26、Since the 1970s, body mass index(BMI)has been widely used as vital data to monitor our health condition. BMI is calculated from your height and weight, used as an estimate of body fat and a good evaluation of your risk for diseases that can occur with more body fat. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and breathing problems. Even a small weight loss, between 5 and 10 percent of your current weight, will help lower your risk of developing diseases associated with obesity.
However, many researchers argue that we've been overlooking the limitations of BMI, since BMI alone isn't always a good indicator of cardiovascular(心血管的)risk. For example, an athletic, muscular person could have a high BMI but a healthy heart. Conversely, many people lose muscle with age, which could lower their BMI despite high body fat levels. A group of worldwide experts released a statement in early 2020 suggesting that measuring patients' waists also helps screen for possible health risks that come with overweight and obesity.
If most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you're at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men. To correctly measure your waist, stand and place a tape measure around your middle, just above your hipbones. Measure your waist just after you breathe out. So although BMI can be useful, adding waist circumference(腰围)to the picture clarifies your risk profile. Fortunately, waist size tends to go down even if your weight doesn't.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Weight loss.
B.Body mass index
C.Health problems.
D.Risks for diseases.
【2】What can be learned from the passage?
A.Waist size tends to go down easily
B.A lower BMI indicates a healthy heart
C.High body fat level builds up our muscle
D.BMI has limitations in health assessment.
【3】What is likely to be talked about next?
A.Advice on a healthy diet.
B.Ways to measure waist
C.Tips for reducing waistline.
D.Methods of losing weight.
27、I’m 16. On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the weekend and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future. My dad was upset not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I’m going to, how far away it is from home and how much it’s going to cost. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future—if it has a future at all.
He sounded like this: “There will be a pandemic that kills millions, a devastating energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger.”
As I lay on the living room couch, eavesdropping(偷听) on their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos.
There was a picture of my grandfather in his Citadel uniform. He was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great-grandparents, Ellis Island immigrants. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe the world my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.
I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great-grandparents had seen in their life times: two world wars, killer flu, a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, the polio(小儿麻痹症) vaccine, passage of the civil rights laws. They even saw the Red Sox won the World Series—twice.
I believe that my generation will see better things, too—that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as inconceivable to me today as a moon shot was to my grandfather when he was 16, or the Internet to my father when he was 16. Ever since I was a little kid, whenever I’ve had an awful day, my dad would put his arm around me and promise me that “tomorrow will be a better day.” I challenged my father once, “How do you know that?” He said, “I just do.” I believe him. My great-grandparents believed that, and my grandparents, and so do I.

28、Fastbrick Robotics is responding to the increased demand for housing and a shortage in skilled construction labor with a bricklaying robot. The gigantic robot Hadrian X, equipped with specialized technology, can lay a residential house from the ground up, on site, in 2 days.
Hadrian is not the first outdoor construction robot. Trouble is, nothing’s happening outdoors. That’s because most robots can’t adjust to small, quick changes in wind or temperature fast enough to keep up. Especially when you’re working on something as large-scale as building a house and a light breeze could lead to bricks being laid way out of position. So up till now, any robot building on such large scales had to be indoors in minutely controlled environments.
Hadrian has overcome this problem using the precision technology Dynamic Stabilisation Technology (DST). The computer program measures environmental factors an astounding 2000 times per second, then accounts for them in real time. Combine that with a 3D printer style build process based on CAD modelling, and you get a robot that can lay bricks with an error margin of just 1 millimetre.
Hadrian’s got other things going for it than just accuracy though. It’s also 15 to 20 times faster than human builders, and the use of CAD modelling reduces waste because every brick is planned and calculated. Plus, it’s safer. It eliminates the need for humans to work at height and in intensive labor exposed to the elements. Together, these aspects should lead to vastly reduced housing costs. Not only is this great for first-home buyers, it’s also a potential solution to housing demand worldwide.
Fastbrick’s technological innovations may be groundbreaking, but that doesn’t mean it’ll all be smooth sailing. But any resistance and challenges faced by Fastbrick Robotics are more than offset by the potential rewards. One of the best things about being the CEO of Fastbrick, according to Mike, is that “everybody wants this to work … it’s an amazing thing to work in an organization where you have global support to be successful”.
【1】What do we know about Hadrian?
A.It’s an indoor bricklaying machine.
B.It has been accepted by all the people.
C.It’s the first outdoor construction robot.
D.It can better adapt to the environmental changes.
【2】All the following words can be used to describe Hadrian EXCEPT_____.

A.Paragraphs 1 and 2.
