When something on your fruit or vegetable looks strange, it isn't unusual to throw it to the side . without any hesitation. But some “unusual" parts o[ fruits and vegetables actually contain abundant amounts of health benefits or they may offer other little known uses. Those stings in your banana are no different.
Often thrown away with its skin, banana strings, which are scientifically called phloem bundles, are just as nutritious as the rest( inner pat) of the fruit. They are packed full of fibre, vitamin A, and vitamin B6 and other nutritional content, Phloem can be found in all plants, which is responsible for the transport of nutrients.“ Phloem bundles are made up of living cells that send food products and sugar to all the different parts of the plant," says Rebecca Lee, a registered nurse and the founder of remediesforme. com. And that is exactly what those strings do in the banana, transporting necessary nutrients throughout the delicious fruit so that it can grow up properly.
“They are not disgusting, and they just help the banana grow and become delicious," Dr. Elizabeth Trattner A. P. DOM, Doctor of Chinese and Integrative Medicine, told Reader's Digest. “It is fine to eat and although is structure is a little different from the inside.
Those phloem bundles can also be used to determine if your banana is ready to eat. If all of the
nutrients haven't been transported completely in a balanced way throughout the fruit yet, then the phloem bundles stay on more tightly, meaning the banana is under ripe. Then the opposite occurs with ripe and over ripe bananas, as the strings can be removed more easily. But if your bananas do
end up bring over-ripe. throw them away? Absolutely not!
28. What are the strings of a banana?
A. It’s nutrition producers. B. It’s transporting cells.

A. The ways to deal with over -ripe bananas. B. The reasons for bananas being over -ripe.
C. The steps of stopping bananas being ripe. D. The links between phloem and ripe bananas.

America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have just inflated(充气)a new，experimental capsule for astronauts to use in space. The inflatable room is now an extension to the International Space Station (ISS)." It is more or less four meters long and 3 meters wide. It took three days to fully inflate.
Now ISS members have to wait a week before entering it NASA engineers must first make sure of something particular because even its extremely small split could be a matter of life or death for the astronauts. The blow-up ball is part of a test on the practicality of inflatable accommodation on the moon and Mars, and of orbiting space hotels. NASA paid $ 17.8 million dollars for the test. I hopes this' initial test will lead to bigger and better inflatable rooms at the ISS
The inflatable is the world's first blow up capsule for astronauts, and other space travelers. It is
called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or “BEAM" for short. I1 is named after Bigelow
Aerospace (BA), the company that worked it out and built it. The company is already planning its
next step, aiming for the moon station. Together with United Launch Alliance (ULA), it plans to
send a B330 inflatable capsule to the moon in 2022 after completing independent space station tests.
Company's founder Robert Bigelow is now working on a project to build two private space stations that could serve as hotels in space. He said, “I regard inflatable capsules as a big part of space travel, and sooner or later, space tourism too. Until now, the strong capsules is small enough (about the size of a small bedroom, inflated) to transport as airless units, but big enough lo live in,
once filled with air, which, I hope, most ordinary people are able to afford in the future."
32. Before the astronauts enter the blow-up room, engineers must first check whether it is_______
A. flexible properly B. wide enough C. inflated fully D. sealed totally
33. Who designed the inflatable capsule?
A. NASA. B. ISS. C. BA. D. ULA.
34. What should the future inflatable capsule be like according to Bigelow?
A. Safe. B. Big. C. Cheap. D. Lasting.
35. What can be a suitable tile for the text?
A. A Blow-up Capsule on the Moon Station B. ISS’ Air-filled Extension Being Tested
C. Future Space Travel and Tourism D. World's First Space Hotel by Bigelow

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was a teenager, unfortunately, I was in bad terms with my mother because I refused to stick to her rules._ 36 I decided to take an effort to move the situation off the dead center. I started working at my self- improvement in order to develop a relationship with my mom based on
respect. Below is what I did.
Don't give her the silent treatment. If you think that the silent treatment will always help you achieve a desirable result, then you re mistaken. Sure, your mom will refuse to communicate with
you as well. 37 Psychologists hold that this kind of mental abuse can only worsen the conflict
and fill people's hearts with the feelings of loneliness. It's better to handle the situation by using words.
38 How often do you communicate with your mother? Psychologists say that regular communication with your parents is a normal thing that makes them happier. Lack of communication between mothers and daughters can create emotional( 情感的) barriers.
39 I must admit that earlier I had a terrible habit of drawing my brother and dad into conflicts between me and my mom. Unfortunately , their active participation and frank desire to help only worsened the problem. As a result, small and insignificant mother-daughter fights grew into long-lasting family conflicts._ 40
I hope my experiences and pieces of advice will help you understand that your mother is not an enemy. She' s the one who devotes the best years of her life to successful physical and mental development of your personality,
A. Avoid deeply unpleasant words.
B. Communicate with your mom more often.
C. Don't draw other family members into a conflict.
D. Take immediate action to stop this cold war by all means.
E. Frankly speaking, constant quarrels and conflicts really drove me crazy.
F. There's special emotional connection between mothers and their daughters.
G. I learned a big lesson and realized that my bad temper made my family suffer.

