15、None. BA recent study has found that being exposed to low temperatures creates more good fat which burns calories in the body. Being cold imitates the effects of exercise, protecting against obesity and improving health. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gu
16、t bacteria, which can lead to fat-burning, improve glucose metabolism, and reduce body weight.While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat they need it to keep warm b
17、ut there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can accelerate the formation of more brown fat in the body. Researchers predict the health benefits of being exposed to cold may be linked to gut bacteria. They exposed the first group of mi
18、ce to cold temperature of 6 for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major shift in the make- 5 -up of the mices gut microbes, preventing the mice from gaining weight.Then, the gut bacteria were transplanted into the second group of mice that did not have the gut microbes. It was found that th
19、ey improved glucose metabolism and increased tolerance to cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria promoted the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.Professor Mirko Trajkovski of the University

24、 instruments as part of a family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs. In
25、stead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as developin
26、g specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of concerted cultivation, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed this to “p
27、arental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was
28、 made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in
29、its own right.One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “Weve got two learning musical instruments. If we think its maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldnt force them.” A housewife said, “My sons just turned five and I want him to do the guitar beca
30、use his - 7 -uncle does it, but its up to him.”In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”28. What do British parents think of music learning?A. Worthwhile as a family tradition. B. Helpful for character build
31、ing.C. Beneficial to further education. D. Useful for job application.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Cultural practice. B. Educational success.C.

33、erican parents.C. Americans attitude towards music learning.D. British parenting style in music education.DWe traveled to Moscow for a river cruise. I had never been to Russia and my impressions of that country were formed by what I heard and saw on television and the newspaper. We were to be met at

Would she please call our driver, I would pay for the call. I asked, “No problem,“ she replied and called both numbers but no one answered. A Russian woman
36、holding a sign with someones name on it, not ours, must have overheard this conversation and took the paper and called both numbers. Again, no one answered. She shrugged and sat down then her phone rang and in Russian she had a conversation.Then she started to tell me about the call, but in Russian.
37、 I said, “No Russian, English?“ She said, “No English. Russian and Spanish.“ The young woman who had made the first call said she spoke Spanish. So the Russian woman relayed the information from our driver to the young woman in Spanish. Then the young woman told the information to me in English.The
