A
For centuries, people have tried to invent a perfect universal written language and Chinese has actually been considered before. Francis Bacon used to assume that a language like Chinese and its writing system would have qualified. Chinese doesn’t use an alphabet based on sounds, but symbols indicating meaning.
Chinese character has its special relationship between the sign and what it symbolized. Each character represents a word or a concept and you pile them up together like Lego bricks, children’s plastic building toys, to build more words. Some of them also look like what they represent. For example, a mountain may look just like a mountain with a peak in the middle. And fire resembles some blazing (燃烧的) logs. When you put them together and you get volcano. Isn’t that amazing?
While some of them look like what they represent, most of them really don’t. In fact, some of them are incredibly complicated. For instance, “Biang” is the name of a kind of noodle, which has 57 strokes (笔画). It is very hard for people to pronounce or recognize this character, let alone writing it out correctly. Chinese is so complicated that since the 1950s, a simplified system of characters has been used in mainland China. But there is a problem. Chinese characters often represent whole works, and there are a lot of them. In the Chinese dictionary there are around sixty four thousand characters.
So Chinese characters might not become a universal writing system soon. The trouble is not just inventing one, but getting people to use it. It wouldn’t be easy for the whole world to agree on the same set of meanings. After all, language needs a cultural context. You cannot really just use a universal language as you like.
1、What can we learn from Francis Bacon?
A．He believed that Chinese writing system was perfect.
B．He managed to invent a universal written language.
C．He recommended Chinese to use alphabets based on sounds.
D．He thought written Chinese language could be used globally.
2、How does the author explain the characteristic of Chinese character?
A．By analyzing structures of toys. B．By comparing concepts.
C．By giving examples. D．By collecting data.
3、Why do Chinese people use a simplified system of Chinese characters?
A．It is hard to pronounce Chinese characters.
B．It is difficult to recognize or write Chinese characters.
C．It is fashionable to use simplified Chinese characters.
D．It is complicated to look up Chinese characters in the dictionaries.
4、What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to write simplified Chinese characters.
B．Why people need a universal written language.
C．Chinese is a perfect universal written language.
D．Whether Chinese are suitable to be a world language.

B
Your New Year’s plan to move more is one of the toughest to stick to, and a group of scientists working with obese(过度肥胖的) mice think they’re starting to understand why
Rather than our sedentary(久坐的) lives causing weight gain, says Alexxai Kraviz, the National Institutes of Health neuroscientist who led the study, changes in brain chemistry after we start gaining weight affect our capacity to move.
“Obses mice can move just fine,” says Kravitz, who published the work with his team in Cell Metabolism “They just don’t.”
What Kravitz’s team found is that the activity of a particular dopamine(多巴胺) receptor linked to movement goes down as mice gain weight on a high-fat diet. So the nice slow down and they move less. And when the researchers restored the activity of that dopamine receptor—DR2—the mice started moving more, even though they were still obese. The team also saw that lean mice missing the DR2 receptor acted like obese mice. This is the target, says Kravitz—restoring that dopamine receptor function. “Maybe 20 or 30 years down the road, we could do that in people,” he says.
And there is one more thing: The scientists fed normal mice and the mice lacking DR2 the same high-fat diet. Both sets of mice gained weight at the same rate.
Kravitz says this is important because mice lacking DR2 move less from the get-go, whereas a normal mouse takes a little time to start seeing that dopamine receptor-related loss of exercise. The ability to exercise seems to be disconnected from weight gain, he says.
“Exercise is a healthy thing to do, but its impact on weight loss has been exaggerated,” he says. “We have to be realistic about the size of the effect of exercise on weight, as opposed to health benefits.”
Still, before you abandon your New Year’s exercise plan, keep in mind that this study was done using a high-fat diet, and not the normal calorie restriction that people maintain when they diet.
That’s a big drawback to the work, says Vicki Vieira-Potter, a University of Missouri physiologist not involved in the study.
“They feed the mice with high-fat diet, it damages the receptor, and that decreases activity. Those who plan to lost weight should remember high-fat diet is a nice way to cause obesity in the lab, but it’s not the same as the normal situation of obesity,” she says.
Sine also says that a lot of the weight gain in the mice came after they stopped moving around, which indicates that the loss of movement did impact obesity.
1、Alexxai Kravitz is likely to agree that ________.
A．high-fat food leads to the lack of DR2
B．less movement results from weight gain
C．the lack of DR2 results in less movement
D．weight gain leads to the inactivity of DR2.
2、What can we infer from the research mentioned in the passage?
A．High-fat diet is bound to cause obesity.
B．The research team aim to deal with human obesity.
C．High-fat diet has little influence on the rate of weight gain.
D．Obese mice’s ability to move is affected by the inactivity of DR2.
3、The underlined word “exaggerated” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “________”.
A．underestimated B．excluded C．overlooked D．overemphasized
4、According to Vicki Vicki-Vieira-Potter, ________.
A．besides diet, other factors behind obesity shouldn’t be ignored in daily life
B．the total loss of movement can do harm to the function of DR2
C．Alexxai Kravitz’s team misread the results of the research
D．obesity is mainly caused by high-fat diet people take.
