My hometown Quanzhou lies in the southeast of Fujian Province, dotting with rolling hills, valleys and basins. It's a beautiful place for people live in. Its economy has been growing rapid during the past ten years. New bridges and roads have been set up and high buildings stood in many parts of the city. A number of schools and hospitals available to people is also on the increase. So there are still some problems, such as frequent traffic jam and severe air pollution, which have a bad influence on people's daily life. Despite of these problems, I am convincing that my hometown will become more beautiful. Time permitting, you are welcome to visit them.

It covers an area of 7. 1 million square feet and was opened in 2005. It includes seven different zones that are designed to be like important cities around the world. One zone includes a model Arc de Triomphe (凯旋门) like the one in Paris, and another with gondolas (long and narrow boats) in Venice.

4 . Two summers ago, I had decided to begin a weight loss journey but had no idea where to start. Two years later, I have yet again decided to start being healthy and I need some knowledge on what to do. Now, I want to share it with all of you.

The most important thing that I have come to realize is that you have to see this as a lifestyle change, not just a diet that can end or fail.    1     You will also feel less pressure if you eat a burger once in a while since you think you haven't failed a diet and that you can always go twice as hard the next day.

    2     Calories in versus calories out (热量输入对热量输出) if you put it in simple terms. If you want to lose weight, you must be eating in a way that your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative.

    3    It is better to eat healthy food with more calories than a low-cal pack of chips. Calorie counting can also become a bit unhealthy if not well controlled. So I recommend just eating well and controlling the amounts of food instead.

Exercise is also vital to a healthier life. Although cardio(有氧运动) is known for its quick result, weights are also essential. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Therefore, people with more muscle mass are able to bum what they eat quicker resulting in a greater calorie reduction.    4    .

Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss.    5     It may take time to find what your body can handle and needs, but do not quit. Good luck and happy eating.

A．However, calories are not everything.

B．Moreover, weight loss is essentially just math.

C．Diets can help you lose some weight temporarily.

D．It is also just beneficial in life to be physically strong!

E．If you don't, it is likely that the weight will come back on.

F．So my tip here is to eat what makes you personally feel good.

G．Therefore, it is very important to calculate and control calories accurately.

6 . Adults perform better when they have a lot to gain or lose. But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs.

The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones.

As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.

Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.

Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years.

The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.

Nerve pathways - think of them as the brain’s “wiring” - connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood.

1. Which of the following can explain Insel’s research?

A．Teens ignore key points in many aspects.

B．Adults behave better with higher rewards.

C．Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.

D．Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.

2. What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to?

A．The final results of games or experiments.

B．The things that can be gained or lost in races.

C．The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.

D．The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.

3. From the passage, we can know ___________.

A．the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakes

B．teens have better performances in the first rounds

C．adults care less about the experiment at first

D．adults and teens show differently with high stakes

4. Which is the best title of the passage?

A．Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakes

B．Who perform better, adults or children?

C．Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passion

D．Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly

A proverb says, “Time is money.” But on my opinion, time is even more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn them back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason that we must value time. The time for our study and work is quite limit. But there are a number of people who do not know the important of time. They kill time by chatting or drinking. They didn’t realize that wasting time is simple wasting their valuable lives. In word, we should develop the good habit of saving time. Don’t leave what can be do today till tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring to us failure but also make us lead a poor life.
