Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture. He first come up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5-acre furniture forest of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak, and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps. A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but theres nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest. After harvesting, each piece is planed(刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. Its an art form in itself, keeping track of everything. Munro said happily. The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. Theyre grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, these could last for centuries. Quality isnt an issue with forest-grown furniture, but logistics and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.29What is Munro doing at present?ASeeking for cooperation.BCaring for his furniture forest.CDesigning attractive furniture.DAdvertising for his furniture.30What did Munro think of what to do after harvesting?AA heavy job. BA pleasure.CAn easy thing. DA long-lasting task.31When can customers get the forest-grown chairs at the earliest?AIn the spring of 2017. BIn the summer of 2017.CIn the autumn of 2017. DIn the winter of 2017.D Forget drinking countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to stay out of the sun. A study of hundreds of women has revealed that those who avoided the suns rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are. However, other supposed rules for a youthful complexion(肤色), from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to hold back the hands of time. Only keeping out of the sun, and wearing sunscreen when this wasnt possible, made a difference, the American Academy of Dermatologys annual conference will hear today. The finding comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-worshippers. When researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in the US guessed how old the women were, they found those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots, and such a glowing complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were. Researcher Dr Alexa Kimball said the popular belief that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is false and the body is pretty good at judging how much we need. Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a similar conclusion. It isnt clear why the women who slept well didnt have younger-looking skin. But it may be that the question they were asked was too narrow and didnt take into account their long-term sleep patterns.32Which way can help women stay younger?AKeeping out of the sun.BDrinking plenty of water.CHaving a good sleep.DTaking exercise regularly.33How did the researchers know the finding about women of all ages?AThrough calls. BBy interviewing face to face.CBy quizzes. DThrough games.34Whats the main purpose of writing the passage?ATo prove peoples previous ideas are not true.BTo introduce a new way to make women younger.CTo explain how scientists carried out the research.DTo encourage women to take measures to keep younger.35This passage is most probably taken from _.Aa science paper Ba reference bookCa science fiction Da school textbook第二节 (共5小题) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five Life Skills Your Teen Should Learn Before Moving Out _36_ Teens should understand the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition.
