Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence（生物发光）but，for many of us，seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat∶ Catching the glow（光）of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.

Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing a plant's health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health, and the side-effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.

A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality.The study authors announce they've created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter, and for a longer period of time,than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.

The research was conducted through a team work between three scientific institutions and Planta, a biotech startup in Moscow. When this team examined a poisonous mushroom, they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted（嵌入）enzymes（酶——which are specific to the mushroom——into the DNA of tobacco plants. In turn, the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants, and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.

This method, the scientists claimed, made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn't harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment.If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant,bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it's too late.

28.How can people quickly identify a decorative flower's health condition?

A. By making it greener.                    B. By monitoring its glow.

C.By testing the chemicals in it.              D.By putting it in the living room.

29.What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?

A.They will appear on the market.

B.They may take the place of lamps.

C. They can light up a whole living room.

D. They glow less bright than previous efforts.

30.What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?

A.They inserted caffeic acid into it.

B. They made it give out brighter light.

C.They grew it on the tobacco plant farm.

D. They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.

31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.

B. Warning of the light production's harm to plants.

C.Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.

D.Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.

D

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental well being and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury（咸味的）snacks such as crisps（薯片），which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.

Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental well being, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast， there was no link between these everyday memory lapses（差错）and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor savoury snacks,everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.

Lead author,PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented,"Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and well being, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses,which in turn reduces psychological health."

"It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental well being. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts,due to come in this October, could not only improve the country's physical health, but mental health too.”

“Overall, it's definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”

32.Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?

A. Savoury snacks.    B. Fruit.     C.Vegetables.     D.Grain.

33. What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A.Rich fruit appears not to be linked to psychological health.

B. The more fruit people eat, the lower they score for depression.

C. There is a relation between the nutrient-poor snacks and mental health.

D. There is a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.

34.What does the underlined word "causality"in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The relation between fruit and vegetables.

B. The relation between exercise and health.

C.The relation between snacks and mental health.

D. The relation between diet and mental health and well being.

35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A.Eating habits can prevent disease

B.Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health

C.Eating vegetables often can improve mental health

D.Eating fruit often may contribute to mental health

Kevin was a homeless man. Since the day he was born,he had never been shown the affection and love every child needs. He had spent his entire life fighting for his survival in a world that treated him like he never existed. Even after all the hardships he had confronted （面对），Kevin still had hope for a better life.One organization proved to him that there was light at the end of the tunnel. The Sumner Community Food Bank was known for being charitable and being so generous that they donated food without any cost to the homeless. And Anita is the head of this organization.

On a cold morning,Kevin was extremely hungry. He looked around for the bread that the volunteers usually left the night before for people to take. As he spotted a loaf of bread, something else caught his eye. Kevin found a strange brown paper bag next to the building. He wondered if it had any more food inside, unaware of the surprise that would change his life forever.

As he approached the bag,he couldn't smell anything that he thought was food. He wondered what was inside of the bag, and why it was left next to the food bank. After making his final guesses at what could be inside, Kevin slowly opened the bag. It was completely stuffed with cash. Kevin was overwhelmed by the multitude of $20 and $100 bills. He add-ed all of them up to see how much money there was in that bag, and it amounted to $17,000.

Kevin couldn't believe his eyes and thought that he must have miscounted. Therefore, he counted again. The second time, it amounted to $17,000,too. However,Kevin decided not to get excited yet. After all, someone could have deliberately tried to fool him by filling the bag with fake money. He checked carefully to see if the money was real. After making sure all of the money was real, he wasn't sure of what he should do with the load of money.
