26、   Buying secondhand clothing has many benefits. Many people who are into buying secondhand clothing love the idea that you never know what you'll find at secondhand clothing stores. Sometimes you might not find anything in your size that you like. 【1】It can be great fun to discover something that you both need and like to wear for a low price, especially if you' re on a budget（缺少钱）.

【2】Some look for basic items such as blue jeans and plain （朴素的）sweaters, while others do the opposite （相对的）and look for ancient pieces. Of course some people just look for clothing that fits them very well.

Buying secondhand clothing can be especially beneficial for families on a budget. 【3】Most secondhand stores usually get a lot of children's clothes donated so there is a lot to choose from.

High-end clothing for both adults and children is sometimes donated to secondhand stores. You can check out stores near high-grade neighborhoods for new donations regularly and you may even find designer pieces for next to nothing. 【4】

If you like buying secondhand clothes, you should also consider donating clothing you're no longer using. 【5】A few items from one person's wardrobe （衣柜）don't seem like much, but if many people recycled their clothing it would have a large effect on the amount of rubbish that ends up at landfills（垃圾填埋地）.

A．This helps keep it becoming rubbish.

B．Different shoppers shop for different things.

C．There are lots of places to buy secondhand clothing.

D．So do buy clothing secondhand which is in excellent condition.

E．At other times you might find many items totally perfect for you.

F．Kids grow fast and sometimes grow out of their clothing before it's worn out.

G．Some stores sell designer clothing for higher prices than other clothing, however.

27、The climate we live in affects many areas of our lives. 【1】A warmer world would be a sicker world.

Climate researchers predict that the world climate will become warmer. High temperatures in summer is becoming more frequent and very cold winters more rare. With winters becoming warmer, there are likely to be up to 20, 000 fewer cold-related deaths. However, there is a danger that bacteria would no longer die off seasonally during the cold period. 【2】

More heat waves may increase the number of hot-weather related deaths by up to 2, 800. They could cause an extra 5,000 deaths a year from skin cancer and may cause an increase of up to 2,000 cases of eye diseases. 【3】

Higher average global temperatures mean that diseases, or their carriers, may be able to move to areas that were too cold for them to survive at an earlier time. It's possible that a warm type of malaria (疟疾) will appear in some parts of the world and be a seasonal danger for up to four months each year. 【4】 They will cause damage to our homes, food, and water supplies and then affect our health.

【5】Those living in poor and developing countries are going to be less able to adapt to changes. Health effects are not likely to be limited to the human population, and wildlife would also be seriously affected.

A．It means that diseases may spread more widely.

B．Therefore, climate changes for the same period.

C．It's no secret that human activity is changing the climate.

D．Climate change is likely to have different effects on the world population.

E．Globally, there are likely to be more floods, more droughts, and more storms.

F．Warmer summers may cause up to 10,000 extra cases of food poisoning (中毒) each year.

G．The food we eat, the water we drink, and our homes are all dependent upon our climate and weather.

28、Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health, but the reality is that getting up late is the norm for many of us. 【1】 For this, we specially recommend a “painless early rise” guideline.

Seek out as much natural light as possible. 【2】. Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, agrees with it firstly. That’s because natural light holds back melatonin, a chemical that plays an important role in our bodies. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says.

【3】. For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.

Hold on even on weekends. Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. 【4】.

Plan something to look forward to. To force you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first. 【5】. “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some cakes to have when your alarm goes off at 5 am,” she says.

A．Ease in gradually

B．And stick to it without exception

C．You’re not worrying if you think of that

D．Adjust yourself to the schedule in the evenings

E．The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light

F．It takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter’s day

G．Experts advise to cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting

31、

When it comes to food coloring, why should we have to prove just exactly how and why the substance causes a negative effect on the people who consume it before we can 【1】 it ? If this were a necessary or meaningful food ingredient (材料) in any way, sure, that would be a reasonable standard. But food coloring has no nutritional value. Why are we 【2】 it?

Most likely because it helps companies sell products. Pretty food pays off because aesthetics (美学) in food does 【3】. We have relied on 【4】 cues (暗示) for thousands of years to help us determine what is edible, nutritious, and safe to eat. Man has adapted to appreciating natural colors, including a varity of green, red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple produce. Colors 【5】 that food is ripe (成熟的) or that it contains healthy compounds. Because of that 【6】 background, color is money for food manufacturers. Children are especially attracted to a variety of bright, vibrant colors and succumb to (屈从于) targeted marketing.

Food aesthetics can also affect how we look at taste. In one study, when subjects were given sugar water in different 【7】 of red, they reported that the deep red drinks tasted sweeter than the light red ones. We’ve been programmed to expected certain things from certain colors. Another study showed people had a harder time 【8】 drink flavors when the drinks did not have the expected colors. We expected what nature has taught us, and even though our food system has changed dramatically in the past several decades, our expectations have yet to 【9】 up. Food companies can instead use this knowledge to 【10】 us and make their processed products appear more delicious.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Stuffy Pete sat down on a seat in a New York City park. Every Thanksgiving for nine years he had sat down there in the afternoon. He went there to wait for the Old Gentleman, who would lead Stuffy to a restaurant and treat him to a big dinner. That was a thing that the Old Gentleman was trying to make into a tradition, for it was a chance to ease the poor man’s suffering from starvation.

On those other Thanksgiving Days he had been hungry. But today Stuffy was not hungry. He had come from a dinner so big that he had almost no strength to move. He was short of breath . His body had suddenly become too big for his clothes.

The dinner had not been expected. On his way he passed a large house, whose owners also had a tradition. They invited the first hungry person who walked by into their home and offered him a very big dinner. Stuffy happened to be that person. It’s hard to turn down such great hospitality.

Finally, the Old Gentleman was coming across Fourth Avenue toward Stuffy’s seat, looking good enough as always. Always before, this had been a sweet moment. But now he looked up at the Old Gentleman’s face with tears of suffering in his eyes. But the Old Gentleman was shaking with the cold. He turned away, with his back to the wind.

Stuffy was very full, but he understood that he was part of a tradition. His desire for food on Thanksgiving Day was not his own. It belonged to this kind Old Gentleman. The Old Gentleman led Stuffy to the restaurant and to the same table where they had always eaten at. The waiters brought food, and more food. Stuffy began to eat.

In an hour the battle was finished. The Old Gentleman carefully counted out $1.30, and left fifteen cents more for the waiter. Then they said goodbye, as they did each year, at the door. The Old Gentleman went south, and Stuffy went north.
