Tday's Brussels spruts(孢子甘蓝) taste better than yu might remember frm childhd, and that is because a new variety has replaced the riginal vegetable. Yu can thank plant breeders(植物育种家) fr the change. Mdern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technlgy, are lking t reprduce Brussels spruts' reinventin.
In the late 1990s, scientists discvered specific chemicals which made Brussels spruts taste bitter. Plan t breeders started grwing ld seeds, previusly abandned due t pr yields(产量), t lk fr tastier versins with lwer levels f these specific chemicals. Then they crssed these delicius but lw-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they fund a versin that made plenty f tasty spruts, transfrming the vegetable frm a bitter pill int a ppular dish.
But ther vegetables haven't fared. That's because mst breeding decisins favr plant traits that matter t vegetable grwers, nt vegetable caters. Fr instance, disease resistance is prbably the majr fcus these days f mst breeding prgrams because that prevents the farmer frm grwing the crp. The taste f vegetables is ignred.
Peple, hwever, are nw becming interested in priritizing the taste f vegetables partly thanks t new genetic technlgy such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enugh t use widely. “There's never been a better time t be a fruit breeder r a vegetable breeder because we have mre tls and techniques,” says Susan Brwn, an apple breeder at Crnell University.
Sme cmpanies are beginning t use thse tls t deal with the challenge f develping tastier vegetables. One cmpany, Pairwise, is fighting the same cmpunds that trubled Brussels spruts: glucsinlates. But this time researchers are imprving the flavr f salad greens.
All vegetable grwers hpe that mre flavrful prducts n stre shelves will cnvince peple t cnsume the recmmended allwances(推荐量) f fruits and vegetables —and d s better than decades f nutritin al guidance have. “Dn't waste yur time talking abut trying t educate peple t eat better,” said Harry Klee, a prfessr wh specializes in tmat breeding. “Just give them prducts that taste better and that they want t eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grw ld Brussels sprut seeds?
A. T find ut why Brussels spruts are bitter.
B. T find the less bitter versins f Brussels spruts.
C. T study the specific chemicals f Brussels 'spruts.
D. T select high-yielding versins f Brussels spruts.
29. What des the underlined wrd “fared” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prfited B. Emerged. C. Survived. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn frm Susan Brwn's wrds in paragraph 4?
A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are bming.
B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need n further imprvement.
C. Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling t develp new species.
D. Fruit and vegetable breeders shuld develp new genetic technlgy.
31. Which is the best way t get peple t eat mre fruits and vegetables accrding t Harry Klee?

The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it's becme s widely accepted that it serves as a tuchstne fr health—a diagnstic tl used by physicians and parents as a basic indicatr f whether smene is sick r well. Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn't, in fact, crrect---r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.
Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted nrm(标准), s the Stanfrd team, led by Julie Par-snnet, MD, prfessr f medicine and f health research and plicy, decided t d a mre in-depth study t cmpare mdern measurements with histrical recrds t try t identify bdy temperature trends and, perhaps, uncver the reasn why this cling is happening.
Fr their research, the Stanfrd team lked at three distinct data sets frm tw histrical perids. After ging thrugh 677,423 temperature measurements, the team fund that men brn in the 21st century had an average bdy temperature f 0.6°C lwer than that f thse brn in the early19th century while mdern wmen shwed an average decrease f 0.03°C cmpared t thse brn in the 1890s.
As t why this is happening, the researchers say that the mst likely mechanism is a reductin in the human metablic rate(代谢率) due t envirnmental factrs: One pssibility is that imprvements in public health ver 200 years have reduced the incidence f inflammatins(炎症),which prmte metablism. This cmbined with peple living mre cmfrtable lives in mre stable envirnments means that the bdy desn't have t wrk as hard t stay warm, s the average temperature falls.
“The envirnment that we're living in has changed, including the temperature in ur hmes, ur cntact with micrrganisms(微生物) and the fd that we have access t. All these things mean that althugh we cnsider human beings as the same fr all f human evlutin, we're nt the same. We're actually changing physilgically,” Parsnnet said.
32. What is Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich's achievement?
A. He set up standards fr human health services.
B. He predicted trends in human bdy temperature.
C. He first used bdy temperature as a health indicatr.
D. He prpsed the standard human bdy temperature.
33. What can we learn abut the Stanfrd team’s study?
A. It shws wmen have a lwer bdy temperature than men.
B. It prves human bdy temperature has drpped at a faster rate.
C. It cmpared histrical and current human bdy temperature data.
D. It suggested updating the definitin f the average bdy temperature.
34. Which f the fllwing is thught t cause the decrease in human bdy temperature?
A. The imprved living cnditins.
B. The cntact with ther creatures.
C. The dec line in physically demanding wrk.
D. The adaptatin f humans t climate change.
35. Which ne culd be the best title fr the text?
A. What exactly is nrmal human bdy temperature?
B. Why des human bdy temperature need measuring?
C. Human bdy temperature has decreased ver the years
D. Human bdy temperature changes with the envirnment

Set feasible(可行的) gals. It can be helpful t break dwn the feedback int specific, feasible gals. 40 Set time t utline an actin plan and timeline fr each f these gals. With this, yu can keep track f yur prgress and hld yurself accuntable t yur gals.
Thugh negative feedback may be disheartening, take the necessary steps t becme an even better versin f yurself.
