21、Fashion and Identity

For hundreds of years people have put some message in the type of clothing they wore. Long ago people started wanting to stand out from the “crowd” and be different from other people by means of changing their clothing. Some examples of these “standing out” became very popular and were followed by more people.【1】Nowadays, fashion has become a necessary part of one’s self-realization and clothing is basically a covering designed to be worn on a person’s body. This covering is a “necessity”, which brings a lot of variety into the lives of people and makes their image more complete.

The type of clothing completely depends on the person wearing it and becomes a reflection of personal identity. Lately, a lot is being heard about its meaning in the life of every single person on the planet. The choice of clothing is as important as identification through the color of hair, skin and gender. As every piece of clothing carries a strong message about its owner, every owner “nests” a certain value in it depending on his mindset or today’s mood. Therefore, the clothing of a person is a means of communication with the outside world.【2】

Clothes have a significant impact on the understanding of the people nearby as well as the person wearing them. For instance, a suit can make a person feel more confident and organized, which would eventually change even the gestures of the person. 【3】 Sometimes, fashion may play a vital role in a person’s life, especially when the person is applying for the job he wants. Fashion also creates a message that is required by a situation the person finds himself in. This can be simply proved by analyzing one’s reaction on people wearing different types of clothing.【4】 Thus, even the smallest companies make wearing a suit one of the requirements for their employees.

【5】 Fashion, with all its symbolism and features, form an outstanding base for personal and cultural identification. It is a part of the self-realization that is required for finding a place in life and has become a tool for achieving harmony with the inner world. The more diverse the society around us, the more fashion-trend will appear and surprise us.

A.Fashion helps us realize our dreams.

B.This was the moment when fashion appeared.

C.Fashion and identity are inseparable companions.

D.Clothing was designed to serve people in their daily life.

E.The preference is always given to people dressed in “business style”.

F.It is the way of telling people about the “state” and the “status” of its owner.

G.Wearing jeans after a suit may change the conduct of a person to a very casual one.

22、A team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now manipulate(操纵) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed(抑制). It’s said that the technology could one day have medical applications.

In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers(杠杆) they pressed first, then to press the other lever.

As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in each creature’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activity involved in making a solid memory.

Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated (刺激) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals’ performance in the task got even better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the“correct”one for a longer period of time.

The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats’ memories with a drug called Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals’ brain cells were later stimulated with the“correct”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press.

“What’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the‘good’ patterns—the patterns when the animal got the task right—it did appear to improve memory,”said Dean Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California.

The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke(中风) and epilepsy(癫痫症) and the like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help sufferers of post-traumatic(创伤后) stress disorder.

But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

“Here ,it’s a simple task,”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans’ memories are very rich and specific…

“We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved,”he said.

【1】How does“the technology”in Paragraph 1 act?

A.It manipulates brain cells.

B.It stores memories in the hippocampus.

C.It activates memories stored in the brain.

D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain.

【2】.In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment?

a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat’s hippocampus.

b.Suppress the rat’s memory with a drug called MK801.

c.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern.

d.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time.

e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed.

A.a, e, b, c, d B.a, e, c, d, b

C.e, a, c, d, b  D.e, a, c, b, d

【3】When their nerves were stimulated, the rats   .

A.forgot their task

B.completed the task better

C.made no errors in their task

D.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time

【4】What can we infer from the article?

A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves.

B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely.

C.Using the study to improve humans’ memories still face many challenges.

D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

23、   A large﹣scale study has found a link between eating a diet based on organic food and having a reduced risk of cancer． If the new results are confirmed， promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against the disease， a team of researchers from several French institutions said．

Among the environmental risks for cancer， there are growing concerns about exposure to different types of pesticides（杀虫剂） from farming． The impact of such chemicals on the human body is still not well understood but there are some indications that harmful effects can occur even at low concentrations．

Meanwhile， pushed by environmental and health concerns， the organic food market continues to grow rap﹣idly． Organic food is produced without the use of synthetic（合成的） fertilizers， pesticides， genetically modified organisms， and the use of veterinary（兽医的） medications．

"Organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional foods， and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticide，" Julia Baudry， lead author of the study from the Centre of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics in France， told Newsweek．

"In the general population， the primary route of exposure is diet， especially intake of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables． However， few studies have examined the association of organic food consumption with cancer risk． "

For the study， published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine， a team of researchers examined data on the organic food consumption frequency and dietary intake of 68，946 French adults collected by an ongoing survey which began in 2009． They then followed up on these people at various points in the future．

Participants reported how often （never， occasionally or most of the time） they consumed 16 types of organic foods including fruits， vegetables， soy﹣based products， dairy products， meat and fish， eggs， grains and legumes， bread and cereals， flour， vegetable oils and condiments， ready﹣to﹣eat meals， coffee， tea， and herbal tea， wine， biscuits， chocolate， sugar and so on．

【1】What is the finding of the study？

A. Promoting organic food consumption may help to prevent diseases．

B. Processed food consumption may lead to an increased risk of cancer．

C. Organic food consumption can help cure cancer in a short time．

D. Eating a diet based on organic food may lead to the risk of cancer．

【2】Why is organic food becoming popular nowadays？

A. Because organic food market continues to grow rapidly．

B. Because people care about environment and health issues．

C. Because organic food never contains harmful chemicals．

D. Because organic food is produced in a clean environment．

【3】Which of the following is the advantage of organic food？

A. Organic food never contains harmful pesticide remains．

B. Organic food is less likely to be exposed to some pesticides．

C. Different types of pesticides won't affect organic food．

D. Organic food won't be influenced by outside environment．

【4】What might the article go on describing after the last paragraph？

A. The researching process of the study．

B. The disadvantages of organic food

C. The current consumption of organic food．

D. The bright future of organic food．

24、Probably one thing that Armenians wouldn’t forget when they sit at the table is bread. Armenians knew how to make wine and bake bread from the ancient times. Perhaps the pride of Armenian cuisine is the traditional and national bread Lavash.

Lavash is a traditional Armenian thin bread. The preparation of this demands special skills and great effort. In most cases, making tools is the duty of men but preparing bread is the job of women.

Generally, tondir, the most important tool, is located underground. For making Lavash, Armenians use flour, water, and salt. Firstly they make dough (面团) from flour, water and form them into balls. Then the balls are rolled into thin layers and stretched over a cushion. After preparing them with a special skill slap against the walls of the tondir. Waiting for a minute or thirty seconds, pull the already baked list from the wall.

According to tradition, the preparation was a ritual (仪式) of every family. Making dough was the duty of the elder women of the family and the preparation of it started with the rising of the Sun. Firstly they made the fire, then started making it. The process was accompanied by nice conversations, songs, and jokes.

Want to know what is the tastiest Armenian sandwich? Of course, it is made from Lavash, salty tasty cheese, greens and meats.

In July 2014 Lavash was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List as an expression of Armenian culture. Besides the cuisine, Lavash has a ritual role in weddings. When the couple comes to the groom’s house, his mother puts a list of Lavash on the shoulders of newly married couples as a sign of prosperity (繁荣).

Though the pride of the Armenian cuisine has a rich history and ancient origin, it still remains the top symbol of national dishes.
