21、Why Walking Makes You a Better Worker?

We’re busy at work, distracted by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces.

【1】 The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day?

【2】 You’ll have to stand up and move, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D.

There’s also a lot of work on the mental benefits of being in nature — on the state of being happy and on your brain’s ability to make sense of life. “When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors. 【3】” says Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada’s Trent University.

The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining ground since the 1980s. 【4】 Afterwards shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests can benefit your health. Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase creativity, and even help us live longer.

Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness. 【5】 Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.

A.There are some obvious benefits to going outside.

B.But it doesn’t have to be a forest.

C.spending time in nature makes us healthier and happier.

D.In other words, people are happier in nature.

E.We also don’t get out much.

F.Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets.

G.First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature.

23、While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted-being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!

About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device（设备）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.

Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” —a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.

Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?

A．To ask us not to take common things for granted.

B．To show they live a difficult life there.

C．To show their life is boring in space.

D．To introduce the topic of the text.

【2】NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to __________.

A．create some new type of 3-D printer

B．attract more companies to work for NASA

C．help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day

D．produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits

【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that __________.

A．he has no money left to go on with his research

B．the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers

C．he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years

D．he cannot make the food container last for decades

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better

B．Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza

C．NASA is working on making pizza for common people

D．A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

26、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。

Ahmad sat at a table in the school cafeteria. The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning.

“I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend，twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought.   “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad? ”Ahmad beamed.   “It’s got a nice ring to it.”

“You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas.   Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign?”

Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons.

“Where should we start?” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you?”   Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister.   “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.”

An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister.   “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All?“ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed   Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience.   The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them.   ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster.