When something on your fruit or vegetable looks strange, it isn't unusual to throw it to the side . without any hesitation. But some “unusual" parts o[ fruits and vegetables actually contain abundant amounts of health benefits or they may offer other little known uses. Those stings in your banana are no different.
Often thrown away with its skin, banana strings, which are scientifically called phloem bundles, are just as nutritious as the rest( inner pat) of the fruit. They are packed full of fibre, vitamin A, and vitamin B6 and other nutritional content, Phloem can be found in all plants, which is responsible for the transport of nutrients.“ Phloem bundles are made up of living cells that send food products and sugar to all the different parts of the plant," says Rebecca Lee, a registered nurse and the founder of remediesforme. com. And that is exactly what those strings do in the banana, transporting necessary nutrients throughout the delicious fruit so that it can grow up properly.
“They are not disgusting, and they just help the banana grow and become delicious," Dr. Elizabeth Trattner A. P. DOM, Doctor of Chinese and Integrative Medicine, told Reader's Digest. “It is fine to eat and although is structure is a little different from the inside.
Those phloem bundles can also be used to determine if your banana is ready to eat. If all of the
nutrients haven't been transported completely in a balanced way throughout the fruit yet, then the phloem bundles stay on more tightly, meaning the banana is under ripe. Then the opposite occurs with ripe and over ripe bananas, as the strings can be removed more easily. But if your bananas do
end up bring over-ripe. throw them away? Absolutely not!

America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have just inflated(充气)a new，experimental capsule for astronauts to use in space. The inflatable room is now an extension to the International Space Station (ISS)." It is more or less four meters long and 3 meters wide. It took three days to fully inflate.
Now ISS members have to wait a week before entering it NASA engineers must first make sure of something particular because even its extremely small split could be a matter of life or death for the astronauts. The blow-up ball is part of a test on the practicality of inflatable accommodation on the moon and Mars, and of orbiting space hotels. NASA paid $ 17.8 million dollars for the test. I hopes this' initial test will lead to bigger and better inflatable rooms at the ISS
The inflatable is the world's first blow up capsule for astronauts, and other space travelers. It is
called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or “BEAM" for short. I1 is named after Bigelow
Aerospace (BA), the company that worked it out and built it. The company is already planning its
next step, aiming for the moon station. Together with United Launch Alliance (ULA), it plans to
send a B330 inflatable capsule to the moon in 2022 after completing independent space station tests.
Company's founder Robert Bigelow is now working on a project to build two private space stations that could serve as hotels in space. He said, “I regard inflatable capsules as a big part of space travel, and sooner or later, space tourism too. Until now, the strong capsules is small enough (about the size of a small bedroom, inflated) to transport as airless units, but big enough lo live in,
once filled with air, which, I hope, most ordinary people are able to afford in the future."
32. Before the astronauts enter the blow-up room, engineers must first check whether it is_______
A. flexible properly B. wide enough C. inflated fully D. sealed totally
33. Who designed the inflatable capsule?
A. NASA. B. ISS. C. BA. D. ULA.
34. What should the future inflatable capsule be like according to Bigelow?
A. Safe. B. Big. C. Cheap. D. Lasting.
35. What can be a suitable tile for the text?
A. A Blow-up Capsule on the Moon Station B. ISS’ Air-filled Extension Being Tested
C. Future Space Travel and Tourism D. World's First Space Hotel by Bigelow

When I was a teenager, unfortunately, I was in bad terms with my mother because I refused to stick to her rules._ 36 I decided to take an effort to move the situation off the dead center. I started working at my self- improvement in order to develop a relationship with my mom based on
respect. Below is what I did.
Don't give her the silent treatment. If you think that the silent treatment will always help you achieve a desirable result, then you re mistaken. Sure, your mom will refuse to communicate with
you as well. 37 Psychologists hold that this kind of mental abuse can only worsen the conflict
and fill people's hearts with the feelings of loneliness. It's better to handle the situation by using words.
38 How often do you communicate with your mother? Psychologists say that regular communication with your parents is a normal thing that makes them happier. Lack of communication between mothers and daughters can create emotional( 情感的) barriers.
39 I must admit that earlier I had a terrible habit of drawing my brother and dad into conflicts between me and my mom. Unfortunately , their active participation and frank desire to help only worsened the problem. As a result, small and insignificant mother-daughter fights grew into long-lasting family conflicts._ 40
I hope my experiences and pieces of advice will help you understand that your mother is not an enemy. She' s the one who devotes the best years of her life to successful physical and mental development of your personality,
A. Avoid deeply unpleasant words.
B. Communicate with your mom more often.
