26、The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

【1】The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___

A. share family responsibility   B. cause trouble in their families

C. go boating with their family   D. make family decisions

【2】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents___.

A. go to clubs more often with their children   B. are much stricter with their children

C. care less about their children’s life   D. give their children more freedom

【3】Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?

A. Discussion in family.   B. Teenage education in family.

C. Harmony in family.   D. Teenage trouble in family.

27、Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like your brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very annoying thing. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments. Read on for some techniques worth trying.

▲【1】People who regularly made plans and looked forward to the coming events had a fifty percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病), according to a recent study. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events. 【2】 There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to be better.

▲【3】 Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories, but physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. That’s because exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

▲【4】 Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. Studies have found that mental stimulation(刺激) limits the weakening of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.

▲【5】 In one study, people were shown images presented with or without a smell and were found to be able to remember the images with a smell better than those without. In practice, this means using mindfulness techniques to notice the sights, smells, tastes, feelings and sounds around you to help remember the event more clearly later.

A．Go for a walk.

B．Focus on the future.

C．Learn something new.

D．Make use of all of your senses.

E．So spend a few minutes each day jogging.

F．This can be especially harmful to the aged people.

G．It can simply be a weekly coffee date with a friend.

28、Eating a diet high in processed (加工的) food increases the risk of depression (沮丧抑郁), research suggests. What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.

Data on diet among 3, 500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants (参与者) into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high fat dairy products. After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.

Those who ate the most whole food had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least whole food. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.

Study author Dr Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.

“There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood (可能性) of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.”

Dr Andrew Mcculloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, "this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.”

He added people’s diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated (含饱合脂肪酸的) fats and sugars.

【1】The text is mainly about ________.

A．the increasingly unhealthy diet of the UK population

B．the link between processed food and depression

C．the relationship between physical and mental heal

D．a healthy diet largely based on whole food

【2】What do we know about the participants?

A．They are of different ages from young to old.

B．They have been eating a less healthy diet these years.

C．Most of them prefer whole food to processed food.

D．Those who ate whole food generally were happier in the long term.

【3】What can we learn from what Dr Archana SinghManoux said?

A．It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.

B．The Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world.

C．Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.

D．The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.

【4】Dr Andrew McCulloch agrees that ________.

A．our diets are closely related to our mental health

B．the present study needs more facts and other information

C．the UK population will become ill in the near future

D．more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in

【5】Why might the author have written this text?

A．To tell people what a healthy diet actually is.

B．To prove people's diets are increasingly unhealthy.

C．To encourage people to cut down processed food.

D．To introduce some experts on the research team.

29、   Even as e-readers become common, nothing will ever compete with a good old-fashioned book. Explore some amazing bookstores and libraries around the world that make reading a truly artful experience.

Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen

The Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen in Maastricht, the Netherlands, is a bookstore built in a church. Instead of allowing this old Gotliic church to fall into disrepair, it was  purchased by a bookseller and restored to its original glory. It might be the world’s most beautiful bookstore. The walls, arches and ceilings of  the original building are restored, while the bookstore rises from its center.

El Ateneo Grand Splendid

A historical theater in Buenos Aires is now one of the city’s most exciting bookstores, the El Ateneo Grand Splendid. While it no longer houses performances of Argentina’s national dance, the tango, it is now home to thousands of books. The character of the original architecture remains while the red theater curtains still hang at stage left and right. It keeps a strong sense of Argentina’s history while still selling culture, book-by-book.

Liyuan Library

In a village outside of Beijing, China, a small library hides amongst the trees in a quiet setting. The Liyuan Library is wrapped in recycled branches. Indoors, three levels of books and reading spaces are available for the occasional guests. Perhaps the most impressive thing is the open design that allows in light from nearby every direction.

A47 Mobile Library

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a missing word according to the text.

The benefits of a degree are not obvious to people who live on this remote island. Families have a【1】 lifestyle, hunting walruses, whales and other sea animals in the spring, and gathering berries in the summer. The largest employer is the school system; 【2】, there are only a handful of jobs in fishing, oil and the airlines that connect the island to the mainland. There isn’t much demand for anything else and more than a quarter of adults are 【3】.

Today two villages remain with a population of just 1,400. People there are used to the 【4】landscape and climate—in the summer, fields of grassy frozen ground 【5】 from snow-capped mountain ranges to the stony shorelines, but in the winter the sun disappears, there is a lot of snow, and polar bears arrive on ice floes. Leaving the island is not an option, as a ticket on a bush plane costs $400, a week’s earnings for many islanders. The sense of 【6】is strong. When a whale is killed, the houses and school empty as everyone races to the beach to take a share of the meat.
