26、It’s the middle of winter, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. 【1】 So what can be done to lift our spirits?
The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, and that can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation during the long dark months. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. 【2】
Jenny Scott-Thompson is one person who was diagnosed with SAD. 【3】 As well as going outside during daylight hours, this is believed to help anyone who is affected by the winter gloom.
Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants (抗抑郁药) can help those with more severe depression by artificially increasing the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone. 【4】 Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “it can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of season.”
【5】 Writing for the BBC Social website, Esther De La Ford asks “What if we explored what winter has to offer us, instead of grieving those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection, slowing down, stillness and renewal. Maybe this might stop us longing for summer.
A.Many of us can try to just change our mindset.
B.For some of us, this is when the winter blues set in.
C.As advised, she took an active part in social activities.
D.Accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us.
E.As for the treatment, psychologists recommend more social interaction.
F.It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a lack of light.
G.She was advised to take light therapy, which involved sitting in front of a light box.
27、The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.
Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料)and coal stoves.
These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油)fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.
Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精)stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.
【1】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By making classifications.
B.By listing numbers.
C.By following time order.
D.By describing a process.
【2】According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?
A.People should use an effective air cleaner.
B.People should use new technologies and clean fuels.
C.People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.
D.People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.
B.Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .
C.People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.
D.There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?

29、In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.
