road in northern sweden. he survived for two months without food by eating handfuls of snow. but how long can people go without food?skyllberg had been inside the car since 19 december, 2011. experts believe its possible for the human body to survive without food for up to two months. last year, a 56-year-old woman from british columbia survived nearly 50 days in the nevada wilderness on sweets and water after being stranded in the mountains while her husband went in search of help.in fact therere many causes that can influence a persons ability to survive, such as the way the bodys metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down to keep energy. when the body stops getting food, it has to live on the stored sugars. when this runs out, fat is then turned into the second energy supply. after the fat runs out, the body must take recycled protein from the system and finally from the muscles. but this is very expensive fuel for the body. its like being in a cold house and burning furniture instead of firewood. however, the muscle loss slows the bodys work, causing it to burn calories at a slower rate.being trapped into a small space would have helped skyllberg keep precious calories. the car was covered in snow, creating what some experts have described as an “igloo effect” on the car.a persons mental state can play a key role in how long they survive, according to stephen joseph, a professor at the university of nottingham. “in dangerous situations survival depends on personalities. some might lose hope, while others are more hopeful.” says joseph. “hope is probably a big key to this.”61.the underlined word “stranded” in paragraph 2 means _.a. trappedb. worriedc. attackedd. frightened62.which of the following shows the right order of human body getting energy when there is no food?a. stored sugarsrecycled proteinfatb. recycled proteinfatstored sugarsc. fatrecycled proteinstored sugarsd. stored sugarsfatrecycled protein63.what may partly lead to peter skyllbergs survival of two months according to the text?a. enough food. b. fast metabolism.c. low temperature. d. high spirits.bthe old-world sightseeing opportunities are breathtaking, but your children would much rather

saturday and mom colored eggs. mom boiled a few dozen eggs and while they cooled, dennis, diane and i gathered supplies. we dropped some color powder in each of six bowls, added boiling water and vinegar, and then mixed them together. before using a spoon to carefully dip an egg into one of the pretty colors, id grab a crayon and neatly print “darlene” on one egg. dennis and diane followed suit. that way, when we hunted on easter morning wed be sure to get the right basket.being 8-years-old, i was an easter veteran (老手), but i was quick to remind younger sister diane of the rules: first, if you find someone elses basket quietly put it back and continue the hunt. second, if your basket isnt found by fifteen minutes before church you have to continue looking after church.that year i was the un-lucky looker who didnt find her basket before church so i spent the whole hour at st marys plotting my hunt.the next easter was a different story since i was lucky enough to find my basket first. i was jumping up and down and glancing at the big chocolate rabbit in my basket when mom and dad told us to get dressed. i proudly left my basket in the sun porch before heading out the door. after church my siblings ran ahead but i was content to walk between mom and dad since id already found my basket and huge chocolate rabbit. as i skipped up the porch steps i figured dennis found his too since he was 1aughing his head off.“hungry for chocolate soup?” dennis laughed. “chocolate soup?” i was surprised. one look at dennis pointed finger made me realize my beautifu1 chocolate rabbit was now chocolate puddle (胶土). it was really one of my great childhood easter memories.67.different names were written on the colored eggs so that _.a. the eggs looked more

the writerd. laugh at the writerdbicycle lights may not exactly be a problem that needs solving, but the following can be said about most of themtheyre easily stolen if left on an unattended bike. people riding at dusk can forget to turn them on, and those same people can forget to turn them off when they reach their destination. well, the makers of the blink/steady bike light have set out to address(解决) all of those shortcomings.the waterproof blink/steady is so far only available as a tail light, although a head light is on the way. its fixed onto the bikes seat post. a built-in photosensor (感光器) tells when its become dark enough for the light to be required, and allows it to come on once you begin the riding. according to the producers, it isnt fooled by things such as headlights or streetlights. the light also contains an accelerometer, also known as a motion (移动) sensor, which can tell when the bike is in motion.between the two sensors, this means the light will come on only once its dark enough, and the bike is moving. even when stopped at red lights, the small movements of the rider will reportedly be enough to keep the light activateditll go out after 30 seconds of com
