So, you know, it is what it is, but Americans are totally annoyed by the use of “whatever” in conversations. The popular term of indifference (不感兴趣) was found most annoying in conversations by 47 percent of the Americans surveyed in a Marist College poll on Wednesday.“Whatever” easily beat out “you know”, which especially annoyed a quarter of interviewers. The other annoying expressions were anyway(at 7 percent), “it is what it is” (11percent) and “at the end of the day”(2 percent).Whatever is an expression with staying power. It left everyone a deep impression in the song by Nirvana (“oh well, whatever, never mind”）in 1991 and was popularized by the Valley Girls in the film “Clueless”, later that decade. It is still commonly used, often by younger people.It can be a common argument-ender or a signal of indifference. And it can really be annoying. The poll found whatever to be consistently(始终地) disliked by Americans regardless of their race, sex, age, income or where they live.“It doesnt surprise me because whatever，is in a special class, probably, said Michael Adams, author of “Slang(俚语)The Peoples Poetry and an associate professor of English at Indiana University. Its a word that -and it depends on how a speaker uses it -can suggest being not worthy of attention or respect.” Adams, who didnt take part in the poll and is not annoyed by whatever, points out that its use is not always negative. “It can also be used in place of other neutral(中性的）phrases that have fallen out of favor, like six of one, half dozen of the other ” he said. However, he also noted that the negative meaning of the word might explain why “whatever” was judged more annoying than the ever-popular “you know”.56. Which tops second among the annoying expression according to the passage?A. Whatever.B. You know.C. Anyway. D. It is what it is.57. What can we know about the word whatever?A. It became popular because of Nirvana.B. It can be commonly used at the beginning of an agreement.C. Old people like it while young people dont.D. Almost half of the Americans surveyed disliked it.58. In Adams opinion, the reason why “whatever”, was judged more annoying may be that_.A. most of the people dont like itB. it can be used in place of other neutral phrasesC. it carries certain negative meaning sometimesD. the poor dont like it59. Which of the following statements is true?A. Adams is not only a writer but also a professor.B. “Whatever” is a signal of concern.C. Adams is angry at the word “whatever”.D. Whatever will be replaced by You know”.BFun dayOrganised by Lam Tin Youth Center and Kwun Tong High SchoolDate: 2 February 2013Time: 10 am-5 pmPlace: Kwun Tong PlaygroundFee:$20(buy three get one free)Programmes: drama, lion, dance, magic show and ballet performance Highlights:1) enter the lucky draw to win a digital camera 2) learn to make festival foodJoin us on the Fun Day!All are welcome!Note:Tickets are available at the General Office of lam Tin Youth Center.For those who would like to be a volunteer, please contact Miss Olivia Wong one week before the activity.Free soft drinks60.

They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mices belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long- term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the bodys nervous system.However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato fellows.Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose teams findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, Im still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs. Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, Its not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities. Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; its equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital. 63. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?A. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.B. It doesnt take long to turn white fat into brown.C. Social excitement helps gain more weight. D. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.64. Which of the following statement does the text support?A. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.B. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.C. The research findings havent been published so far.D. Dr Matthew During wasnt convinced of the result.65. We can conclude from the text that_.A. the fat in mices belly was reduced because of the relaxing environmentB. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence peoples social lifeC. surfing the Internet may influence peoples face-to-face communicationD. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life66. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Brown fat is beneficial to peoples health.B. Socializing is unnecessarily important in peoples daily life.C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.D. Socializing contributes to peoples losing weight. DDeputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across Americas farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of useless college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldnt be anything thats more incorrect, Merrigan said. We know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.“I truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows, said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Fanners of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21 -year-old Best hopes his message-that this is a new time in agriculture-will motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics. “Never before have we had the innovations ( 创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been.” he said. “Theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”67. What is the new challenge to American agriculture? A. Fewer and older farmers. B. Higher fuel prices. C. More natural disasters. D. Lower agricultural output.68. Why is Me
