When men get together，they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts．However，they talk about a lot，like their newest computer，how to repair their car，or even business.

Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women，jump to computer games，then continue to the sport of the season．They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting(吹牛)．Men seldom call each other to chat.

When man meets woman，he usually wants to make a good impression．Many single men try hard to carry on amusing，fun，and pleasant conversations．They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.

Some men，either out of nervousness or ignorance，spend most of the time talking about themselves，often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work．Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.

When women get together，they talk about feelings and relationships，their work and their family．They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk， then listen. Women often call each other to chat．Conversation is an important part of most women's lives.

As relationships progress，however，many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk．This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says，“You never talk to me anymore．”Some men start talking．Many，however，mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.

When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects：feelings，family，relationships，friends and her work，many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves．Pretty soon，the man is back to staring at the television each night，wondering where his relationship has gone．The woman is talking to her friends，mom，sister，or neighbor，often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.

A glass a day keeps obesity at bay. Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says,“Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.”The Inter national Scientific Forum on Alcohol reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物學(xué)機(jī)制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), which related to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stores in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, destroy fat cells.

1.Who is the passage intended for?

A. Those who produce wine.

B. Those who have drinking habit.

C. Those who sell alcohol.

D. Those who wish to quit drinking.

2.What does the phrase“in moderation”in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Excitedly. B. Carefully. C. Properly. D. Frequently.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increase weight.

B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

D. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. How to do some easy experiments.

B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

C. How to make wine in a healthy way.

D. How to prove the finding mentioned above.

EVERYONE’S talking about it in American high schools. Whether they are hip-hop fans or just students or just students or teachers who listen to good music of any genre(類型), they all have one thing in common: an obsession with Hamilton, a hip-hop musical about the forgotten founding father of the United States on the $10 bill. What makes this musical so different from all the other ones？

“Everybody is so excited about it.” Mark Madama, associate professor of musical theater at the University of Michigan, said, “It is something for the students. Hip-hop music is what they listen to when they are walking down the street and all of a sudden, now that is also the music that is in musical theater.”

The full title of the show is Hamilton: An American Musical, and it tells the stories of Alexander Hamilton’s life: from a homeless orphan to Washington’s right hand man(得力助手), from an unknown to war hero. The idea of a Broadway musical about a founding father with hip-hop music has gotten enough attention on its own.

One of the most amazing details of this phenomenon is that most of the students have never even seen it. Nazareth High School junior Maddy Schierl has never seen the show live but said she still relates to it deeply. “There is so much emotion in the music that I feel like I have experienced the show’s essence(本質(zhì))without even having to see it,” Schierl said.

Students and teachers are finding other ways to fall in love with Hamilton, whether they do it through listening to its music, watching short videos on YouTube or even studying it in the classroom. Katja Stonebraker, who teaches AP US history at Cary-Grove High School, described the musical as “ a teacher’s dream”, Stonebraker plans to use Hamilton more in the future because of the interesting perspective it tells Hamilton’s story from.

“ You see these old dead guys, and they are who you have to memorize and learn,” Stonebraker said,-But I think Hamilton makes history real and relatable.”

1.The underlined word “obsession” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. strong enthusiasm B. great respect

C. lack of interest D. total surprise

2.Hamilton is a musical that appeals to students because______.

A. its story is closely related to students’ lives today

B. it uses hip-hop, which is very popular among students

C. it has been specially designed to satisfy students’ tastes

D. it tells interesting stories from the life of a founding father of the US

3.The example of Maddy Schierl is used to ______.

A. prove that Hamilton is very popular among students

B give an example of people’s comments about Hamilton

C. explore the controversies behind Hamilton’s popularity

D. show that people can connect to Hamilton without seeing it

4.Which of the following statements would Stonebraker probably agree with?

A. Hamilton tells Hamilton’s story vividly and from a different viewpoint.

B. Hamilton is the best teaching material she has ever used

C. Every student will become more interested in history after seeing Hamilton.

D. There will be more musicals about historical figures in the future.
