Undo a Sugar Binge
The fat and protein of nuts help avoid a blood sugar crash by slowing digestion, says Jennifer Powell Weddig, PhD, RDN, a professor of nutrition at Metropolitan State University in Denver. “Or try humus(豆泥) with vegetables, which have fiber, which can slow the absorption of simple sugars.”
“Taking the stairs after eating will help your muscles use the blood sugar instead of storing it,” says Amanda Bontempo, MS, RD, CDN, an oncology dietitian（癌症营养学家） at NYU Langone’s Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center. Proof that short exercise bursts work: A study in Diabetes Care found that older adults who walked for just 15 minutes after each meal had lower blood sugar levels than those who walked for 45 minutes in the late morning or before dinner.
Green tea and lemon are diuretics（利尿的）, which means you’ll take more bathroom breaks. “You’re not directly eliminating the sugar, but you are forcing your blood to pump nutrients and waste products through your kidneys faster, which speeds sugar out of your system,” says Bontempo. Remember to stay well chemically bonded with water too; normally sugar hold back leptin, an appetite-regulating hormone, but drinking water reduces this effect.
A high-protein, low-carb（低碳水化合物）breakfast with a bit of fat is extremely important the day after a sugar overload. “The protein and fat keep you full, and fewer carbs encourage you to burn yesterday’s stored-up sugar energy,” says Bontempo. Try a vegetable bread with a slice of whole-grain toast, topped with avocado.
51. According to the passage, to undo a sugar binge we’d better do something except__________
A. have a spoonful of nut butter with fibers. B. have a little workout after eating.
C. drink green tea with fruit juice. D. plan tomorrow’s healthy breakfast.
52.This passage probably comes from _____.
A. a nutrition web page B. a scientific newspaper.
C. a food leaflet. D. a medical magazine

Frederick Douglass was a great leader during the Civil War although he was not a soldier during the Civil War. Although he was not a soldier and was not part of the military, he still gained popularity in a different way. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born on February 7, 1817 in Tuckahoe, Maryland. His mother Harriet Bailey, was a slave. However, his father’s identity is unknown. It became the source of his tragedy. He was raised by his grandparents because he was separated from his mother when he was born. At seven years old, Frederick was sent to a farm and worked for Captain Aaron Anthony, his master. He met his two sisters and a brother at the farm, however, he later admitted that he felt like a stranger among his own brothers and sisters. At the age of eight, Frederick became a slave for Hugh Auld, one of Captain Anthony’s relatives in Baltimore. Frederick managed to persuade Auld’s wife to teach him how to read. She began to teach him lessons but eventually changed her mind and stopped giving him lessons because she felt that slaves should not be taught how to read and write. However, Frederick learned how to read and write through the help of his educated playmates. Soon, Frederick realized that the only way to rise from his present lifestyle was through education and knowledge. He believed that slave masters didn’t want their slaves to become educated because they would rise from ignorance and find a way to resist. This was Frederick’s main reason for learning how to read and write.
Frederick attempted to escape in 1836. After he was caught, he was forced to live as a slave again in Maryland. Two years later, he tried to escape once more. He fled Maryland and made his way to New Bedford, Massachusetts. Fearful that he might be caught again, he changed his name to Frederick Douglass. The State of Massachusetts abolished slavery, and this was where Frederick became active in anti-slavery movements. He was on a mission to help end slavery. Douglass held lectures in which he described the slaves’ sad life in the fields. He often made trips to the South to help slaves escape through a secret route called the Underground Railroad. In 1847, he moved to New York and established a newspaper called The North Star, which was solely dedicated to spreading the word of abolitionism(废奴论).
Frederick’s involvement and contributions to the anti-slavery movement earned him a place in American history as an icon of liberation and courage. Most importantly, Frederick is also a symbol of education and hard work. He wanted people to remember that knowledge is power and education is vital.
53. Frederick’s life in Massachusetts was different from that in Maryland in that_______.
A. Frederick could learn how to read and write in Massachusetts.
B. Frederick lived totally freely in Massachusetts
C. Frederick was able to practice his beliefs.
D. Frederick could write for slaves in Massachusetts.
54. What can be learned about Frederick from the passage?
A. Slavery prevented him from being close to his brothers and sisters.
B. He didn’t realize he lived an unjust society when young.
C. He traveled to New York and established The North Star in 1836.
D. He spent his early childhood in Massachusetts.
55. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A great leader during the Civil War.
B. Frederick’s Contributions to the Anti-slavery movement.
C. Help the Slaves Escape through the Underground Railroad.
D. A Man’s Journey from a Slave to a Leader.

With exploding consumer demand for Greek yogurt, production is up. That’s great for food companies’ bottom lines, but it also leaves them dealing with a lot more acid whey(酸乳清), a problematic byproduct of the Greek yogurt-making process.
