17、en Golden Rules we were raised with?When I was growing up, there was etiquette(礼仪) to coughing. When coughing, we were told to turn our head away and block off our mouth. This might sound amusing to many young people. But if we didnt follow these etiquettes, we would get a quick reminder(提醒) to the
18、back of our head. When we were given something, and forgot to say “thank you”, elders would seriously remind us, “arent you forgetting to say something”, which was immediately followed by a “thank you”. Maybe technology has affected our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days w
19、e like. It seems as if we have thrown out manners and etiquette with the bathwater. Simple etiquette is missing in society. A thank-you-note for a gift you have received all fall into the same box of manners. People are just cold these days because we are on the run every day in the world.In the wor
20、k environment have you ever come across a sign: “Your mother doesnt work here, clean up by yourself”? We often hear people say, the younger generation have no manners. I think people in general irrespective(无关的)of age have lost their manners. Weve allowed bad manners to go unchecked. We simply stand

What makes these
25、car “green” is that because they run on electricity instead of gas, they do not give off any polluting greenhouse gases. The Toyota Mirai is also a kind of green car, since it is powered by a hydrogen fuel battery（氢燃料电池） .Hydrogen, as you know, exists in large quantities on the earth. It was used to
26、 power gaslights for centuries before electric lights came along. Hydrogen fuel can be made from many sources including water, natural gas and even rubbish. As for energy contained, 9.5kg of hydrogen is similar to 25kg of gas. According to Toyota, the two tanks on the Mirai hold 5kg of hydrogen, and
27、 can cover a distance of over 300 miles. This is twice the output of gas cars.In a hydrogen fuel battery, the one proton （质子）and one electron in a hydrogen atom（原子） are broken up. While the electrons power the car, the hydrogen protons work with the oxygen atom to produce water. At the same time, it
28、 also produces a lot of heat which turns this water into water vapor. This is - 8 -the reason why cars running on hydrogen fuel batteries give off water vapor from their exhaust pipes when running.According to Toyota, it takes only 5 minutes to refill a hydrogen tank, which is much quicker than char
29、ging（充电）electric cars. However, the biggest difficulty for the company is the availability of hydrogen-charging stations. California and the New England states are in the process of building a hydrogen superhighway - with charging stations along the way. Countries like Germany, Japan and UK are also
30、 adding more charging stations. The Toyota Mirai will be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2015 for $ 58,000. This hydrogen-fueled car will probably take the place of gas cars in the near future. After all, it is an energy-saving and environment-friendly car.28.According to the text, nowad

34、th too much information about nutrition(营养) and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals. So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were 45 or older into four groups. One group
35、 was instructed in making diet and exercise changes at the same time; the second group was taught about diet changes followed by exercise changes four months later; the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later; and the final control gr
36、oup was not instructed in either diet or exercise changes but in how to manage their stress.The researchers tracked the groups for a full year. Compared to the control group, the three intervention(干预)groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their exercise habits first significan
37、tly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the national goals for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those wh
38、o worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the levels of fitness after a year. The researchers think that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.The findings show, however, that pairing（使成对） diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the
39、 difficulty people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If people change diet first and then exercise, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less active to go on the second set.32.How is paragraph 3 developed?A.
