Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious （难为情）when they're in poorly lit places－and so more likelyto eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.28. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. T ony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. "Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible," he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of theNational Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money beforefinishing their education. "New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods," he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year______.A.arc better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUSstatistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D.

Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea.

I was in a quest for inspiration. Where could I find it? Books? Movies? Nature perhaps? 1 . I decided to go on a solo backpacking trip to a remote island.2 ? I was petrified and apprehensive at first. But being surrounded by untouched nature, removed from the distractions of the material world, is an extraordinary experience. The island was a paradise; dense forests, clear blue waters, white sandy beaches—an Eden-like sanctuary. It was just me and nature.3 .In the mornings, I would wake up early and watch the sunrise. It's amazing how a simple act like this can make you feel so alive and connected to the universe. I would spend my days hiking, exploring the different terrains, and observing the myriad of flora and fauna. 4 . The sound of the waves was like a lullaby, and the salty breeze on my face was refreshing.The island had a magical effect on me. It made me realize that we are just a small part of something much bigger. We are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, yet we have the power to create extraordinary lives and leave lasting legacies. 5 . It reminded me that I am capable of greatness and that there is infinite beauty in the world if we open ourselves up to it.A. What could be more inspiring than being alone in the wilderness?B. I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I had never experienced before.C. It was a transformative journey that allowed me to reconnectwith myself.D. The island was like a blank canvas, waiting for me to paint my own story.答案：B解析：根据上文内容，“The island was a paradise; dense forests, clear blue waters, white sandy beaches—an Eden-like sanctuary”，可知作者在那个岛上感到了“sense of peace and contentment that I had n ever experienced before.” 因此选B。
