As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.Madisons owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madisons safety.Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madisons hope alive until his people could return.When the evacuation(撤离) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the propertywhich had been destroyed by the fireher prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his familys home.“WELL, Im so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “Im so happy. Im crying as I write this! He didnt give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”24.

The investigation lasted three hours, during which participants would either walk or run for 15 minutes per hour this would make them sweat and increase the levels of THS potentially taken in through the skin. Blood samples were collected, which were measured to see whether THS may have caused cell or tissue damage.“We found THS exposure caused damage to DNA, lipids (脂质), and proteins, and the damage remained even after the exposure stopped,” said Shane Sakamaki-Ching, a doctor of biology and the first author of the study. “Cigarette smokers show the same result.” The study showed exposure to THS increases signals related with skin diseases, which makes sense: the organ most likely to come into contact with THS is your skin, and so it receives the biggest exposure to the harmful chemicals. “However, whats even more worrying is the tendency to lead to cancer,” added Sakamaki-Ching.“If you buy a used car previously owned by a smoker, you are putting yourself at some health risk,” said Prue Talbot, a professor of cell biology at UC Riverside and the corresponding author of the study. “If you go to a restaurant that allows smoking, you are exposing your skin to THS. The same applies to staying in a hotel room that was previously occupied by a smoker.”All that came from just three hours investigation. And if you think e-cigarette smokers are being forgotten, fear not: the teams next project is to take a look at which remains are left by these less-deadly death sticks.Sakamaki-Ching said, “Our findings can help physicians in checking patients exposed to THS and help develop policies improving indoor environments polluted by THS.”28. Why were the participants in the study asked to take exercise?A. To keep themselves energetic.B. To speed up blood production.C. To do away with THS by sweating.D. To have their skin absorb more THS.29. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. THS is likely to cause skin cancer.B. Cigarette smokers suffer more from THS.C. The tendency to lead to cancer worries smokers.D. The damage caused by THS remains until the exposure stops.30. What message does Prue Talbot want to convey in paragraph 4?A. Public places should ban smoking entirely.B. THS can be widely found in our daily life.C. Non-smokers must keep off smokers for health.D. Sharing is a bad habit and should be abandoned.31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Ways to Prevent Skin Diseases WorseningB. A Campaign to Be Proposed to Ban THSC. THS Can Cause Skin DiseasesD. New Study Reveals the Potential Harm of SmokingDTo nap or not to nap? Whether napping will work for you depends on a range of factors, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, most importantly, the length of your snooze. If you like to nap, you are not alone. Napping is part of the culture in many countries: around 51 percent of people worldwide habitually enjoy 40 winks in the daytime.When it comes to napping. one size definitely doesnt fit all. If you are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful or even essential for making it through the day. However, for those with other sleep issues, a nap may make it harder to fall asleep at night. For most of us, the timing and length of our nap will largely determine how beneficial it is to our sleep routine.Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., most people experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drop in core body temperature. A nap of 30 minutes or less around this time allows you to benefit from a burst of Stage I and 2 sleep, which is good for mental and physical alertness.Napping for 30 minutes or less can reduce stress and lower the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attacks and strokes. One study showed that napping three times a week for 30 minutes led to a 37 percent decreased risk of dying from heart disease.A brief nap can be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness, including people suffering from sleep apnea(呼吸暂停) or narcolepsy, shift workers, and people with jet lag. Studies show that short naps can help improve or reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).Naps can interfere with insomnia(失眠) treatment, which involves restricting daytime sleep to increase the likelihood of sleeping solidly at night.Be cautious about naps of more than 30 minutes. Waking from the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia, a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slow and it takes longer to adjust to the awake state.A recent study has found that napping for more than 60 minutes a day increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.32. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by .A. your living habitB. your sleep-wake circleC. the society youre inD. period of time in sleeping33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A A nap benefits all the people.B. Not all the people fit napping.C. A nap works on one with sleep problems.D. A nap works for you if youre lacking sleep.34. Which of the following statements is true?A. Improper length of napping leads to sleep disorder.B. A 30-minute napping results in longer time to keep awake.C. Napping 60 minutes a day tends to trigger certain disease.D. Napping less than 30 minutes ensures you refreshed after wake.35. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Napping: Harmful or Helpful?B. A Boost for SleepingC. The Timing of a NapD.
