We looked through the Styles archive(档案文件) of 2015, sorting through the many tips and tricks throughout our stories. Our subjects are about what you wear, what you consume and how you love.     36  

1. Wear comfortable underwear.

“I only wear granny panties(内裤),” said Julia Baylis, 22. Mayan Toledano, 27, added: “What’s sexy for us is being natural and comfortable.”   37 

2. Stare into the eyes of someone you love (or want to love) for exactly four minutes.

Not two. Not three. Four. “   38   ” said Mandy Len Catron, the author of a Modern Love column on the exercise. “Four really takes effect.”

3. Be nice to babies.

Even if they're screaming on a plane. Nyfesha Miller became a social media star after taking care of her seatmate's crying infant on a flight earlier this year.

4.   39  

It may be true that you can't really cure depression, so you can only get better at living with it. But raising a kitten（小猫）seemed to help one depressed man.

5. Make sure you are the boss of your electronic devices.

Rather than the other way around.   40  That’s the most important for us to keep the laws.

6. Enjoy the phrase 'I'm too old for this.'

“There is also something profoundly liberating about aging: an attitude, one that comes hard won,” wrote Dominique Browning. “Only when you hit 60 can you begin to say: ‘I’m too old for this.’ This line is about to become my personal motto.”

Dear Peter,

    Yours,

Li Hua

I have been in Limoges for a month now. since living here, I have tried to integrate(融合) into the local community and one way I have found to do this is by following the local rugby team.

I decided to look for information on the local rugby team after the tourism office could not help me. I searched for the club office online and decided to look into it. The following day I went back to the club after speaking with them and decided to get a season ticket for the rest of my stay here. I will now be going to each home game as well as travelling to the away games with the team and the fans. I am sure that it is going to be a great experience during my time abroad here. I will also be travelling through various regions of France so I will be visiting new places throughout the season. There is another team in a town called Brive not so far away who play in the top league in France, but I decided to stay local. I may go and see them with other assistants if possible during our stay.

   I witnessed a friendly match on Saturday when they played Stade Dijon in the division below them. The match finished 70-12. After the match, both teams went to the club house to see the Rugby World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and Australia. Both teams respected each others which is something you don’t always see in other sports. I spoke to the president of the club after the game and he told me, “This is a family club.” Hopefully this year will be a good year for Limoges.

21. How did the writer try to combine into Limoges' community?

A. By taking part in the local rugby team.

B. By watching the rugby matches in Limoges,

C. By playing often with the people in Limoges.

D. By paying close attention to the local rugby team.

22. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to_____________,

A. the club office             B. the local rugby team

C. the tourism office          D. the local community

23. Why did the two teams go to the club house aft6r the match?

A. To show respect to each other.

B. To watch the Rugby World Cup semi-final.

C. To clean the club together.

D. To exchange experience with each other.

24. What can we infer from the text?

A. The writer must be a top rugby player.

B. The writer is likely to be a boss of a rugby club.

C The writer is likely to come from Australia.

D. The writer probably works as an assistant in France.

Europe’s deadly outbreak of a rare form of E. coli bacteria (大肠杆菌) has brought new attention to food safety issues. One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick?

Of course, one way to avoid these medical mysteries is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways.

Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech optical scanner. The system is designed to identify the presence of contaminants(致污物) like soil or animal waste on fresh produce. These can be sources of E. coli. E. coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines(肠) of humans and many animals. Most kinds of E. coli are harmless but some can make people sick.

The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.

Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.

MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to detect contamination in produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”

The scanner uses a high-speed camera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit.

Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.

MOON KIM: “We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years.”

The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventers hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.

Even as I write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather   41    , but when a large number of Smile Cards arrived in my   42   the other day, having traveled all the way from the United States to my home in the Netherlands, I knew things were about to    43     .

I     44     where to leave the cards as I went to bed that night: the train, benches at the station, at work, libraries, mailboxes, the gym - the possibilities   45     endless.

I woke up, went to work, and afterwards, I went     46     to the shop to buy some candy bars, planning to leave them as anonymous(匿名的)    47     for people on the train. However,    48    my early morning train, my train home was extremely crowded. An elderly man must have seen me searching for a place to    49     a Smile Card, because he asked me if I was looking for something.

Right then I    50     that my first Smile Card would not be anonymous. With a big smile and cheeks  51     with excitement, I told him that I    52   what I was looking for,    53    him the candy bar and Smile Card I had in my hands. He had only just finished reading the card    54        I arrived at my stop, but he was still smiling and   55  his candy as I waved at him from the    56    .

 57    having worked a full day, I almost bounced(跳) home. Before I entered my apartment, I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy bars to people's mailboxes. I added an    58     candy bar for a neighbor who I knew was in a difficult financial    59    , but who I saw working hard everyday to get the very best for her young son. I figured they both    60     a tasty little treat.

There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They’re hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don’t understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them, you might want to think again.

How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. It’s something called “face saving” in the Asian culture. It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.

    Americans are very different from Asian people. If you’re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people.

    If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don’t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, you’re just doing your job. Of course, it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind.

32. The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because______.

A. their cultures are different                    B. they don’t like each other

C. both of them are too proud               D. they have different political views

33. The underlined phrase “face saving” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.

A. saving some money for later use             B. making faces to please your boss

C. showing some respect to somebody           D. helping somebody out of trouble

34. From the third paragraph we can know that it is difficult_________.

A. for the Asians to accept the culture in America

B. for the Americans to adapt to the culture in China

C. for people to learn the culture in a foreign country

D. for people to follow the culture in their own country

35.The negative remarks an American boss gives on your work probably mean he/she_______________.

A. doesn’t like you any longer             B. thinks you are not worth respecting

C. offer you some better advice      D. wants you to improve your work

 Bad teeth can be painful and even be deadly. Infections of the gums (牙龈) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, a 12­year­old boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain in 2007 in Washington. Experts said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care he needed.

Experts say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk，they say，is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say a baby’s gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding by using a cloth with a little warm water. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, give only water.

When baby teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (釉质)，the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.

But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully watched when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a pea, should be used. 

Parents often wonder what effect finger sucking might have on their baby’s teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their fingers by the age of four. If it continues，experts advise parents to talk to their children’s dentists or doctors because it could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth. 

Dentists say children should have their first dental visit at least by the time they are one year old. They say babies should be examined when their first teeth appear—usually at around six months. 

8．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．Bad teeth can be a threat to people’s health.

B．Bad teeth come along with other health problems.

C．Tooth infections can spread to brain easily.

D．Dental care should be done at an early age. 

9．According to the passage, what is the function of fluoride?

A．Making the surface on teeth much cleaner.

B．Protecting gums from being infected.

C．Keeping holes on teeth from forming.

D．Slowing down bacterial growth and acid production. 

10．The underlined phrase “interfere with” in Para.5 probably means________.

A．do harm to          B．account for   

C．contribute to        D．stand for 

11．What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A．To warn us of the deadly infections of gums and teeth.

B．To introduce the advantages of fluoridated toothpaste.

C．To draw our attention to the dental care of young children.

D．To present the research results about dental care.
