Like many people, I've spent much of my life trying various diets and methods of losing weight,
some quick and painless, others slow and tiring, most of them including the so-called “cheat day”.
The principle of the cheat day is simple: After going on a diet throughout a week or a month,
you can eat anything you like on that day. The day makes all my eating and drinking not only
satisfactory but acceptable. After all, I deserve it.
However, the problem for me was that cheat days were never quite that. Either they became
happy cheat weeks, cheat months and sometimes cheat years, or they filled me with anxiety of going
off-track so that I couldn't truly enjoy them. Using food as a reward only perpetuated my unhealthy
relationship with food, and it troubled me in my approach to health.
After struggling for a couple of months, I came to realize the true colors of the cheat day. It
goes to extremes - none or all. Also, cheat days imply that foods can be divided into “good” and
“bad”. That's why I felt guilty when I had a piece of cake for breakfast instead of fat-free milk. But
food, in fact, has no moral(道德的)value. It is simply intended to fill your body and provide
nutrition. Hopefully it tastes good, too.
This simple thought has inspired me to quit cheat days. 1 don't feel worried or ashamed any
more and start to reconsider my relationship with food. I just pay more attention to the signs of my
stomach, and eat what I desire while being mindful of the heath results. Doing away with cheat days
lightens my mind and improves my relationship with food.
24. What do people do on a “cheat day”?
A. Tell lies.
B. Eat what they like.
C. Go on a diet.
D. Try gaining weight.
25. What does the underlined word “perpetuated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ruined.
B. Continued.
C. Repaired.
D. Improved.
26. What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. A healthy relationship with food maters.
B. One needn't feel guilty about eating
C. “Cheat day” is effective in nutrition control.
D. Losing weight does harm physically and mentally
C
We know that carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change, so the more that can be taken
out of the atmosphere by plants, the better. With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing
season, some scientists have suggested that more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees. But a
new study has turned this theory on its head.
The researchers, led by Deborah Zani at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, studied
certain tree species and recorded how much carbon each tree absorbed per season. With data from
other projects, the researchers found as the rate of photosynthesis ( 光合作用) increased with
warmer climate, leaves changed color and fell earlier in the year.
Climate-controlled experiments show what could be behind this unexpected result. In the trials,
the trees were exposed to full sun, half shade or full shade. The results show there’s a limit to the
amount of photosynthesis that a tree can carry out over a growing season and that certain trees can
only absorb a set amount of carbon each year. Think of it like filling a bucket with water. It can be
done slowly or quickly, but once the bucket is full, there’s nowhere for any more water to go.
Once that limit is reached, leaves begin to change color. The limit is set by the availability of
nutrients, particularly nitrogen, which is a key nutrient that plants need to grow. The amount of
available nitrogen often limits total growth. That’s why farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizer.
These new findings have significant implications (启示) for climate change modelling. If we accept
that warmer weather and longer growing seasons won’t allow trees to take up more carbon dioxide,
carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than previously expected. The only way to
change this will be to increase the capacity (容纳能力) of trees to absorb carbon.
27. What does the new study suggest?
A. More carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees.
B. Global warming shortens the growing season of plants.
C. The amount of carbon dioxide decides the photosynthesis.
D. Warmer climate may cause leaves to change color earlier.
28. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By analyzing collected data.
B. By measuring temperature.
C. By observing changes of shade.
D. By modelling climate change.
29. The example in paragraph 3 helps readers understand
A. the ways to fill in a bucket.
B. the process of controlling climate.
C. the limitation of carbon absorption.
D. the importance of sunlight exposure.
30. Why do the farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizers?
A. To stop total growth of plants.
B. To change the shape of plants.
C. To slow the rate of photosynthesis.
D. To overcome plant growth limitation.

Fireworks are one of many Americans favorites. While it's safer to leave the show to the

Fireworks can cause serious burns and injuries, even death. It's extremely important that you do

read the instructions carefully so you know what each firework will do. Some, like fountains, sit on
the ground and shoot sparks into the air 33 These are less predictable and more likely to
function improperly.
Once it's time to set off the fireworks, follow these steps to stay safe: Never give fireworks to
children. Always have a responsible adult keep an eye on activities. Light fireworks in a clear
outdoor area. Never relight a firework that doesn’t go off. After fireworks are done burning, douse
( 浸 ) them in water. 34
Remember your pets. They’re often afraid of the noises fireworks make, Don't take your pets
to a fireworks display. This includes small displays or neighborhood gatherings. 35 If it gets scared
and runs off during a fireworks display, it will be easier to find with them.
