21、 most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!” “What a proud flower!” thought the trees. As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry
22、 I am to be his neighbor!” The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.” Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎). One day the rose saw birds put their beaks
23、(喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus. “The cactus has water?” asked the rose. “Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the
24、 cactus for help.” The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

30、A. make no effort to study B. judge anyone only by their appearance C. dont dare to speak in public D. often argue with others C A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found
31、 that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases. For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad resultsit is also about developing good ones. In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Devel
32、opment (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the worlds countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒
33、). In the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”, researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about whats going on in their lives”. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to
34、use drugs and alcohol. Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better
35、social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的). Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with first- hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”. She adds that they may likely help the child have better commun

38、enefits of eating together B. the advantages of eating alone C. the ways of developing social skills D. the risks of using drugs and alcohol D As we are getting older and older, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not everyone is like this. Some people are super-agers, who
39、are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much younger people. Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age.

In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super- agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and m
41、emory was shown to be thicker in super- agers. “When we look at a super-agers brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80- year-old one”. Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. And they usually have healthy relationships and spend time wi
42、th friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and sad. Perhaps if we expect a little better from ourselves, well understand that not all getting old makes us sad”. Rogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees meaning they are special and few. She says she wants
43、 to find out why a super-agers mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most. The science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the research offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop health
44、y relationships. We may also become super-agers if we follow the advice. 42. Super-agers are people .

48、ge that will help us unlock our self- improvement power. However, theres always something staring at us right under our nose but we dont see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of
49、 our shirts and jeans fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We think about changing only when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽 视) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that we are just the way we ar
