22、. It may even help improve your test scores. This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to b

23、ad breath. Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. Thats because the lining (膜 ) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠 ) can. That discovery could help

24、other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial (抗菌的 ) gums that cure bad breath. Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: Theyve creat

25、ed a gum that could help us stay awake. Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

31、o get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are. The studys authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that w

32、hen people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, youre just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked partici

33、pants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written. In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thou

34、ghts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.” Those with low self-esteem didnt feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those o

35、f members of the control group, who werent urged to think positive thoughts. The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗 ) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse.

40、 With the development of society and economy, animals and their habitats are getting pushed aside as households decrease in size and increase in number. Small numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. Greater numbers of households require more natural resources

41、 for construction. The possible result of this problem may be insufficient natural resources to meet consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity. Personal freedom and social choice may come at huge environmental cost. Direct costs include visible damage to animal habitats

42、and plant life. Indirect costs include the release of more greenhouse gases. The effects of such “personal freedom and social choice” have already surfaced in south-west Chinas Wolong Nature Reserve. In Wolong, they found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in home

43、s, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood consumed for cooking and heating. The rise in wood fuel use has contributed to disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas. Curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing similar phenomena, they got the sup

44、port of a team of researchers including Stanfords Paul Ehrlich, well-known for his population studies, to find out the household dynamics in 141 countries between 1985 and 2000. Their study proved that the difficult choice of Wolong is part of a global trend. In the 76 countries considered biodivers

45、ity “hotspots”, such as the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Kenya, the number of households grew by 3.1% every year, while the population increased just 1.8%. Meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. The decline in household size has resulted in 155 million additional

46、households in hotspot countries, almost always limiting biodiversity. In the 10 non-hotspot countries those without high -density areas of animal and plant species similar results were found, though on a lesser scale. Even in countrie s experiencing population decline, such as New Zealand, the numbe

47、r of households still increased because of a reduction in household size. 【小题 1】 What does the underlined word “insufficient” mean A Plenty of. B Not enough. C Abundant. D Little. 【小题 2】 It can be learned from the passage that Chinas Wolong Nature Reserve_ A is facing the same threat as many other p

48、arts of the world B sets a good example in protecting animals C is a place where giant pandas and their habitats are not affected D is a place where animals and their habitats are seriously damaged 【小题 3】 Which of the following is best supported by the last two paragraphs A Biodiversity is better kept in countries with smaller populations.
