But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its heal

2、th benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黃烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate

3、 has none. But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds,said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this,dark chocola

4、te is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind. First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. Generally speaking,the hi

5、gher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat, Hartings said. Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is trea

6、ted with an alkali(堿). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols. And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories.1.Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of_.A.rich mineralsB.less sugarC.cocoa flava

9、 pockets,feeling a vibration(振動(dòng)), wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung. The phenomenon even has a name: phantom vibration syndromeand found it is surprisingly common. Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警覺) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasm

10、s(痙攣) as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls. He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on “si

11、lent. But when the device is retrieved,there was no one on the other end. Dr. Rosenberger said, “ I find so many people say, This happens to me, but I thought I was the only one. I thought I was odd. It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or page

12、rs. A 2021 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent. While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be

13、 considered a grave problem. Dr. Rosenberger said,“Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. Thats just the name thats got stuck to it. He added, “Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem. While widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bo

14、ttom of why we suffer phantom calls. Dr. Rosenberger said, People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The cognitive(認(rèn)知的) scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But its not like they have brain scans to go on. He said, “We have a phone call in

15、our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness to experience a call. We feel something and we think, OK, that could be a call.1.Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A.They all have a vivid imagination.B.They are sensitiv

17、In Dr. Rosenbergers opinion, phantom vibration syndrome_.A.isnt a kind of disease actuallyB.is considered a problem by most peopleC.is a serious problem ignored by peopleD.has something to do with brain chemistry3、 It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without

18、 homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖場) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing the

19、ir part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops. The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it

20、 will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inh

Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty casesit was removed earlier t

22、his month. San Franciscos law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they arent the first city to pass this type of measure.

Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineerstoday there are over 500.Cybercrime (網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪) has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian

37、 Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabrizs biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Googles software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20,000 for reported mist

38、akes.Its a world away from Tabrizs computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff

39、today and youll find women like Tabriz are few and far between(稀少的) though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits theres an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a

40、computer, but a vending machine. Tabrizs job is as much about technological know-how (專門知識(shí)) as understanding the psychology of attackers.r frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.2.Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A.To protect Google against cybercrime.B.

It says ships still continue to rub against the canals walls and w

43、ear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous system The canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船閘). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to

44、 ocean. With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied t

45、o the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal. At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (墊料) lining the walls. Not enough train

46、ing Even before the expanded canal opened in June 2021, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system.Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through. The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2021 and January 2021, there we

47、re only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal. Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (減震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say

48、they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks dont need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new loc

49、ks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.2.What is the Panama Canal Authoritys attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.3.What can we learn about the current system o

50、f defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it. 7、 Stonehenge,the world-famous circle of stone columns may have had a brother. A much bigger, older bro

51、ther. University of Bradford researchers announced they had discovered about 100 stones covering several acres thought to have been built around 4,500 years ago. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project discovered the monument, which is near Durrington Walls,also known as “superhenge. Stonehenge,whi

52、ch is believed to have been completed 3,500 years ago,is about 2 miles away. “What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe, Vince Gaffney. The evidence was found under 3 feet of earth

53、. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall before they were toppled. “Our radar data has shown an amazing row of up to 90 standing stones,a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a large bank placed over the stones, said professor Wolfgang Neubauer, director of t

54、he Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology. “In the east,up to 30 stones. have survived below, he said. “The extraordinary scale and details of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls,

55、is changing greatly our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it, Neubauer added. “Everything written before about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten, said Paul Garwood, a scientist and lead historian on the project at the University of

56、Birmingham. The findings were announced on the first day of the British Science Festival being held at the University of Bradford.1.Compared to the Stonehenge,the superhenge is believed to be_.A.1,000 years earlierB.1,000 years laterC.3,500 years earlierD.4,500 years earlier2.What do researchers thi

59、needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助動(dòng)詞) and suffixes (后綴), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey diffe

60、rent meanings. However, the question which many language experts cant understand and explain iswho created grammar? Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didnt know each others languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are stri
