21、Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight (the ability to see), new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision (色觉减退) as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device (设备), and simplicity, theteam is excited about the future of their therapy.
【1】What plays a key role in red light therapy?
A.The device used in the treatment.
B.The time of day for treatment.
C.The time that one treatment lasts.
D.The number of treatments received.
【2】What makes it necessary to improve the study?
A.The age of the volunteers.
B.The poor vision of the volunteers.
C.The health condition of the volunteers.
D.The number of the volunteers.
【3】What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy?
A.Hopeful.
B.Doubtful.
C.Carefree.
D.Unclear.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To state the importance of eye care.
B.To explain the value of deep red light.
C.To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D.To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
22、 I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable and friendly.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality firsthand. On a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence, sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat ---- it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine (真诚的) mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else’s privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
【1】What do we know about the occupants when the author was travelling in Italy?
A. They were all on the side of the gentleman.
B. They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
C. They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public
D. They all showed their understanding of the author’s mistake.
【2】How does the author finally believe the Italian people are?
A. Cold. B. Rude C. Helpful. D. Hospitable.
【3】Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph?
A. They were too tired to speak to anyone.
B. They were all strangers to each other.
C. Privacy was a valued tradition in England.
D. Everybody was deeply lost in though.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness
B. Co-understanding Each Other
C. My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad
D. The Importance of Privacy
23、Ford is turning McDonald’s coffee waste into headlights
Ford is recently including coffee chaff (谷壳) that comes off during the roasting process—into the plastic headlights housing (大灯外壳) used in some cars. It has asked McDonald’s, which doesn’t roast its own coffee, to connect it with suppliers.
In recent years, as consumers feel more concern for plastic pollution and carbon emissions, companies have made full commitments to reduce their influences on the environment. They’ve also been developing new, sustainable materials to build consumer products.
Traditionally, Ford uses plastic and talc(滑石粉) to make its headlights housing. The coffee version is more sustainable because it’s lighter and doesn’t use the talc which, as a mineral, isn’t renewable. Coffee chaff, on the other hand, is widely available, and much of it goes to waste. Eventually, Ford hopes to use the material for more parts.
Ford decided to work with coffee chaff a few years ago. But it’s been experimenting with organic materials for over a decade. The auto company has been using soy-based foam(泡沫) in its cushions since 2011. It also uses waste from wheat, coconut, tomato and other plants in its cars in order to help meet some of its sustainability goals, which include using more renewable materials. Once the Ford team figured out how coffee chaff could be used to build car parts, it reached out to McDonald’s because of the restaurant chain ‘s scale and its sustainability goals. Like Ford, McDonald’s also wants to bring renewable and recycled materials into its products. The partnership between Ford and McDonald’s is an example of how brands with different projects can work together.
“We’ve conventionally thought of cooperation as within the food industry,” said Lan Olson, senior director of Global Sustainability at McDonald’s. “The Ford partnership can help McDonald’s see what kind of larger impacts are possible when it works with a company in another field. This is just scratching(划开) the surface of trying to understand what’s possible,” Olson said.
【1】Why is Ford applying coffee chaff to headlights housing?
A.To work with McDonald’s.
B.To do experiments in the lab.
C.To save resources and money.
D.To reduce environmental pollution.
【2】What makes Ford choose McDonald’s as its partner?
A.Coffee of McDonald’s is so popular and has great potential.
B.Ford wants to cooperate with one in the food industry.
C.They have the same sustainability goals.
D.Different brands with different projects can work together.
【3】What can we learn from Olson’s words?
A.Cooperation between the two brands just begins.
B.The cooperation is only on the surface.
C.Ford has a large influence on McDonald’s.
D.Only cooperation within the food industry is welcomed.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.News.
B.Business.
C.Science.
D.Entertainment.
