After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we plained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started ing in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve（阀门） sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didnt look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didnt offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking petition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup!21Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgins chicken house regularly?A. To set a good example to us.B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell.D. To earn some money for the family.22What can we infer about Dads stew?A. It tastes quite good. B. It looks very wonderful.C. It is popular among the neighbors. D. It contains honey and vegetables23What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?A. To attract. B. To upset. C. To air. D. To shut.24What can we learn about Dad from the text?A. He has a positive attitude to life. B. He is an experienced cook. C. He is a troublesome father. D. He suffers a lot from his disabilityBIt used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan-a character from James Matthew Barries 1911 book-said: “All children, except one, grow up.” But this “fact” doesnt seem to apply to todays world anymore.According to the NPD Group, a US market research pany, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in xx, three times the pace of the childrens toy market itself. These toys varied from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials-people born between the 1980s and xxs.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” mented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes looked to as “kidults”.According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of todays fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve.“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Wilmer, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both fort and pleasure.Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are seeking “the excitement of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “Thats actually quite sad.”But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian ic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “Its just pop culture stuff. Its stuff that says, I like a little of this and I like a little of that,” he told ABC News. “Its no big deal.”So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps its time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline(标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的), but growing up is optional.”25. Why does the author mention Peter Pan in Paragraph 1?A. To tell the similarities Peter Pan and millennials shareB. To introduce the trend of millennials love for toysC. To explain why many millennials bee kidultsD. To show the influence of his book26What does Paragraph 2 imply?A. Its not easy for some children to grow up in todays world.B. Many adults still have some childlike characteristics.C. All children will grow up as they bee adults.D. Old things are not suitable for todays world.27Why do many adults collect toys according to Frederique Tutt?A. They usually dont get along well in their lives and need an emotional outlet.B. They want to make up for the pleasures they missed during childhood.C. They consider it a way to relieve stress.D. It is a way of getting promotion.28What is the authors attitude towards the trend of growing kidults?A. Concerned B. Doubtful C. Neutral D. Negative CEnough “meaningless drivel” Thats the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of mons Science and Technology mittees report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long inprehensible legal contracts（合同） and calls for an international standard or Kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to what is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the mittee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a Kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer（监管） the scheme（计划）, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a Kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information, but what would happen in practice is another matter,” he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still dont know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that e back and bite them in 20 years time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the mittee, says the problem is that we dont know how panies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have bee valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people dont expect, even if users have apparently given permission, show that the current situation isnt working. If properly administered, a Kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to, although they would still have to actually read them.29. What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in Paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.B. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.C. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.D. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.30. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the Kitemark schemeB. the Kitemark would help panies develop their business models C. people would pay as much attention to a Kitemark as they think D. a Kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale31. The writer advises users of social media to _.A. avoid providing too much personal information B. take no further action if they can find a Kitemark C. read the terms and conditions even if there is a KitemarkD. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites32. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Administration Matters! B. Accept without Reading? C. Say No to Social Media? D. New Security Rules in Operation?

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. _36_Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. _37_Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an oute; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result._38_ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your mon sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. _39_ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术)._40_ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.
