Thats the _37_, done early this month, of two scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US. They did two experiments _38_ mice.In the first experiment, the researchers gave the mice _39_ to two sugary snacks. One could be _40_ by pressing a lever (控制杆) once; _41_ only appeared after pressing a _42_ lever 15 times. Later, when both snacks were made freely_43_ to the mice, they showed a clear _44_ for the one that was harder to get.In the _45_ experiment, the researchers wanted to find out whether the animals preference for the harder-to-get food would _46_ if those foods were low-calorie. They _47_ two different snacks one that was sweet, and one that was healthy (lower in calories). Some mice got the healthy snack from the easy lever, and some got it from the _48_ lever. When both snacks could be got freely, the mice who worked hard for the healthy snack preferred it _49_ the sweet snack.“Basically, _50_ we have shown is that if you have to expend more effort to get a certain food, _51_ will you value that food more, but it might _52_ taste better to you,” said Alexander Johnson, one of the researchers. “At present, we dont know why effort seems to _53_ the taste of food, but we know it does, and this effect _54_ for at least 24 hours after the act of working hard to get the food.” The authors believe this principle could be used to _55_ people to like more healthy food over sugary and fatty snacks. So if you just cant make that salad seem tasty, maybe you should put the healthy stuff way back in the back of your fridge where itll be harder to reach.36. A. rich B. abundant C. low D. ripe 37.

He began to think. Business was not good. Nobody wanted to buy anything. He thought about the canvas and the pots and pans on the wagon. Then he remembered the hole in Hanks trousers. Suddenly, he had an idea-“pants”, he jumped up and shouted, “Everyone needs pants.” He hurried to a tailor and gave him all his canvas.“I want you to make pants with this canvas,” he said. “Can you do that?”“Yes, of course,” said the tailor, “What name is it?”“Strauss, Levi Strauss.”It was the beginning of jeans. Now more than a hundred years later, people wear jeans all over the world and everyone knows the name of Levi Strauss. In the 1860s, farmers, rail-road workers, cowboys and miners helped to develop the new land. Life was hard. They worked for long hours in all kinds of weather. They wore trousers made by Levi Strauss. They were the first people to wear jeans in America. Jeans first came to Europe with the American soldiers during World War II. Soon, workers in Europe were wearing them. Workers liked them: they were cheap, hardwearing and practical. They were not popular with young people generally until the late 1950s and early 1960s.It came suddenly. It started in America and it crossed the Atlantic quickly.

The best title for the passage can be _.A. Levi Strauss, First Man to Invent Jeans B. The Best TrousersJeansC. How Jeans es Out And Spreads D. Reasons for Jeans SpreadingC Amazingly, US crime figures have been falling for 20 years now. Of course, the big question is, why? And can any lessons be learnt? One reason could be the fall in the demand for the drug crack. During the 1980s, drug-related crimes soared, mostly caused by desperate crack users. However, according to professor Blumstein, co-author of The Crime Drop in America, news of the dangers of crack use caused its decrease and led to a fall in the number of drug-related crimes. Some say that the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy in many cities has helped lead to a fall in crime. In New York City, for example, mayor Rudy Giuliani imposed strict and automatic punishments for all crimes, including minor offences such as graffiti and littering. Many believe this has had a very strong deterrent(威慑的) effect. Another reason could be smarter policing strategies. Anti-theft measures and educating the munity about car theft has helped see a drop in crimes in many areas. Also, the use of crime mapping schemes that can discover identify crime peaks in different parts of the city has helped police target hotspots. Another reason could be that more criminals are now behind bars. Sociologist John Conklin (from Tufts University) says a significant factor behind the fall in crime in the 1990s is the simple fact that many criminals are in jail. In his book Why Crime Rages Fell, he says sentencing was merciful in the 1960s and 1970s, when crime rose. But then more prisons were built and more offenders were imprisoned. Some have linked the fall in violent crime to a decline in childrens exposure to lead in petrol. Jessica Wolpaw Reyes says, “Even low to moderate levels of exposure can lead to behavioral problems, reduced IQ, hyperactivity(多动症) and youth crimes. You can link the decline in lead between 1975 and 1985 to a decline in violent crime 20 years later.” Others say that the drop in crime has something to do with birth rates. According to statistics, birth rates peaked between 1957 and 1961, and the proportion of men in the US in their late teens and early 20s (the so-called “criminal age”) was highest in the late 70s and early 80s. However, as time went on, the proportion of people in this age group decreased. Others claim that videogames have helped. A recent study has suggested that these games are keeping young people off the streets and therefore away from crime. Advocates of this argue that any effects the games may have in encouraging violent behavior is offset by the fact that the games keep potential criminals indoors and in front of the television. Some argue that the widespread use of camera phones makes some criminals think twice before mitting a crime and getting filmed doing it. Also, many believe that the mass use of CCTV has also had an effect. Finally, some say that petty theft just isnt worth it any more. The resale value of second-hand goods such as televisions, cameras or clothes is now so low (or even non-existent) that most people see no point in stealing. So, what do you think? 61.
