] B(2019·六市联考)
Art has always been a vital part of my life.When I was old enough to appreciate genuine fine art，my parents started bringing me to museums that housed works of the greatest artists in the world.
When my art teacher asked us to do a Cubist(立体派的) drawing，my first thought was that she was just joking.I didn't like Cubism.I thought to do so means making fun of the true artists I admired.Unwillingly，I began to find out items for my drawing.I carelessly drew the objects all from different view points.The pictures all looked like a mess of lines and shapes anyway，but I was more concerned with how many more minutes were in the period because I was hungry.Yet，the other part of me was growing quieter.I began to take my task seriously and darken specific lines. I stared at my drawing and determined which ones
needed to be emphasized. I was soon shading certain shapes black and they brought out important figures.It must be absolutely perfect.
When I showed her my finished drawing，my teacher looked at me with her huge smile and simply stated，“You are a Cubist.”At that moment the world stopped moving.My cubist drawing was the best piece of art I had ever created，not because I had spent the most time on it but because I had felt it.I thought of how I produced it.Once I felt frustrated，trying to perfect my black lines.Another time I was delighted in breathing life into the drawing by adding color.All of these emotions showed themselves in my work，giving it life that none of my previous works had had. Cubism set me free, showing everything I knew，everything I was，and everything I wished I could be.I had found the missing link，and the world began to move again.

C(2020·绵阳市一诊)
A study has found that middle­aged and older adults who live in greener neighborhoods have a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome(新陈代谢综合征) such as obesity，hypertension(高血压) and hyperglycaemia(高血糖)．
The study，published in Environmental Pollution，was conducted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health(ISGlobal)．It differed from previous studies on the health benefits of green spaces in that it examined all of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome together rather than as individual components.Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of developing heart disease，a stroke and type 2 diabetes，according to the National Heart，Lung，and Blood Institute.
The study from ISGlobal examined data from clinical examinations of over 6，000 British adults who were between 45 and 69 years old when the study began.The data was derived from four examinations that participants went through between 1997 and 2013 which included blood analysis，measurement of weight and measurement of blood pressure.“These findings suggest that long­term exposure to green spaces can play an important role in preventing metabolic syndrome as a whole，” according to a press release published by ISGlobal.
The correlation between nearness to green spaces and better health could be associated with the expanded opportunities for physical recreation and lower exposure to air pollution，according to Carmen De Keijzer，ISGlobal researcher and principal author of the study.
Female subjects were more likely than males to exhibit the study's
association between living in greener neighborhoods and having fewer metabolic symptoms.“Women tend to spend more time in their residential neighborhood，which could explain this gender difference，”Carmen said.“We need greener cities if we want healthier cities，” she added.

We've been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us.We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy.Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves.
However，the most high­tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called the Stir Kinetic Desk.The desk learns your daily behavior and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.
You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule.If you tend to sit while returning e­mails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them.Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touchscreen on the lower left corner of the desk.
When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up.If you're not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.
The built­in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you've burned.You can even set goals for how long or how often you want to stand.The desk also works with fitness devices like the Fitbit to track your movements.
All of that smart technology doesn't come cheap though.The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for $4，190.
While expensive，it's worth that thinking of how much time we spend at our desks.Much like a good mattress(床垫)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment.Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.
