Bags of Love

Last year, I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house, so I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.

To my2.(surprise), I found that she would pack a paper bag full 3. canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and 4. happened simply amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in 5. she distributed it to children.

I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very 6.(friend) with her and even looked up to her as if she 7.(be) their own mother. Then it hit me —why would she not want to tell me about what she was dong? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop 8.(buy) the groceries if I found out?

When she got home, I told her about my discovery. Before she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it 9. secret from me. She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets. For years, my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare. I was 10.(true) impressed by how selfless she was.

In the dry Namib Desert on the west coast of Africa, one type of beetle has found a special way of surviving. When the morning arrives, the Namib Beetle collects water drops on its bumpy(起伏不平的) back, then lets the water roll down into its mouth, allowing it to drink in an area without flowing water.

Shreerang Chhatre wants to use what nature has developed to help the world’s poor. Chhatre is an engineer at MIT who works on fog harvesting, the equipment that, like the beetle, attracts water drops. This way, poor villagers could collect clean water near their homes, instead of spending hours carrying water from distant wells or rivers.

Access to water is a serious global issue. According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, nearly 900 million people worldwide live without safe drinking water. The burden of finding and transporting water falls heavily on women and children. “As a middle-class person, I think it’s terrible that the poor have to spend hours a day walking just to obtain a basic necessity,” Chhatre says.

A fog-harvesting machine consists of a fence-like mesh panel(網(wǎng)狀面板), which attracts drops, connected to containers into which water falls. Chhatre has improved the materials used in these machines. He is continuing his work at MIT Sloan and the Legaturn Center in order to develop a workable business plan for applying fog-harvesting machines.

Interest in fog harvesting dates back to the 1990s, and has increased since new research on the Namib Beetle became famous in 2001. A few technologists saw potential in the concept for people. One Canadian charitable organization, FogQuest, has tested projects in Chile and Guatemala.

But fog harvesting remains in its childhood, technologically and commercially, as Chhatre readily recognizes. “It still faces some open problems,” he says. “But it’s a work in progress.” After all, the water that fills our rivers and lakes comes from air.

1.Which of the following is TRUE of Shreerang Chhatre?

A. He is an African engineer.

B. He is researching on the Namib Beetle.

C. He has made the first fog-harvesting machines to use.

D. He is trying to put fog-harvesting machines to use.

2.Why is Namib Beetle mentioned in the passage?

A. To describe the severe conditions in Namib Desert.

B. To introduce the diversity of species in Namib Desert.

C. To inform how animal nature can be used to benefit people.

D. To raise the awareness of accessing clean drinking water in poor areas.

3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _________.

A. UNICEF B. the beetle

C. fog harvesting D. a Canadian charitable organization

4.The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to ________.

A. stress the importance of saving water

B. show the Namib Beetle’s special way of surviving

C. introduce a new machine for collecting water from air

D. inform people of the serious water problem in Africa

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.1.In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.

One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones（荷爾蒙）between men and women.  2.Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.

3.They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.

4.Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(傾向)to age more slowly then a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 5.

A. However, women, on average, live longer.

B .The biological factor plays an important part.

C. Women are also helped by their female genes.

D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.

G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions.

Kids and food: advice for parents

It is important for parents to know how to help their kids eat healthy. Here are a few easy ways.

Parents control the supply lines.

1. Though kids may keep asking for less nutritious foods, parents should decide which foods are regularly provided in the house. Kids won’t go hungry. They’ll eat what’s available in the fridge at home.

Say goodbye to “clean-plate club”.

2. Lots of parents grew up under the clean-plate rule, but that way doesn’t help kids listen to their own bodies when they are full. When kids feel full, they’re likely to overeat.

3.

Food preferences are developed early in life, so try to offer different kinds of food. Likes and dislikes begin forming even when kids are babies. Parents may need to serve a new food on several different occasions(時(shí)機(jī)) for a child to accept it.

Food is not love.

Find better ways to say “I love you.” When foods are used to reward kids and show love, they may start to turn to food when feeling worried or unhappy. 4.

Kids do as you do.

5. When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example. Choose nutritious food, eat at the table, and don’t forget breakfast.

A. Start them young.

B. Rewrite the kids’ menu.

C. Be a role model and eat healthy yourself.

D. Offer praise and attention instead of food treats.

E. Let kids stop eating when they feel they’ve had enough.

F. You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them.

G. Let kids choose what to eat and how much of it they want.
