    A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

    Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

    The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

    Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

    Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

    While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

    Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

    Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

    1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________.

    A. started sleep more easilyB. were less active

    C. were more anxiousD. woke up later

    2.Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?

    A. It’s used in sleeping drugs.

    B. It exists in milk in great amount.

    C. It can make people more energetic.

    D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.

    3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A. Milk Drinking and Health

    B. Fat, Sugar and Health

    C. An Experiment on Mice

    D. Night Milk and Sleep

    4.How does the author support the theme of the text?

    A. By giving examples.

    B. By providing research results.

    C. By explaining statistical data.

    D. By stating arguments

    Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture (捕捉)and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.

    Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.

    The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.

    Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”

    Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”

    1.According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to ________.

    A. forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot

    B. find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures

    C. find a good way to keep things in their minds

    D. have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology

    2.According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?

    A. To speak it out openly.

    B. To photograph it instantly.

    C. To purchase it directly.

    D. To paint it immediately.

    3.From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ________.

    A. considerate and determined

    B. active and adventurous

    C. creative and thoughtful

    D. sensitive and ambitious

    4.The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

    A. appreciatedB. criticizedC. favoredD. ignored

    We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.

    The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.

    Burd’s strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms(微生物)．If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.

    With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth．Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months．Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control．Sure enough, the plastic exposed(暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.

    The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.

    “Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me．One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags．The answer: not much．So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.

    1.Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because ________.

    A. he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time

    B. he contributed much to environmental protection

    C. he found a new kind of microorganism

    D. he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way

    2.Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ________.

    A. make the live bacteria work better

    B. know which bacteria worked faster

    C. test how effective his method was

    D. control the temperature in the process

    3.Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ________.

    A. plastics can get hot easily

    B. microbes can produce heat themselves

    C. much carbon dioxide is produced

    D. the temperature can be controlled

    4.Daniel Burd got his idea from ________.

    A. his school textbook

    B. the failure of researchers

    C. his everyday work

    D. the practice of other people

    Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness(松脆).

    It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “It’s a general opinion that plane foods aren’t fantastic, but I’m sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting foods, because for some reason, they can’t taste food that strongly—again, it may have something to do with the background noise.”

    In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.

    “We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的) conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt their choice of food for a given environment.”

    Also in the group’s findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.

    1.How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment?

    A. Less salty but crunchier.B. Sweeter and saltier.

    C. Sweeter but less crunchy.D. Less sweet and crunchy.

    2.Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?

    A. Foods become less tasty in space.

    B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.

    C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers’ sense of taste.

    D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.

    3.We can infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph that ________.

    A. the environment influences the food a restaurant sells

    B. the researchers have made an effective conclusion

    C. music will weaken people’s sense of taste while eating

    D. listening to nothing while eating is the best choice

    4. What would be the best title for the text?

    A. The best dinner environment

    B. How to change plane foods

    C. Listening to music while eating

    D. Background noise affects the taste of foods
