Its March,” I said. “It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had, Im convinced its dead.” The truth is hes never liked
23、 the crab apple. Sure, it has beautiful blooms in the spring, but then it gets a disease, the leaves curl, and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway. Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead. Eventually I began to believe him. Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss, the
24、re was a twinkle in his eye. He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming. A branch here, a branch there, a small limb, then a large limb. I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk. I broke one off and saw green. The crab apple was not dead
25、. It just hadnt had time to leaf out. The tree was now falling to one side, but it was not dead. I would have told him so, but he had moved on to a maple. Once the man starts, he cant stop.

30、. Anxious. B. Humorous. C. Serious. D. Critical. C More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and its likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups. Scientist
31、s claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffees bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest. To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups - blue,
32、white and transparent glass - to do an experiment. In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated wi
33、th coffees bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. “Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的 ) taste and flavor of coffee,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential ef
34、fects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” “Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that caf owners, baristas (服务员 ), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the colour of their cups, ” he added. However,

People are starving themselves to lose weight, with a dieting trend known as the “fast diet” growing in
40、popularity. The method is also known as the 5:2 diet, and consists of eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days. Men consume just 600 calories on the two fast days, while women are limited to 500 calories. Notably, the two
41、 fasting days should not be back-to-back. The dieter should have at least one normal eating day in between. In the best-selling book The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent (断断续续的 ) Fasting by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, the two autho
42、rs claim that the 5:2 diet not only promotes weight loss, but also benefits health, offering protection from disease, improved cognitive (认知的 ) function and increased lifespan.

44、about 20 kilograms. “Actually I did not exactly rely on the 5:2 diet to lose weight. My fasting was more extreme. I almost completely cut off my supper every day and only ate some fruit. I also used an app to calculate the calories in the food I ate and was cautious of not eating any high-calorie fo
45、od. I did about an hours aerobic exercise (有氧运动 ) every day. Fasting is definitely effective, but I think sports also help,” he says. “I do not really believe that fasting is the magical cure-all (灵丹妙药 ), but my high blood sugar has improved,” he adds. The US Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says
46、that although there is evidence that intermittent fasting diets may help prevent chronic disease, more research is needed. Han Ting, a clinic nutritionist of Shanghai Tenth Peoples Hospital, says that people who suffer diabetes (糖尿病 ) or eating disorders, pregnant women, kids, teens and frail senior
47、s should not try fasting. She recommends a regular low -calorie diet, which is safer and less risky for health. When on a fasting diet, on the weekly fasting days, Han recommends low-fat, low-sugar, and low-protein food, such as vegetables, yogurt, non-fat milk, shellfish and fruits with high dietary fiber (食用纤维 ). 32.
