18、huge praise.Though Aaron makes his stunts (特技表演) look easy, doing tricks in a wheelchair is very different from using a skateboard or bike. Its a completely different skill set.If a skateboarder goes into a backflip like Aarons and doesnt start out with enough rotation (旋转), he or she can bend his o

19、r her body to speed up. This allows a skateboarder to make complete rotation in time for a successful landing. But Aaron cant bend his body any more than it is already.That means Aaron has to have everything perfect before going into a backflip. He needs to launch himself to just the right height. I

20、f he doesnt, he could fall on the ground completely. My rotation is so quick that I dont have much time to think, says Aaron.Aarons stunts take a lot of practice. He tries to make it to the skate park every day to work on his backflip and try out new tricks. Even though hes an excellent athlete, Aar

25、heart attack.Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received 4 main suggestions from their doctors: eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these 4 pieces of advice: Large studies have found th

26、at making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They are discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector

27、as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alc

28、ohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.When that news started coming out, doctors began putting sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But I dont think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top! I believe that getti

29、ng enough sleep-at least seven to eight hours per night for most people- is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.Sure, Id prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, Id

30、pick sleep because when you are well- rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and you have the resilience you need to kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when youre exhausted, everything in life is more

31、difficult.28. What does plenty of research show about the 4 main suggestions?AThey are the best ways found so far. BThey help improve peoples health.CThey are not as helpful as expected. DThey are completely useless.29. What does the latest research show?A. Seven hours sleep is most important to the

34、co say they may have found a way to cut the production of methane (甲烷), a gas linked to rising temperatures on the Earths surface. The scientists say their method may help reduce the methane released by cows, one of the main producers of the gas.When talking about global warming, many people think o

35、f carbon dioxide, another heat-trapping gas. However, methane is an even more powerful heat-trapping gas. Anyhow, cows are known to produce high levels of methane Researchers at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico are studying how a cows diet affects the production of methane. The resea

36、rchers are using a specially designed machine to measure the effect. The scientists use the machine to try to measure the animals breathing to examine the methane released.Most of the gas is released when cows eat and process food. The digestive(助消化的) bacteria in a cows stomach causes the animal to

37、send out the gas through its mouth. There are an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 billion cows in the world. Each animal releases as much as 120 kilograms of methane per year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that, whenever measured in pounds, the effect of methane on climate change is more than

38、 25 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.As it is difficult to capture the gas released by cows for use as energy, one way to lessen its release is to change their diet. Scientists in some countries are looking for ways to decrease cow methane. But while they are trying different

39、 plants and chemical compounds, those products would be too costly and difficult to bring to Mexico.32. How harmful is the gas sent off by cows?A. It is more difficult to control its amount.B.
