Or
20、beauty shop?” I sighed. I really didnt have time to play. I desperately needed to get some work done. But then I had an idea. “Can we play beauty shop while I work?” So I got my article done, and my toenails(脚趾甲) painted at the same time. My oldest, Austin, volunteered to prepare lunch so I could ke

23、ey were lit up with excitement. I nodded, realizing how right he was. Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances.

27、als in the world. But many of these species may be in danger. Bushes and lowlying plants have started to take up too much space on the forest floor, providing fuel for wildfires. So scientists are considering using giant tortoises to help prevent the forest fires and thereby help the native wildlife
28、 in Madagascar.Why? Long ago, giant tortoises lived all over Madagascar. They ate up many plants that grew on the forest floor. They also spread the seeds of native trees keeping the ecosystem in check. But when humans settled on the island over 2,000 years ago, hunting caused the giant tortoises na
29、tive to the island to become extinct.Now, scientists plan to ship 300 close relatives of the extinct Madagascaran tortoises to the island. They hope that these tortoises will spread the seeds of native plants and chow_down_on the extra bushes just like their relatives did long ago.To find the relati
30、ves, scientists studied the fossils (化石) of Madagascars extinct giant tortoises. They discovered that they were actually very similar to another group of giant tortoises that live on the Aldabra Atoll, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. When the tortoises first arrive in Madagascar, they will l
31、ive in an area closed off from the rest of the wildlife. There, researchers will watch the tortoises every move to see how they will react to the native plants. If all goes well, the tortoises will be released into the wild.Similar practice has been successful in other places. Take the island of Rod
32、rigues, located east of Madagascar, for example. Seven years ago, tortoises were brought there. Now they are spreading seeds and keeping the bushes from taking over. If the same thing works in Madagascar, the giant tortoises may be used to help out other forests around the world.语篇解读：非洲岛国马达加斯加为防止森林火
33、灾和保持生态平衡，考虑引进一种Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, lets think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refr
34、eshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the yea
35、r. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans co
36、uld be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come
37、together and think beyond each persons circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for elec
38、tric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.28. Whats the authors attitude towards the
39、open-door practice of the street shops?A. Favorable. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.29. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A. To follow an old practice.B.

Green buildings call for integrated designDSmartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers attention from driving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏) videos. But
42、the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just as easily increase physical activity if it pushes its owners buttons in the right way.New research shows that making social connections through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more. And a separate study on this summers “Pokemon Go” phe
43、nomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual. Together, the studies show the potential for smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average ov
44、er the next week, compared with people who made no social connections, according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at Stanford University. The effect of social connections declined, but remained significant for five months before the numbers fell back even with users who made no conne
45、ctions.Such insights show the promise of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems-that even people who want to be active have trouble staying active.An NBA videogame, for example, gives players extra powers in the game if they reach a step goal in real life.
46、 The app “Zomies, Run!” uses audio stories to push people to run more or run faster.Still, there is room for growth: Only about 4% of all health apps use “gamification,” such as point-scoring or competition, according to a study published in October in BMJ Open. “Gamification is actually quite close
