10、es and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning, good brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “tha
11、t human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity. Researchers are now working on ways t
12、o “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and
13、 more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（适应性发热）in fat cells from mice. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mi
14、ce, showed evidence of white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldnt be long before it was us

Without you, there are only emptiness and desert in my life.” This is a line from a heartfelt poem Feng Duan
18、 wrote to his fiancee Chen Lianfang in 1955.Feng is now 94 and Chen 90, and they have been married for more than half a century. Feng, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, may not be a professional poet but for 64 years, Feng has written countless love poems to his wife. On every importan
19、t anniversary or festival, Feng would send a poem to Chen. In 1978, when Chens cancer surgery succeeded, Feng created more than ten poems to celebrate his wifes recovery. Chen used a red suitcase to store these love poems. The academic has also translated many English, French and German poems into c
20、lassical Chinese.The couple was introduced to each other by a common friend in 1953 and Feng sent two paper copies of poems to Chen as a gift.“As long as I think of you, a beam of sunshine lights up my heart,” Feng wrote.Chen recalled the first time Feng invited her to his dormitory to have a cup of
21、 tea and she thought the cup was made of frosted glass. As the two became closer, Chen often visited the academics dorm. She realized that the cup was the only one poor Feng owned. The opaque (不透明的) cup was not frosted glass but common glass stained with toothpaste.Later she bought many clothes and
22、even a stove for Feng, making a nice change from the single man s life. Fengs marriage to Chen brought more happiness and now Chen still looks after Fengs daily needs.25When Feng first met Chen, he was .A32B30C28D2626What change did Chen bring to Feng?AChen made a great difference to Fengs daily lif

25、 (卖花女, 1913) in which people are judged by the way they talk is something that only existed in the days of British high society. But thanks to etiquette (礼仪) expert and author William Hanson, we realize that little has changed during the past 100 years.In a BBC radio program, Hanson released a list
26、of common words used in British English that could reveal whether a person is “common” or “fashionable”.And yet here comes the interesting part: While some of us might go through life using fancy words, dressing in ways that make us appear more well-off than we really are, there are wealthy people i
27、n the world who try to hide their riches because they want to be seen as “normal” instead of “showy”.Beatrice, for example, is a New Yorker who inherited (继承) millions of dollars. She told The New York Times that she has a habit of removing the price tags (价签) from her clothes so her house staff don
28、t see them and feel uncomfortable.“We dont want that Wow.” said Scott, also a New Yorker, who had just inherited over $50 million. “Were just not the type of people who wear it on our sleeve.”29What does William Hanson find?APeople failed to judge others manner.BPeople judge others by their way of t

30、 fashion sense.BTo change peoples attitude to rich people.CTo pretend to be normal.DTo avoid making people around her uncomfortable.32What does “it” in the last sentence mean?AThe price tag.BThe brand label.CThe inheritance contract.DThe Times magazine.Nine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I
31、was a director at a company in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasnt completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.So, 40 plus years of employment
32、was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is
33、called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.Five years later, Im delighted and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful p
34、artner, and weve won more than 20 awards for the work that weve done.And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs(企业家)who are my age. I want to connect with them.So I want to do something about that i

38、enior entrepreneurs.The “Take In” restaurant in Helsinki, Finland, is currently in the news for its ingenious(有独创性)service. Instead of cooking the meals in its own kitchenwhich doesnt existit allows customers to order various dishes from a selection of 20 other restaurants in the city.Sponsored by A
39、merican Express and Wolt, a popular food delivery app, Take In is a pop-up(突然出现的) restaurant that opened at the beginning of November 2016, and will run through May 2, this year.As youve probably already guessed, the name “Take In” is a clever play on words like take-out. The whole point of ordering
40、 take-out is to avoid going to a restaurant, and if youre going to dress up to go out, you might as well go straight to your favorite restaurant instead of ordering food from it somewhere else. But heres the idea behind itwhen you go out with a group of friends and you cant decide where to go for di
41、nner, because everyone wants to order something else, Take In is the perfect solution.“We want to be a living room in the city,” a Wolt spokesperson told Monocle magazine. “We all know what its like youre about to go out for dinner with a big group of friends. Everyone wants to order what they like.
42、 What are you going to do? Well, the answer in Helsinki right now is you come to Take In because you can do all of those things in the same place.”Customers are more than welcome to stick to the selection of drinks available at the bar. But if they want to try the “take in” experience, all they have
43、 to do is use the Wolt app, just as they would from the comfort of their own homes. Once they order and pay for their meals, all they have to do is wait for someone to deliver it to the pop-up restaurant.37What does the text mainly tell about?AAmerican Express and Wolt.BThe “Take In” restaurant in H

45、estaurant?AIt has been run for more than two years.BIt will replace “Take out” restaurants soon.CYou should use the Wolt app.DYou can enjoy the service in your own living-room.三、完形填空Sometimes you meet an ordinary person doing something extraordinary.
