It turns out that you’re not just what you eat - you’re also     21     you eat.

Researchers found that study participants took double     22     number of calories when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.

The researchers had 98 women     23     (spend) 10 minutes in a kitchen, under the guise of asking them to wait for someone. Half of the participants stood in a messy kitchen,     24     was scattered (散落的) with piles of newspapers and dirty dishes and had a ringing phone. The other half of the women waited in an organized kitchen.

Both kitchens contained bowls of crackers, cookies and carrots,     25     (lay) out for the participants to eat. Each woman in the disorderly environment ate twice     26     many cookies - a total of 53 more calories - compared to those in the clean kitchen.

Then why did this happen?

“Being in a disorderly environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,”psychology professors said in a statement. “It seems to lead people     27     (think),’Everything else is out of control, so why shouldn’t I be?’“

While there are many ways to manage stress,     28     meditation, exercise and therapy, this particular study emphasizes the fact     29     there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm. The next time you delay     30     (tidy) up the kitchen, remember that the exercise will benefit you in so many ways.

“Test tourism” for grammar schools will be stopped and replaced by a new national selection exam, according to plans being considered by ministers.

A new “selective education team” has been set up,     31     up by Nick Timothy, who is joint chief of staff to Prime Minister Theresa May.

Currently, there is a wide     32     in the type of Eleven plus exams that children sit, depending on which school or area of the country the student is in. Ministers are hoping to impose severe     33     on” test tourism”, where parents travel huge distances and even relocate their family to secure a place for their child at a grammar school.

A summary document of a series of meetings between senior Department for Education ministers and the Grammar School Heads Association (GSHA) also reveals that the Government is developing “coaching     34     tests” to prevent heavily tutored children from wealthy families or expensive preparatory schools gaining unfair advantage.

Details of ministers’ plans     35     after the GSHA released a list of key points following their discussions with Government officials. Education Secretary Justine Greening reportedly told the grammar school headteachers that ministers “are philosophically opposed to selection but present little     36     to support this claim”.

According to the GSHA, ministers still want to see the top 25 percent of pupils attend     37     schools, and for grammar schools to cater .for a “narrower ability range” - closer to 10 percent. The notes add that there is a “move away from focusing on social     38     to social reform”.

Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner said it was “unbelievable” that grammar school headteachers “have been given the inside     39     on the government’s plans, while our state schools and academies are left out in the cold”.

A Department for Education spokesperson said, “Thanks to the government’s reforms, there are now almost 1.8 million more pupils being taught in good schools than in 2010. But we know there is more to do, and that’s precisely why we have set out plans to make more good school places     40     to more parents and in more parts of the country.”

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be 'a skeleton in his family's closet'. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica's father said with anger. “Your family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy,” she thought.
56. According to Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ________.

A．a family honor

B．a family secret

C．a family story

D．a family treasure

57. What can we learn about some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2?

59. Jessica's parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.

B．they were over excited.

C．they realized their misunderstanding.

D．they both thought they had won the quarrel.

Student loans are based on a simple idea: that a graduate’s future flow of earnings will more than cover the costs of doing a degree. But with unemployment rates in parts of the rich world at post-war highs, that may no longer hold true for many people. The consequences will be felt by everybody.

All over the world student indebtedness is causing problems. In Britain, rising university fees mean that student debt is likely to treble (变成三倍) to £70 billion. But, partly because higher education there is so expensive, the scale of the problem is far greater in America. When the next official estimates of outstanding student debt there are published, it is expected to be close to $1 trillion.

Student-loan systems in America and elsewhere are often badly designed for an extended period of high unemployment. In contrast to the housing crash, the risk from student debt is not of a sudden explosion in losses but of gradual financial suffocation (窒息). The pressure needs to be eased.

One option is to change the bankruptcy laws. In America, Britain and elsewhere, these treat student debt as a special case: unlike other forms of debt, it cannot be wiped out. If student debt is not to bind existing graduates and put off future ones, the rules could be changed so that it is dischargeable (可解除的) in bankruptcy. Yet some worry that graduates would rush to declare bankruptcy, handing losses to taxpayers.

So a second option is preferable. Many countries, America included, have designed student debt primarily as a mortgage (抵押)-like obligation: it is repaid to a fixed schedule. Other places, like Britain and Australia, make student-loan repayments income- based so that the prospect of taking on debt is more acceptable to people from poorer backgrounds. That approach makes sense, especially when jobs are scarce.

Both changes would lead to a repricing of student debt. That would be a bad thing for taxpayers, but a good thing overall. Just as borrowers need to understand the risks they are exposing themselves to, voters need to understand the duties that governments are taking on when they subsidize (资助) students.

63. The idea supporting student loans _________.

A．illustrates the way the money serves graduates

B．shows the difficulty of paying off the debts

C．correctly estimates graduates future earnings

D．fails to expect the current condition of indebted students

64. Which of the following may be the reason for the heavy student debt?

A．High unemployment among graduates.	B．The loose student-loan systems.
C．The housing crash.	D．The rapid increase of student loans.

65. The pressure of student debt can be eased by _________ .

A．new bankruptcy rules	B．income-based repayment policy
C．clear student obligation	D．a better tax system

66. What might be the most suitable title of the passage?

A．The Serious Tax Problems	B．Graduates Unemployment
C．The Indebted Graduates	D．Ways to cancel Students Debts

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

When I decided to quit my full-time employment it never occurred to me. that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move (平级调动) that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career.     67    

Curiously, some two- and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all”into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.

I have discovered that abandoning the doctrine (教义) of “juggling your life ”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.     68     . That means twelve- hour working days, pressured “deadlines”, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”.

In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting- also known in America as “ voluntary simplicity”- has, ironically, even ,bred a new area of what might be termed anti-consumerism. There are a number of best-selling downshifting self-help books for people who want to simplify their lives.     69    

In America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline and is still linked to the politics of thrift, while in Britain, at least among the middle-class downshifter of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.

    70     Downshifting at present is not so much a search for the mythical (神话般的) good life - growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one - as a personal recognition of your limitations.

A．I remembered being in the elevator with a colleague who admitted his fear of getting fired the minute the doors shut.

B．However, I covered my exit by claiming that I wanted to spend more time with my family.

C．There are a number of new insurance rules for those who agree to undertake certain activities to increase their opportunities for employment.

D．Actually, women of my generation were urged to keep juggling in the past.

E．Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life I once enjoyed.

F．There are newsletters that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their cling-film to making their own soap.

71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the following passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report found that Millennials’-people born in the 1980s and 90s- wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low-cost clothes are growing.

But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bédat, who is in her early 30s, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over.

So Ms. Bédat started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable over time.

The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food” and “slow food”: fast food is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer higher-quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.

Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bédat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is ‘making them. To answer Millennials demand for information about the products they buy, Ms. Bédat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands and it also describes the process in which the clothes are made.

The international business “H & M” is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H & M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H & M spokesperson says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills. “
