Failing to obey the following list will result in losing your iPhone,” the contract says.

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often believe that more is better when it comes to kids and their things? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn how to live more with less earlier than I did.
I found the pre—holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less—used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金)——our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor.
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less?Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, at most. I chose a red rubber ball——the simplest and most common toy. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, and he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We were both lost in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I
had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
28．What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A．Giving the money to a sick mother.B．Raising money for a poor girl. C．Saving up for her holiday.D．Adding the money to her fund. 29．Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A．To train his attention.B．To try out an idea.
C．To show a parent's love.D．To help him start a hobby.
30．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The more kids have, the happier they will be.
B．Kids should sell their things to collect their school fund.
C．Parents can help their kids live with need, using less.
D．One toy can only keep kids' attention for a short time.
31．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Live More with Less B．Take It or Leave It
C．A Lesson from Kids D．The Pleasure of Giving To eat only a vegan (素食的) diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in 2017, veganism was described as "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement " in the UK, according to BBC news.
A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous 10 years, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 15—34 years old—42% of recent vegans fall under that age range.
So why exactly has veganism (素食主义) become so popular among young Brits?
One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, eating less meat is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat industry is believed to cause 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放), even more than that of all the world's cars, trains and planes combined. Another reason is that many of today's young people believe that it's wrong to kill animals to be used as food.
Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to become vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. "Becoming vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision," he told the Guardian.
Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism.
Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of "vegan celebrities (名人)", who share lips on vegan lifestyles.
Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that meat is very important for people's health. "A strict vegan diet makes it difficult to get some minerais and vitamins that your body needs," Wyness told BBC news.
However, veganism doesn't seem to become less popular. "It feels more like this is something that is sticking." said an expert of the Vegan Society, a UK charity that encourages veganism.
32．What can we learn about veganism, "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement" in UK? A．It has grown sharply in the past 10 years.
B．It is supported mainly by old people.
C．It has led to further market research.
D．It has created many popular dishes.
33．The following may be the reason for the increase in veganism EXCEPT ________. A．Young people prefer an environment-friendly life.
B．Meat industry increases the world's greenhouse gas.
C．Young people want to become ethical celebrities.
D．Social media allow the vegan message to spread quickly around.
34．The underlined word "sticking" in the last paragraph means _________. A．important B．special C．impressive D．lasting 35．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Veganism is bad for people's health.B．Young Brits are going vegan.
C．How to start a vegan lifestyle.D．Veganism is good for the environment 四、阅读回答问题
Your house may have an effect on your shape. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, because people are often less embarrassed (难为情) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough
window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors increase our hunger. In one study, people in a blue room eat 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more hungry, while cold colors make us less want to eat. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.
Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. It also makes you less likely to rush through a meal by turning on relaxing music.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12—inch plate instead of a 10—inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
36．How many suggestions are given in the text?
__________________________________________________________
37．Why are dark environments more likely to encourage overeating?
__________________________________________________________
38．Will people in a blue room eat less?
__________________________________________________________
39．How long do we try to make dinner last?

40．What is the passage mainly about?