Acid whey, if not properly dealt with, can cause environmental problems. At present , food companies typically pay to landspread it on farmers’ fields or dump it down the drain like sweage. Some plants are starting to send it to some professional companies, where it is used to produce methane（沼气）.
Scientist at the university of Wisconsin-Madison are developing a better choice- one that will transform this trash into treasure. “The whole goal is to take this problematic mixture of stuff —acid whey—and separate all of the various components and find commercial use for them,” says Dean Sommer, a food technologist with Wisconsin Center for Diary Research(CDR) in UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Science. That is no easy task.
Food companies have been separating the components of sweet whey—the byproduct of cheese production—for more than a decade now, obtaining high-value whey protein powders that are featured in muscle-building products and other high-protein foods and drinks. Compared to acid whey, it’s mostly water—95 percent—but it contains a lot less protein, which is considered the valuable part.
Some of the other “solid” in acid whey, which include lactose(乳糖),lactic acid, calcium, phosphorus and galactose, make it a lot more difficult to process. For example, thanks to galactose and lactic acid, it turns into a sticky mess when it’s dried down.
Instead of drying it, CDR scientists are developing technologies that use high -tech filters(过滤器) , or membranes, to separate out the various components. “We are taking the membranes that are available to us and stringing them together and developing a process that allows us to get some value -added ingredients out at the other end,” says diary processing technologist Karen Smith, who is working on the project.
At this point , the CDR has set its sight on lactose, an ingredient that food companies will pay good money for in food-grade form. “It’s the lowest-hanging fruit, the most valuable thing in there in terms of amount and potential worth,” says Sommer.
The technology is quite underway. While Sommer can’t give away names, he says a number of companies are already carrying out lactose-separating technology in their commercial plans. Separating the other components will later be part of the long-term goal for this technology. When it’s perfected, explains Sommer, acid whey will be stripped of its ingredients until there is nothing left. “It will just be water ,” he says.
56. Consumers’ fast rising demand for Greek yogurt ___
A. makes acid whey in short supply.
B. actually takes double-edge-sword effect.
C. destroys food companies’ bottom lines
D. brings food companies nothing but good news
57.What can we learn about acid whey from Paragrph 2?
A.It is of no practical use at all.
B. It’s a burden to food companies.
C. Food companies can profit from it.
D. Farmers enjoy employing to enrich the soil.
58.Compared with acid whey, sweet whey ____
A. is much easier to process
B. is more sticky whey dried down
C. is composed of water with valuable parts.
D. is a more valuable byproduct of cheese production
59. According to the article,Sommer is____ lactose-separating technology
A. subjective about B. doubtful about
C. optimistic about D. crazy about.
D
In the last days of December, Dr Hall, the village priest, was working in his study when his servant entered the room, in great alarm.
'Oh, Dr Hall, sir,' she cried. 'What do you think? The poor Squire's dead!'
'What? Squire Bowles? What are you saying, woman? 'replied the priest. 'I saw him only yesterday—'
'Yes, sir, I know, 'said the servant, 'but it's true. Mr Wickem, the clerk, has just brought the news on his way to ring the church bell. You'll hear it yourself in a moment. Listen! There it is. 'And sure enough, the bell then began to ring, long and slow, telling the people of the village that someone had died.
Dr Hall stood up. 'This is terrible, 'he said. 'I must go up to the Hall at once. The Squire was so much better yesterday. It seems so sudden.'
'Yes, sir,'agreed the servant.' Mr Wickem said that the poor Squire was taken ill very suddenly with a terrible pain. He died very quickly, and Wickem said they want him buried quickly too.'
'Yes, yes; well, I must ask Mrs Bowles herself or Mr Joseph, 'said the priest. 'Bring me my coat and hat, please. Oh, and tell Mr Wickem that I would like to see him when he has finished ringing the bell.' And he hurried off to the Hall.
When he returned an hour later, he found the clerk waiting for him.
'There's a lot of work for you to do, Wickem, 'he said, 'and not much time to do it.'
'Yes, sir, 'said Wickem.' You'll want the family tomb opened, of course…'
'No, no, not at all,' replied Dr Hall. 'The poor Squire said before he died that he did not want to be buried in the family tomb. It is to be an earth grave in the churchyard.'
'Excuse me, sir, 'said Wickem, very surprised. 'Do I understand you right? No tomb, you say, and just an earth grave? The poor Squire was too ill to know what he was saying, surely?'
'Yes, Wickem, it seems strange to me too,' said the priest. 'But Mr Joseph tells me that his father, or I should say his stepfather, made his wishes very clear when he was in good health. Clean earth and open air. You know, of course, the Squire had some strange ideas, though he never told me of this one. And there's another thing, Wickem. No coffin.'
'Oh dear, oh dear!' said Wickem. 'There'll be some talk about that. And I know that old Mr Wright has some lovely wood for the Squire's coffin—he's kept it for him for years.
