21、Some risk factors are reported to impact the severity of COVID-19.Among them was fatness or obesity.
In a healthy body, fat tissue(脂肪组织) serves as storage of energy in times of food shortage and it is also full of immune cells. In thin , healthy individuals, it produces anti-inflammatory(消炎的)and protective factors. If , however, the fat tissue becomes unhealthy, as often happens in people with obesity it can produce chemical signals that promote inflammation, raising the rise of some infectious diseases like COVID-19.a Researchers are studying the mechanisms by which this inflammation occurs.One assumption is that when fat cells become overloaded with nutrients,the intercellular stress can set off an “inflammatory cascade(级联反应)”“With obesity, people store a lot of nutrients in fat cells, but they also begin to release more than normal as they grow,"says Andrew Greenberg,director of an obesity laboratory.“These enter the blood and bind to immune cells in the liver and muscle. And this leads to the release of inflammatory factors.”
Poor diet can also play a role in increasing inflammation. It changes the composition of the intestinal microbiome(肠道菌群),probably producing toxins(毒素),and obesity allows the toxins to be released into the bloodstream.
While diet can be harmful and inflammatory, good nutrition does the opposite. Some nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, can work to diminish inflammation.One eating plan is the Mediterranean diet, which is thought to provide people with protective compounds.
Greenberg says more research is needed to determine whether supplements, including fish oil, and fiber, can work to treat inflammation and boost immunity associated with obesity. The most reliable approach, is weight loss. And a small amount can make a difference.“They don't have to be at their ideal body weight,” Greenberg says.“Even losing 5 to 10 percent of a person's weight helps improve their condition.”According to a 2017 study, a 20-minute session of walking can stimulate in anti-inflammatory response.

22、Seventy years ago I was quite a small little girl, the baby of the family, with an older brother and sister. My father was very ill at the time, and my mother took in sewing(缝纫) of any kind so we could live. She would sew far into the night with an old sewing machine. She never complained even when the food would be very scarce. She would sew until the early hours of morning.
Things were very bad that particular winter. Then a letter came from where her sewing machine was bought, saying that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought up to date. I remember when she read the letter I became frightened; I could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a child‘s mind. My mother did not appear to be worried, however, and seemed to be quite calm about the matter. I, on the other hand, cried myself to sleep, wondering what would become of our family. Mother said God would not disappoint her, that he never had. I couldn‘t see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine.
The day when the men came for our machine arrived. There was a knock at the kitchen door. I was frightened as a child would be, for I was sure it was those men who would take away our sewing machine. Instead, a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.
He asked my mother if she was Mrs. Hill. When she said she was, he said, "I‘m in trouble this morning and you have been recommended by the druggist and grocer down the street as an honest and wonderful woman. My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning, and since we have no relatives here, and I must open my dentist office, I have nowhere to leave my baby. Could you possibly take care of her for a few days?" He continued, "I will pay you in advance." With this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.
Mother said, "Yes, yes, I will be glad to do so," and took the baby from his arms. When the man left, my mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was shining on it. She said, "I knew God would never let them take away my machine."

23、A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has shown that chronic (长期的) stress of being poor, lacking care and physical abuse in early life may shrink the parts of a child' s developing brain responsible for memory, learning and processing emotion.
While early life stress already has been linked to anxiety, heart disease,cancer and a lack of educational and employment success,researchers have long been seeking to understand what part of the brain is affected by stress so as to help guide interventions(干预).
Seth Pollak, co-leader of the study and a UW professor of psychology,says the research focused on two brain areas—the hippocampus (HC:海马体) and amygdale (AG: 杏仁体).
For the study, Pollack’s team had 128 children around age 12 and divided them into four groups after interviews with the children and their caregivers,documenting behavioral problems and their accumulated life stress.
One group had experienced physical abuse,another group was ignored before being adopted from a foreign country, and a third group came from low-income families. The fourth group of children came from middle-class families and had not experienced any of the three types of chronic early stress.
Researchers did MRI scans (核磁共振扫描) of the children' s brains, focusing on the HC and AG. Then they painstakingly tracked those areas of the brain by hand on paper.
The hand measurements showed that children who had experienced poverty, neglect or physical abuse had a smaller AC and HC than the children from middle-class families.
"I think we added something solid to the literature," he said. "Our research may inform social policy and professional interventions to help the children who are suffering."
【1】The research shows that .
A. long-term poverty ruins one' s memory
B. early stress hurts the development of brain
C. early life plays a vital role in one' s life
D. physical abuse affects a child' s learning competence
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A. HC and AG are involved in memory, learning and processing emotion.
B. The final goal of the research is to find out what is affected by stress.
C. Pollack's team has already known how the brain is affected.
D. Children in the four groups all suffer a lot in their life.
【3】How can the research help the children related?
A. By developing new medicine.m"
B. By creating a better living environment.
C. By giving processional medical care for the children.
D. By offering advice on policy making and professional assistance.
24、Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, on July 21st, 1899. Influenced by his father, he enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting at his early age. In 1917, after graduation from high school, Hemingway began his writing career with The Kansas City Star. And then, after being rejected for army service in World War I because of poor vision, he volunteered to serve as a driver for an American ambulance unit in France. In 1918, he transferred to duty on the Italian front, where he was seriously wounded in an explosion. After his recovery, he returned home. He worked for The Toronto star, covered the Greco-Turkish war as a foreign reporter, and then returned to Paris, which was a city full of intellectual life, creativity, and genius after the war. In Paris, where he accomplished a revolution in literary style and language, his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, appeared in 1923, and was followed by a short story collection In Our Time, which marked his entry to American literature in 1925.
Hemingway’s status as a remarkable writer of his time was confirmed with the publication of A Farewell to Arms in 1929. The novel represented a farewell both for war and for love. In 1937, he became a foreign reporter covering the Spanish Civil war. Three years later, he published For Whom the Bell Tolls. Set in Spain during the Civil war, the novel restated his view of love found and lost and described the tough spirit of the common people. In 1912, the same judgment was reflected in his portrait of fisherman, Santiago, with an indomitable spirit in defeat, in The Old Man and the Sea, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. With one of the most important influences on the development of the American short story and novel, Hemingway has seized the imagination of the American public like no other twentieth-century author. He died by suicide, in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1961.
