They say chocolate makes everything better, and apparently wagyu beef is no exception. For the past 10 years, the Mayura Station Farm in southern Australia has been feeding its wagyu cattle chocolate and other sweets mixed with their regular feed, and the results have been shocking.
When Scott de Bruin, managing partner at Mayura Station,
returned to his father's farm in the Limestone coast of Australia, in 1998, he knew he wanted to do something special to make their beef stand out. But he didn't know exactly how he was going to do that, so he consulted a cattle nutrition specialist from Japan and spent two years experimenting with different feed before deciding on the final daily ration(配给量) for his wagyu cows – a special mix of regular feed, chocolate, gummy bears, strawberries and cream flavored gummy snakes. Each cow eats up to 2 kilograms of ground and partially broken chocolate delivered by Cadbury's every day.
Adding chocolate to the daily diet of cows at Mayura Station started out as a simple experiment, but it ended up making their luxury beef one of the most appreciated in the world. “Many of my customers come to enjoy Mayura beef two to three times a week. They love how the beef has the perfect balance of fat, rich flavor and tender texture(质地),” Michelin star chef Umberto Bombana told Forbes Magazine.
Shane Osborn, Head Chef and Co-Owner of Arcane Restaurant in Hong Kong, added that its unique sweetness, hint of nuttiness and buttery texture make Mayura beef “the ultimate steak”.
Asked if the milk chocolate has a negative effect on the cattle's health, Scott de Bruin says “No, unlike humans – who may start eating chocolates at a very young age for over several decades – these cattle (raised on chocolates for only four months) won't see the long-term negative effects of chocolates in their system.”
As you can imagine, Mayura luxury beef is not cheap. Forbes reports that a 10.5oz-steak sells for $288, but those who can afford it claim it's worth every penny.
24. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To promote the act. B. To present happiness.
C. To show the author’s shock D. To introduce the topic.
25. What did Bruin do after returning to his father’s farm in 1998?
A. He began to work hard. B. He started to do research.
C. He came to learn about cows. D. He worked for a Japanese specialist.
26. Why did many customers come to enjoy Mayura beef frequently?
A. Because his service is the first class.
B. Because the price of beef is rather low.
C. Because his beef tastes good and nutritious.
D. Because his advertisement is fairly good.
27. What does Bruin think of the influence of the milk chocolate on cattle?
A. It has no bad influence in the long term. B. It has long-term effects.
C. It has short-term effects. D. It makes him puzzled.
C
American Baylor spends most of his time in New York, working as a performer in the Broadway musical—The Lion King．But since 2011, he has also spent weeks in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda．There, he teaches dance to boys who live on the street．His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company．The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment．
Baylor describes his students as genocide(种族屠杀) survivors. They have lost all of their families, some even have been in prison. “They have been through things that no one should ever have to go through,” said Baylor. Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they've never had before．They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes
and follow directions．
Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School．About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid. All the students are male, because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.
The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company, founded and directed by Rebecca Davis. Ms．Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Guinea．About 2,000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since it was begun in 2010．
As for Baylor, he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life. He is from Camden, New Jersey. Camden has sometimes been called America’s poorest and most dangerous city. Mr. Baylor says that growing up in Camden, it took a long time for him to find out what he wanted to do. He now thinks dancing saved his life.
28. It can be learned from the text that the children in Rwanda __________.
A. worked hard to win scholarships B. have committed violent crimes

29. In how many countries are the dance program launched?

Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted, new research suggests.
In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.
The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.
It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children’s eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.
Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, it’s important to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.
32. What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?
A. Continue to do their usual activities.
B. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.
C. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.
D. Participate in outdoor activities with parents.
33. What can we learn about the chemical dopamine?
A. It can control people’s growth. B. It can lead to poor sight.
C. It means low levels of light intensity. D. It is good to eyesight.
34. What does the underlined word “restrain” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. recover. B. increase. C. limit. D. convey.
35. What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.
B. How to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light.
C. How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.
D. How to design outdoor activities for kids to cure their nearsightedness.
三．七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
Like any good machine, the brain needs a little care and attention as it ages to ensure it continues to run in good working order. 36 .
Don’t lose faith in your abilities
As people get older, it’s easy to think that your memory is already poor. 37 . So if you do find yourself hesitating in a doorway not
really knowing where you are meant to be, just see it as a reminder to push your memory a little bit harder.
Learn a language or a musical instrument
38 , such as learning the piano or picking up a new language. Both rely on a wide skill set, exercising your memory, attention and so on.
39
Obesity can harm your brain in many ways. The good news is that certain nutrients seem to reduce age-related damage to the brain. This may explain why older people eating a typically Mediterranean diet tended to show the same cognitive skills as people 7.5 years their younger.

Do oil and water never mix together? Let’s do an experiment and find it out.
Here 71 what you need. You need a small soft drink bottle, some water, food coloring and two table-spoons of cooking oil.
Now I’ll tell you 72 to do. First, add a few 73 (drop) of food coloring to the water. Then, put about two tablespoons of the colored water along with the two tablespoons of cooking oil 74 the small soft drink bottle. After 75 (do) that, cover the bottle tight and shake it as hard as you can. Finally, put the bottle back down and have a look. It may have seemed as though the liquids were mixing together 76 the oil will float back to the top.
What’s happening? While water often mixes with other liquids, oil and water do not. Water molecules are 77 (strong) attracted to each other. This is 78 same for oil. They are more attracted to 79 (they) own molecules so they just don’t mix. The oil floats above the water because it is 80 (light) than water.
