27、   People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program, the more they eat, according to a new research.

It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Hirsch explored the effect of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.

Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late- night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were also given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsh found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.

“If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you’ll eat less because you’ll feel full faster,” Hirsch said in an interview all the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Toronto. “So if that’s the case, let’s look at the opposite. What if you’re distracted? If you’re distracted, in theory then , eat more.”

Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation, which typically results in weight gain became the brain does not know when it should stop eating.

The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(丘脑下部)where the so-called satiety (饱足)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full. If it is stopped tricked the result can be changed in eating patterns, he said,“People who cook spaghetti all day don’t feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day,” said Hirsch. “By being exposed to a smell all day long it’s tricking the hypothalamus.”

Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory taste and smell, in addition to internal body changes, signal satiety. But when distracted, a person does not pay attention to either the body’s sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.

Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. “If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring,” Hirsch said.

【1】What does the underlined word “glued to” in Para. l mean?

A.away from B.performing in C.close to D.lost in

【2】How did Hirsch carry out the research?

A.By watching people eat. B.By interviewing people.

C.By counting how many chips people eat. D.By observing how people watch television.

【3】What do Hirsch’s words in Para.6 mean?

A.They think spaghetti unhealthy. B.They have smelt spaghetti enough.

C.They don’t like eating spaghetti. D.Spaghetti has affected the hypothalamus.

【4】What do we know from Hirsch’s study?

A.Inactivity is likely to make people fat.

B.Entertaining shows are the main causes of obesity.

C.The more concentration on food taste, the less you’ll eat.

D.The ventromedial nucleus can tell whether one is hungry or full.

【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.People eat more when watching TV. B.It is not good for our health to eat chips.

C.People enjoy eating while watching TV. D.How people can enjoy the TV programs.

28、   In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 【1】. Leave. Go.

After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.

I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 【2】. But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 【3】. Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.

【4】.

And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.

I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.

More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 【5】. Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.

A. I want to do the opposite

B. Understood the difference in social atmosphere.

C. Get well prepared for your future.

D. I did love my time there.

E. Young people can’t go back to their towns.

F. It was like small town America didn’t exist.

G. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.

29、   Keeping your heart healthy is simple when you do enough exercise, stress less, watch your weight and so on. Putting those goals into action, of course, isn’t so simple. How can you put them into daily practice? 【1】

● Spare time to play. Make exercise playtime and you’re more likely to get it done. Play kickball, or walk the dog. 【2】 For example, aim for a 10-minute morning walk, practice at lunch, and some digging in the garden before dinner, and you’ll meet your goals.

● 【3】 Doing nothing to stay away from pressure can be a big part of keeping your heart healthy. Be sure to relax yourself daily. Spare time for yourself regularly. Walk away from the computer, the phone and other electronic equipment. Make time to recharge your batteries, to find both energy and calm.

● Work toward a healthy body weight. Gaining weight is a threat for most Americans in the world of cheap and convenient foods. 【4】 Now the good news-losing even a few pounds starts you on the road to a healthier heart.

● Schedule check-ups. Regular blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) checks, as well as physical examinations, are important to keep your heart healthy. Two conditions that can hurt your heart — high blood pressure and high cholesterol — they are “silent” killers. That means you won’t know you have them unless you get a physical examination. 【5】

A. Reduce pressure.

B. Spare time to stay with friends.

C. Here are some practical advice to help you strengthen your heart.

D. Ask your doctor how often you need a heart check-up and decide the next one.

E. Go for a total of at least 30 minutes of exercise daily and break it up if you like.

F. And losing some pounds raises the risk of a heart attack and high blood pressure.

G. A balanced diet and regular exercise are playing an important role in losing weight.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
