17、 first married to my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster.

18、wn careers, they also moved. One went to Canadas cast coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast to Vancouver. Wc had a dilemma; wc were left in the middle.At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as wc began to consider retirement wc wondered w

19、here wc should spend our final years. Wc couldnt be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons wc settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least wc were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when

20、an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. I helped him move.50, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. Wc love our little corner of paradise but we have paid a price. Wc have not been there fbr some important events such as the births of two of our grand

21、children. We have missed watching each of them grow up; we have missed the normal, noisy households that have young people in them. Our home, while very fbrtable, is also very quiet.Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or

22、 more with him trying to catch up on everything we,ve missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom c to visit us. The distances arc just too great and it is cos

23、tly.Fortunately, both our boys arc doing well and our grandchildren arc growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and we arc secure in the knowledge that （hey love us but the reality is that they dont need us. We have done our jobs and, at least in theory, we can sit back, relax and enjoy th

Hidden EmotionsCWeve known that sitting fbr long periods of time every day has countless health consequences, like a higher risk

28、of heart disease. But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad fbr your brain.A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California, showed that sedentary （久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe （中颍叶）,a brain ar

29、ea that is critical to learning and memory.The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people, ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels and the average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains. They found that the subjects who reported sitting for longer periods had the

30、 thinnest medial temporal lobes. It means that the more time you spend in a chair, the worse it is fbr your brain health, resulting in possible damage to learning and memory.What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of physical activity and

31、thickness of this brain area, suggesting that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.It then surprisingly turned out that you dont even have to move much to improve cognition; just standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of su

32、bjects were asked （o plctc a test while either sitting or standing. Participants arc presented with conflicting stimuli（刺激），like the word “green” in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 32-millisecond margin.The cognitive effects of severe ph

33、ysical exercise arc well known. But the possibility that standing more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone.I know, this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers, who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodins famous “Thin

34、ker,“ sitting with chin on hand.They were wrong. You can now all stand up.28. What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Severe exercise can lessen the damage of sitting.B.

37、hoice, about 85% of people say they would not want to know about some negative event far in the future. Yet recently millions around the globe have downloaded FaceApp. which allows users to see how they might age in real life.Many had fun with joking that they love the FaceApp old filter. Beneath th

38、e humor is a serious subject: How do we leani to relate to our future selves? Its important that we try to because it could help strengthen the long-term decisions that we make. However, we often fail to make sacrifices fbr the grayer versions of ourselves.More than half of the respondents in a rece

39、nt survey of 2,800 Americans said they rarely or never thought about what their lives might be like 30 years from now. This isnt surprising, since most of us are firmly rooted in the present and thinking about the distant future can seem like a distant priority （优先）. My ongoing research might also o

40、ffer an explanation: We tend to think about our future selves as if they arc someone different from who wc arc today. In an cHbrt to narrow these empathy （共情）gaps, my research workmates and I have tried to humanize peoples future selves in the same way others have tried to humanize charity receivers

41、. Given that a photograph of one hungry child can spark emotional reactions, and cause viewers to donate, we have presented participants with vivid images of their distant selves.That seems helpful. In a recently pleted project in Mexico, we found that exposure to future-self images led more people

42、to contribute to their pensions. Despite this research, Im skeptical that the app users will suddenly increase their pension contributions and care about their health. The silly app isnt paired with an immediate opportunity to change any of these things.The lesson from FaceApp shouldnt be that we ne

43、ed to marry hi-tech visuals with savings fbr retirement. The lesson, then, takes the form of a question: What more can be done to urge us to think about, care fbr who we will one day bee?32.

44、s people make decisions.D. It makes people age in real life.33. Why do most respondents rarely think of their fiiture life?A. They have known future life from FaceApp.B.

Giving a photograph of a hungry child.35. Whats the author*s attitude to FaceApp?A. Positive.B. Indiffere

46、nt.C. Ambiguous.D. Unfavorable.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Cant Resist Junk Food? Study Suggests You Try This Simple 1rickYoure tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fi ied and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken!36A ne

47、w research says that exposure to the smell of junkfood for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.Lefs take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your noses attention tends to be most appealing just after you first

48、 smell it? What will happen if you,re standing in line after a couple of minutes?37And recent science says that this is actually the rightmoment to walk away.The results of a scries of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g, cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealt
