22、I’m sure you have noticed that I’m fat. I am the capital F-A-T kind of fat. I am the elephant in the room.
When I was six years old, my sister taught ballet to us little girls. I was about a foot taller and a foot wider than most of the group. When it came to doing our first performance, I was so excited about wearing a pretty pink tutu (短裙) and shining on stage. As the other girls slipped easily into their tutus, none was big enough to fit me. I was determined not to be excluded from the performance, so I turned to my mother and loudly said, “Mom, I don’t need a tutu. I need a fourfour.
Although I didn’t recognize it at the time, claiming space for myself in that glorious fourfour was the first step towards becoming a fat activist. I’m not saying that this has been an easy skip along a glittering path of self-acceptance since that day in class. Far from it. I soon learned that living outside what the mainstream considers normal can be a frustrating place. I’ve been openly laughed at and been told that I’m day-dreaming. I also receive smiles from strangers who recognize what it takes to walk down the street with your head held high.
Through it all, that fierce little six-year-old has stayed with me, and she has helped me stand before you today as a person that simply refuses to subscribe to the dominant concept about how I should move through the world in this body of mine.
And I’m not alone. I am part of an international community of people who choose to flourish in these bodies as they are today. We value mental health, self-worth and how we feel in our bodies as vital aspects to our overall well-being. We are the people who refuse to believe that living in these fat bodies is a barrier to anything.
【1】What can we learn about the author at the age of six?
A.She was ashamed of her body.
B.She was eager to perform.
C.She was laughed at by others.
D.She was praised by her sister.
【2】What does the underlined word “excluded” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Returned.
B.Hidden.
C.Prevented.
D.Protected.
【3】How was the author’s journey to self- acceptance?
A.Smooth.
B.Heart-breaking.
C.Lonely.
D.Bitter-sweet.
【4】What is the author’s opinion according to the passage?
A.Fat people should try to lose weight.
B.People shouldn’t care about how they look.
C.Slim people have better control of their bodies.
D.Being fat can’t stop people doing what they like.

24、 Finding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.
The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton’s 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.
Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”
The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.
One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. Mountain goats’ original habitat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.
Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”
【1】What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?
A.Their size is huge. B.Their number is decreasing.
C.They arrived in the 1960s. D.They threaten local species.
【2】How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?
A.By providing suggestions. B.By driving away mountain goats.
C.By volunteering in the park. D.By taking over Grand Teton National Park.
【3】What is Germann’s attitude towards the bighorn sheep?
A.Curious. B.Proud.
C.Surprised. D.Concerned.
【4】What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning?
A.To offer hunting chances.
B.To sell nonnative wildlife.
C.To satisfy wildlife managers.
D.To increase diversities of sheep.
25、 Studies show that older people tend to remember the positive things in life rather than the negative things, while younger people remember the positive and negative equally well. The dominant psychological theory to explain this is that older people are aware of their limited time left, so they _______ positive emotional experiences. But about a decade ago, I worked with biologist Robert Trivers on his idea that there was a(n) _______ basis for older people's increased positive outlook. Our research took us in the fascinating direction of exploring how the body _______ its energy.
When our _______ needed more energy than usual perhaps while being chased by a tiger, they had to get that energy from somewhere in the body. Could they borrow it from the brain? That organ uses 20 percent of our metabolic output, whether we are solving math problems or watching television reruns. Due to this constant energy requirement, borrowing energy from the brain when our need _______ the available supply is not an option. Perhaps we could borrow energy from our muscles. Because we use far more muscle energy when we are active than when at rest, _______, we could borrow energy when we are sitting. But the problem is that most of the energy-demanding emergencies of our ancestors _______ a muscular response. There was no way to borrow energy from our muscles during an emergency because relaxing when a tiger showed up was not a(n) _______ response. This brings us to our immune system, which, when _______ protects us from many illnesses and diseases. Like the brain, the immune system works at great metabolic cost, but largely in the __________of keeping us healthy in the future. We have an enormous number of immune cells coursing through our body, a(n) __________ break from production is fine. So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function. When you’re being chased by a tiger, you don’t need to waste energy making immune cells to fight off tomorrow’s cold. What you need is to __________ all available energy resources to your legs, with the hope that you will live to experience another cough or sneeze.
__________, our immune system evolved to run in maximum amounts when we’re happy, but to slow down dramatically when we’re not. With this background in mind, Trivers supposed that older people evolved a strategy of turning this relationship on its head, becoming more __________ the positive things in life in an effort to enhance their immune functioning. This was helped along by their knowing much more about the world than younger adults, so they can deal with some of the __________ things in life more easily.
