21、   Hydration (水合作用) sometimes takes a backseat to other health goals or priorities (优先). Here’s everything you need to know to stay hydrated.

Know why water is good for you

Doctors and dietitians always talk about the importance of hydration. The cells, tissues, and organs of your body need water to function.【1】, which include transporting nutrients and helping to remove waste. Water is so important that the average human body only lasts about three to four days without it.

【2】

There is no perfect calculation to determine how much water you should drink a day. There are too many contributing factors, such as altitude, climate, activity level, diet, and personal medical history.【3】, your body needs more fluid to process the food.

So how much water should you drink a day? On average the daily recommended fluid intake for women is around 11 glasses of water and 13 glasses for men. Plain water is ideal for hydration, but all fluid helps.

Know whether you need water

An easy way to see if you are drinking enough water is to check your urine (尿液). If you are only producing small amounts of urine infrequently and it’s dark in color, you need to drink more water. Of course, if you have dry mouth or thirst, you should drink more water, too.【4】.

Know how you can drink enough water

Worrying and wondering how much water you should drink a day won’t happen if you break up your water intake. Drink 18 ounces of water at 7:00 a. m., 12:00 p. m., 3:00 p. m., and 7:00 p. m.【5】. By the time you’re thirsty, you’re likely already dehydrated. And thirst isn’t always a reliable indicator of fluid needs, especially in children and the elderly.

A. If you eat a high-fiber diet

B. Water plays many vital roles

C. If you eat less food than usual

D. Know how much water you need

E. Know where you can get the water

F. Don’t rely on your thirst to remember to drink water

G. How much water you should drink a day depends on situations

22、Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.

It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A. Handwriting is not very important to children.

B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

【2】What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.

B. How we write is as important as what we write.

C. Children create ideas and remember information.

D. A group of students should know what to write.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?

A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.

B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.

C. Type the image directly on a computer.

D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

【4】According to the passage, the author obviously  _______  giving up handwriting.  

A. is for   B. is against

C. is responsible for  D. doesn’t care about

23、When Elvis Presley died on August 16th, 1977, radio and television programs all over the world were interrupted to give the news of his death. President Carter declared a day of national mourning. Carter said, "Elvis Presley changed the face of American popular culture...He was unique and irreplaceable." Eighty thousand people attended his funeral. The streets were jammed with cars, and Elvis Presley films were shown on television, and his records were played on the radio all day. In the year after his death, one hundred million Presley LPs(密纹唱片)were sold.

Elvis Presley was born on January 8th, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. His parents were very poor and Elvis never had music lessons, but he was surrounded by music from an early age. His parents were very religious, and Elvis regularly sang at church services. In 1948, when he was thirteen, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee. He left school in 1953 and got a job as a truck driver.

In the summer of 1953, Elvis paid four dollars and recorded a song for his mother's birthday at Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio. Sam Phillips heard Elvis and asked him to record That's All Right. Twenty thousand copies were sold. He made five more records for Sun. Then in July 1955, he met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager in November. On January 10th, 1956, Elvis recorded Heartbreak Hotel, and a million copies were sold. In the next fourteen months, he made another fourteen records, and they were all big hits. In 1956, he also made his first film in Hollywood.

In March 1958, Elvis had to join the army. He wanted to be an ordinary soldier. When his hair was cut, thousands of women cried. He spent the next two years in Germany, where he met Priscilla Beaulieu, who became his wife eight years later on May 1st, 1967. In 1960, he left the army and went to Hollywood where he made several films during the next few years.

By 1968 many people had become tired of Elvis. He hadn't performed live since 1960, but he recorded a new LP From Elvis in Memphis and appeared in a special television program. He became popular again, and went to Las Vegas, where he was paid seven hundred fifty thousand dollars for four weeks. In August of 1977, he died from a heart attack. He has been working too hard, and eating and drinking too much for several years. He left all his money to his only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

24、Hardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf. Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys; SUVs are presented in natural habitats; oil companies use sunny, friendly logos and promise cleaner technologies- although, in fact, they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues.

This is known as greenwashing, which means “making things that are not green look green”. The phenomenon has long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970, when companies spent $300 million advertising themselves as green companies—many times more than the money they actually spent on research into pollution reduction itself. And the trend continued over the following decades when some of the planet’s worst polluters tried to pass themselves off as eco-friendly. As the public’s environmental awareness grew, so too did the experience of corporate public relations strategies, and advertisers found ever- more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives.

Of course, some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But when a company spends more time and money claiming to be “green” than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact, it is clear that, for them, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan(口号). Their message is “buy our products and you will end global warming, improve air quality and save the oceans”. At best, such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits; at worst, it helps conceal deception.

And what about today s consumers? Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions about what is true. Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why else would companies do it? More information and greater awareness are essential. Analysing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum. Non- governmental organisations can spread the word. Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies. But it is not enough. Legally enforceable systems must be put in place.

So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers’ eyes? In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development”. All of these surely are the heart of the matter: the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles. And therein lies the real danger to our planet, a danger which cannot be ignored any longer.

【1】What can we learn about greenwashing?

A．It is an ecological concept.

B．It is a marketing technique.

C．It is an awareness campaign.

D．It is an advertising innovation.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “conceal deception” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Hide the truth.

B．Raise the risk.

C．Expose the weakness.

D．Break the limit.

【3】What can be inferred about most consumers?

A．They are lacking in legal knowledge.

B．They have encouraged greenwashing.

C．They may question consumer groups.

D．They tend to make sensible decisions.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Actions to fight false advertising.

B．Ways to protect customers’ interest.

C．Attempts to solve environmental problems.

D．Proposals to ensure sustainable development.
