21、Science shows that stretching isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. 【1】. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?
⚫ You could feel sick
You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. 【2】, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”
“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. 【3】. ”
⚫ Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore
When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory response in the form of lactic acid, which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid? 【4】. Stretching helps your distribute oxygen throughout your body and muscles, which, according the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid. ”
⚫ 【5】
Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A.You’ll be at risk of injury
B.You guessed it: Stretching
C.While it’s great to get that blood flowing
D.You have to improve your flexibility by stretching
E.If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day
F.A cooldown after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode
G.In fact, the true purpose of stretching is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle
22、 While studying at Jadavpur University, Banerjee wanted to find a creative and socially beneficial alternative to bricks. Along with his classmates, Banerjee created, a social enterprise called Qube in 2017. Its product is the Plastiqube-an alternative brick made from waste plastic.
Banerjee and his team work with waste collectors to gather garbage, including water bottles and abandoned bags. The garbage is then cleaned, cut up and pressed into blocks by hand. “Each Plastiqube brick costs 5 to 6 rupees (about 8 cents) to make,while the average clay brick sells for about 10 rupees (14 cents),” Banerjee says. What 's more, unlike traditional bricks, Plastiqubes don' t use any mortar (砂浆). “They are basically like Lego bricks,” explains Banerjee, now aged 22. He adds,“There are interlocking designs on the bottom and the top, and they lock between each other.
India is estimated to throw away over 25, 000 tons of plastic waste every day. Around 40% of it is left uncollected. “We’re building something sustainable (可持续的) out of garbage,” Banerjee says. By taking coal and mortar out of the brick making process, Banerjee claims Plastiqubes can reduce energy use by 70 percent, generating a much lower carbon foot-print than traditional bricks.
Each Plastiqube brick contains 1.6 kilograms of waste plastic. They haven't yet been tried out for practical purpose but tests on their fire resistance and long- term steadiness are now in progress. Banerjee believes they will last even longer than traditional clay bricks, while removing waste plastic from the environment for centuries.
Banerjee's innovation has, already won him recognition. He was a regional finalist for the United Nation's 2018 Young Champions of the Earth awards. He is also part of the Yunus and Yunus Global Fellowship. Banerjee will not only encourage young engineers to dream big, but also to think carefully about the environmental impact. “My advice is to start something while keeping a goal that it has to be sustainable in the long term,” he says.
【1】Why did Banerjee invent Plastiqube ?
A.To reduce the cost of bricks. B.To protect the environment.
C.To control the usage of mortar. D.To raise his company 's reputation.
【2】Which of the following makes the new bricks join together?
A.Mortar. B.Lego bricks.
C.Average clay. D.Interlocking design.
【3】How does the text describe the characters of Plastiqube?
A.By explaining the process. B.By analyzing some cases.
C.By listing some data. D.By giving examples.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.Banerjee has won lots of national awards.
B.Producing Plastiqube needs little labor force.
C.Plastiqube hasn't been used to build houses.
D.Banerjee likes inspiring teenagers to go for dreams.
23、 In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路;州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 – as the road is called – is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will be able to go above it.
To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge,Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.
The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges,and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.
A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (经济)about $ 8 billion. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.
Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey — Darda of the U. S. Forest Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade. ” she adds.
【1】What do we know about die I -90?
A. It goes from Washington D.C to Seattle,
B. It is dangerous for wild animals to cross.
C. It blocks the movements of wild animals.
D. It is the longest - ever highway in the world.
【2】What is being done to help the animals?
A. Building a wildlife bridge to keep drivers and animals away.
B. Designing walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.
C. forming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.
D. Choosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.
【3】What can we learn from the study?
A. Traffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.
B. Most money was spent in rescuing wild animals,
C. Collisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,
D. Some species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.
【4】Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?
A. The bridge costs too much money.
B. Animals won11 be struck by drivers.
C. The effort to build the bridge will pay off.
D. Collisions won't affect national trade at all.
24、 COURTESY PAUL BOZYMOWSKI-Three New York City police officers paid for a woman’s groceries rather than arresting her.
As temperatures approached 90 degrees in New York City last July 4th, three police officers ducked into a Whole Foods Market to get something cold to drink. What they walked into was a heated human drama.
Once inside, the cops, Lt. Louis Sojo and Officers Esanidy Cuevas and Michael Rivera, were approached by a store security guard who asked for help with a suspected shoplifter. The woman in question didn’t have the look of a career criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with tears.
The cops peeked inside her bag. “All we saw was containers of food.” Cuevas told CBS New York.
"I’m hungry," she explained quietly.
Caught red-handed, the woman no doubt expected to be sentenced to jail for the crime of being hungry while poor. But the cops had other ideas. “We’ll pay for her food,” Sojo told the surprised security guard.
There’d been no discussion among the three men. It went unsaid. Instead, they picked up the woman’s bag and accompanied her to a cash register, where each took out $10 to pay the tab. She would not be arrested today.
All the woman could do was weep in gratitude. Covering her face with a kerchief and drying her eyes, she repeated, “Thank you, thank you.”
She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of mercy. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.
But attention was never what the officers sought. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN, “When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this.”

A.She had stolen in the shop several times before.
B.She was caught on the spot by three police officers.
C.She was found innocent and would not be arrested.
