12 2 WorkingWorking thethe landland李仕才*阅读理解。阅读理解。Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin(胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high­GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.Whats more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers.(Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.) Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 23 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.【解题导语】 本文反驳了“吃香蕉会使人发胖”这一错误观点，告诉大家香蕉不会使身2体分泌很多胰岛素而导致脂肪增加，相反，香蕉对身体健康有着诸多好处。1What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?ABananas are likely to make people fat.BInsulin determines the amount of sugar.CLow­GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.DThe faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly?

This can be _1_ (especial) true of children. They may feel _2_ (leave) out. Now, these children may have a high­tech friend to help feel less lonely. A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long­term _3_ (ill). The robot like human beings takes their place at school. And their school friends must help carry the robot between classes and place the robot on their desks.Through the robot, a child can hear his or her teachers and friends.
