From Santa Barbara to Scotland,strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together.They get paired up by Cycling Without Age,an organization that helps niors go for bike rides,even if they can’t pedal themlves.
Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence,who are roughly20years apart in age,have been riding together for years.The56-year-old Lawrence rves as a“pilot”,driving the trishaw—a bike with a pasnger at in the front that Cycling Without Age us for their rides.They go for rides about once a week,often discussing the history of their town.
“Despite my decead parents,it gives me a connection with people from an older generation,”said Lawrence,“and I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”
The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling.Lawrence said he calls Lyon often and goes to t
jinshi>软硬兼施的意思he gym with him to help him with exercis he can’t do on his own.
Ole Kassow,who founded Cycling Without Age,said that’s the power of the program.“The truly powerful thing about the bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships,”he told CBS News.“In my friendships—and the ability to form new relationships at any age—are what define a good life,and often also a long and happy life.”
John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter.He has one rule for pasngers.“They say,‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’I say,‘Here’s what it costs:You have to wave.If you don’t wave,I’m going to kick you out,’”he joked.He said he likes when they hit red lights,becau it gives them a chance to connect with people on the road.“Driving the trishaw is the best advertiment for Cycling Without Age”,Boettner said,“When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek,it doesn’t get any better than that.”
4．What did Lawrence benefit from Cycling Without Age?
A．Picking up forgotten stories.B．Improving his health condition. C．Understanding his parents’love.D．Creating a relationship with niors.
改变从现在开始5．Why did Ole Kassow mention“friendships”?
A．To share the pleasure of cycling.B．To state the nature of happiness. C．To show the value of the program.D．To introduce the definition of a good life. 6．What can we learn from Boettner’s words in the last paragraph?
A．The program needs to be advertid.B．Pasngers have to pay for their rides. C．Red lights connect people on the road.D．Bike riders feel fulfilled by offering rides.
7．What message does the passage convey?
A．A sweet frienship refreshes the soul.B．Be a rainbow in somebody el’s cloud. C．Don’t go through life,grow through life.D．Happiness is a journey,not a destination.
For anyone trying to lo weight,there’s a truth we can all universally acknowledge that better health is often positioned as a numbers game.Hit the right number,and all your health problems will magically resolve,so the logic goes.Yet increasingly,science is revealing that losing weight may not be a silver bullet after all.In a mou study published in the journal Science,looking specifically at an inflammatory(炎症的)eye condition linked to obesity called macular degeneration(黄斑退化),rearch
ers found the struggle for better health doesn’t necessarily begin and end with weight loss.
Rearchers conducted experiments on mice that were fed a high-fat diet for11weeks, making them gain weight.The mice were then put on a diet of low-fat food for9weeks, making them lo weight.Another group of mice only ate the low-fat diet as a control. Rearchers shot lars into the eyes of both the yo-yo dieter mice and the control mice to encourage atypical blood vesl(非典型性血管)growth,a mark of macular degeneration.
Among the mice that had gained and then lost weight,there was about40percent more atypical blood vesl growth than their stable diet peers.Driving the growth appeared to be macrophages(巨噬细胞).In the yo-yo dieter mice,the cells had been reprogrammed to cau inflammation.Taken together,the cells appeared to have an outsize role in atypical blood vesl growth in the eyes.Meanwhile,in the mice fed only a low-fat diet,inflammatory changes were abnt.The results suggest that eating a high-fat diet that caus weight gain, even if followed by weight loss,leaves an inflammatory mark on mou macrophages.
The rearch comes during a period of renewed interest in anti-obesity drugs.But medicines that help people shed pounds do not treat inflammation linked to a history of

weight gain.“How to engage the findings with medicine interventions is a challenge,”says Bapat,head of the rearch.
8．Which of the following best explains“a silver bullet”underlined in paragraph1?

C．By controling test methods.D．By analyzing diet components. 10．What can we learn about the rearch results?
A．Stable dieting drives the growth of macrophages.
B．Reprogrammed cells are to blame for weight gain.
C．Inflammatory changes are caud by the low-fat diet.

D．Losing weight doesn’t resolve the inflammation tied to weight gain.
11．What will the rearch focus on next?
A．Exploring ways of losing weight.B．Tracking the history of weight loss. C．Treating obesity-linked inflammation.D．Boosting interest in anti-obesity drugs.
A new kind of solar panel,developed at the University of Michigan,has achieved high efficiency in transforming water into hydrogen and oxygen—imitating a crucial step in natural photosynthesis(光合作用).The outdoor version of the experiment,with less reliable sunlight and temperature,achieved6.1%efficiency at turning the energy from the sun into hydrogen fuel.However,indoors,the system achieved9%efficiency.
But the biggest benefit is driving down the cost of sustainable hydrogen.This is enabled by reducing the size of the miconductor(半导体),typically the most expensive part of the device.The team’s lf-healing miconductor withstands concentrated light equivalent to 160suns.
“We believe that artificial photosynthesis devices will be much more efficient than natural photosynthesis,which will provide a path toward carbon neutrality,”said Zetian Mi, U-M professor of electrical and computer engineering who led the study reported in Nature.
The new technology has two advances.The first is the ability to concentrate the sunlight without destroying the miconductor that traps the light.“We reduced the size of the miconductor by more than100times compared to some miconductors only working at
潜江龙虾节low light intensity,”said Peng Zhou,U-M rearch fellow in electrical and computer engineering and first author of the study.“Hydrogen produced by our technology could be very cheap.”
And the cond is using both the higher energy part of the solar spectrum(光谱)to break down water and the lower part of the spectrum to provide heat that encourages the reaction. The magic is enabled by a miconductor catalyst(催化剂)that improves itlf with u, resisting the degradation(降解)that such catalysts usually experience when they trap sunlight to drive chemical reactions.
The next challenges the team intends to tackle are to further improve the efficiency and to achieve superhigh purity hydrogen that can be directly fed into fuel cells.
12．What leads to the lower cost of sustainable hydrogen?
A．Solar energy.B．Smaller miconductors. C．Natural photosynthesis.D．More concentrated light. 13．What is an advantage of the new technology?
A．A catalyst easily available.B．Creative u of the solar spectrum. C．Outstanding ability to reflect light.D．A miconductor working at low light intensity.
14．Why are the two advances of the new solar panel mentioned?
A．To introduce a greener lifestyle.B．To promote its commercial value. C．To state its technical breakthrough.D．To adverti the potential application. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．A．New Trend in Water Usage B．The Future of Sustainable Hydrogen C．Solar Energy:More Efficient,Greener D．Cheaper Hydrogen Through Solar Power
