Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes, it caused the largest business damage in Texass history. The worst thing is Hannas destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines. According to Center Point Energy, Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers. Currently, more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark. Crews have worked 16-hour shifts to restore power to residents. Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal. Schools, restaurants, retail stores and gas stations are open. Smiles are back. But harder-hit places, including Galveston, will take much longer to recover. Hundreds of people are still missing, and coastal towns are a mess. Some ruins from storm have drifted south to other beaches in Texas. Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage. Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13. Many school supplies were destroyed. Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston, Texas. This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying.

No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones(黄酮类), substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure. Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神经病学) at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo Dr. Manson says its not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.28. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Smalls study? A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink. B. They were given capsules containing flavones. C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests. D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.29. Whats the similarity of the two experiments? A. Both use high-level flavones capsules. B. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments. C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments. D. The number of the subjects is the same.30. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.B. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory. C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory. D. To carry out the experiment further.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Its not necessary for us to eat chocolate. B. The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be. C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate. D. Its easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.DWeve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us. We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy. Over the years, there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones, portable desks to ones that change into shelves.However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk. The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule. If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning, but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call, the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course, the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk.When switching positions, the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up. If youre not ready to switch positions at that time, you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.The built-in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories youve burned. You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand. The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.All of that smart tech doesnt come cheap though. The M1 desk, which is the everyday model, runs a steep $2,990, while the more executive model with added features, the F1, goes for$4,190.While expensive, its worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks. Much like a good mattress(床垫), a good desk that works with you is worth the investment. Hopefully in a few years these smart, integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.32. The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_.A. help users with their work B. keep users moving all the timeC. get users to exercise while working D. remind users of their working schedule33. Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the desk?A. It can tell users when to change positions. B. It can track userschanges of positions.C. It can keep users in a fixed position. D. It can detect users health condition.34. Which of the following can best describe the desk?A. Productive but challenging. B. Convenient but unaffordable.C. Complex and impractical. D. Multi-functional and intelligent.35. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A. To spend money on such a desk is rewarding.B. We should get such a desk as soon as possible.C. It wont be long before the desk is widely used.D. Desks play a very important role in our daily life.第二节 （共10分，每题2分）根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(E涂AB,F涂AC,G涂AD.)EArticle writing has been a way of conveying information through the web.
