everyday living and will not need help. how much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. a physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. the relation between height and weight is called the body mass index. a taller person can be heavier and still be fit. if a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health. mental health refers to a persons emotional and psychological well-being. a state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling)

twenty-something is that every decision you make can change the rest of your life. once youre in your 30s or 40s, it gets harder and harder to reinvent yourself. so i made an interview with dr. meg jay, the clinical psychologist. he explains why the twenties matter, and how to make the most of them. in dr. meg jays opinion, our 20s are the defining decade of adulthood. 80% of lifes most important moments take place by about age 35. and 2/3 of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. more than half of americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. personality can change more during our 20s than at any other decade in life. female fertility(生育能力) peaks at 28. the brain caps off (结束) its last major growth. when it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. dont be defined by what you didnt know or didnt do.on the other hand, i also ask him how the 20s track their progress toward their future goals and whether milestones like 21 and 30 are really important. dr. meg jay think it absolutely important. milestones-21, 25, 30, new years, birthdays, reunions-are important because they cause self-reflection. what he mentioned are as follows: am i where i wanted to be by this age? did i do what i said i would do this year? if not, why not. and if not now, when? a 20-year-old girl who interviewed me recently told me about a question she was advised to ask herself as she moved through adulthood: if you keep living your life exactly as it is, where will you be in 3 years? if you dont like the answer, now is the time to change course.surely the 20s are for experimenting, but not just with philosophies(人生观) and vacations and substances(物质). the 20s are your best chance to experiment with jobs and relationships. then each move can be more intentional and more informed than the last.31. once you make a decision in your 20s,

of them. b. the 20s can change the rest of your life.c. the 20s are milestones to reach their future goals.d. the 20s are the best chance to experiment.【答案】a【解析】主旨大意题。答案重点在第一段可找到，但各段都按这个中心展开。20多岁是非常重要的，应如何充分利用它，故选a。cnowadays, there is a heated debate on whether pollutants should be cleaned in the air. cleaning up the air, while good for our lungs, could make global warming worse. and the pollutants still go up around the air, along with carbon dioxide.these pollutants are called aerosols (气溶粒) and they include soot as well as mixtures of nitrogen(氮) and sulfur(硫) and other stuff into the air. natalie mahowald, a climate researcher at cornell university, says so far, scientists have mostly tried to understand what those aerosols do while theyre actually in the air.there are so many different kinds of aerosols, she says. some warm and some cool. but in fact, humans are giving out a lot of extra aerosols, and they tend to cool for the most part.the aerosols reflect sunlight back into space, or keep us cool. but it turns out thats not all they do. these aerosols also influence how much carbon dioxide gets drawn out of the air by plants on land and in the sea.they can add nutrients, for example, to the oceans or to the land, mahowald says. but also while theyre in the atmosphere they can change the climate, and thus that also can influence the amount of carbon, the land or the ocean can take up. so there are quite a few different ways that aerosols can act on each other.mahowalds results suggest that reducing those pollutants could be an even bigger problem than realized, when you consider that aerosols help remove carbon dioxide from the air by encouraging plant growth. hard numbers on this effect are highly uncertain at the moment, but this could turn out to be quite significant.and studying it is not easy because the effects arent well understood. for example, nitrogen can be a fertilizer (肥料), but it can stop plant growing when nitrogen comes out of the air in acid form. right now it seems like were much more likely to clean up aerosol pollution, while increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. so scientists, unfortunately, may have a chance to see whether this experiment on our planet should continue or not.36. from paragraph 2, we know that .a. scientists have been aware of how aerosols workb. natalie mahowald is an expert in climatec. cleaning up the air is so populard. pollutants are under control so far【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。由第二段第二句natalie mahowald的同位语a climate researcher at cornell university可知natalie mahowald是一个气候专家，故选b。37. what is natalie mahowalds opinion on those aerosols?a. aerosols can influence each other in various ways.b. all the aerosols will cool the earth.c. aerosols can add nutrients to human beings. d. any kind of aerosols will warm the earth.【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。由第三段some warm and some cool得知，bd选项错误, 与some不符。从第五段的to the oceans，得知c也不对。由第五段最后一句aerosols can act on each other气溶粒可以以不同的方式相互影响，故选a。38. why is it important for scientists to get accurate numbers according to the passage? a. scientists have a chance to research them.b. they can bring scientists much more benefit.c. scientists can protect the earth from being pollutedd. they can help scientists understand the effects better. 【答案】d【解析】推理判断题。从第六段最后一句和第七段开头句可推出d正确。其他选项与题目没有直接的因果关系。它们能帮科学家更好地理解影响，故选d。39. what does the last sentence of the passage imply?a. scientists will be in a dilemma.b. the experiment will be successful.c. scientists will carry out the experiment.d. scientists have difficulty in the experiment. 【答案】a【解析】词义猜测题。从第七段开头句和第八段最后一句should continue or not应不应该进行。说明研究的左右为难。故a最合适。而d选项属于事实题，不是暗示推理题。科学家左右为难，故选a。40. which of the following can be the best title of this passage?a. pollutants in the air.b. the experiment on the planetc. the reason for global warming d. the influence of aerosols 【答案】d【解析】标题归纳题。全文以aerosols为中心，说明它的影响。故d正确。其他选项要么范围太大要么太小，不够全面。气溶粒的影响，故选d。d if youre someone who is eager to do something beyond the ordinary, you must have figured out by now that there will always be those who are jealous or resentful(怨恨) of your success. it doesnt matter that youve worked long and hard to get where you are, nor that youve made great sacrifices in achieving your goals. the haters will always find a reason to speak ill of you and even condemn you. theyre spiteful (恨的) people who envy you the pride you have in yourself and the recognition youre receiving from others. they cant stand it that youre happy, fulfilled and achieving your goals. these hateful individuals are unwilling to do the work that youve done. they hate your success but are too lazy to invest real time or energy in achieving their own goals. the thing you need to know about these haters is that the only reason they behave this way is that you have something they want, but they arent willing to work for it. the haters are convinced that youve been lucky or that youve had some unfair advantage, but the truth is that your success is born of your untiring efforts, and its these efforts that have brought about your luck. the best way to deal with haters is what i call the one-two punch. first, dont let them hurt you. be happy about your success and proud of your accomplishments. company with those who approve you, recognize you and support you, and never doubt that you deserve all the success. the haters are angry, jealous people. what they think or say is meaningless. next, the more the haters annoy you, the more you should be motivated to succeed. they want to ruin you, but your response should be to work that much harder in order to increase your level of success. when your reaction to their bad behavior has inspired you to achieve further success, youve transformed the haters negativity
