red,like one of the new versions from CoverGirl and Maybelline.Whenever you wear it, coworkers will come over to your desk and say things likeYour skin looks great!andYou look so happy!That might make you wonder,What do I usually look like?But itll also inspire you to wear a cheery pop of color on your cheeks for the next three months straight.THE TREND-FERMENTED EXTRACTS(发酵精华）Fermentation isnt new-the process of preserving natural componentshas been around for a thousand years-but its popularity in the beautyworld is just starting to bloom.And for good reason:Many fermented components have promising skin benefits.Estee Lauders brightening treatment features ferment,which fades dark spots and make skin lookmore toned.The updated version of La Mers famous eye cream has a fermented complex that improves dark circles and fine lines.THE GADGET-HAIR BRUSH Straightening your own hair is about to get a lot easier.Powered byelectricity,this brushs heated edges help you get close to the scalp(头皮）（great for short hair),and you dont need a separate brush or comb,and itstays at the exact temperature you choose so you dont overheat(read:damage)your hair.The result:Smooth hair is officially just a brush away.LIPSTICKS BUILT TO LAST-HERMES LIPSTICKS Who says an object cant be environmentally sound?The first try byHermes into the world of makeup is a responsible one:Rouge Hermes,its new line of lipsticks.56.If you have dark spots on your cheeks,which of the following can you choose according to the passage?A.The products from Maybelline.B.The products from Rouge Hermes.C.The products from La Mer.D.The products from Estee Lauder.57.During a power failure,which of the following may be of less use according to the passage?A.SPRING FLUSH.B.FERMENTED EXTRACTS.C.HAIR BRUSH.D.HERMES LIPSTICKS.BThose extra pounds should be avoided at all costs,right?Actually,while being overweight isnt generally good for our health,not all fat is created equal-some may even be beneficial.There are two major kinds of body fat.White fat,the most abundant type,is what you feel when you squeeze your midsection.Brown fat,found mainly in the neck region,burns energy rather than storing it the way white fat does.Brown fat may also help avoid diabetes.According to a study in Cell Metabolism,individuals with higher amounts of brown fat had smaller changes in blood sugar and thus a reduced risk of developing diabetes.Infants have high levels of brown fat,which helps regulate their body temperature.Sadly,we lose it as we age,and adults have only small amounts.Adults can increase brown fat by exposing themselves to cold temperatures.In a recent study, people who slept in a mildly cold room(about 66 degrees F)increased the amount and activity of their brown fat by up to 40 percent.Sleeping in mild warmth(81 degrees F),however,decreased their amount of brown fat.Cold showers dont seem to affect it.Brown fat does have its drawbacks.Radiologists dont like it,because the heat it causes makes it harder for body cans to detect activities in patients.Although theres no firm evidence that any specific foods or nutrients can activate brown fat,radiologists routinely recommend that patients eat a high-fat,low-carb diet before scans on the grounds that this reduces brown fat activation.Just as brown fat isnt perfect,neither is white fat all bad.Even though people tend to hate it,white fat delivers important health benefits.It protects our vital organs,helps keep us warm,and stores calories for later use,keeping us from starving when food is scarce.White fat can sometimes be turned into brown-its then called beige or brite (brown in white)fat.Like brown fat,beige fat burns energy and can thus help fight against obesity.Scientists are still trying to figure out how the change happens;one study points to a hormone called irisin, which our muscles produce when we exercise.Fat cells sensitivity to temperature changes means theres more than one way we can get rid of unwanted fat.Cooling treatments,for instance,freeze fat cells to death.The body removes these damaged cells over several months.58.Which of the following can replace the underlined wordmidsectionin the second paragraph?A.Leg. B.Arm. C.Wrist. D.Waist.59.Generally speaking,who have a larger proportion of brown fat? A.Babies. B.Senior people. C.Fat people. D.Thin people.60.The following kinds of fat can help people fight against obesity EXCEPT_A.Beige fat. B.Brite fat. C.White fat. D.Brown fat.CEvery Morning,Breanna Roque goes out to the farm to feed the cows.But this isnt your typical farm;its a laboratory,and Roque is a graduate researcher at the University of California,Davis.Shes been spending her time among the cows to see if she can adjust their diets so they burp （打嗝）less.The cows special diet includes small parts of a red seaweed.It contains a chemical combination,which prevents the production of CH4 during the cows digestion.Less CH4 means less burping.And less burping could mean slowing down climate change globally.Although agriculture accounts for a smaller percentage of total greenhouse gas production than sectors like transportation and energy,it produces more CH4,which warms the Earth up to 86 times as much as CO2.When cows eat,they burp food back up,producing CH4 as a byproduct. Researchers across the globe have been pursuing the idea that adding substances to feed might help reduce these CH4-loaded burps.But it wasnt until 2016 that researchers in Australia found that grass feed of 2 percent seaweed could cut CH4 productions by nearly 99 percent.In 2019,Roques team published the results of a similar study:They cut CH4 production 95 percent by adding to a typical U.S.dairy cow diet with just 5 percent seaweed.But questions remained about the seaweeds effectiveness in actual cow stomachs.So more researchers headed to the farm.They found that a diet of just 0.5 percent seaweed led to a 26-percent decrease in CH4.A 1-percent seaweed diet produced 67 percent less CH4.Further research is needed to fully understand why this seaweed in particular works best-and to see if adding seaweed to cows diets will affect the quality of the products coming from the animals.In the future,theyll run trials to see if seaweed gives cows milk an unpleasant taste or leaves steaks smelling of seafood.Researchers still need to ensure the seaweed combination,which is sensitive to heat and light,will be shelf-stable and remain effective in real-world applications.And even if the seaweed succeeds,CH4 from cattle accounts for just 5 percent of greenhouse gas production in the U.S.,so the overall picture wont improve much.Still,last August,researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,Australia, announced they would be trying to find ways to farm the seaweed on a large-enough scale to break into the cattle feed market.Roque says shes regularly contacted by annoying businessmen who want her help to mass produce the seaweed for global animal consumption.People reach out to me all the time,she says.Unfortunately,Im an animal biologist and not a sea biologist.61.What is the purpose of Roques research?A.To reduce global warming through cow feed.B.To enrich cattle diets with a special seaweed.C.To make food digestible in cowsstomachs.D.To reduce CH4 in the production of seaweed.62.According to Paragraph 2,the 2016 and 2019 studies were imperfect as they failed to find out _A.why CH4 was more harmful than CO2 in climate change B.which seaweed worked best in cutting CH4 productionC.whether seaweed would work in practical cow feedingD.what was the right proportion of seaweed in cows diets63.Future research will probably NOT deal with_A.how to grow seaweed on farmland economically B.how to bring out the best function of the seaweed C.how to prevent beef and milk from tasting weird D.how to lengthen the store time of seaweed feed 64. Roques response to the businessmen indicates that _A.she regrets not having studied seaweeds B.she is willing to offer more help to themC.she is negative about the cow feed market D.she is not interested in farming seaweedDWe were five minutes into a severe winter storm-approaching Bostons Logan International Airport-when I turned to the woman next to me and said,Hey,would you mind chatting with me for a few minutes?My seatmate seemed friendly and I suddenly felt desperate for a human connection.Sure.My name is Sue,the woman replied,smiling warmly.What brings you
