A
Many people rely on a cup of coffee or two to wake them up in the morning or refresh them during the working day, but now a chemist has come up with a speedy alternative to drinking coffee.
U.S. biochemist Ben Yu has created ‘Sprayable Energy’, which claims to be the world’s first caffeine-based topical energy spray. He said tired workers can spray a ‘shot’ of caffeine onto their skin without experiencing a strong noise, taking in unnecessary calories or being stuck with a nasty aftertaste like they might get from drinking energy drinks or coffee.
The tasteless caffeine spray is absorbed through the skin and spread through the body over a number of hours to deliver a caffeine hit that lasts longer than drinking a cup of coffee. The only active ingredient in the spray is caffeine, which is very similar to nicotine in structure. Each spray Sprayable Energy contains around a quarter of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, but apparently has the same effect as a full cup.
“Sprayable Energy” website said: “The reason for this is our product isn’t entirely metabolized (新陈代谢) by the liver before entering your system and becoming available to your body.” Sprayable Energy’s website recommends that users apply the spray in places where they normally spritz (喷) perfume, such as wrists, the neck or behind the ears, but warns users not to exceed 20 times a day.
It claims that after spraying the product on the skin, users will feel awake and focus without being over-excited, which is common with coffee and energy drinks.
21. Compared with an energy drink or a coffee, what is good about “Sprayable Energy”?
A. It makes no noise. B. It contains lower calories.
C. It has a good taste. D. It contains many active ingredients
22. Which of the body may not be suitable to apply “Sprayable Energy”?
A. The neck B. Behind the ears C. Wrists D. Mouth
23. What can we infer from the text?
A. “Sprayable Energy” contains caffeine as well as nicotine.
B. The liver can metabolize in caffeine before it enters your system.
C. Whenever you feel tired, you can spray the product.
D. After spraying “Sprayable Energy”, you’ll get rid of tiredness.

Most Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week. But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the severe traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding.
The suffering of being stuck in traffic was possibly most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom drove early in the morning to the bride’s home in Zhejiang province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family’s hometown for the wedding. By 4 p.m., Lv’s wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv contacted the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way he could hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5:30 p.m., Lv and his bride said their vows on the side of the road while Lv’s family and friends witnessed the ceremony while listening to the radio.
Lv wasn’t the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train Wednesday. It calculated that 120,000 people gathered at Tiananmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag raising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175,000 tourists on a single day during Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.
Chinese internet users routinely complain about the Golden Week holiday every year. As internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo: “On the Great Wall, I’m holding your hand, but I cannot see your face.”
24. What does the text mainly intend to tell us?
A. A successful roadside wedding during the Golden Week.
B. The popularity of traveling around during the Golden Week.
C. The crowded situation in China during the Golden Week.
D. The cause of the heavy traffic in China during the Golden Week.
25. Lv, the groom, called the local radio because he wanted ________.
A. to ask for help B. to hold their wedding on the air
C. to complain about the traffic conclusion D. to find someone to pick them up
26. By tradition, the wedding was supposed to take place ________.

The King received news one day that a group outlaws were committing some wrong and cruel acts on a distant border of the kingdom.
The news angered the King. He quickly gathered his army and started off for the distant border, leaving his kingdom unguarded and without a ruler.
On their long march, the King and his army made camp for the night wherever they could. One rainy day they stopped in a forest, seeking shelter under the trees. They unsaddled (卸鞍) their horses and steamed some peas, which they fed to their steeds in long narrow containers.
A monkey in a tree nearby saw the horses being fed, and he came racing down, filled both paws with peas, then climbed quickly up to a branch and settled down to eat. But as he opened one paw, a single pea fell to the ground. Without hesitation, my monkey jumped from his branch to hunt for the lost pea, and in doing so, he dropped all the other peas in his paws.
The King observed this foolish monkey and was greatly amused. He timed to his minister and asked: “Friend, what do you think of this monkey who would give up so much to retrieve so little?”
“That is the way of the foolish,” replied the minister, “they will give up much that is certain for a little that is uncertain.”
Then he added, “And we, Great King, are we not like the monkey in the trees. To gain so little we neglect so much exactly like the monkey with its pea.”
The King understood the blame and realized how very foolish he had been himself to leave his kingdom unguarded. He gave out orders to his men, and he and his army returned at once to their country.
28. What did the King do after he knew a group of bad guys were doing something illegal?
A. He asked the minister fro advice. B. He led his army to defeat them.

C. blaming the king gently using the monkey’s example
D. going back and guarding the country
