11、bese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically（代谢的）healthy,says study first author Mikael,Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells,we should continue to focus on preventing obesity.Obesity has been a global problem,affecting approximately 60

12、0 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease,stroke,cancer,and so on.But in the 1970s and 80s,experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders.Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relativ

13、ely healthy life.However,there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity,and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion.Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,Mikael says,There doesnt appear to

14、be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity,indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression.One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fat cells,not other types.Moreover, all of the ob

15、ese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations,so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity.In future research,Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expression responses.They will also look for

16、specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.In the meantime,the study has an important take-home message.Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,Ryden says.1、What does the underlined phrase healthy obesity mean?AIt can be healthy with obesity.BO

17、besity is necessary to be healthy.CUnhealthy people have no obesity.DHealth has something to do with obesity.2、What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?ALack of related patients.BLack of genetic evidence.CLack of research funding.DLack of needed standards.3、What advice can readers get fro

A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physi

20、cist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has becom

21、e a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction

22、 company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square

23、meter of panel can supply a days worth of power for one workers computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the companys scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few

24、 years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.1、What do we know about perovskite s

26、?AIt needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.BScientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.CPerovskite has been studied for decades.DPerovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.4、What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo explain how to use perovskite panels.BTo introduc

I think it will be a good idea to learn now because I have plenty of free time and am earning a little money to pay for lessons. I never learnt

28、 when I lived in the UK, so luckily driving on the “wrong” side isnt a problem.However, there are a lot of rules to remember. When you see a road to your right and there are no white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have the right to go before your car and you have to stop for them. In pr

29、actice, lots of people forget this and cars either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep (鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!When you drive round a roundabout, you should check all your mirrors. To remember how to do this, I often count them al

30、oudone, two, threethen a second glance at your blind spot when youre in the roundabout. One friend came driving with me and after about an hour asked why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago, he couldnt remember ever having to check three mirrors!Driving still seems scary to m

31、e so I drive quite slowly. I also dont know the countryside roads very well and dont know whats coming up round the comer or over the next hill. I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up or cars will bump into me from behind or try to overtake somewhere dangerous.

32、 So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!Im not a very practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. I dont have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesnt come naturally to me. To make driving more fun and interesting, I learn in Swis

45、of the greatest moments in human history were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying(震撼性的) message required emotional intelligencethe ability to recognize, understa

46、nd, and manage emotions.Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. If we can teach our children to manage emotions, the argument goes, well have less bullying and more cooperation. If we can cultivate

47、 emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors, well have more caring workplaces and more compassionate healthcare.Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖)a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become bet

48、ter at manipulating (把持) others. When youre good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence.

49、In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion. the audience was less likely to scrutinize (细察) the message and remembered of the content. Ironically(讽刺的是) audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall

50、 more of it.The authors call this the awestruck effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitlers persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotionshe would ear open his heartand these emotions affected his followers

51、 to the point that they wouldstop thinking critically and just emote.”Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our capacities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own. the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives (动机), emotional int

52、elligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others. In a study led by the University of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote, university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian(不择手段的) tendencies, and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions

53、. Then, Cotes team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined (逐渐削弱) their colleagues. The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional intelligence. They used their emotional skills to lower the dignity of their peers for personal gain.Shini

54、ng a light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal Professor Kiiduits

55、team writes,The strategic disguise of ones own emotions and the manipulation of others emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeares stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”Of course, people arent always using emotional intellige

56、nce for nefarious ends. More often than not, emotional skills are simply instrumental tools for goal accomplishment. A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligence to inspire her employees fundraise for charity. As Roddick explained, Whenever particular project we

57、always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts.”There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence-like any skill-can be used for good or evil. So if were going to teach emotional intelligence in schools

58、and develop it at work, we need to consider the values that go along with it and where its actually useful.1、Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?ATo honor the great leader for his courage.BTo recommend his speech to other leaders.CTo impress the readers with a major topic.DTo advocate

59、 a society with fewer problems.2、Which of the following belongs to a dark side of emotional intelligence?ADeveloping the capability to control ones own emotion.BInducing people to do what brings disadvantages to them.CAppealing to the audience to concentrate and remember more.DEncouraging the moved

60、audience to a more of the speech.3、What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitlers emotional intelligence?AHis followers would tear open their hearts to him.BHis followers would express emotions strategically.CHis followers would lose the ability to reason properly.DHis followers would develop the self-ser
