Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”
4. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Recipes.
B. Habits.
C. Benefits.
D. Risks.
5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Poor health in adolescence.
B. Limitations of the previous research.
C. Teens' relationships with their peers.
D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.
6. What does Kim's research show?
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.
D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
7. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A health magazine.
B. A medical report.
C. A term paper.
D. A family survey.

A cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and theirgravityis increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchersled by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.
Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but “the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. “ When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. ”
The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.
But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno, who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. “You'd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.
Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device'ssignal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.
8. What does the underlined word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Pull.
B. Extinction.
C. Popularity.
D. Severity.
9. What do we know about the sensor?
A. Its price remains high.
B. Its batteries are replaceable.
C. It can detect fires earlier and easier.
D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.
10. What doesKentmean in paragraph 4?
A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.
B. Fire detection resources are rich.
C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.
D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.
11. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?
A. Improving and testing it.
B. Limiting its use and transmission.
C. Examing and reducing its signal range.
D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.
D
The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.
Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has anupside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.
You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!
Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.
12. Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?
A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.
B. People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.
C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.
D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.
13. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Advantage.
B. Reason.
C. Character.
D. Challenge.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?
A. Critical.
B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Uncaring.
15. The passage can probably be found in ______.
A. A primary school textbook
B. A tourist guide
C. A sports magazine
D. A scientific report
