7．
Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year．How do you make that happen？Consider putting the habit loop to use．
Here's how it works：
A habit is a 3-step process．First，there's a cue，something that tells your brain to operate automatically．Then there's a routine．And finally，a reward，which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior．It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own．
Here's how to apply it：
Choose a cue，like leaving your running shoes by the door，then pick a reward---say，a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym．That way，the cue and the reward become interconnected．Finally，when you see the shoes，your brain will start longing for the reward，which will make it easier to work out day after day．The best part？In a couple of weeks，you won't need the chocolate at all．Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward．Which is the whole point，right？

4．China has announced it's abolishing its one-child policy．What difference has it made，statistically speaking？
400 million births prevented
The one-child policy，officially in place since 1979，has prevented 400 million births．Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children．
The majority of the decrease in China's fertility rate happened in the 1970s．It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 in 1978．Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1.7 by 2013．
21：28-baby deaths rate
Since the one-child policy was introduced，baby girls have become more likely to die than boys．
In the 1970s，according to the United Nations，60 males per 1，000 live births died under the age of one．For girls the figure was 53．In the 1980s，after the one-child policy became official，the rate for both was 36．By the 1990s，26 males per 1，000 live births died before the age of one-and 33 girls．The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1，000 live births dying and 28 girls．
1.16 boys born for every girl
Sexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China's unusual imbalance．
Gietel-Basten，associate professor in social policy at Oxford University，says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children，adding officials often turn a blind eye．It's estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China．
4：2：1 families
With the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy，a"4：2：1"home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparent，cared for by two working age parents，who themselves have one child．
By 2050，it's predicted that a quarter of China's population will be 65 or older．The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy．
21．When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal？B
A．In the 1970s．B．In the 1980s．C．In the 1990s．D．In the 2000s
22．What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage？D
A．The decline of birth rate．B．The rise of baby deaths rate．
C．The change of family structure．D．The decline of working age people．
23．The passage sums up the one child policy byA．
A．number           B．example         C．contrast        D．analysis．

3．The human population of Sri Lanka is now believed to be over 20million．As a result，large areas of trees are being turned into farmland，highways are being built over centuries-old elephant migration routes，and elephants are being driven out of their habitats．This change causes turmoil，resulting in an increased number of uncontrollable events between elephants and humans．
The good news is that there is one place called the Elephant Transit Home （ETH） in Udawalawe National Park，the main purpose of which is to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild．A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk．During the course of the day，each baby will drink an average of 13gallons of milk．Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves as well as other native plants．Then the elephants are set free to wander in the park，eating growing grass and forming a herd．
The ETH spends almost $125，000each year on powered milk for these baby animals．To help pay for food and medical supplies，the ETH has a foster（领养）parent program．Anyone，even schoolchildren，can help a lot by giving money to care for a baby elephant．While some foster parents are too far away to visit the baby elephant being cared for at the ETH，local schoolchildren play an important part in the program．Foster parents can name their elephants，take photographs of them，and even help send them back into the wild．
Now visitors are not encouraged to get close to the elephants．The goal of the ETH is for the elephants to return to the wild in the end．It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be sent back into its natural habitat．The elephants are often set free together with other animals with whom they have close relationships．This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other．
28．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1probably mean？C
A．A condition of harmony．
B．A phenomenon of pollution．
C．A state of disorder．
