26、   Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled to Bolivia. The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.

Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.

At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.

During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.

I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.

The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in the US. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.

【1】Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?

A．He dreams of becoming a doctor.

B．He wants to teach others about the topic.

C．His family members encourage him to do so.

D．He was born with a high risk of heart disease.

【2】Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?

A．Housing, food and cooperation.

B．Diet, activity and rest.

C．Physical work, social life and lifespan.

D．Group size, family history and consumption

【3】What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?

A．Natural sound.

B．Routine activity.

C．Animal behaviour.

D．Natural light.

【4】What might the author advise us to do after his travels in Bolivia?

A．Take in less sugar and salt.

B．Stand less and walk more.

C．Eat white meat instead of red meat.

D．Live in the middle of the community.

27、Reading with a child is a hugely important developmental activity as it helps youngsters learn new words, broadens their knowledge and provides time to bond with loved ones. So scientists wanted to see if parents and children acted differently when they read books together using traditional media compared with electronic device (电子设备).

To find out, the researchers carried out a study on 37 pairs of parents and healthy children between two and three years old. They asked them to read from three different types of media: electronic books with sound effects or animation; a basic electronic book; and a print book.

Researchers found parents and children spoke more when interacting with a paper book rather than a story on an electronic tablet (平板电脑). What’s more, parents used richer language when using print books compared with tablets. But parents were less responsive and children were less engaged with their parents when reading e-books, Munzer said. Dr Tiffany Munzer, coauthor of the study, told Newsweek: “One of the most surprising aspects is that these findings held true even when parents and children read tablet books with few distracting factors, suggesting it might be the actual tablet device that’s contributing to less conversation between parents and children.”

So should parents give up tablets when reading with their children, or is some reading better than none, regardless of the device?

“That isn’t to say there is no benefit to electronic book reading compared with doing nothing, just less compared with print books. Print books are just better for improving rich language from parents and more conversation between parents and children.” Munzer said that parents always know their children best. “So they should feel free to adjust (调整) the reading experience to what they know their children are interested in, even comics and magazines count as reading.”

【1】How many types of media were tested in the research?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【2】Which can best explain the underlined words “distracting factors” in paragraph 3?

A．Things that affect reading.

B．People who help reading.

C．Tools that attract kids.

D．Contents that fit kids.

【3】What does Munzer think of kids’ electronic book reading?

A．Kids can do it at times.

B．There is no benefit at all.

C．It will replace the print book reading.

D．It should be with more conversations.

【4】What should parents do to keep their children’s interest in reading?

A．Buy more e-books.

B．Talk less when reading.

C．Sign up for reading clubs.

D．Make reading experience interesting.

29、Benefits of Reading to a Dog

Here are five great reasons why your kid should read to a dog.

Dogs create a stress-free environment

It's hard to be really stressed(焦虑) around a cozy, friendly dog. Classrooms can be tense for kids who aren't great readers or presenters. 【1】

Your kid won't even know she's building her vocabulary

【2】Without even knowing it, she'll be building her vocabulary, becoming more interested in books and improving her oral skills. Kids may also become more active to read aloud in other settings, as they get better at reading out loud to a dog.

A confidence-booster(增幅器)

Dogs are nonjudgmental. Kids will feel less self-conscious about reading aloud to them rather than, say, a judgmental human being.【3】 .Thus they will be less afraid to read aloud in class.

Dogs like what your kid likes

Wanna talk about video games? Woof! Mermaids? Woof! A favourite cartoon? Woof! Dogs are interested in whatever your kid is interested in.

【4】 They're not going to roll their eyes when your kid reads the Pokemon Go manual to them for the hundredth time. In fact, they'll just woof for more.

Petting a dog reduces stress and can even improve movement skills

Just grooming(梳毛)can help to improve a child's movement skills.

【5】Petting or hugging a dog also provides valuable breaks in reading, which gives children a chance to process what they've just read.

A．It's also been proven to reduce anxiety

B．They'll listen for hours and never get bored

C．Reading to a dog makes the whole situation less stressful

D．Keeping a dog as a pet also improve a child's confidence

E．As kids read to a dog, they feel as if they're in a formal environment.

F．Kids who read out loud to dogs become more confident in their reading skills

G．Reading to a friendly dog is a great way for your child to practice her pronunciation

In 2018, Wu set up a club together with some other retired physics professors and graduates holding a physics PhD, aiming to ______ the real interest of younger generations in a casual, enlightening (启发性的) and fun ______.

“The digital ______, a tendency that older adults are less adept (擅长) at using and hence less likely to use the Internet than younger people, doesn’t ______ these senior scholars at all,” one netizen ______. “They are more diligent in updating their videos than many of their younger peers. I believe it is their passion for ______ knowledge ______ has become their greatest ______.”
