We humans are addicted to sugar. That makes sense. All animals need sugar to live. It’s the fuel that powers our cells. So it’s not surprising that we’re born to want the sweet stuff.

Sugar stores the sun’s energy like a battery. After a meal, your body breaks down foods into their building blocks. It uses some sugar for energy right away. The rest get stored for the body to break down later. It’s a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited, but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy. That’s because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel. When you eat other kinds of foods, like vegetables, it takes longer for your body to break the sugar down.

These days it’s easy to find sweet snacks. Sodas, candy, cakes and even foods that seem healthy, such as yogurt, can be packed with sugar. Food makers add sugar, because they know that to humans, sweet makes everything taste better. Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day. That’s more than what is good for us.

Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache. It can make people overweight, decay the teeth and even cause diabetes(糖尿病). However, experts aren’t worried about naturally sweet foods — the problem is added sugar. So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar­rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff.

Even cake is great once in a while, as long as you don’t overdo it. After all, no one wants life to be dull. And your body needs its fuel!

24. The first two paragraphs are mainly developed by ________．

A. giving examples B. problem and solution

C. cause and effect D. making comparisons

25. People may be tricked into eating too much sugar because ________．

A. so-called healthy food can be packed with sugar

B. we’re born to want the sweet stuff

C. no one wants life to be boring

D. sugar is the fuel for the plants and animals on the earth

26. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 4?

A. We’d better say no to sweet foods.

B. We’d better consume sugar from natural sources.

C. Eating too much sugar is bad for our health.

D. Experts are worried about added sugar.

27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sugar Is Everywhere B. Sugar Brings Happiness

C. Why Do We Love Sugar? D. Why Does Sugar Make Us Fat?

C

China's livestreaming e-commerce industry has witnessed explosive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus creating new growth opportunities for a wide range of businesses.

Cao lei, director of the E-Commerce Research Center at the Internet Economy Institute, said that while most e-commerce platforms have now hit bottlenecks in finding new customers, livestreaming provides an important channel for them to tap into customers living in fourth and fifth-tier cities as well as rural areas.“What's more, livestreaming allows hosts to answer call-in questions from digital audiences in real time, which will enhance shopping experiences and attract more netizens to shop online," Cao added.

The number of people likely to watch livestreaming e-commerce events is 388 million in 2020. The typical livestreaming e-commerce session involves celebrities promoting and selling goods while answering questions from an online audience， with everything taking place in real time via devices such as smartphones.

Livestreaming is increasingly gaining popularity as a new online shopping platform among Chinese netizens, creating a huge market worth more than 970 bilion yuan ( $ 149.9 bilion) in 2020. E-commerce giant Alibaba's Taobao Live has taken the lion's share of livestreaming, as 68.5 percent of consumers use the service, according to a survey conducted by the China Consumers Association. Douyin and Kuaishou have taken second and third spots, respectively. Other large Chinese Internet and e-commerce players like JD. com have also thrown their hats into the ring.

Livestreaming has become a key means for brands to gain awareness and boost sales, and for smaller operators such as farmers to have better access to consumers, especially during the pandemic period.

28. What contributes to better shopping experiences in livestreaming?

A. Discount price of products.

B. Participation of some popular guests.

We interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.

Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:

“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like being anonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”

Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:

“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. We know our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”

32 What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?

A. She had no friends. B. There was no privacy.

C. There was a lot of competition. D. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.

33. What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Alone. B. Prepared. C. Sociable. D. Unknown.

34. Different from Janet, Troy ________.

A. prefers country life B. moved to a bigger city

C. grew up in a smaller town D. knows little about his new neighbors

35. What is Troy’s opinion on living in Bloomfield?

A. It is a little boring. B. It is quite comfortable.

C. It costs a lot of money. D. It creates a safe environment.
