than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels they use. most live in africa, india and china. they use wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. these solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. but they are also a major cause of health problems and death. the aprovecho research center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. people having less money use wood or biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. its estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas. the group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. they have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on the top to put a pot. in the late 1970s, aprovecho produced a popular stove called the lorena. the lorena was good at reducing smoke and warming homes. but new tests years later found that it was not efficient. the lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and it took much longer to heat food. since then, they have experimented with countless other designs. their goal is to make an inexpensive stovelets say five dollarsthat makes little smoke, and its safe for health and reduces global warming and deforestation(采伐森林) aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in china. the company is making aprovechos first mass produced stoves. they are said to use 40%50% less wood than an open fire, and produce 50%70% less smoke. a company called stovetec is selling them

working at night to improve their grades might want to sleep on that strategy: a new survey in the us says those who never study all night have slightly higher grades than those who do. a survey of 120 students at st.lawrence university found that students who had never pulled an allnighter on average had higher grades than those who had. the survey found those who did not study through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for those who did. the study, by assistant professor of psychology pamela thacher, is to be included in the january issue of behavioral sleep medicine. “its not a big difference，but its pretty striking, ” thacher said, “i am primarily a sleep researcher and i know nobody thinks clearly at 400 in the morning. you think you can do，but you cant.” many college students, of course, have inadequate or irregular sleep, for reasons ranging from excessive caffeine to poor time management. “a lot of students were under the impression that allnighters were a very useful tool for accomplishing work, and that caffeine intake was very useful in meeting deadlines and stuff like that, ”said mr chatani, who had a 3.4 grade point average last term. dr howard weiss, a physician at st.peters sleep center in albany, said the study results made sense. “certainly that data is out there showing that short sleep duration absolutely interferes with concentration and performance on objective testing, ”he said. “some night owls do get good grades, of course，which may be explained by circadian (昼夜节律的，生理节奏的) rhythms, ”weiss said, “some people have different 24hour body clocks from others, and may do better depending on classes and testing time.”50. the purpose of the passage is to tell us_. a. the bad effects of pulling an allnighterb.pulling an allnighter leads to sleep problemsc. thachers doubt about allnightersd. allnighters influence students grades51. according to thachers study，around 4 oclock in the morning is a time when _.a. one can think more clearlyb. one has his/her best memoryc. one cant learn efficientlyd. ones brain falls into a period of deep sleep52. what can we know from dr howard weiss words？a. thachers study is not convincing enough.b. he believes in thachers study.c. thachers study makes no sense. d.thacher should take exceptions into consideration.53. which of the following is true?a. chatani is a student who benefits from pulling all-nighters.b. a short sleep has nothing to do with concentration.c. caffeine intake is a useful way to accomplish work.d. not all night owls get bad grades.54. an all-nighter in the passage refers to _.a. a habit of accomplishing work by skipping whole nights sleep.b. a drink to keep people awake all nightc. a person who falls into the habit of working at nightd. a way to improve ones grades by working deep into the night.dok, i said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. whats going on with you and your friend j.? j. is

her. “how would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasnt your fault?” i began. “she could stop eating so much,” lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years its not always that easy,” i said. “everyones different in terms of how they treat food”lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. i opened my mouth, then closed it. should i tell her that, in teasing a womans weight, shes joined the long, proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with youre ugly and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does？should i tell her i didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “im sorry, but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?” does she need to know, now, that life isnt fair? i feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer i dont have. words are my toolsstories are my jobits possible shell remember what i say forever, and i have no idea what to say. so i tell her the only thing i can come up with that is absolutely truei say to my daughter, “i love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. but im disappointed in you right now. there are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. what she looks like isnt one of them.” lucy nods, tears on her cheeks.“i wont say that again,”she tells me，and i pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. we are both quiet, and i dont know if i have said the right thing. so as we sit there together, shoulder to shoulder, i pray for her to be smarti pray for her to be strong. i pray for her to find friends，work she loves, a partner who loves her, and for the world not to deprive（剥夺）her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy, and for her to have the strength to handle it when its not. and still, always，i pray that she will never struggle as ive struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. she may not be able to use the word in our home, but i can use it in my head. i pray that she will never get fat55. the underlined sentence
