25、Traveling makes us feel sick because modern transport tricks the brain into thinking we have been poisoned, a scientist has said.
Being in a car, train, boat or plane makes conflicting signals in the brain which causes an action similar to something that happens when someone is poisoned. Dr Dean Burnett, from Cardiff University, said the feeling of sickness is caused because the brain thinks the body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting . But in fact, the “poisoning”effect is caused by the mixed messages-- for the muscles , they tell the brain the body is motionless, but for the ears, they got the feeling that the body has some movement.
Dr Dean Burnett explained that reading in a car made the feeling of travel sickness worse, because the eyes were focused on a small, motionless space and gave the brain no information to explain that the body was moving.
The feeling of sickness could be weakened by looking out of a car window because this showed the brain that movement was taking place. “You can see the passage and movement itself, and that balances the system,” he said. “The brain’s going: ‘Oh, look, things are moving--I must be moving’--and then it calms down the sickness.”
Dr Burnett said there was no clear reason why some people suffered from car sickness more than others. But he said there were several other aspects of modern life with which the brain had not yet recognized or understood.
【1】Tom often feels sick when traveling in a bus, because ________ according to the writer.

C. Looking at the movement itself.
D. Looking at something quiet.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. What a Terrible Travel! B. Why Do We Get Car Sick?
C. The Danger of Modern Transport D. How to Keep Balance.
26、 A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

27、Still worried about how many calories(卡路里)you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone app(手机应用)MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.
MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that want to help its users lead healthier lifestyles. DailyBurn has created several other health and diet—related iPhone apps MealSnap gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank(数据库)with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range(范围) of calories for the meal that is photographed.
We started with something simple—an apple. A couple of mimutes later, the app replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. What made us more surprised was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that in the bowl was “yellow rice with com, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.
Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.
What’s more, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photos will be stored. The users can keep a visual record. It’s like a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. Knowing the calorie range makes you think more about what you are eating and whether it is healthy enough.

A.help users have a healthy life
