He planted vegetables，fruit trees and even kept bees for honey And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained（抱怨） about the terrible smell，Dad said the stronger the manure，the healthier the crops, and he was rightFor example, just one of his cantaloupes（甜瓜） filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables，he announced（宣称） he was going to make stew（炖菜）. Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve (气压阀）sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didnt look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didntoffendthe nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly tasteful，and we drank up every last drop of soup!25Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgins chicken house regularly? ATo earn some money for the family BTo get rid of the terrible smell CTo collect manure for his crops DTo set a good example to us26What can we infer about Dads stew？A It is popular among the neighboursB BIt tastes quite deliciousC CIt looks very wonderfulDIt contains honey and vegetables27What does the underlined wordoffendin the last paragraph mean？ ATo attract BTo upset CTo air DTo shut28What can we learn about Dad from the text？AHe is an experienced cookBHe is a troublesome fatherCHe has a positive attitude to lifeDHe suffers a lot from his disabilityCSmartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers attention from driving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling （滚屏） videosBut the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just as easily increase physical activity if it pushes its owners buttons in the right way New research shows that making social connections through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more. And another study on this summers Pokemon Go phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usualTogether，the studies show the potential of smartphones to push a range of people to be more active People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average over the next week，compared with people who made no social connections，according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at Stanford UniversitySuch opinions show the possibilities of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems-that even people who want to be active have trouble staying activeAn NBA video game，for example，gives players extra powers in the game if they reach a step goal in real lifeThe app Zomies，Run! uses audio stories to push people to run more or run fasterStill，there is room for growth：Only about 4% of all health apps use gamification， such as point-scoring or competition，according to a study published in October in BMJ OpenGamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques， says DrElizabeth Ann Edwards，the studys lead author.29What does the author think of smartphones？_ AThey lead to peoples lack of physical activity BThey will make people have more connections CThey can have videogames more interesting DThey can involve their users in more exercise30. According to Pokemon Go phenomenon，smartphone users become more active because_ Athey have more social connections Bthey get extra powers in life Cthe games increase physical activity Da life goal has been set step by step31. Who are most likely to exercise more？_AVideo watchers on the sofaBSmartphone game loversCPeople with no social connectionsDPeople with trouble staying active32. How does the author try to argue the benefits of smartphones？_ABy showing the results of some researchesBBy explaining the functions of smartphonesCBy giving vivid description of some gamesDBy analyzing the causes of public health problemsDTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. You dont see it -you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, and more-and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.33. AccordingtoParagraph1,transparentanimals _.A. stayingroupsB. canbeeasilydamagedC. appearonlyindeepoceanD. arebeautifulcreatures34.
