Being seventeen without money can be depressing.When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash,it would be foolish to pass it up.It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee （裁判）elementary basketball came my way,I jumped at the chance.I thought it would be a fun way to earn some "easy money".
During the years I played on the court and watched the games,I often found myself criticizing the referees.I was completely convinced that I could do a much better job because of my love for basketball and my familiarity of the game.How difficult could it be,especially with a bunch of third graders？
I looked forward to my first night as a referee,but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game.These sweet and innocent third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me.Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game.A battle was in progress on the court while the inhumane bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands.My only companion,the whistle （哨子），suffered from a severe case of stage fear,filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it.My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd.Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fighting,the pitiless bystanders still couldn't calm.The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul.With only five minutes
remaining,Michael,another referee,came in time,saving me from losing my mind.In a flash,I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands.
I realized just how difficult refereeing was.I could have let this heartbreaking evening ruin my future on the court,but instead it stimulated a sense of determination in me to do it better.I still hope to become a great referee someday.In order for this to become a reality,it will take many hours of practice and hard work.No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort,I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as "easy money".

Exercise and a healthy diet in childhood leads to adults with bigger brains and lower levels of anxiety,according to a new research in mice.
Though diet and exercise are consistently recommended as ways to promote health,this study is the first to examine the long-lasting,combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life.
The researchers determined that early-life exercise generally reduced anxious behaviors in adults.It also led to an increase in adult muscle and brain mass.When fed "Western" style diets high in fat and sugar,the mice not only became fatter,but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy foods.
These findings have recently been published in the journal Physiology and Behavior.To obtain them,the researchers divided the young mice into four groups — those with access to exercise,those without access,those fed a standard,healthy diet and those that ate a Western diet. Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning （断奶），and continued on them for three weeks,until they reached physical maturity.After an additional eight weeks of "washout"，during which all mice were housed without motion and on the healthy diet,the researchers did behavioral analysis and various measurements.
One of those they measured,leptin,is produced by fat cells.It helps control body weight primarily by lowering the sensation of hunger and also by increasing energy consumption.Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels as well as fat mass in adult mice,regardless of the diet they ate.
Previously,the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome （肠道菌群）for life,even if they later eat more healthily.Going forward,the team plans to investigate whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.
Together,both studies offer critical opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits.The findings may be relevant for understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with fatness.
8.What is unique about the new study？______
A. It involves adults' eating behavior.
B. It shows key elements for a long life.
C. It stresses separate impacts of exercise and diet.
D. It highlights joint effects of early exercise and diet.
9.How did the researchers get the study results？______
A. By trial and error.
B. By previous experience.
C. By experimenting on grouped mice.
D. By comparing mice with human beings.
10.What is the main function of leptin？______
A. It forms fat cells.
B. It brings down appetite.
C. It stimulates hunger.
D. It limits energy consumption.
11.How does the author look at health interventions in early-life habits？______
A. Favorably.
B. Critically.
C. Indifferently.
D. Doubtfully.
D
How can having a childlike view of the world help the environment？Danish eco-artist Thomas Dambo combines a talent for recycling with a fairy-tale imagination to bring people worldwide closer to nature.
For the "Guardians of the Seeds" exhibition,Danish eco-artist Thomas Dambo built five trolls （巨魔）from discarded wood materials,which were appointed by Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens （CMBG）for its splendid riverside woodland.
The exhibition composed of the five trolls aims to give visitors an emotional connection with nature that will encourage them to become keepers of it.For the exhibition,Thomas came up with a story that a family of trolls hid 10 golden seeds to protect the old ing a map that's provided,visitors follow clues to find where the seeds are hidden.
Besides using carefully selected recycling materials to produce his works,to challenge himself creatively,the artist allowed for a degree of production on-site.He gave a skinny troll named Birk a beard made from the roots of fallen trees.The fur of another troll Røskva is made from bark.Also,Gro,sitting with her eyes closed in a yoga pose,has a tongue made out of a nearby deserted planter.
"Thomas wants people to interact with them," says Gretchen,president of CMBG. "He wants it to be a journey of discovery where you're walking along and all of a sudden this big magical being appears in front of you.These are friendly,happy trolls.They're not scary,mean trolls." Thomas hopes that "Guardians of the Seeds" gives viewers the same joy he gets from an occupation that he compares to a hobby.He says too many people lose their playfulness in their adult life.The key quality of his work is just its playfulness.One of his trolls sits on a real car on a hillside,appearing to cheerfully ride it.He wants to reactivate a childlike imagination in adults so they begin to see trash （垃圾）as objects that can be repurposed in practical and even picturesque ways.And he loves to entertain kids,too.
Nowadays,Mr.Dambo gets a kick out of seeking waste everywhere,hoping to find more stuff he could refashion into something amazing.
12.What does the underlined word "discarded" mean in paragraph 2？______
A. Given-out.
B. Thrown-away.
C. High-priced.
D. Randomly-chosen.
13.What's the purpose of launching the exhibition？______

Smiling is a global smart language.Everybody smiles in the same language.We smile when we feel good. (1) There's a bidirectional effect between smiling and feeling positive：Both can be reason and effect of the other one.
The act of smiling is connected with neurotransmitters （神经传导物质）related to pleasure sensations and psychological tensions,as well as with certain stress hormones （激素）. (2) When we smile,even when we force it,our body releases the "feel good" hormones,which will put us in a much better mood and relieve our stress.Meanwhile,our creativity and
self-confidence increase,leading us towards the right mental balance we need.
(3) Plentiful evidence shows that smiling can help boost the immune （免疫）system by decreasing stress levels,which in turn increases white blood cell count and releases beneficial antibodies that help fight infection and disease.Besides,smiling can even reduce our heart rate after a stressful situation.
But positive effects of smiling aren't limited to our own mental and physical well-being：Our smile goes beyond us having a positive effect on the people around.Research suggests that happy people influence the people closest to them and provide a boost of good energy. (4) When others see us smiling,chances are that we'll find them smiling as well.The more we
smile,the more we'll receive smiles back.
Attractive smiles suggest confidence,capability and authority,and these feelings can motivate others.A smile is the prettiest thing we can wear. (5) When we smile,life smiles as well.
A.Smiling can even improve our physical health.
B.That's why life isn't always full of reasons to smile.
C.Smiling may be the most effective and cheapest anti-stress.
D.And we can create well-being feelings just by raising a smile.
E.Smiling is one of the most infectious expressions of emotion.

night.Having said goodbye to Frank and his family,I rode my bike home.
There was nobody in the street and everything appeared so quiet with the street lights already off and the full moon in the sky.Still excited,I was humming （哼着）a cheerful tune when suddenly I felt the front wheel of my bike run into something hard,which made me lose control of the handlebars.Out of balance,I fell down to the ground.By the light of the moon,I could make out it was a wallet lying there.
I picked the wallet up and opened it.There was a thick wad （叠）of cash and several
credit cards in it.Looking around,I could find nobody in the dark street.Thinking the owner must be anxious with his wallet missing,I decided to reach him somehow as soon as possible.If I failed to contact the owner,then I would turn to the police for help.
But there wasn't any straightforward information at hand.I took out my cellphone,with whose flashlight I took a closer look at a credit card and on it I happily found the 24-hour hotline of the credit card company.It might be a chance,so I called the credit card company at once and explained that one of their clients named David Smith had lost his
wallet,hoping they could offer me his phone number so that I could return it to
him.However,I was told they had no right to disclose any detailed information of their clients.So I gave them my name and phone number,asking them to help inform the owner if possible.
Eager to return the wallet sooner,I examined it again and found a gym membership card,which bore a name Mary Smith and a phone number.
