It would have been hard for her to relax in the hospital if she knew there were dust balls behind the stove.The entire house was tidy and organized there was a place for everything and everythingwas in its place.Mom would hang the she
20、ets outside to dry rather than inside the house.And if storm clouds gathered, she would run outside, race down to the sheets, throw them into a bag, and then race back to the house as the rain started, satisfied that a major catastrophe had been avoided.Throughout our entire childhoods, my sisters a
21、nd I were spoiled with fresh bedding and cookies fresh from the oven.Theres something beautiful about freshness, like the beginning of a school year, the start of a marriage, the birth of a child, moving to a new place, or starting a new job.Freshness is like opening a new calendar that isnt yet fil
22、led with neglected tasks. A new year always means a chance at a fresh start. But the question is, how do we choose to make this new start?Maybe I need to do some housekeeping myself. A good sweeping usually leads to finding some interesting things an old memory or two and new hobbies that fell by th
23、e wayside. Perhaps its time to clean out all those drawers filled with junk the ones holding old tapes that replay the things I regret doing and the things that I wish I had done.My personality could use some polish (亮光剂) as well the ability to listen more than I talk. Glass cleaner (玻璃清洁剂) would be

28、go, The Simpsons, the longest running prime-time(黄金时段) TV show in the country, has become part of US life. So when TV critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked the 100 greatest comedies and dramas broadcast in the US ,it came as no surprise that The Simpsons was their top choice.This was t
29、he show that changed the very concept of cartoons in Western society. Before it appeared, cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun, not serious adult entertainment. The Simpsons changed this. The genius of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children.Its a hugely e
30、ntertaining program thats also full of satire(讽刺的) and clever humor.A remark by Chitra Ramaswamy in The Guardian gave a sense of the esteem(敬重) in which The Simpsons is held:“Nothing before or since has match 7its capacity to be at once so profoundly clever and so unbelievably stupid.” The shows cre
31、ators make fun of the US government, social customs, and of course, the idea of family life. But unlike most classic US prime-time TV characters the Simpsons are a dys-functional(功能失调的) family.Bart, the boy, is always in trouble-both at home and at school. That may be in part because of his paternal
32、 example. Homer Simpson, perhaps the most iconic(标志性的) character, is a beer-swilling, overweight slob（懒汉） who is normally found in front of the TV. And Marge, Homers wife and the mother of the family, spends most of her time cooking, cleaning or trying to fix the messes that Bart and Homer make.The
33、smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa, who does well in school but is no goody-goody(讨好卖乖的人)-Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority. The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie, who will likely be as much of a handful as her brother and sister when she grows up.But alt
34、hough the Simpsons are a problem family, viewers are always on their side. One of the reasons why the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so lovely. Millions of us identify with them. They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet. They arent perfect
35、, but then, who is? And after 30 years, this is still what strikes a chord （引起共鸣）with millions of viewers worldwide.28.According to the article , The Simpsons_.A.is a program designed only for fun. B.reminds people of their sad children.C.is suitable for both adults and kids. D.is difficult to under
36、stand for many people.29.Which of the following statement is TRUE about the Simpson family according to the article?A.They all show great support to the government. B.They are an ordinary family with many problems.C.Bart and Lisa are the troublemakers of the family. D.The children regard 8Homer as t
37、heir role model.30.According to the article,viewers like the Simpsons mainly because_.A.they have the courage to challenge authority. B.they are a happy and perfect family.C.they teach viewers how to fix problems. D.their lives and problems are similar to real peoples.31.What is the article mainly a
38、bout?A.What kind of stories The Simpsons tells. B.The most popular characters in The Simpsons.C.Changes to The Simpsons over the years D. Reasons behind The Simpsons lasting popularity.DStaying up late is a potential battle between parents and kids. But the solution could be as simple as changing yo
39、ur meal time.Researchers at the University of Surrey,UK, found that delaying meals could help change one of the internal body clocks. Besides a“master”clock in the brain, there are clocks in other parts of the body.They are usually synchronized（同步的）according to factors including light.During the stu
40、dy, reseachers teased 10 participans to study the effect of changing meal times on their body clocks. The participants were given three meals -breakfast,lunch and dinner.In the first stage, participants received breakfast 30 minutes after walking .Lunch and dinner followed,after 5-hour interval（间隔）.
41、In the second stage, each meal was delayed by 5 hours.Right after each stage,blood and fat samples were collected. Results showed that later meal times greatly influnenced blood sugar levels.A 5-hour delay in meal times caused a 5-hour delay in the internal blood sugar rhythms.The discovery showed t
42、hat meal times are in line with the body clock that controls blood suger levels. This is a small study but the reseachers believed the findings could help 9jet lag sufferers and night-shift workers.In a study by the University of Surrey in 2013,researchers explored what happened when a persons body
43、was changed from a normal pattern to that of a night-shift workers.After people work through the night, over 97 percent of the bodys rhythmic genes are disrupted.These findings explain why we feel so bad following a long flight,or after working at night, according to Simon Archer ,one of the studys
44、reseacher.“Its like living in a house. Theres a clock in every room in the house and in all of those rooms those clocks are now disrupted, which of course leads to chaos（混乱）in the household,” fellow researcher Der-Jan Dijk told the BBC.Changing meal times didnt affect the “master”body clock -the one
45、 controlling when we get sleepy-but it can reset the body clock that controls blood sugar levels.This wouldnt necessarily cure jet lag completely,but it might reduce the negative effects.A study published earlier this year suggested that just a weekend camping trip could be enough to reset our body
46、clocks. And now this latest reseach shows regular food schedules could play a key part too.32. What did reseachers at the University of Surrey find from their new study?A.Connections between the “master”clock and clocks in other parts of the body.B.Chaging meals times can be enough to reset one of o
47、ur body clocks.C.A delay in meal times causes an irregular change in blood sugar rhythms.D.Blood suger levels are affected by when we eat rather than by our internal clocks.33.What can we know about the new study?A.The internal between each meal being given was different.B.Blood and fat samples of t
48、he two groups of participants were collected.C.Participants were asked to report their feelings after each stage.D.Each meal was served five hours later during the second stage. 1034.What can we learn from the study by reseachers at the University of Surrey from 2013?A.All our bodys genes would be d
49、isrupted if we worked through the night.B.Our genes often become less active after a long flight or night of work.C.The disruption of one genes could lead to the disruption of other genes.D.A disruption to the bodys rhythmic genes can cause people to feel bad.35.Accoding to the article,_.A.its impossible to reduce the negtive effects caused by jet lag or night work.B.there is more th
