2． Throughout all the events in my life，one in particular sticks out more than the others.As I reflect on this significant event，a smile spreads across my face.As I think of Shanda，I feel loved and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing，I thought it would end up like any other year：stuck in emptiness，forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.
However，I met Shanda，a young，talented choreographer（編舞者）.She influenced me to work to the best of my ability，pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up，encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing.Throughout our hard work，not only did my ability to dance grow，but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our show time.As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers，I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for my turn.Finally，after what seemed like days，the loudspeaker announced my name.Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage.But，with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda，expectations for me，I began to dance.All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining，gold trophy（獎杯），I realized that dance is not about becoming the best.It was about loving dance for dance itself，a getaway from all my problems in the world.Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment，After all the doubts that people had in me，I believed in myself and did not care what others thought .Thanks to Shanda，dance became more than a love of mine，but a passion.

3． During the five-day International Labor Day holiday that began on April 30，tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese，or guofeng，experiences attracted large crowds，some members of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the authenticity（真實性）of their experiences.
Qujiang New District in Xi'an，Shaanxi province，charmed tourists with a new attraction on the theme of a TV serial The Longest Day in Chang'an.It offered visitors a chance to "travel back in time"and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty （618-907）.Xi'an，known as Chang'an back then，was the capital.

4． Many people struggle to keep their weight in check as getting older.Now new research at Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that lipid turnover（脂質(zhì)代謝） in the fat tissue（組織）decreases when people are getting older，which makes it easier to put on weight，even if we eat less or exercise more than before.
The scientists studied the fat cells in 54 men and women over an average period of 13 years.In that time，all subjects，regardless of whether they gained or lost weight，showed decreases in lipid turnover in the fat tissue，and that is the rate at which lipid （or fat） in the fat cells is removed and stored.Those who didn't make up for that by eating fewer calories gained weight by an average of 20 percent，according to the study done together with researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden and the University of Lyon in France.
The researchers also examined lipid turnover in 41 women who experienced bariatric surgery（減肥手術） and how the lipid turnover rate affected their ability to keep the weight off four to seven years after surgery.The result showed only those who had a low rate before the surgery managed to increase their lipid turnover and maintain their weight loss.
"For the first time，the results showed that processes in our fat tissue rule changes in body weight during aging in a way that is independent of other factors，"says Peter Arner，one of the study's main authors."This could open up new ways to deal with obesity（肥胖）."
Earlier studies have shown one way to speed up the lipid turnover in the fat tissue is to exercise more.This new research supports this and further shows the long-term result of weight-loss surgery would improve if combined with increased physical activity.
Obesity and obesity-related diseases have become a global problem.Understanding the change in lipids and what rules the size of the fat mass in humans has never been so significant to us.Therefore，let's expect the researchers to have more findings in this field to help us keep a healthy body.
（1）What's the study about？
A．How physical activities change body weight.
B．Why people gain weight during aging.
C．Why people enjoy losing weight.
D．How a balanced diet benefits us.
（2）What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3？
A．Men have a much higher lipid turnover rate than women.
B．The amount of fat tissue decreases with people getting older.
C．People with a low lipid turnover rate can lose weight surgically.
D．The study result was discovered by Swedish scientists independently.
（3）What can be inferred from Peter Arner's words in Paragraph 4？
A．Scientists understand the lipid turnover rate for the first time.
B．Doing more exercise will surely increase the lipid turnover rate.
C．The lipid turnover has little connection with body weight.
D．Knowing about the lipid turnover rate may help treat obesity.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the research？
A．Favorable.
B．Surprised.
C．Negative.
D．Doubtful.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
