Sitting across from a German couple and a Chinese mother and her child,we were waiting at the Guilin airport for our delayed flight to Shanghai.In this last week of our travel study tour,my husband and I were appreciating this short break by reading. I didn’t care the languages I couldn’t understand.But it was an American accent that pulled my attention from my book.It also pulled the attention of three rows of people seated around us as the American barked“Coming through!Coming through!’’ At the same time,an oversized man pulling an oversized carryon passed our row.His wheeled bag caught the German’s feet.Turning to see what snagged his luggage,the American pulled his bag so hard that it crossed over the man’s feet.It was then that my horror struck.There was no“I’m sorry”，no“Excuse me”and no“Pardon me”coming from this countryman of mine. While this wasn’t the first or last incident where I saw discourteous，ill-mannered and rude Americans in China,each produced similar feelings.First,I was embarrassed that someone from my country was creating a negative(负面的）impression of Americans.My second reaction was a desire to apologize.I wanted to explain to the Chinese woman and her child,the German couple next to them,and everyone nearby that this was not typical American behavior.I wanted them to know“we”were all not like that. I never got to explain,or to apologize.language differences made that choice impossible,and rational(理性的)thinking made it unsuitable.But it turned out not to be a need.The German man caught my eyes with a bit of headshaking,smiling and eye rolling,which I returned,and it was clear that he knew we were Americans and was expressing that there was“no need”to apologize for“universal idiot behavior” 【1】In the airport,the author and her husband . A.were talking with a German couple B.were enjoying reading together C.were having a hard time D.were worried about their flight 【2】What did the author think of the man with an American accent?

Getting paid to stay in bed all day sounds pretty good.Bui what if someone offered you$23,000 to stay in bed for two months?That’s the deal that a research team is offering to 24 volunteers. Researchers are looking for volunteers to help them study the influences of weightlessness on the human body by spending 60 days lying down.Lying in bed isn’t exactly the same as being weightless,but the influences on the human body are similar. When astronauts spend a long time in an environment with no gravity,like the International Space Station(ISS),their bodies are affected in many ways.After a couple of months on the ISS，astronauts hearts don’t beat as hard.Their muscles(肌肉）become weaker because they no longer have to work against gravity.Their bones(骨头）may break more easily.There may also be changes in the astronauts sleep habits. Dr.Armaud Beck,the researcher in charge of the study,said his goal was to measure the influences of weightlessness,and also to find ways to prevent problems.The study will take 88 days altogether.During the first two weeks the volunteers will be tested to establish(建立）their levels of fitness.Then they will spend 60 days lying in bed with their heads a little lower than their bodies.They will have to do everything while lying down，including brushing their teeth and going to the bathroom.Dr.Beck said the rule is that they must have at least one shoulder touching the bed at all times.Half of the volunteers in the study will be taking capsules(胶囊)containing special food supplements(增补物)several times a day to see if they help reduce the health problems caused by weightlessness. The last two weeks of the study will be spent trying to let the volunteers recover.Volunteers must be men between the ages of 20 and 45 who are in perfect health.They must be non-smokers. The study will take place from September 1 st to November.The first two days are the time for volunteers to sign in. 【1】Why are the volunteers asked to lie in bed in the study? A.It is the same as being weightless. B.It can make astronauts sleep well. C.It has the similar influences as being weightless. D.It can help volunteers feel the gravity better. 【2】What will happen to an astronaut’s body when there’s no gravity? A.His heart beats faster. B.His bones may become weak. C.His weight may rise slowly. D.His eating habits may be affected. 【3】What’s one of the requirements for half of the volunteers in the study? A.Lying down for 60 days in zero gravity. B.Finishing most daily tasks when lying in bed. C.Helping test some food supplements’effect. D.Sleeping on their back most of the time. 【4】What can be inferred from the text? A.Volunteers need to lie in bed all the time. B.The study will last for more than three months. C.Volunteers’fitness tests will last till the end of September. D.They’ll lie on the bed all the time for the whole October. |

Sorry,potato people!Although it’s probably no surprise that French fries are among the worst foods you can eat,most of us still don’t believe it.After all，it doesn’t hurt to eat some every once in a while…right?But some people feel guilty(内疚的）to eat French fries and they have a good reason for that. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,people’s guilty feeling may be well-placed.The research,which researched potato eating in 4,400 older people between ages of 45 and 79 over the course of eight years,shows that eating fried potatoes at least twice a week highly increases our risk of death. But hold up!Before you completely stop eating potatoes,you should know that it is found that eating potatoes overall(even a lot of them)wouldn’t kill you.Instead,it’s the type of potato that makes all the difference between life and death. Eating fried potatoes like French fries at least twice per week increased the risk of death in the study.On the other hand,potatoes that were not fried,such as boiled and baked potatoes,were less likely to cause death. Why?Potatoes have healthy levels of fiber(纤维）and vitamins(维生素），so you can partake without feeling bad.But when it comes to the fried food,you might need to think again.French fries usually have lots of fat and added salt,leading to weight growth.Still,when all is said and done，connection isn’t totally equal to causation(因果关系）.More research is needed before certainly concluding that eating French fries alone increases the risk of death. Luckily,potatoes are still considered as one of your suggested three to five servings of vegetables per day.Just try not to eat the fatty ones,if you can. 【1】What’s the text mainly about? A.People’s reasons for feeling guilty. B.The worst foods that should be avoided. C.A research about potatoes,effects on treating illnesses. D.A study on the relation between French fries and death. 【2】From the findings of the study,we learn that . A.potatoes aren’t good for everyone B.many foods can mean life and death C.we shouldn’t eat one type of food too much D.how food is cooked is important to our health 【3】What does the underlined word“partake”in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Share. B.Cook. C.Eat. D.Buy. 【4】Which of the following can make French fries unhealthy? A.Damaged fiber. B.Bad potatoes. C.Much fat and salt in them. D.The oil used to fry them. |

Changing the entire world is an impossible task,but,here at BYUtv’s Random Acts,we believe change starts small,one person at a time.Here's how you can change the world. Help a stranger. If you see something and do something，you should be clear about your surroundings(周围）.Too many times we notice someone has dropped something and we simply keep walking.【1】!Whether you hold the door for someone or treat a stranger to a cup of coffee,you will make a difference.【2】 Share your talents! Whether your talent is singing,giving good advice,cooking or eating hot dogs really fast,your talent is meant to be shared!You may not think your talent is that interesting,【3】 Just take one look at BYU’s Vocal Point sharing their talent of singing with a nursing home and you’ll be sold! 【4】 It’s time to stop caring about what others think and understand what you love!If you throw your doubts(怀疑),perceived(感知的)limitations,and insecurities to the wind,you can get some important things.Take Emmalene for example：She's been in a wheelchair for her whole life due to cerebral palsy(脑瘫),【5】.With the help of her loved ones,and her firm love for ballet,her dreams became a reality and so can yours! A.This time,help them out B.Lose yourself in what you love C.Tell others that they have to pull through D.Or at least make that person's day a little brighter E.Doing what you love takes up a large part of your day F.but repeat after us：Your talent makes the world a better place G.but that didn't stop her from dreaming of becoming a ballet dancer |
