20、e"Your skin looksgreat!"and"Youlook so happy!"That might make you wonder,"What do I usually look like?"But it'll also inspire you to wear a cheery pop of color on yourcheeks for the next three months straight.THE TREND-FERMENTED EXTRACTS（發(fā)酵精華）Fermentation isn't

26、ually,while being overweight isn'tgenerally good for our health,not all fat is created equal-some may even be beneficial.There are two major kinds of body fat.White fat,the most abundant type,is what you feel when you squeeze your midsection.Brown fat,found mainly in the neck region,burns energy

27、 rather than storing it the way white fat does.Brown fat may also help avoid diabetes.According to a study in Cell Metabolism,individuals with higher amounts of brown fat had smaller changes in blood sugar and thus a reduced risk of developing diabetes.Infants have high levels of brown fat,which hel

28、ps regulate their body temperature.Sadly,we lose it as we age,and adults have only small amounts.Adults can increase brown fat by exposing themselves to cold temperatures.In a recent study,people who slept in a mildly cold room(about 66 degrees F)increased the amount and activity of their brown fat

29、by up to 40 percent.Sleeping in mild warmth(81 degrees F),however,decreased their amount of brown fat.Cold showers don't seem to affect it.Brown fat does have its drawbacks.Radiologists don't like it,because the heat it causes makes it harder for body cans to detect activities in patients.Al

30、though there's no firm evidence that anyspecific foods or nutrients can activate brown fat,radiologists routinely recommend that patients eat a high-fat,low-carb diet before scans on the grounds that this reduces brown fat activation.Just as brown fat isn't perfect,neither is white fat all b

31、ad.Even though people tend to hate it, white fat delivers important health benefits.It protects our vital organs,helps keep us warm,and stores calories for later use,keeping us from starving when food is scarce.White fat can sometimes be turned into brown-it's then called beige or brite("br

32、own inwhite")fat.Like brown fat,beige fat burns energy and can thus help fight against obesity.Scientists are still trying to figure out how the change happens;one study points to a hormone called irisin,which our muscles produce when we exercise.Fat cells'sensitivity to temperature changes

33、 means there's more than one way we can get rid of unwanted fat.Cooling treatments,for instance,freeze fat cells to death.The body removes thesedamaged cells over several months.58 .Which of the following can replace the underlined word"midsection"in the second paragraph? A.Leg.B.Arm.C

34、.Wrist.D.Waist.59 .Generally speaking,who have a larger proportion of brown fat?A.Babies.B.Senior people.C.Fat people.D.Thin people.60 .The following kinds of fat can help people fight against obesity EXCEPT_ A.Beige fat.B.Brite fat.C.White fat.D.Brown fat.CEvery Morning,Breanna Roque goes out to th

35、e farm to feed the cows.But this isn't your typical farm;it's a laboratory,and Roque is a graduate researcher at the University of California,Davis.She's been spending her time among the cows to see if she can adjust their diets so they burp (打嗝) less.The cows'special diet includes s

36、mall parts of a red seaweed.It contains a chemicalcombination,which prevents the production of CH4 during the cows'digestion.Less CH4 means less burping.And less burping could mean slowing down climate change globally.Although agriculture accounts for a smaller percentage of total greenhouse gas

37、 production thansectors like transportation and energy,it produces more CH4,which warms the Earth up to 86 times as much as CO2.When cows eat,they burp food back up,producing CH4 as a byproduct.Researchers across the globe have been pursuing the idea that adding substances to feed might help reduce

38、these CH4-loaded burps.But it wasn't until 2016 that researchers in Australia found that grass feed of 2 percent seaweed could cut CH4 productions by nearly 99 percent.In 2019,Roque's team published the results of a similar study:They cut CH4 production 95 percent by adding to a typical U.S.

