8、e not to be part of a groupD. To decide on BOne day I was driving home with a woman. She rolled down the window, fifty feet away from the driveway and spit her gum （口香糖）out of the window. “Couldnt you just wait five seconds and put your gum where it belongs?” I asked, annoyed. She was not the only o

9、ne who was gum-lazy. Consider the following. Every time I brush chewed gum under my desk, I shake with fright. At Folsom Middle School, whenever I had to walk by the gum wall next to the girls locker room, I felt totally disgusted. When I was young, I walked outside during my dance show in my ballet

10、 shoes, always stepping right on a big and juicy piece of bubble gum. I was extremely upset.The worst part of all these incidents is that a trash can is located near. But some people are too lazy to walk towards it. If you cant be a responsible gum chewer, dont chew at all. Thats all Im going to say

11、. Take Singapore as a good example. The chewing gum ban in Singapore was placed. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore, whether for the purpose of trade or personal chewing. However, the ban has been partly lifted with some types of gum, such as medical gum, allowable. This es with

12、 the warning that it is sold only by a druggist, who has to take down the names of buyers. Obviously, the Singapore government gets angry at gum stuck in keyholes of mailboxes and on elevator buttons. Not only is it annoying, but chewing gum can actually do harm to the health. Most gum contains aspa

13、rtame （阿斯巴甜）, a chemical sweetener（增甜剂）that the US government is now deciding whether or not it is a deadly chemical. If it is, it may cause cancer.

17、all. According to a poll （民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans dont get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some wont do well without more. But

18、 the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful

19、 has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: Were likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any

20、reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didnt function as well during the

21、day.But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no

22、 matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we cant be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.28. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _.A.

She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps.Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!Biologists watching t

26、he chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?Many scientists dont think it has anything to do with luck. Theyre discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these

27、animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we dont know about forest plants. Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “Yo

28、u must know a lot about an animals feeding habits to know what it doesnt consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves. When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought some

29、thing interesting was going on-especially when he saw that theyd sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves. “They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They

30、 seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Lat