'Well, 'said Dr Hall, 'those are the Squire's wishes, so I'm told, so that's what we must do. You must get the grave dug and everything ready by ten o'clock tomorrow night. Tell Wright that we shall need some lights.'
'Very well, sir. If those are the orders, I must do my best, 'said Wickem. 'Shall I send the women from the village to prepare the body?'
'No, Wickem. That was not mentioned,' said the priest. 'No doubt Mr Joseph will send for them if he wants them. You have enough work to do without that. Good night, Wick-em.' He paused. 'I was just writing out the year's burials in the church records. I didn't think that I'd have to add Squire Bowles'name to them.'
The Squire's burial took place as planned. All the villagers and a few neighbours were present, and the Squire's stepson Joseph walked behind the body as it was carried to the church-yard. In those days nobody expected the Squire's wife to come to the burial. The Squire had no family except his wife and stepson, and he had left everything to his wife.
But what was everything? The land, house, furniture, pictures, and sliver were all there, but no money was found. This was very strange. Squire Bowles was quite a rich man; he received plenty of money from his land every year, his lawyers were honest, but still there was no money. The Squire had not been mean with his money. His wife had all she needed, he sent Joseph to school and university, and he lived well. But still he earned more money than he spent. Where was it?
60.Who brought the news to the servant that Squire Bowles had died ?
A. the priest B. the clerk C. Dr. Hall D. Joseph
61.What was Dr. Hall’s reaction after he was told the news?
A. moved B. Angry C. disappointed D.amazed
62.Mr Joseph says Squire Bowles wanted to be buried _______.
A. in the family tomb with open air B. in the churchyard with coffin
C. an earth grave without coffin D. in the family tomb with clean earth
63.The priest asked Wickem to do several things except _______.
A. get the grave dug B. see him after ringing the bell
C.prepare the body D. tell Wright some lights are needed.
64.Which is not correct regarding Squire Bowles?
A. He had some strange ideas.
B. He had not been mean with his money.
C. He earned more money than he spent.
D. He had left furniture,money, and sliver to his wife.
65.According to the passage, we can infer that Joseph is _____________.
A. Mrs. Bowles’ son B.Mr. Bowles’ neighbor
C. Wickem’s servant D. Dr Hall’s stepson

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to increase taxes on cigarettes to persuade people to stop smoking. He shall bring up the current $10.50 minimum price for a pack of cigarettes to $13 in New York City.
De Blasio said ,“the goal of making New York the most expensive city in America to buy cigarettes is to reduce tobacco use. If people have to pay more, they might decide to stop smoking, or, even better, never start.”
The mayor is pushing a number of proposals. In addition to taxing more on cigarettes, he will limit the number of places selling tobacco products in New York. Under one proposal, drug stores also known as pharmacies shall not sell cigarettes.
Dr. Mary Bassett , New York City’s commissioner of health, said, “As a former smoker, I know how hard it is to quit. These bills will make it less likely that New Yorkers will start smoking and easier for New Yorkers who smoke to quit.”
New York is America’s largest city, with over 8.5 million residents. The city’s Health Department says the percentage of New Yorkers who smoke has dropped from 21.5 percent in 2002 to 14.3 percent in 2005.But that still leaves 900,000 smokers in the city. An estimated 15,000 of the city’s smokers are under age 18.What makess the mayor's proposal is that people will stop smoking if the cost is too high.
Those against the proposals said many people would continue to smoke and that some would be poorer or find places to get illegal cigarettes free of taxes.“Over time, it's proven again and again that these efforts will not take effect ultimately as people, minors included, turn more and more to the bootleggers,”said Audrey Silk. She is founder of NYC Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment.
But de Blasio said, “government should be morally responsible to discourage people from smoking, and higher prices have been shown to stop people from smoking. When it comes to New Yorker’s health, big tobacco is pubic enemy #1,” de Blasio said.
In 2016, voters in two American states -- California and Colorado -- voted on separate proposals to raises taxes on cigarettes. Voters in California reached an agreement that a $2 tax increase per pack of cigarettes would be put into effect. But voters in Colorado rejected a $1.75 tax increase.
The New York City Council will now decide whether or not to reject the anti-smoking measures offered by Mayor de Blasio.

A man bought a donkey at the market one day and took him home on approval（不满意可以退的）. Now the man owned several donkeys already and he knew each one's character very well. One of the donkeys was very strong and brave. Another was eager to please but quickly tired. One donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long. When the other animals were being loaded up, he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.
The man led the new donkey into the stable yard. For a moment he stood sniffing at his new companions. Then, without hesitation, he came up to the lazy donkey and began feeding comfortably at his side. Though it was late in the day, the man immediately led the new donkey out of the yard, straight back to the market.
"You cannot have given him a fair trial yet, "said the merchant. "It is only ten minutes since you bought him."
"I don't need to try him anymore," replied the man. "I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself. Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without donkeys like him."
