4 . As a middle schooler, one of my life goals was the Presidential Fitness Award-an honor given to those who passed a series of gin-class tests that included doing a number of pull ups, running a mile, and, among other things, the sit and reach(another version of toe touching). That's where things went wrong for me. I could never reach quite far enough.

Toe touching is an easy way to begin or end any sort of workout, For most people, it is among the easiest stretching exercises to do. But for me(and any of my classmate)it's complete suffering. Why? “The two biggest factors are the flexibility of your hamstrings(腿筋) and the range of motion of your hip(髋) joints,” says Jeffrey Jenkins, a physiologist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. “But another big factor is the relative length of your arms and your torso(躯干) to your legs, which unfortunately can't be changed.”

Ienkins says that although there are sore unjust aspects, overall the toe touch is not the worst measure of flexibility. But if you are flexibility clumsy like me, there are some things you can do to improve the flexibility of the body you have. Whenever you stretch then, your muscles contract, tighten, and resist the force to be stretched, resulting in that annoyingly painful feeling that most of us get when we first reach down to touch our toes or attempt to stretch other muscles. However, Jenkins says, if you are patient, this too shall pass.

If you hold the stretch for a minimum of six seconds, you can actually overcome the re flex (反射). In fact, Jenkins says, there's some evidence that holding still stretches for 30 seconds results in greater improvement in flexibility than holding it for 15 seconds, and just as much improvement as 60 seconds. But for some people, the pain that accompanies those sixty seconds is just too severe. If you can get past that pain, then you can probably improve your flexibility However, Jenkins cautions against tolerating too much pain; you could be tearing a muscle.

5 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

When    1    (talk) about the two genders (性别), people often say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. It is true     2    men and women are different in many ways.

However, many of these differences in character can     3     (explain) by differences between the brains of men and women. For example, a study     4     (lead) by a British psychologist in 2012 found men's brains are, on average, 10 percent bigger than women's brains. But Lise Eliot, a professor at    5    Medical School of Chicago University, doesn't think the brain differences can explain personal features. She found that the brain differences mean nothing.

So, if it's not in the brain, what is it that makes males and females behave    6     (different)? The answer may lie in socialization. In the past, many gender     7     (study) ignored a person's social background and upbringing. Take former Harvard University president for example. According to a 1970 research that showed men     8    (beat) women 13-to-one, he thought men were     9     (good) at science subjects.     10    , another study found that if females were given more opportunities to study science subjects, the ratio would drop to three-to-one.

7 . The United States is "neck- and- neck" with China in the race to develop an effective coronavirus vaccine, Johns Hopkins University health policy and management professor Dr. Marty Makary told "Special Report" Wednesday. "There are 70 vaccines in different stages of development," said Makary, a Fox News contributor. "There are seven that are being given in patients right now. We're sort of neck- and-neck with China - we've got three, they've got three."

Makary added that the Chinese vaccines "are actually in further stages of development. Their drugs are in phase two or three, and it's a real race. The country that gets there first will have a significant advantage because they will control the supply for the rest of the world and the risk is if we aren't there first, we could get locked out." The professor concluded that the search for a vaccine was "moving along," but added that "it will probably take a year" before such a treatment becomes widely available.

Earlier Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious-disease expert and a member of President Trump's coronavirus task force, touted（吹捧）the drug remdesir(瑞德西韦) for its "clear-cut significant positive effect in reducing the time to recovery," as reflected in new data. Makary said that while the National Institutes of Health study shows only a 31 percent reduction rate in recovery time, it could prove to be significant. "One thing to remember," Makary cautioned about remdesivir, "it's not a silver bullet." It reduces the severity and probably increases recovery but also, this is an IV(静脉注射) medication, it's not something you can go to the pharmacy tonight and pick up." In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment, but Makary said it is likely to receive emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration "as early as this evening”.

8 . What will future schools look like in 100 years? Imagine future schools in which students are totally engaged in a class. They are concentrating on working together to solve real-world problems.

10 . One of the most important things of the U.S. government’ routine in 2020 is to raise the federal (联邦) legal age for buying tobacco from 18 to 21.

Beginning in the summer of 2020, it will be against the law to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 21. Since 1990, the legal age permitted to buy cigarette is at least 18. The law also includes e-cigarette, not just traditional tobacco products like cigarettes and cigars, adding regulation to this industry, which has developed largely unchecked.

E-cigarette use has increased sharply among U.S. teenagers. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 27.5% of U.S. high school students have used e-cigarette in the past month. Raising the age one can buy tobacco is intended to avoid what many people are calling an epidemic, which is doing great harm to the health of American teenagers.

A recent outbreak of the disease related to e-cigarette has raised even more concern about e-cigarette products, although the disease is largely linked to cartridges (药筒) filled with addictive Vitamin E acetate sold in black market.

In a statement to TIME, the American Lung Association considered raising the age one can buy tobacco as an easy way to protect children’s health and prevent them from getting addicted to nicotine.

Those in favor of e-cigarette have made it clear that they support raising the legal age permission for buying and using tobacco, arguing that e-cigarette products are never designed for young people. Some anti-e-cigarette activists have expressed their doubt of this opinion.

At present, twenty states have already raised the legal age to buy cigarette to 21.
