Being cold imitates the effects of exercise, protecting against obesity and improving health. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gut bacteria, which can lead to fat-burning, improve glucose metabolism, and reduce body weight.While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat — they need it to keep warm — but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can accelerate the formation of more brown fat in the body.Researchers predict the health benefits of being exposed to cold may be linked to gut bacteria. They exposed the first group of mice to cold temperature of 6 ℃for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major shift in the make-up of the mice’s gut microbes, preventing the mice from gaining weight.Then, the gut bacteria were transplanted into the second group of mice that did not have the gut microbes. It was found that they improved glucose metabolism and increased tolerance to cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria promoted the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.Professor Mirko Trajkovski of the University of Geneva claims that they provide powerful evidence that gut microbes play a key role in people's ability to adapt to the environment. They are excited about testing whether targeting gut microbes could be a promising approach for preventing obesity and related conditions.24. What's the new finding of a recent study?A. Good fat has nothing to do with calories.B. Exercise can make people become fat.C. Being cold helps people lose weight.D. Gut bacteria will stop glucose metabolism.25. What do we know about the brown fat?A. It's usually considered as bad fat.B. It will fail to produce in cold bodies.C. It can't be found in the bodies of adults.D. It burns more calories in low temperatures.26. With the gut bacteria, the second group of mice _______.A. kept losing weight continuallyB. had much less brown fat in the coldC. gained better ability to stand the coldD. produced more gut microbes in the body27. According to Mirko Trajkovski, the findings _______.A. could provide new treatment for overweight peopleB. show people how to get used to the coldC. remind people of the importance of keeping warmD. may cause more people to take exerciseCBritish parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do,research says.Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs. Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of ‘concerted cultivation’, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The parents interviewed here did notconnect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own right.One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “We’ve got two learning musical instruments. If we think it’s maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldn't force them.” A housewife said, “My son’s just turned five and I want him to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but it’s up to him.”In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”28. What do British parents think of music learning?A. Worthwhile as a family tradition.B. Helpful for character building.C. Beneficial to further education.D. Useful for job application.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Cultural practice.B. Educational success.C. Concerted cultivation.D. School-based musical practice.30. What can be inferred from the text?A. The future of American kids is not promising.B. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.C. American parents hardly link music with success.D. British parents show little concern about education.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Reasons for British music preference.B. Differences between British and American parents.C. Americans’ attitude towa rds music learning.D. British parenting style in music education.DWe traveled to Moscow for a river cruise. I had never been to Russia and my impressions of that country were formed by what I heard and saw on television and the newspaper. We were to be met at the airport by a driver who would then take us to the hotel as we decided to see Moscow before the cruise. We arrived on time, got our baggage and went to the gate, but no one was waiting and holding a sign with our names.We had the phone number of the driver and travel agency but no phone that would work in Russia. I noticed a young woman sitting next to me with a cell phone so I asked her if she spoke English and she replied "yes”.Would she please call our driver, I would pay for the call. I asked, "No problem," she replied and called both numbers but no one answered.A Russian woman holding a sign with someone's name on it, not ours, must have overheard this conversation and took the paper and called both numbers. Again, no one answered. She shrugged and sat down then her phone rang and in Russian she had a conversation.Then she started to tell me about the call, but in Russian. I said, "No Russian, English?" She said, "No English. Russian and Spanish." The young woman who had made the first call said she spoke Spanish. So the Russian woman relayed the information from our driver to the young woman in Spanish. Then the young woman told the information to me in English.The three of us looked at each other and realized what had just happened and laughed and hugged each other.32. We were supposed to be met by _______.A. a travel agentB. a Russian womanC. a driverD. no one33. How many people called the driver in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.34.
