Though in the long run, one researcher found that having all girls or all boys doesn, t meaningfully affect the happiness of mothers who wanted at least one of each.Perhaps the most meaningful difference isn, t a matter of going from one to two children, or two to three, but from zero to one. "Having just one child makes various aspects of adults' lives一how time, money, emotion, and mind are used and how new social networks are formed一child-centered, “ says Kei Nomaguchi, a sociologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you want to enjoy adult-centered life, love expensive leisure activities, cherish close relationships with your partner, and both you and your partner want to devote your time to your careers, zero kids would be the choice. ”Mothers, of course, stand to lose more than fathers when they have kids in their household. Having children is more stressful for women than it is for men, and mothers suffer professionally after having children in a way that fathers don' t.Whether the ideal number of children is greater than zero is a question many researchers have tried to address. A 2014 review of existing research, whose authors were skeptical of overgeneralizations that most parents are miserable or that most parents are joyful, “ discovered other broad patterns: Being a parent tends to be a less positive experience for mothers and people who are young, single, or have young children. And it tends to be more positive for fathers and people who are married or who became parents later in life.61. Which of the following can be best filled in the blank in paragraph 3?A. The costs of raising children are not just financial.B. Families with two children have been popular since then.C. Besides, the ways of raising children have changed.D. Many parents also find raising children quite annoying.62. According to Kei Nomaguchi, a female candidate for department manager may decide toA. to have no childB. have one boy and one girlC.devote more time to children D. sacrifice her career for children 63. It can be inferred from the passage that.A. more women feel disappointed with their childrenB. couples with one boy and one girl feel the happiestC. fathers don' t have any problems with their careersD. the happiness of having children varies individually 64. The passage mainly talks about .A. the ideal number of children families prefer to haveB. the reasons behind the change in people' s idea of raising kidsC. what number of children makes parents happiestD. different opinions researchers have of whether to have kidsDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger, an all-plant meat-like pie invented by the Silicon Valley pany Impossible Foods. It' s famous for having a weirdly chewy, even bloody, meat-like quality, a surprising verisimilitude （追真）that has made it uperhaps the countrys most famous burger, “ as New York magazine recently wrote. One bite into its gorgeous, smoky flavor, and I was convinced.This is good news, because the time has e to mass-produce faked段的）meat, fast. Why? Because in the fight to ease climate change, meat replacement is one of the lowest-hanging fruits.Meat production chews up land and lets out methane（沼气）by the kiloton, accounting for about two-thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. A University of Oxford study recently found that, to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century, we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork globally. "Without concentrated change, we really risk going beyond key environmental limits, “ Marco Springmann, one of the Oxford researchers, warns me.Diets are culturally enshrined （神圣的），so changing them will be hard. Fake meat can help camouflage （掩饰）that dramatic transformation with slight adjustment.Still, even the most exceptional substitutes for meat face a huge challenge if they' re going to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork. The first taste of an Impossible Burgera moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product? s favoris one thing. But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth, and their 26th?Fortunately, the science here is playing an important role. Impossible Foods owes much of its appeal to a bioengineering process that turns out big, blood-red tanks of “heme, “ a crucial molecule （分子）that gives veggie （素食主义者）meat “that slightly metallic bloody flavor, as David Lipman, chief science officer of Impossible Foods, tells me. Meanwhile, ucultured meat, “ created by growing actual animal cells in a basin, is being a reality. In New York, the scientists at Ocean Hugger Foods have engineered a process to transform tomatoes into mock tuna. And over in the Netherlands, a pany called The Vegetarian Butcher is developing a Nespresso-style device: You pour in a bag of vegetable protein （蛋白质）and out pops fake meat. The pany aims to release it in two years.To get to true mass adoption, fake meat will need to pete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts. Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway, s 80/20 hamburger meat, at which point people will simply vote with their wallets. The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways. Fake meat will outpete traditional meat because “you won' t need to refrigerate it if you' re making it as you go, ” co-founder Niko Koffeman says. That' d give unmeat an enormous advantage for energy-poor developing regions. Plus, fake meat could provide more choices. “You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people, “ Koffeman adds. "You could have a custom meat for whatever you need. ”We could speed this dietary shift with smart public policy too. Beginning in 2006, New York City cut the number of adults consuming one or more sugary drinks per day by 35 percent by running appealing public service campaigns and requiring the labeling of their high calorie counts （含 量）in fast-food restaurants. Imagine similar measures promoting fake meat: "Save the planet, bite by bite. " Save your health too. Speaking of your conscience, industrial-scale animal farming is ethically （道德上）unpleasant.You can tell the world is shifting this way, because the ranchers （牧场主）are nervous. Last year, the US Cattlemen' s Association asked the government to define “meat” as a product uobtained directly from animals. " That anxiety, which is no doubt caused by science, goes to show that this grand shift isn' t impossible.65. The author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because.A. it looks like a traditional meat burgerB. it contains no meat but tastes like meatC. its flavor is different from that of normal onesD. more vegetables are used in the burger66. What does the author mean by saying ulowest hanging fruits” in paragraph 2?A.A task that is difficult to fulfill.B. An approach that is economical.C.A product that is environment-friendly.D.A goal that is easy to achieve.65. The author is most likely to agree that .A. fakemeatisworthy of investment for itsgreat potentialB. fakemeatisunlikely to change people' sdietary habitsC. a declineinmeat consumption can relieveglobal warmingD. fakemeatwill replace real meat because of its lower price66. Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat in that.A. fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigeratorB. the price of fake meat will be one-fourth of the traditional meat' sC. fake meat will win over the older people thanks to its qualityD. fake meat has a bloody flavor that is not found in traditional meat67. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The US government doesn, t give enough support to ranchers.B. The world will probably accept the idea of fake meat.C. People don' t like to eat meat produced by the ranchers now.D. The definition of meat has been revised because of fake meat.68. Which is probably the suitable title for the passage?A. Let? s speed up the dietary shiftB. Let' s wele the fake meatC. Fake meat or traditional meat, must we choose?D.

Willpower is not a new concept, but we still do not have widespread awareness of it.As it turns out, your willpower is like a muscle. And similar to how your muscles get tired at the end of a workout, the strength of your willpower fades as you make more decisions. This makes sense. In a research study published by the National Academy of Sciences, psychologists examined the factors that impact whether or not a judge approves a criminal for parole （假释）.At the beginning of the day, a judge will give each case a fair shot.But as their energy starts to fade? Deny, deny, deny.A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened?Avoiding temptation is one effective strategy for maintaining self-control. Tn Walter Mischel' s marshmallow （软糖）study, the children who stared directly at the treat were less likely to resist it than were kids who closed their eyes, turned away or otherwise distracted themselves. This principle applies to adults, too. One recent study, for instance, found office workers who kept candy in a desk drawer ate less than when they kept the candy in plain sight.Another helpful technique for improving self-control is an implementation （履行） intention. " For example, someone who is watching their alcohol intake might say before a party, “If anyone offers me a drink, then I' 11 ask for club soda. ” Research among adolescents and adults has found that implementation intentions improve self-control, even among people whose willpower has been reduced by laboratory tasks.Just like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use, there is another aspect to the muscle parison. While muscles bee exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regularly exercising self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from wi 1 Ipower-depletion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions (心愿)on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Being used in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so don' t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you' 11 no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will bee routine and won' t require making decisions at all.So next time in the face of temptation, you don' t have to worry about the drain on your willpower. With proper approaches, you can train your willpower to stay strong.How to Strengthen WiDpowerPassage outlineSupporting detailsA (71) resourceJust like muscle, willpower decreases as you use it more.In the parole mstance, the judge made more (72) A judgments as time passed.Waystostrengthenwillpower Willpower can be maintained by (73)away fromtemptations.Research found that ofi&ce workers ate less candy when it was out of (74) A Having a (75) A ahead of time will not exhaust your willpower when making decisions.For example, one may decide before a party tliat if offered a drink. ask for soda (76) A .
