I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So, I learnt I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash qu ickly. No surprise there: my dad was an accountant!It’s never too early to become money savvy (懂行). That’s what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education at school in England. Lewis says: “We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy (无知) in the UK —one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling popularity.”Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to compensate a large number of people who were persuaded to part with their cash and buy insurance policies they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments (投资) which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.The British say “taking care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves”. It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses. Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be saving and refuses any suggestion if he is tight. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express, “The better you are with your cash, the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am not.”24. The writer is good with money for the fact that .A. he lived in a poor familyB. he used to be short of moneyC. his father instructed him properlyD. his father limited his use of money25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Insurance may cheat.B. Banks often disappoint people.C. Many people are earless with money.D. The author encourages proper investments.26. What can we learn about Martin Lewis from the last paragraph?A. H e isn’t rich in fact.B. He is against big purchases.C. He advises people to spend less.D. He won’t be persuaded into buying.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Avoid running out of cash quicklyB. Learn to manage your moneyC. Earn money in a good wayD. Try to save moneyCUnlike reading and TV, modem devices are interactive rather than passive. Their connectivity to the outside world breaks into the bedroom. “They are causing sleep procrastination,” says Matthew Walker, a professor at the University of California.Experts say we need between 30 minutes and an hour of preparation before going to sleep to give our minds a chance to unwind from the stresses of the day. Things like reading a book, having a hot drink or doing a repetitive task like counting sheep all help. But when we pick up our phones, we are undoing that preparation our brains need by extending the day — together with all the stress and worry from it into our night-time hours.“We might feel perfectly sleepy a nd could drop off easily if the power went out and our phones didn’t work,” he says. “But when we pick up these devices it allows us to put off sleep. Often people will get into bed, someone will ping them on Facebook or send an email, and before they know it 20 to 30 minutes has gone.” “Sending a text message or checking your email means you are waiting for a response. Then once you put it down by your bedside, if you leave the phone on, there are all the pings,dings and other sounds that can wake you up during the night.”It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a good book or watching television in bed and using smartphones, tablets and laptops. The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.28. What does the underlined word “procrastination” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Loss.B. Trouble.C. Lack.D. Delay.29. Why does the author say modem devices are interactive rather than passive?A. They make users passive.B. They need wisdom to be used.C. They concern active activties.D. They are different from reading and TV.30. Paragrpah 3 mainly tells us .A. how the phone spoils our sleepB. when people should go to bedC. what electronic devices mean to usD. why we should shut off the phone when sleeping31. What does the last paragraph imply?A. There’s difference in the way we sleep.B. Reading or watching TV can help sleep.C. People spend too much time on the phone.D. We sleep much less using electronic devices.DKnown as GC-1, the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism (新陈代谢) of fat cells. “GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calorie with obesity (肥胖) 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 overtime.” 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 (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’s the fu nction of GC-1?A. Browning white fat.B. Storing white fat.A. Burning brown fat. D. Reducing brown fat.33. What do scientists now know about brown fat in human beings?A. It stops people from getting ill.B. It functions less as one grows.A. Babies have more of it. D. Adults lose it quickly.34. What does the test on mice show us about the drug?A. It’s safe.B. It’s effective.A. It needs further test. D. It can be used for humans.35. What is the purpose of the author writing this passage?A. To introduce the drug.B. To advertise the drug.C. To prove the use of the drug.D. To explain the development of the drug.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
