Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits(特点).Two of these traits，known as negative urgency and 1ack of perseverance，were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI(身体质量指数)during the study. Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotionsSome people might drink alcohol or take drugsFor others，it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasksPeople with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior，which could also cause obesity “Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight，”said DrAshley Gearhardt，a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people“We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Sca1e，should be related to helping control impulsive action，”said Gearhardt Clinical psychologist DrJames MacKillop，whose lab was conducting the study，believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits “Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious thing，Which are clearly diet and exercise,”MacKillop said.“It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily”25According to Paragraph 1，the result of food addiction is_Aless healthy weight Bmotivation to lose weightCnegative emotions Dtaking alcohol or drugs26How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?ABy making parisons and conclusions BBy explaining causes and effectsCBy presenting questions and answersDBy giving definitions and examples27What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?AIt has been successfully carried out among overweight peopleBIt might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight CIt will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people DIt is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior28Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ADopamine release Caused by food addictionBFood addiction pared to drug useCImpulsive personality linked to food addition DFood addiction contributing to obesityCIf a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept? How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping? Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer“yes”to these questions to launch his own startup(新兴公司)，StashbeeHis business links people with space to those who need it And its just one player in the booming“sharing economy”，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spacesAirbnb，a pany valued at 200bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-termDogVacay pairs holidaymaking pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by xxAll their business models revolve around one simple word：trustSo，how does Stashbee measure up? BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himselfHe had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two monthsAll relatively smooth and painless Heavyweights(行业巨头)in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，arent convincedA representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with“amateurs”He considered 247(全天候)access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service.Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overing a distrust of strangers weve been taught since childhood. They arent alonepanies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudesAnd the concept of social storage doesnt stop thereCityStasher believe theres a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of timeWould you try it out? Its a question of trust29The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the text to_.Aexpect readers to answer them Bcarry out a survey among readersCstart a conversation among readers Ddraw readers attention to the topic30How does Dougal Shaw try out Stashbees business?AExperiencing in person BDoing a survey onlineCAnalyzing some data DExchanging his belongings.31What does the traditional storage industry value most?ATrust BSecurityCCostDProfessional knowledge32What can we infer from the text?ATrust is not well built in childhood educationBThe new startup isnt concerned about securityCNo pany follows the business model of StashbeeDConsumer attitudes have changed greatly over timeDThere are two great trends on parents bringing up children todayFirst，children are now praised to an unbelievable degreeAs Dorothy Parker once joked，American children arent raised；they are motivatedChildren are constantly told how special they areThe second is that children are honed(磨砺)to an unimaginable degreeParents spend much more time than in past generations on their childrens developmentThese two great trendsgreater praise and greater honingbine in close ways. Parents shower their kids with affection ，but it is intermingled with the desire to help their children achieve successParents are happy when their child studies hard，practices hard，wins first place，gets into a famous collegeThe wolf of conditional love is hidden in these homesThe parents feel they love their children in all circumstancesBut the children often think differentlyThey feel that childhood is a performanceon the athletic field，in school and beyondThe shadowy presence of conditional love produces a fear，the fear that there is no pletely safe love Meanwhile，children who are uncertain of their parents love develop a great hunger for it. This conditional love is1ike an acid that affects childrens criteria to make their own decisions about their own colleges，majors and careersAt key decision-points，they unconsciously imagine how their parents will react These children tell their parents those things that will bring praise and hide the parts of their lives that wont. Studies suggest that children who receive conditional love often do better in the short runThey can be model studentsBut they suffer in the long run. They e to hate their parentsThey are so influenced by fear that they bee afraid of risk Parents today are less likely to demand obedience(顺从)with explicit rules and lecturesBut they are more likely to use love as a tool to exercise control. But parental love is supposed to ignore achievement.Its meant to be an unconditional support -a gift that can not be bought and cannot be earned33What does the underlined word“intermingled”in Paragraph 2 mean?
