Bottled water drinkers may be drinking the most plastic of all.A new study released b
19、y Orb Media evaluates that on average , a liter of bottled water from big brands like Dasani , Aquafina , and Nestle, contains roughly 10.4 tiny plastic bits. The world drinks them in swiftly, consuming roughly a million plastic bottles a minute, as The Guardian evaluates. Aquafina and Dasani both s
20、aid that their bottled water is tested on strict standards. Nestle said the company hasnt found microplastics in its water bottles beyond a “trace(微量)level”. Evian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.In our modern, plastic-filling world, these little plastic bits many thinner than a
21、 human hair seem to be very common everywhere. We dont know exactly what these plastic parts are doing to our bodies, but were drinking them in anyway. Thats an alarming possibility, because in the ocean, these little plastics are doing harmful things to fish. In some species, theyre even slowing do
22、wn growth and reproduction.While there isnt clear evidence yet that the plastics in single-use water bottles can increase cancer risk, we know that bottles containing a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) do. The hard BPA plastics in certain reusable water bottles can lead to higher risks of breast ca
23、ncer, and other diseases. And a few studies suggest the softer kinds of single-use water bottles can have similar chemicals inside.The tiny plastic bits arent just in our bottles . They come out of our 6taps,too. The tiny plastics are also swimming in the seas and disturbing the way fish eat. In som
24、e countries, microplastics are even slipping into the salt markets.

27、ruth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, someone might say, I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store
28、and turned it in for one hundred dollars!“This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe notWe then discover that he 7bought$200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-t
29、ruth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Sm
30、iths term，the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with t
31、he truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky CompanyThis kind of deception happens too oftenIts a sad fact of life：Lies are lies,a

33、ry tickets if possible 30.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Using half truths is against the law B.Technically, half truths are in fact lies C.Yucky Pill is a very good medicine for toothache. D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.31.What can we know from the
34、example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?8A. Half-truths are often used to mislead people. B. Advertisements are based on facts. C. False statements are easy to see through. D.Doctors like to act in advertisements.DWeve all had the experience of wanting to get a project done but putting it off to a l
35、ater date. So why do we delay things? Are we built to operate this way at some times?These questions are central to my research on goal pursuit . It all starts with a simple choice between working now on a given project and doing anything else.The decision to work on something is driven by how much
36、we value accomplishing the project in that momentwhat psychologists call its subject value. And delay, in psychological terms, is what happens when the value of doing something else outweighs the value of working now.This way of thinking suggests a simple trick to defeat delay. For example, instead
37、of cleaning my house, I might try to focus on why grading papers is personally important to me. Its simple advice, but sticking to this strategy can be quite difficult.People are not entirely wise in the way they value things. For example, a dollar bill is worth exactly the same today as it is a wee
38、k from now, but its subjective valueroughly how good it would feel to own a dollar depends on other factors besides its face value, such as when we receive it. The tendency for people to devalue money and other goods based on time is called delay discounting. For example, receiving $ 100 three month
39、s from now is worth the same to people as receiving $83 right now. People would rather lose $17 than wait a few months to get a large reward.Getting something done is a delayed reward, so its value in the present is reduced: the further away the deadline is, the less attractive it seems to work on t
40、he project right now. The tendency to delay things closely follows economic 9models of delay discounting . One way to manage it is to make the finish line seem closer. For example, vividly imagining a future reward reduces delay discounting.32.Which of the following best explains “outweighs” underli
41、ned in paragraph 2 ?A. Is equal to. B. Is greater than C. Is involved in D. Is central to33.What should we do to overcome delay in the authors opinion?A. Avoid setting a deadline too strictly B. Consider doing nothing temporarilyC.Increase the subjective value of working now D. Realize great fun of

One of these days is none of these days. D.Dont count your chickens before they are hatched.35.What is suggested to deal with del
43、ay discounting?A. Asking for nothing in return B. Lowering our high expectationsC. Searching for instant satisfaction D.
