I initially thought my fly was open, or that something was stuck in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasn’t open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown.Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in, or expect me to listen to only “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The look of shock on my classmates’ faces made me uncomfortable.Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my best to work in school in order to reach my goals; and yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see skin of that same brown.I believe in being myself. I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what action I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends. And I’ve been told that it doesn’t get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but I’m not going to do that.24. Why did his classmates laugh at him?A. His fly was open.B. They had prejudice against him.C. He went into the wrong classroom.D. Something was stuck in his teeth.25. What are black people usually believed to do?A. Wear small clothes.B. Take Honors courses.C. Listen to rap music.D. Attend Spanish classes.26. What does the underlined word “colorblind” probably mean?A. Treating people equally and fairly.B. Having no idea what friends to make.C. Making friends of the same skin color.D. Feeling hurt and offended inside.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Following Popular TrendsB. Changing My PersonalityC. Having Faith in Skin ColorD. Being Content with MyselfCJust ask any new parent and you may have some idea of what effect a baby has on parents’career. Adding a baby to a household can also add stress to a career. Now, a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology， engineering,and mathematics (STEM) professionals become parents,43% of women and 23% of men switch fields, transition (转变)to part-time work, or leave the workforce entirely.Many researchers and parents already knew that STEM can be unwelcoming to parents, particularly mothers. But “the considerable departure was astonishing,” says Erin Cech, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and lead author of the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For both males and females, “the percentages were higher than we expected. ”The surprisingly high reduction rate for men also highlights that “parenthood in STEM is not just a mothers’ issue；it’s a worker issue,” Cech says. She hopes that the findings “might motivate changes，” such as more paid parental leave from both government and employers and policies that better support flexible work time without a tight routine. “We are not suggesting that people who want families should avoid STEM； that’s not the solution,” she emphasizes.By 2018 ,78% of new fathers were still working in STEM, the vast majority full time. For new mothers ,68% were still in STEM, but only 57% worked full time. For professionals without children, on the other hand ,84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2018. For the new parents across all fields,16% of women were working part-time and 15% had left the workforce, as compared with just 2% and 3%, respectively, for men. These sharp differences make clear that, even though the reduction rate for fathers is higher than expected, mothers still face particular career challenges.28. What makes many STEM employees change their jobs?A. Worrying about their family.B. The heavy burden at home and work.C. Being tired of the former jobs.D. The attraction of part-time jobs.29. Which statement may Erin Cech agree with?A. People with families should leave STEM.B. STEM professionals should obey the rules.C. Working at home may be a popular choice.D. Increasing welfare may keep STEM parents.30. How many new mothers among the labor force worked full time in 2018?A. 76%.B. 31%.C.57%.D. 69%.31. What does the author want to stress by listing the sharp differences?A. It’s harder for mothers to make a balance.B. Too many fathers leave STEM.C. It’s impossible to have a successful career.D. STEM jobs are no longer popular.DKnown 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（肥胖的） 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 inform people of some health knowledge.33.In the past, people held the belief that____________.A. animals don't have brown fatB. only human adults have brown fatC. human babies have brown fatD. brown fat may lose its activity over time34.What can we know about GC-1?A. It is a drug intended for mice.B. It is a cure for heart disease.C. It has been sold in the drug store.D. It can be used to treat obesity.35.Which of the following can make people lose weight?A. Increasing more white fat.B. Changing white fat into brown fat.C. Burning off more brown fat.D.
