2． What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw？Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer's field.However，Wu Cui，an intangible cultural inheritor，can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into eye-catching functional artworks.
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks by braiding straw.It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.The earliest straw-woven products were unearthed at Hemudu Cultural Ruins，a Neolithic（新石器的） cultural site located in Zhejiang province.The Book of Rites，one of the classical works of Confucianism，also records that there were mats made of cattail grass（香蒲） during the Zhou Dynasty.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving：you need to select the materials first，and then sketch the piece on paper，which requires drawing skills.Next comes the weaving，shaping and finally the preserving of the work.Even by sticking to that process，it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work，and the hardest part is to make it lifelike and solid.
Wu recalls that，when she was a child，woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside，such as straw hats and straw shoes，because they were practical in everyday life. "Due to the impact of industrialization，manufactured goods have replaced such products，which provide low profits，and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country，" she notes.
From her perspective，straw weaving should respond to people's needs and preferences，while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. "For straw weaving to blossom，craftspeople should make joint efforts to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products，" she says.
When asked about her plans，Wu says she longs to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by making full use of the straw weaving technique.

3． We all know there's good cholesterol （膽固醇） and bad cholesterol.It turns out there's good and bad fat，too.The good fat is medically known as brown fat.It's good because it burns calories.The more familiar fat，known as white fat，stores up calories and stubbornly accumulates around waistlines and bottoms.
Scientists have known about brown fat for decades.Small mammals and human infants （嬰兒） have deposits of it around their shoulder blades.It generates heat and helps maintain the body's core temperature.Recently，three studies in the New England Journal of Medicine suggest that brown fat — which becomes gradually less with age — might serve as a whole new way to help people lose weight. "We calculate that if you had three ounces' worth of brown fat，that would be enough to burn up 400 to 500 calories per day，" says Dr.Aaron Cypess，an author of one of the new studies.
The new studies，which come from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands，studied brown fat activity in 24 healthy young men — 10 of them lean （瘦且健康的） and the others overweight.Study subjects spent two hours in a mildly chilly room — 16.1°C．Then they underwent PET scans and CT scans to measure the location and metabolic （新陳代謝的） activity of brown fat deposits.Brown fat showed up as "hot spots" in the scans of 23 out of the 24 volunteers.The one with no detectable brown fat was the most obese.
The researchers also found that exposure to chilly temperatures caused an increase in the metabolic rate of brown fat in their healthy adult volunteers.They figure that if a way can be found to activate the typical person's stores of brown fat，it will burn off at least 9 pounds of regular white fat a year.Sitting at home at 16°C may be a simple way to achieve that and other candidate targets are already known.
（1）Who may have the most brown fat according to the text？
A．An energetic teenager.
B．A middle-aged man.
C．A lovely baby.
D．An old woman.
（2）Which statement will Dr.Aaron Cypess probably agree with？
A．It doesn't take much brown fat to burn calories.
B．People are supposed to focus on losing weight.
C．White fat mainly accumulates around shoulder blades.
D．Small mammals take advantage of brown fat to beat heat.
（3）What do the studies mentioned in paragraph 3 show？
A．Young men prefer brown fat to white fat.
B．People become overweight for lack of brown fat.
C．The location of brown fat deposits is hard to measure.
D．Obese people may have less brown fat than lean people.
（4）What will be talked about in the next paragraph？
A．Benefits of staying in freezing rooms.
B．Ways of activating stores of brown fat.
C．Targets of keeping a healthy weight.
D．Risks of eating too much heavy food.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3
