24、神农架

Thousands of years ago, Shennong, who had an ox（牛）head and human body, lived in the south of ancient China. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders（梯子）and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.

The story makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a quite different experience, as you can see sceneries（风景）of the four seasons from different height. “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice.” local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 kinds of animals and plants. Many rare animals live there, such as the golden monkey and the Asian black bear.

One interesting thing about Shennongjia is its story of wild men. Some people said that they saw big foot marks. Yet so far, scientists haven’t proved（证实）it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has recently received a new title. It was added to United Nations World Heritage（遗产）list as a natural site. China now has 50 world heritage sites, only less than Italy in the world.

25、Imagine this. There’s an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

Here is a famous experiment in the book The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖), if they waited fifteen minutes, they’d be given a second one (and then they could eat both).

So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, he got in touch with the children, who, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who’d shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

So, if you do daily “self-control exercises”, such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your “willpower muscle” can get tired. If you have to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat. In that way, you’ll build up your willpower again.

And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!

27、It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process in people? For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.

Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus（下丘脑）. The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. They include growth, reproduction and the way we process food.

Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.

What are stem cells? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.

Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature.

“Aging speed is controlled, can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells.” He adds that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body. “So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.”

Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination of the animals’ muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive （认知的）ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals.

“When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells, which were derived from young mice, we injected them to the middle-aged mice and that was, in fact, to slow down aging. So the mouse aged slowly and they also have increased their lifespan, which is longevity.”

But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings. “If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans, they can function better during later ages, later stage of aging.”

Cai and his team say their studies may have other benefits. They say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of age-related health issues.

【1】What do we know about the hypothalamus?

A．It’s located in the eyes.

B．It starts aging due to the increase of its stem cells.

C．It plays a key role in controlling the aging process.

D．It functions well when the body starts aging.

【2】What did the researchers do during the experiment?

A．They strengthened the muscles of the mice.

B．They examined tissues and tested the behavior of mice.

C．They injected the stem cells into the younger mice.

D．They changed the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice.

【3】What do we know about the study done by Cai?

A．They have found a way to turn back the aging process.

B．The brain controls growth, reproduction and the way we process food.

C．The decrease of hypothalamus stem cells can lead to aging.

D．The finding has been applied to human being.

【4】What would the researchers probably do next?

A．Inject stem cells of young mice into humans.

B．Research on the cognitive psychology.

C．Help human beings live longer.

D．Do similar experiments on human beings.

【5】Which of the following can be the best titles for the passage?

A．How human being age

B．A new discovery about cells

C．The ways of slowing down aging

D．Researchers use brain cells to control aging in mice

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板电脑）in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.

Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?

The use of tablet computers（or simply“tablets”）in the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a 【1】 of the problems.

On one hand, there are many a【2】to use tablets in the classroom.

Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（ 效 率 ）during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T【3】 , using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a【4】. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.

However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f 【5】 on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r【6】 . This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.

All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c【7】prove to be a worthwhile investment（物有所值的投资）.
