Heart health depends upon various factors like age, gender, activity level, overall health, etc. The ideal rate for men, women, children, babies is different. While checking the overall fitness, or any health problem, doctors first check the resting heart rate (RHR)of an individual and then refer to the recommended rate for the age and gender.The maximal number of times that one’s heart can contract per minute (without any damage)is called maximum heart rate (Max HR). The resting heart rate (RHR)is calculated when the person is resting. The working heart rate (WHR)is calculated during exercise, or immediately after performing strong exercise. The average of heart rates measured at different times during a workout is called average HR. The recovery HR, which is measured two minutes after the exercise, can be used to evaluate your fitness level. For example, you exercise at 155 WHR, and when you stop exercising, your HR decreases to 95, then 95 is called your recovery HR.The RHR calculator helps calculate RHR. When you wake up in the morning, rest for l0 minutes and then measure the pulse rate for 10 seconds, and multiply it by 6, to get the RHR. The unit of HR is Beats Per Minute (BPM). If you know the normal RHR for your age and gender, you can compare yours with it. The normal RHR for adults can be anywhere between 60 to 70 BPM. Lance Armstrong, the racing cyclist, regularly records an excellent HR of 30 to 35 BPM! The heart can pump the blood to all parts of the body more efficiently as the fitness level rises. An efficient heartbeats less number of times per minute, especially when you are resting. The higher level of RHR shows how harder the heart has to work . The condition where RHR of more than 100 beats per minute is noticed is called tachycardia(心动过速)21. What can we refer about the measurement of heart rate in Paragraph 1?A. It cures the patient of his / her heart disease in time.B. It gives the patient some kind of comfort in crisis.C. It helps doctors to find abnormal signs of heart pumping.D. It is recommended to be a regular check of overall health.22. What is the working heart rate according to the passage?A. It is calculated during exercise.B. It is calculated when the person is resting.C. It is measured after the exercise.D. It is measured two minutes before exercise.23. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. How to develop RHR.B. What is the unit of HR.C. How to measure RHR.D. What is the ideal RHR.24. Why is Lance Armstrong mentioned?A. To inspire US to be an excellent racing cyclist.B. To tell us the lower RHR level is better than the faster.C. To advise US to get into the habit of record the heart rate.D. To inspire US to exercise regularly to lower the heart rateBThe Lifecycle of a T-shirtWe all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? You’d probably be surprised to learn what’s involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.There are 5 major stages: material, production, shipping, use and disposal. The material stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber (纤维)and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US.Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc.—these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater.After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stage. This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服) are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck…all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.l5 pounds per mile.Once the T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times you’ve washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers.The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down. Current US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.We all need new clothes every once in a whi le, but let’s all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing. . . It has a real impact on the planet.There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycle clothes. If they’re tooworn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turndown the thermostat on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.25. The underlined phrase “takes a toll” probably means “”A. wastes waterB. takes a lot of timeC. uses energyD. has a bad effect26. We can learn from the passage that in the US,A. pesticides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every yearB. CO2 emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mileC. about 15% of the clothes and shoes are made of materials that are recycledD. about 16,000 gallons of water is used annually by an average family on laundry27. What can be inferred from this passage?A. The production process may affect water safety.B. The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.C. Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.D. The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.28. What is the purpose of this article?A. To encourage people to donate clothes to charity.B. To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.C. To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.D. To introduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing.CMost kids love breaks, but for Hannah Kristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day. “I never got to do anything except sit there, “she recalls.Hannah was born with a disease that kept the bones in her back from forming properly. She uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah is one of 5 million kids in the United States who cannot use traditional playground equipment because of some type of disability.Then Hannah heard about Boundless Playgrounds -playgrounds without limits for children with disabilities. The wonderful group behind Boundless Playgrounds helps communities create special playgrounds for children ofall abilities. There are swings and sandboxes specially designed for kids with physical disabilities. Kids with vision problems can enjoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since her hometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannah helped raise money for this new kind of playground.The inspiration for Boundless Playgrounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It is named Jonathans Dream in honor of her son. Jonathan’s Dream and many Boundless Playgrounds around the c ountry have a glider swing that can be used by kids who use wheelchairs and their friends. The glider swing at Jonathans Dream was designed by Matthew Cavedon, who wasn’t even 10 years old at the time. Matthew was motivated because he used a wheelchair himself and wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities.The basic idea behind Boundless Playground is that play is both part of the joy of childhood and an important way for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment as well as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and loneliness for those who can’t join i n the fun.Contrary to some strict ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. That’s why it is inviting and fun for all children. And for Hanna, Matthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream that comes true.29. What did Hannah Kristan do?A. She designed Boundless Playground.B. She invented a swing for the disabled.C. She collected money for the playground.D. She donated equipment to her hometown.30. We can learn from the passage that Boundless PlaygroundsA. provide training instructions for the disabledB. borrowed the idea from Jonathans DreamC. were invented by Amy Jaffe BarzachD. are financed by communities31. What is Hanna and Matthew’s dream?A. To overcome their disabilities.B. To receive special physical training.C. To get equal chances of playing and learning.D. To acquire understanding from their follow students.DDo two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue in the comment section.Badmofaux(China)When you decide to have another child, you should plan your budget in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your baby, you have to at least spend an extra 5,000 yuan per month to hire a babysitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another l million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.Bucu(US)Two is more than twice the wor k. There is no guaranteeing they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as childr en are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.Steven(US)I always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems, I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical and financial resources. If I had any more children, I don’t think I could handle it.William(China)Under the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The little emperors have no idea of sharing and giving and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.32. Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?A. Badmofaux.B. Bucu.C. Steven.D. William.33. We can learn from the passage that .A. the one-child policy has a passive effect on children’s character in some wayB. raising a second child means parents should work twice as hard as beforeC. a second child can help protect the first child from life-threatening diseaseD. young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense to raise a second child34. Which of the following statements is True?A. Badmofaux plans to send her kids to study abroad.B. Bucu thinks more children means more trouble.C. Steven never considers having a second child.D. William suggests children should be self-centered.35. Where can we most probably find this passage?A. travel guideB. newspaperC. websiteD. magazine选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
