Top Public Sculpture Parks to Visit in Americ

This quiet sculpture garden in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood is far from the crowds. Owned and operated by Ka
smin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. It is designed by Future Green, a Brooklyn,

For decades, common wisdom held that how much we eat and exercise determines our weight. As researchers learne
d more about the human body, they discovered that what people eat plays an important role in weight gain and loss. This l
ed to a wide range of dietary recommendations. Don’t eat fats. Avoid sugars. Eat protein at every meal.
Now researchers are discovering another factor that influences health and weight gain—when we eat. A growing b
ody of evidence finds that the time of day when we consume calories affects weight gain and overall health.
The most recent study to support this idea was published this summer in the “Journal of Nutrition”. Data from the
study came from broad questionnaires that explore the links between lifestyle, diet and disease.
Researchers found that participants who ate three meals a day and snacked between meals tended to gain weight o
ver time, while those who ate one or two meals a day tended to lose weight. What’s more, participants who made break
fast their largest meal were less likely to be overweight compared to those who ate their largest meal at lunch or dinner.
Those who ate breakfast were more likely to be a healthy weight compared to those who skipped breakfast.
The evidence on the benefits of having a big breakfast is strong enough that the American Heart Association has a
nnounced a statement that planning and timing meals and snacks is a healthier way of eating, and likely reduces the risk
factors for heart disease. The statement stressed that eating breakfast is helpful in preventing diabetes.
“Meal timing may affect health due to its effect on the body’s internal clock,” said Marie Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D ．,
an associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University in New York City. She also explained that planni
ng meals and snacks can help prevent emotional eating. “Many people find that emotions can cause desire to eat when t
hey are not hungry, which often leads to eating too many calories from foods that have low nutritional value,” she said.
The take-home message here is pretty clear. Breakfast truly may be the most important meal of the day.
Consuming more calories in the morning and fewer as the day goes on is an effective way to keep a healthy weight.
4．The first paragraph suggests that .
A. exercise makes us healthy and eat more
B. if we don’t eat sugars, we will lose weight
C. we should avoid eating protein at every meal
D. dietary habits are closely related to our weight
5．Researchers found that .
A. having breakfast can cure diabetes（糖尿病）
B. meal times may have an effect on health
C. snacking may reduce the risk of heart diseases
D. eating habits can cure your emotional problems
6. What do the underlined words “take-home message” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Conclusion. B．Decision.
C．Conversation. D．Information.
7. The writer of the passage aims to .
A. examine the history of breakfast development
B. stress the benefit of eating dinner and snacks
C. explain the importance of breakfast
D. promote the idea of healthy food

Rainforests provide much of the world’s oxygen. People have been trying to protect them for years. But another ty
pe of forest, the cloud forest, is just as important to humans.
These forests are at the tops of mountains, generally near the equator ( 赤 道 ). These wet, wooded mountaintops
are mainly in African and Central and South American countries. They are called “cloud forests” because their height
allows for the formation of clouds among the trees. The trees in these forests pull water out of the clouds. The water gathe
rs on the leaves and falls into small rivers below, which flow into towns at the bottom of the mountain. The yearly rainfall
in these areas is about 180 centimetres. Cloud forests can pull in up to 60 percent of that. The water is important to the pl
ants and the people in the area. It helps them survive.
Cloud forests are also home to countless species of plants that can’t be found anywhere else. One small cloud forest
has as many types of plants as there are in all of Europe. In fact, there are so many that scientists haven’t made a complet
e list of them yet.
These forests are being destroyed at an increasing speed. Trees are being cut down, and roads are being built in their
place. Some people have a goal to get government money to protect the forests. But they have had little success so far. An
other way is to take the place of the destroyed plants with new ones. That, too, has been difficult because the plants are so
special. There’s plenty of work to be done, but saving the cloud forests is still possible with creative solutions.
8. Where can you probably find cloud forests?
A．In North America. B．Far from the equator.
C．In some African countries. D．At the foot of mountains. 9．
How much rainfall is pulled in by the cloud forests in those areas every year?
A. About 60 cm. B．About 108 cm.
C．About 180 cm. D．About 300 cm.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A．Europe is short of plant types. B．
Scientists are working on a list. C．
Cloud forests are getting smaller.
D．Cloud forests house many plants.
11. Where can we probably find the text?
A．In a storybook. B．In a travel guide.
C．In a chemistry textbook. D．In a geography magazine.

Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots. Her ancestors navigated ( 航 行 ) the oceans for centuries using their kn
owledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind. It’s not that she does it in a canoe without technology, but rather u
ses the natural technology around her. It’s called Way finding, and was taught to her by her father.
“My father was my foundation, my rock.” she says of her first voyage with him from Oahu to Lahaina in a traditiona
l canoe. He taught her how to read the stars, the ocean swells and how to use them to hold the course. “Over 200 stars hav
e specific names and purposes when you are Way finding. You have to look at each and determine if they are rising or sett
ing. You know this star and the direction it represents. If you can do that, you can use it as a tool to orient ( 确定方向).” K
ala added.
Kala Tanaka sailed the canoe in the ocean for up to three weeks. During the day, Kala used the sun until it hit a certai
n height. When she got closer to land, she looked for certain species of land birds and clouds that indicated there was lan
d below. When Kala sailed she felt “I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe. We’re a family.” The longer voyage r
equired Kala to spend hours studying the day and the night skies. It was demanding physical work. But it also had its mo
ments of awe. For Kala, the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment. So when she was
not sailing, she was teaching Way finding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors rel
ied on.
It’s easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day, to be consumed by screens and miss the nature t
hat unfolds around us. But if we will take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the
miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to hap
piness.
12. How does Kala navigate the ocean in a canoe?
A．By observing the natural elements around.
B. By following the course of ocean currents.
C. By using hi-technology navigation devices.
D. By recalling the first voyage with her father.
13. What did Kala think of the three-week canoe voyage?
A．It was a heroic adventure. B．It brought great joy to her life. C．
It was school children’s favorite. D．It represented a kind of innovation.
14. What does the author suggest we do?
A．Enjoy the screens. B．Explore the universe.
C．Get close to nature. D．Keep the earth clean.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A．Finding Our Way B．Navigating the Ocean
C．The Wisdom from Ancestors D．An Unforgettable Journey
