15.While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still-Munchery instead of walking to lunch,Uber instead of walking to the bus stop-services to make you move have been less appealing for consumers.
Fitbit's stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force.And new data suggests that,for the first time,death rates for large parts of the American population are rising,with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons.Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives,wellness firms want us to believe.
Northrup,president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness,was in Las Vegas to promote TAO's small device that encourages exercises.He lifts the device,about the size of an apple,and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise.
Nick Mokey,the managing editor of Digital Trends,agrees."I hate to break it to you,a room full of people sitting down,but sitting is killing you,"he says to the audience.They shift in their seats.
In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall,people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness.They say they're the largest seller of treadmill(跑步機) desks in the US.At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk,which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table.That's for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation.
Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle,they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building,neither tends to get used.If the company installs two next to each other,people will use them."You don't want to be so noticeable,especially at work,"company spokesman James Lowe says.What's more,what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office?

32.According to new data,the rising death rates in America are caused byA.
A.lack of exercise        B.serious pollution
C.high work pressure     D.poor indoor environment
33.What can we learn about the device TAO-Wellness?B
A.It is a kind of treadmill desk.B.It is comparatively small in size
C.It is created by LifeSpan Fitness.D.It is designed for outdoor exercise.
34.Which of the following may cause more sitting?D
A.TAO-Wellness.B.Fitbit Force.C.Bike Desk.D.Munchery
35.What is the biggest problem with the treadmill desk?C
A.It takes up too much space.B.It is not comfortable to use
C.It may cause awkwardness    D.It will make employees tired.

分析 美國人的死亡率上升與不運動有著很大的關系.本文介紹了幾個健身設備.

解答 32.A 細節(jié)理解題.由第二段death rates for large parts of the American population are rising,with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons可知,美國人的死亡率上升和缺乏鍛煉,體重上升有關,故選A.
33.B 細節(jié)理解題.由第三段He lifts the device,about the size of an apple可知,它很小,只有蘋果那么大,故選B.
34.D 細節(jié)理解題.由第一段While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still-Munchery instead of walking to lunch,可知訂餐平臺Munchery讓人們不走路吃飯,故選D.
35.C 推理判斷題.由最后一段Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle可知這個產品最大的問題是引起尷尬,故選C.

3.A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents,social workers,psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion,those of children are known to be particularly influenced,said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.
Previous research,for example,has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked,say"Did you drink juice at the picnic?"the child is likely to say"yes"even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is consciously lying,but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem,social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions,such as"What did you have at the picnic?"But an open-ended question paired with a gesture,briefly meaning a juice box,is treated like a detailed question.That is,children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn't just a few kids:77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users,such as little kids,Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases."It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children."
In general,Broaders advises parents and other adults to"try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise,you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened."
32.According to the text,gesturesC.
A.have not any function at all
B.are rarely used by people
C.have certain effect on children
D.are often used by social workers
33.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?B
A.These gestures are very attractive.
B.Their memories are affected easily.
C.Children are easy to tell lies.
D.these gestures are used frequently.
34.According to the text,which of the following questions may cause a wrong reply?B
A.What will you have for lunch?
B.Did you cheat in the last English examination?
C.Where are you going Lucy?
D.Did you see anything else last night?
35.The underlined word"impart"in Paragraph 6meansD.
A.separate
B.tell apart
C.confuse
D.pass on.

20.We can have conflicts with our important persons like friends,relatives,workmates,etc.But the conflicts doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship will be destroyed.In fact,sometimes conflict helps people to let out their silent feelings,allowing them to free their suppressed emotions.However,when in a conflict,we usually get angry and say or do things which aren't linked to the problem at hand.Therefore,it is important that we should try to avoid conflicts through effective communication.
In a heated argument,we usually say things that aren't related to the real problem,and even use rude words to make sure we gain an advantage over the other person.Then the whole situation goes badly.So we should separate(隔離) the root cause of the problem and build our discussion around it.This ensures that there are no rude remarks and  the situation moves in a positive direction.
It's easy for us to think we're right and if something isn't working out,it surely must be someone else's fault.However,if you aim to solve a conflict,first of all,you should show some respect and allow the other party to express themselves.Using remarks like,"I understand your concern on this"or"I know you're right at your end",would make the other person feel more appreciated.
Sometimes some people get too excited and may behave in the wrong way or say something others may not appreciate.This can cause a worse situation.Actually,they should control their emotions and keep calm.This has to be learned through self-control and observing behavior of other people.
The tips mentioned above are useful for most situations.However,we don't rule out the possibility that there are some people always want to create some sort of trouble for others.You can tell them from others,and putting in an effort to resolve a conflict with them may just not be a wise idea.The best way to deal with these people is to forget them.A famous saying can help you and that is:"You should never fight with a pig; you both get dirty and only the pig likes it."

24.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A
A.Conflicts may help us deal with our emotions.
B.Conflicts can improve our relations with others greatly.
C.Effective communication can help us avoid conflicts undoubtedly.
D.The closer two friends are,the more conflicts are between them.
25.When making discussions to solve conflicts,we shouldD.
A.know others'personal quality
B.know others'ability of expression
C.avoid showing our disadvantages
D.avoid the root cause of the problem
26.The author suggests that when people get too excited,they shouldC
A.behave like other people     B.control the situation
C.learn to keep their head       D.say something unconcerned
27.In the author's opinion,how should you deal with those who always want to create trouble for you?
B
A.Fight with them.B.Ignore them.C.Have a talk with them.D.Give them something they like.

7.The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩)in the world just got the best surprise-a hug from a new friend.Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread-the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.
For those who know Ponso's backstory,his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising.Ponso was one of 20chimps,all between the ages of 7to 11years old,relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre.After the tests were completed in 2005,the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands,occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps'new homes.
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing.But at the end of 2013they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone.
A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already achieving its goal of 20,000-allofwhichwillbeusedforPonso'scare.

32.What do we know about the chimp Ponso?D
A.He was deserted by his family.
B.He found many sources of food.
C.He came to the island for a test.
D.He suffers from loneliness greatly.
33.How did Ponso feel about the visit of Estelle Raballand?A
A.Excited.    B.Frightened.    C.Embarrassed.        D.Confused.
34.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?B
A.The chimps'new settlement.
B.How Ponso came to the island.
C.Why Ponso was used for a test.
D.The medical test about chimps.
35.What can be inferred from the text?C
A.Germain won't visit Ponso any more.
B.A new lab will be built on the island.
C.Many people show concern for Ponso.
D.More chimps will be brought to the island.
