Known as GC-1,the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism(新陈代谢),or burning off,of fat cells.“GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate,essentially transforming white fat,which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease,into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,”said Kevin Phillips,a researcher in Houston.
Until several years ago,scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning,"good" brown fat.“It is now clear,”Phillips said,“that human adults do have brown fat,but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.”White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it.Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity.Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat,or change it into brown fat.
GC-1 works,according to Phillips.He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice,both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity,received GC-1 treatment daily.Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks,Phillips reported.He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements.The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes(适应性发热)in fat cells from mice.Cells grown in a dish,as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice,showed evidence of white-fat browning.“Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.
The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans.However,Phillips said it wouldn’t be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.
32.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To prove the harm of a new drug. B.To introduce a new drug to people.
C.To explain the development of a new drug. D.To inform people of some health knowledge.
33.In the past,people held the belief that______.
A.human babies have brown fat B.animals don’t have brown fat
C.only human adults have brown fat D.brown fat may lose its activity over time
34.What can we know about GC-1?
A.It can be used to treat obesity. B.It is a cure for heart disease.
C.It is a drug intended for mice. D.It has been sold in the drug store.
35.Which of the following can make people lose weight?
A.Increasing more white fat. B.Burning off more brown fat.
C.Changing white fat into brown fat. D.Slowing down the activity of brown fat.

Major airplane manufacturers are now moving to develop the future of flight with electric planes and personal flying vehicles.
Boeing is one of those companies. It recently invested in Zunum Aero, a company working to build electric aircraft for commercial flights. Zunum is based in the northwestern U.S. state of Washington. It says it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs.
By the early 2020s, the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on trips up to 1,100 kilometers. It says the cost of such flights could be as low as $ 25 each way.
Zunum noted on its website that, while America has more than 13,500 airports, 97 percent of all air traffic goes through just 140 larger hubs. By traveling through smaller airports, passengers can greatly reduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long security lines.
JetBlue was another major company to invest in Zunum. The head of JetBlue’s investment group, Bonnie Simi, said Zunum fits the airline’s desire to “seek new technologies to change the game.” She praised the company for developing “quiet, environmentally-friendly aircraft” for sustainable travel.
Zunum’s planes will be powered by two large engines at the back. The aircraft will be “hybrid-electric,” meaning they rely mostly on battery power, but also bum fuel when needed.
The goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes, although most experts believe this could take many years. This is because battery technology still has a long way to go to provide long-lasting power, but not be too heavy for the aircraft.
Other companies have released plans to release flying cars a lot sooner than that. Slovakia-based engineering company AeroMobil is preparing to show the world its latest model this week.
AeroMobii is showing the car at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco. No launch date or prices have been announced, but the company says it will be taking pre-orders this year.
32. Electric aircraft may have the following advantages EXCEPT .
A. lower costs B. Shorter flight time
C. fewer passengers D. shorter security lines
33. What is Bonnie Simi’s attitude toward Zunum’s electric aircraft?
A. Doubtful B. Positive C. Uncaring D. Disapproving
34. Why will Zunum’s electric planes still need fuel?
A. Because fuel is easier to get. B. Because battery may not be stable.
C. Because planes won’t start without fuel. D. Because battery may not last long enough.
35. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that .
A. Flying cars must be ordered in advance
B. Flying cars will appear on the market this year
C. The prices of flying cars are still unknown
D. Flying cars are more popular than electric planes

In today’s times, health problems like diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure are not restricted to adults, but have become a common phenomenon among children too. 36
Due to this lack of activity and no control on the food they eat, many children suffer from the problem of obesity at a very young age. 37 Hence, it becomes the responsibility of the parents to teach children important ways to remain healthy.
At a very young age, teach the kids to eat all types of food, like fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. 38 Cultivate the habit of eating breakfast as it is said to be the most important meal of the day. Eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast helps their body to develop energy for the physical and mental activities of the day.
Indulging in daily outdoor games with friends is more than enough physical exercise for children. Parents should see to it that their kids do not spend their entire time in front of the television or playing video games. 39
40 Children require 9-13 hours of sleep, depending on their age group. Lack of sleep in children can cause problems like lack of attention at school, feeling sleepy during the day, poor academic performance, etc. Hence, parents must ensure that their children receive sufficient sleep.
Other than these tips, it is important to teach kids proper hygiene (卫生学) rules like regular washing of hands, brushing their teeth, etc., so that they are not affected by infections. Remember, by doing this you are not only providing them a hale and hearty childhood, but also ensuring a healthy future.
A. It further leads to other serious diseases or illnesses.
B. Rest and sleep are two important factors to keep children healthy.
C. Habits we learn during our childhood stay with us throughout our life.
D. Explain the importance of eating the right food and exercising to your kids.
E. Their meals should be divided into five or six small meals throughout the day.
F. They should encourage them to take part in sports and other physical activities.
G. The main reason for this can be attributed to their like towards fast food and lack of activity.
