16、ian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eatThats where they get their food tooKoalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus treesThe eucalyptus trees are where the koalas liveIts also where they sleepKoa

17、las sleep about nineteen hours a day!Why do they sleep so much? Some people think its because theyre lazyBut koalas arent lazyThey sleep so much because there isnt much nutrition in eucalyptus leavesKoalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energyOne way to do this is to move slowly and s

18、leep a lot.After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunsetThey live alone most of the timeKoalas are very protective of their treesIf a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at itKoalas do “talk” to each o

If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get _.AworriedBscaredChungryDsleepyC Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shoppingbecause he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided

22、 in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into ashop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly producesit, and the business of trying it on follows at

23、 once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesnt have what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer someth

24、ing else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “Iknow this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.” Few men have patience

25、 with this treatment, and the usual response is: This is theright colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in theopposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need.

26、 She has never fully made up her mind what shewants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets greatstore by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of f

27、inding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are alwayson the lock- out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another,

28、 to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dressesshe wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops providechairs for the waiting husbands.29. When a man is buying clothes, he_.A. doesnt always know what to buyB. puts price in the fir

29、st placeC. is easily persuaded by the salesmanD. may finish the deal quickly30. What will happen if a man cannot get exactly what he wants?A. He will take the salesmans advice to buy another oneB. He will usually leave the shop without what he wantsC. He will choose a similar one in size or in colou

30、rD. He will spend more time to find what he likes31. When shopping for clothes, women _.A. have their husbands wait for themB. dont enjoy the tiring processC. welcome suggestions from anyoneD. dont always care about price32. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. Men b

31、uy things of good quality while women dont.B. Women bargain for their clothes while men do not.C. The fact whether they try on clothes before buying.D. The time they take over buying clothes.DEver wonder why sometimes a hug is all you need? You cant explain it, but theres just something comforting a

32、bout being in your wifes arms after a rough day or giving mom a hug after a long time apart.A new study says the warm feeling in a hug is more than just skin deep. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley believe that this loving feeling could have anti-aging benefits.Oxytocin , somet

33、imes referred to as the “ love hormone（荷尔蒙）” or the “ trust hormone ” ,is responsible for those indescribable feelings we get when were bonding with a lover or a loved one .Levels of the hormone drop as we age, and evidence suggests that could be a contributing factor to the deterioration of our bod

34、ies as we age. Muscle loss in particular is one of the major side effects of aging, with our bodies losing up to 5 percent of our muscle mass each decade past our 30s.In the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers injected oxytocin into older mice with muscle damage. The o

35、lder mice had lower levels of the hormone than younger mice initially. But after nine days, the older mice that were given the hormone healed better than those who did not. In fact, their ability to repair muscle damage was up to 80 percent that of the younger mice.The results were not only fast-act

36、ing, but provide hope for future uses of the hormone in a variety of anti-aging capacities. “ This is good because it demonstrates that extra oxytocin improves aged tissue stem cells（组织干细胞）without making muscle stem cells divide uncontrollably , ” study co-author Wendy Cousins said in a statement .P

37、revious uses of anti-aging molecules have also been associated with higher cancer risk, but researchers are hopeful that oxytocin can be useful in humans without this risk. In the future, researchers of Berkeley say oxytocin could be used to fight other age-related health issues by improving bone he

40、etter than younger ones after 9 days. C. Extra oxytocin in older mice controlled muscle cell division. D.
