根据英文首字母要大写的要求，或在特殊的上下文中。忽略字母的大小写，便无法得到本应该拿到的分数。 2、词性的变化（整合转换题） 要依据特定的语境结合文中涉及的词语，灵活地转变词性。比如：动词转变为形容词，形容词转变为名词，等等。 3、词形的转化（整合转换题） 主要依据任务型阅读提供的特殊框架，来敲定词语的各种形式。例如：文中过去式需要在题目中使用现在时，同时还要注意人称和数的变化。 4、近义词与反义词的转化（整合转换题） 根据任务型阅读题型中提供的已有信息，尽管文中也能发现相关的词语，却没能依据特定的语境进行必要的词语的转

江苏高中英语任务型阅读5篇 一．Ⅲ.任务型阅读 (2014·淮安调研)You say you want to be alone? Think again. Researchers have found that older people with fewer human contacts are more likely to die — even if they're happy in their isolation (孤立状态) — than people with richer social lives. The study adds to the debate over whether loneliness, social isolation, or some combination of the two leads to higher death rate. Social isolation is an objective condition in which people have little communication with others. Loneliness, on the other hand, is an emotional state felt by people who are dissatisfied with their social connections. To find out the effects of being alone versus (比对) just feeling lonely, Steptoe of University College London and his colleagues examined data from 6,500 Britons aged 50 and up who had filled out questionnaires evaluating their levels of loneliness. The most socially isolated subjects had a 26% greater risk of dying, even when sex, age, and other factors linked to survival were taken into account, the researchers report online today. They then made changes about their model to determine whether the connection to death was due to the fact that isolated people are often lonely. It wasn't. The researchers then explored the connection between loneliness itself and death. Intense loneliness also appeared to raise the risk of death by 26% —until the team took into account a host of other factors linked to survival, including wealth, education, and the presence of health problems. Once their impact had been explained, the scientists discovered that loneliness on its own didn't make people more vulnerable (脆弱的) to death. The researchers suspect that older people who have few social ties may not be getting the care they need. No one is urging them to eat right or take their medicine, and in a crisis no one is there to help. Other researchers praise the new work as rigorous (严密的) and well-controlled. But they say it's far from clear that social isolation, not loneliness, is always the real cause of increased death rate. Other studies, including an analysis of older Americans led by John Cacioppo, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, have shown a link between loneliness and a higher death rate. Cacioppo suspects that the disagreement between his study and the new research could lie with cultural differences between Steptoe's British subjects and Americans, and that Britons and Americans may define friends differently, too. Health psychologist Bert Uchino of the University of Utah praises the new study, but he says that researchers are still far from understanding how those two factors affect one another and other health-related behaviors.
