21、Approximately 40 percent adults and 19 percent children in the US are obese (肥胖的). Obese people are at increased risk of many serious diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. 【1】 If you are suffering from these, here’s a way of losing weight that you can try.

Dietary “self-monitoring” is a common strategy that people use to lose weight. 【2】The theory is that when thinking of what you put in your body, you’ll make healthier decisions. Can it really be that easy? There’s no doubt that dietary self-monitoring has been shown to help lose weight. 【3】

Recently, researchers studied obese individuates in otherwise good health who participated in a 24- week weight control program where they recorded their daily dietary intake using an online program. The findings demonstrated that people who continued to record their food intake daily for 24 weeks lost more weight compared to those who quit noting their intake. 【4】 In comparison, those who recorded less than 2 times daily lost less weight.

Researchers found the more often people logged what they ate, the more weight they might lose. They noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary intake about three times a day, rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting.

【5】 Dietary self-monitoring can be performed in different ways — using an online program, using a pencil or using smartphone applications, so it is important to find what works for you.

A．Luckily, obesity can be treated by recording your meals.

B．It involves recording what they consume, and how much.

C．A good principle to follow may be “write when you bite”.

D．Obesity is also associated with a lower life quality and poor mental health.

E．Using an electronic system, researchers were able to see what people were doing.

F．However, not much is known about how long this takes or how often it should be done.

G．People who lost at least 10 percent of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a day.

22、The Legacy Senior Communities is proud to announce the latest innovation in senior living care is coming to its Dallas and Plano campuses, the TrueLoo® smart toilet by Toi Labs. “We’re consistently exploring new technologies to ensure that we are providing excellent care in the most effective and efficient ways,” says Legacy Senior Communities CEO Melissa Orth.

“The TrueLoo® smart toilet provides early detection of oncoming health complications before they become serious, and all in a dignnified and valuable manner. This improves our care response and can potentially avoid a potential health complication altogether,” says Orth. “The innovative toilet automates data collection and enables clinical team members to keep track of the residents around the clock without uncomfortable conversations with them about their toileting habits. Investing in TrueLoo® technology enables a higher standard of care with dignity,” says Vik Kashyap, Toi Labs’ founder and CEO.

In assisted living and memory support residences, where toileting activity is harder to collect, the TrueLoo® smart toilet provides effortless collection, enhancing current services as well as residents’ experience. The Legacy Senior Communities begins testing the units in early March. The pilot program will launch in Memory Support at the Kalman and Ida Wolens Foundation Healthcare Center at the Willow Bend community and at the Midtown Park community’s Andrea &Richard Skibell and Leslie Rudd Healthcare Center. The communities will continue manual monitoring to establish a control group during this trial period. The resulting data will enable The Legacy to benchmark the ability of the smart toilet.

“We decided to trial the smart toilet in two different service areas,” said Director of Strategic Development Bridgette Walshe. “We want to ensure that this technology is non- invasive (非侵入性的) while providing accurate and relevant data.” Walshe believes that artificial intelligence is one potential means to cost-effectively improve senior care services, freeing up valuable time for clinical team members to provide more person-centric care.

【1】How can the TrueLoo® smart toilet benefit seniors?

A．By improving their toileting habits.

B．By identifying their potential health issues.

C．By calling clinical team members for them at any time.

D．By informing care workers of their desire to use a toilet.

【2】What can best conclude Kashyap’s words about his company’s product?

A．It is quality-centered.

B．It is safety-guaranteed.

C．It is privacy-ensured.

D．It is comfort-focused.

【3】What does the underlined word “benchmark” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A．Measure.

B．Recognize.

C．Demonstrate.

D．Improve.

【4】What is Walshe’s attitude to the toilet?

A．Hopeful.

B．Critical.

C．Tolerant.

D．Contradictory.

23、   It is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely monitor our ocean life. Howev¬er, observing sea creatures Up close is almost impossible since human presence scares them. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also known as SoFi, researchers may be able to keep a close eye on the sea creatures.

Built by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ( CSAIL), the white re- mote-controlled robot resembles the real fish, complete with a tail that waves from side to side. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to monitor the ocean , SoFi set- tles many of the problems that have blocked the usefulness of the previous robot fish.

Previous AUVs have had to be linked to boats because radio frequency communications don’t work well underwater. To overcome the problem, Director of die CSALL Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves. The technology can travel greater distances allowing divers to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away.

Also limiting the usefulness of traditional AUVs is the risk of collision. With the outside made of soft silicone （硅树脂）rubber and flexible plastic that keeps its inbuilt electronics dry, SoFi po¬ses no such danger. " Collision avoidance often leads to unnecessary movement, since the robot has to settle for a collision-free path" , says Rus. "In contrast, a soft robot is not only more likely to survive a collision but also could use it as information to form a more workable movement plan next time around. "

During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking photos and making videos. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim a- longside the strange-looking robot-fish out of curiosity, while at other times they took no notice of its existence.

While SoFi presently only records video, future versions will include sensors. The researchers also hope to make it more autonomous. "We imagine someday it might help us uncover more secrets from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about," says Rus.

【1】What does the water think of SoFi?

A. It makes ocean creature detection easier.

B. It is the first AUV.

C. It is closely controlled.

D. It scares sea animals away.

【2】According to para 3, which of the following is ture?

A. Sound waves travel faster than radio

B. Sound waves work better than radio underwater.

C. Previous AUVs use sound Avaves to communicate.

D. A boat travels along with SoFi on the water.

【3】How does SoFi deal with collision?

A. It can benefit farom its inbuilt electronics.

B. It can avoid extra movement.

C. It can smartly adjust its movement plan.

D. It is set for a collision-free path.

【4】What will happen to SoFi in the future?

A. SoFi can record videos.

B. SoFi will go invisible.

C. SoFi will be free from external control.

D. SoFi will be equipped with smart devices.

24、During my first year in college. I didn’t speak even though I was in a program called the Great Conversation. I was too afraid of saying something wrong.

I took a class from Barbara as a second year student. My mind was split open by the quality of Barbara’s questions. I finally had something to say and the energy to say it. I was a frequent visitor during Barbara’s office hours.

In my junior year, Barbara announced the birth of her daughter. Maggie. That time I still knew little about her life. During my senior year, when Barbara was my essay adviser, I became Maggie’s babysitter. She had to leave to teach her class. I sang Maggie lullabies(摇篮曲), fed her tiny cheese cubes, and gave her hot milk. And also in the same year, with Barbara’s help, I finished my essay successfully and graduated as an outstanding student.

During the six years after graduation, I visited Barbara and her husband often. Our relationship gradually deepened, but I was always conscious of a teacher-student relationship.

It was another two years later that this changed fundamentally when I became a parent and had my son in 2010, and Barbara was one of the first to congratulate me. When, nine months later, my child was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a serious and rare illness, she sent me a letter handwritten on a white legal pad(信笺薄). For the next two and a half years, Barbara wrote me regular, sometimes weekly, remarkable letters that are revealing, loving, and kind.

When I began writing about my son in a very public blog format, Barbara responded to each post.

Through our back-and-forths, I began to realize that I hadn’t really known her at all—not until now, as she revealed more about herself than she ever had. A little over a year ago, she wrote, “I’m sending you lots of love and positive thoughts. Hope you feel it.” I did, and I do. Yes, we had decades of shared history behind us, but now we had gotten to know and love each other as women, mothers and equals.
