No one could have known it would end in tragedy.When the group arrived at the starting point for the hike, they found out there was a problem with their permit. To solve it, the five boys and three leaders walked back up to the ranger station (护林站） only to find out it was closed.When the boys got moving, theyd already drunk most of their water. In the burning sun, temperatures reached a 115F. Even the leaders were having trouble walking on. But the group finally made it down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Heat evil was occurring. My son made it about 100 yards from the river and then dropped, says his father, Robin. Two boys of them raced to the river to get him water. When the boys arrived, the last rafting(筏运) trip of the day was passing by. As luck would have it, among the waiting riders were a few doctors.

However, it turns out that not everyone is a fan of them.On Sept 6, an article published by Xinhua News Agency described some male stars as too effeminate.This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester, an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students, which aired on Sept 1. Afterwards, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children.The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly due to the influence of Japanese and South Korean pop culture, Fan Xiaoqing, an expert on South Korean movies at the Communication University of China, told China Daily.However, the “femininity” of males isnt a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern dynasties, especially among aristocrats and scholars, according to China Daily.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while.In July, Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse said during the singing reality show China New Singing he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars. “It isnt that theyre not good, but we should discover ourselves, rather than imitate. Men should get their hormones back,” he said during the show.His opinion was shared by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said during the Shanghai International Film Festival in June 2017.However, others have a more open mind toward this phenomenon. “Its stereotypical（刻板的)to think all male stars should be masculine, like Jackie Chan. As society diversifies, there are more options for fans to choose from,” Liang Yurou, 19, a college student from Fujian province, told China Daily.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural. “Its only a central issue temporarily and will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, this doesnt mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily.Dengs opinion was echoed by the Peoples Daily. “A mans strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities not their physical appearance.” it wrote.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. CCTV was widely praised for inviting several young, effeminate male stars.B. Effeminate male stars become popular totally because of the influence of Japanese and South Korean pop culture.C. It is a whole new social phenomenon that being effeminate was popular among Chinese men.D. Some parents are opposed to the popularity of “small, fresh meat”.29. Nicholas Tse and Feng Xiaogang are against the popularity of effeminate male stars mainly because they think .A. the effeminate male stars are not good.B. the effeminate male stars should be more manly.C. there should be more choices for fans to choose from.D. the effeminate male stars have a bad influence on their children.30. Which of the following proverbs is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Dont judge a book by its cover.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. No pains, no gains.D. Seeing is believing.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Feminine men raise a storm of objectionB. Feminine men win popularityC. Feminine men cause hot debatesD. Feminine men will be a ting of the pastDIt is normal to feel a little sleepy after eating lunch. Some people believe that there is a significant shift in blood flow from the brain to the stomach. Although this sounds plausible, it doesnt really make much sense. If this were the case, why wouldnt we feel sleepy after having a large breakfast or after dinner?People may argue that there are some elements that cause sleepiness within food. They think there are some foods that may make you feel a little sleepy. In addition, they believe drinking alcohol may also cause sleepiness. In most cases, this is not what contributes to sleepiness after lunch, however.In fact, it has more to do with the natural timing of an increasing tendency towards sleep. There are two phenomena that contribute to this: the sleep drive and the circadian rhythm(生理节奏) .The sleep drive is due to the gradual build-up of a chemical within the brain called adenosine. The longer a person stays awake, the more adenosine accumulates, leading to an increasing desire for sleep. This reaches its peak right before bedtime, but it is also higher in the afternoon compared to the morning.The second process that contributes indirectly to sleepiness is the circadian rhythm. It is actually the pattern of an alert signal. It increases throughout the day to keep us awake and act against the increasing levels of adenosine. There is a dip (下降 ) in this pattern in the early afternoon, typically 7-9 hours after waking up. When the alerting signal dips, the potential sleepiness shows itself, and we feel sleepy.To deal with the sleepiness that occurs in the early afternoon, you can use caffeine or even take a short nap. Fortunately, if you tough it out, this period will pass and you will find that you feel more alert again in a matter of hours.32. What does the underlined word “plausible” probably mean in Paragraph 1?A. ConsistentB. SignificantC. ReasonableD. Attractive33. What do we know about adenosine from the passage?A.It is what makes us feel sleepy.B.It reached its highest point at noon.C.It is a feeling of our physical condition.D.It controls the speed of circadian rhythm.34. Whats the relationship between the circadian rhythm and adenosine?A.They cooperate with each other.B.The two have no direct relationship. C.The two perform the same function.D.The former helps lower the level of the latter.35. Whats the structure of the passage?A.Problemreasonsuggestion.B.Argumentdatameasure.C. AssumptionproofconclusionD.