39、dairy cow diet with just 5 percent seaweed.But questions remained about the seaweed's effectiveness in actual cow stomachs.So more researchers headed to the farm.They found that a diet of just 0.5 percent seaweed ledto a 26-percent decrease in CH4.A 1-percent seaweed diet produced 67 percent les

40、s CH4.Further research is needed to fully understand why this seaweed in particular works best-and to see ifadding seaweed to cows'diets will affect the quality of the products coming from the animals.In thefuture,they'll run trials to see if seaweed gives cow's milk an unpleasant taste

41、or leaves steaks smelling of seafood.Researchers still need to ensure the seaweed combination,which is sensitive to heat and light,will be shelf-stable and remain effective in real-world applications.And even if the seaweedsucceeds,CH4 from cattle accounts for just 5 percent of greenhouse gas produc

42、tion in the U.S.,sothe overall picture won't improve much.Still,last August,researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,Australia,announced they would be trying to find ways to farm the seaweed on a large-enough scale to break into the cattle feed market.Roque says she'

43、s regularly contacted by annoying businessmen who want her help to mass produce the seaweed for global animal consumption."People reach out to meall the time,"she says."Unfortunately,I'm an animal biologist and not a sea biologist."61 .What is the purpose of Roque's resea

44、rch?A.To reduce global warming through cow feed.B.To enrich cattle diets with a special seaweed.C.To make food digestible in cows'stomachs.D.To reduce CH4 in the production of seaweed.62 .According to Paragraph 2,the 2016 and 2019 studies were imperfect as they failed to find outA.why CH4 was mo

45、re harmful than CO2 in climate changeB.which seaweed worked best in cutting CH4 productionC.whether seaweed would work in practical cow feedingD.what was the right proportion of seaweed in cows'diets63.Future research will probably NOT deal withA.how to grow seaweed on farmland economicallyB.how

46、 to bring out the best function of the seaweedC.how to prevent beef and milk from tasting weirdD.how to lengthen the store time of seaweed feed64. Roque's response to the businessmen indicates that _A.she regrets not having studied seaweedsB.she is willing to offer more help to themC.she is nega

47、tive about the cow feed marketD.she is not interested in farming seaweedDWe were five minutes into a severe winter storm-approaching Boston's Logan International Airport-when I turned to the woman next to me and said,"Hey,would you mind chatting with mefor a few minutes?"My seatmate se

48、emed friendly and I suddenly felt desperate for a human connection."Sure.My name is Sue,"the woman replied,smiling warmly."What brings you toBoston?"Istarted to explain that I was on a business trip.Then the plane trembled violently,and I blurted out, " I might need to hold

49、your hand too."Sue took my hand in both of hers,patted it,and held on tight.Sometimes a stranger can significantly improve our day. A pleasant meeting withsomeone we don't know,even an unspoken exchange,can calm us when no one else is around.It may get us out of our own heads-a proven mood

50、lifter-and help broaden our vision.Sandstrom,apsychologist and senior lecturer at the University of Essex,has found that people's moods improveafter they have a conversation with a stranger.And yet most of us resist talking to people we don'tknow or barely know. We worry about how to start,

51、maintain,or stop it.We think we will keep talking and disclose too much,or not talk enough.We are afraid we will bore the other person.We're typically wrong. In a study in which Sandstrom asked participants to talk to at least one stranger a day for five days,99 percent said they had found at le

52、ast one of the exchanges pleasantly surprising,82 percent said they'd learned something from one of the strangers,43 percent had exchanged contact information,and 40 percent had communicated with one of the strangers again.(3) Multiple studies show that people who interact regularly with passing

53、 acquaintances or who engage with others through community groups,religious gatherings,or volunteer opportunities have better emotional and physical health and live longer than those who do not.One person took up the cello after chatting with a woman on the subway who was carrying one.Another recall

54、ed how the smile of a fruit salesman from whom he regularly bought bananas made him feelless lonely after he'd first arrived in a new city.When Sue took my hand on that scary flight to Boston,I almost wept with relief. " Hey,this is a little bumpy,but we will be on the ground safely soon,&q

55、uot;she told me.She looked so encouraging,and confident.I asked her what she did for a living."I'm a retired physical education teacher,and I coached women's volleyball,"she said.Immediately,I could see what an awesome coach she must have been.When we said goodbye,I gave Sue a big

56、hug and my card.A few days later,I received ane-mail with the subject line"Broken hand on Jet Blue.""I have to admit that I was just as scared as you were but did not say it,"Sue wrote."I just squeezed your hand as hard as I could.Thank you for helping me through this very s

57、cary situation."She added that when she'd told her friends about our conversation,they teased her because they know she loves to talk.I told my friends about Suetoo.I explained how kind she was to me,and what I learned:It's OK to ask for help from a stranger if you need it. Now if I men
