If you want to slow aging, you might want to eat less. This finding is good news---if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.
John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.
Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.” They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.
The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.
The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cell’s energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”
Price said, “ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained, “you don’t throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.”
“Food,” he said, “isn’t just material to be burned---it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.” Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”
1.What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?
A. They can keep healthy easily

B. They need more energy to be active
C. They can look younger than they are
D. They will live a longer life like humans
2.What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?
A. They will completely break down
B. They make proteins in the cells slowly
C. They will produce high quality proteins more
D. They may need more time to repair themselves
3.Price explained the ribosomes’ role of repairing themselves by _________.
A. telling a story B. listing basic data
C. making comparisons D. experimenting on mice
4.What does the text mainly deal with?
A. Food decides how long you live

A recent survey shows that storytelling ranks before television or video games among pastimes (消遣) for kids. The survey was carried out among 500 children aged 3—4 in Britain, of __1__over threequarters said they wished their parents could read to them more often. Almost twothirds of the kids said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep __2__(well) and more easily.

They can also make their own special sounds to keep the story __5__(interest) and attractive. When Mom and Dad aren't at hand, over 30% of kids would like to hear __6__bedtime story from famous people like Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. Other movie stars like Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson __7__(welcome) by children, too.
“__8__can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children. But these moments can help build close relationship __9__parents and children, and also can play an important part in their child's __10__ (develop),” said child psychologist Woolfson.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。一项调查显示,孩子对听故事的兴趣要大于看电视或者玩视频游戏。文章通过一些数据告诉人们孩子喜欢听故事,同时,父母和孩子一起读故事也可以让他们之间建立更亲密的关系。
1.whom 考查定语从句的引导词。句意:这项调查是在英国500个3至4岁的孩子中间进行的,其中超过四分之三的孩子说,他们希望父母能经常给他们读故事。分析句子结构可知,逗号后的句子是一个定语从句,解释说明先行词500 children,引导词在从句中作介词of的宾语,且指代先行词,故用whom来引导。
2.better 考查副词的比较级。句意:差不多有三分之二的孩子说,跟父母一起读故事能帮助他们睡得更香、更易入睡。根据下文中的比较级more easily可以推断,设空处也用比较级。故填better。
3.to become 考查非谓语动词。句意:根据这项调查,有两个让父母成为讲故事好手的方法。“There be+n.+to do”结构中,动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词,表示将要发生的事。根据句意可知,此处填动词不定式to become。
4.funny 考查词性转换。句意:他们可以用一些有趣的声音来表现故事中不同的角色。修饰名词用形容词形式。故填名词fun的形容词形式funny,意为“有趣的”。
8
5.interesting 考查词性转换。句意:他们也可以用自己特有的声音使故事有趣,有吸引力。在“keep sth.+adj.”结构中,形容词作宾补;并列连词and连接两个相同词性的成分,故此处用形容词interesting “有趣的”,修饰物。
6.a 考查冠词。句意:当父母不在身边时,超过30%的孩子喜欢从一些名人那里听到睡前故事,比如《哈利·波特》的主角丹尼尔·拉德克利夫。根据句意可知,这里泛指一个故事,故填不定冠词a。
7.are welcomed 考查动词的语态和主谓一致。句意:其他的电影明星像扎克·埃弗龙、米利·赛勒斯和埃玛·沃森也深受孩子们喜欢。主语是复数名词stars,且动词welcome与主语之间为被动关系,故填被动形式are welcomed。
8.It 考查代词。句意:父母很难找到时间和孩子们一起读故事。“It is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.”结构中,it是形式主语,动词不定式短语是真正的主语。故填代词It。
9.between 考查介词。句意:但是这些时刻有助于父母与子女建立亲密的关系,同时对孩子的发展也很重要。between ... and ... 为固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”。
10.development 考查词性转换。名词所有格后接名词形式。故填动词develop的名词形式development “发展”。
***完形填空。

finishing homework in the last place. Additionally, I will make a list of my important task including their due dates but follow my schedule strictly. I will avoid find excuses for putting them off.

答案:
Getting rid of the bad habit of procrastination (拖延症) is now my goal in life. My first step to set small targets can be reached realistically. For example, I plan to set a timetable for my study. So after school, I will put finishing homework in the place. Additionally, I will make a list of my important including their due dates follow my schedule strictly. I will avoid excuses for putting them off. At same time, I will ask my friends and parents to help me. By achieving small targets, I have that I will overcome procrastination.
难项分析:
第二处:what→that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,本句是一个含有定语从句的复合句,先行词targets在定语从句中作主语,指物,应用that/which来引导该从句。
第五处:but→and 考查连词。根据上下文可知,make和follow两个动作之间是递进关系,故用and。
第十处:confident→confidence 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用confident的名词形式confidence作have的宾语。
