Which fruit personality are you?
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.
Types
Introduction & Management
Apple:
Hard Core
Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport.
1. Always stand up to them.
2. Get to the point.
3. Don’t take it personally.
4. Watch and learn from them.
Mango:
Juicy and Messy
Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers.

2. Give them false deadlines.
3. Don’t micro-manage.
Lemon:
Concentrated
Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating.
1. Respect their need for space.
2. Don’t surprise them.
3. Listen with respect.
4. Show your pace.
Banana:
Sweet and Gentle
Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive.
1. Don’t pressure them, motivate.
2. Create a positive environment.
3. Encourage regular feedback.
4. Be nice to them.
1. What do people of Mango and Lemon personalities have in common?
A. They both prefer private space and specific deadlines.
B. They both dislike being restricted by excessive rules.
C. They both serve as good ice-breakers of the workplace.
D. They both need regular feedback and being motivated.
2. Who probably favors the Banana Personality?

And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.(在识别人格类型时,我喜欢用水果来描述。没有人只是一种水果,但我们都有自己的偏好。我们倾向于强调我们的前两个,尤其是在压力下。以下是一些水果的个性,以及如何最好地处理它们)”结合文章主要介绍了四种水果类型的人格的特点。可知,这篇文章可能出现在心理学杂志上。故选D。
B
In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D. C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
4. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
5. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave.
6. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence.
C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity.
7. What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study.
C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威廉·卡索参加拼字比赛的经历以及取得的成就。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it.(在医学院和他作为新生儿学家的整个职业生涯中,威廉·卡索经常被要求阅读和纠正别人的工作。他们不知道他是一个拼写冠军,家里的奖杯证明了这一点)”可知,卡索用他的拼写能力来帮助别人。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook.(当范围缩小到两名竞争者时,另一个男孩拼错了“uncinate”,意思是像钩子一样弯曲)”以及划线词上文“Cashore spelled it correctly(Cashore拼写正确了)”可知,当只剩下两位参赛者时,另一个男孩拼错了uncinated,而Cashore正确拼写了这个词,随后用transept这个词获胜。故clinched意思是“获胜”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said.(他说:“这给了我更多的自信,也让我意识到,尽可能把事情做好是非常重要的。”)”可知,拼字比赛让卡索增强了信心。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.(卡索说:“与几十年前相比,现在准备拼写比赛需要更多的注意力和技巧。这些词汇的词汇量要专业得多。与此同时,英语也从外语中引入了大量词汇,这些词汇在我上八年级的时候还不属于英语。”)”可知,根据卡索的说法,我们应该为今天的拼写比赛努力提高相关技能。故选D。
C
Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive(侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist them change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.
To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. Shaping the image of an Oversharer.
B. Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C. Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk.
D. Presenting different opinions about sharing.
9. Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?
A. They want sympathy from others.
B. They see it as a way to break the ice.
C. They are curious about others’ sufferings.
D. They long for closer connections with others.
10. What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?
A. Ignore their comments. B. Demanding an apology.
C. Declaring your boundaries. D. Criticizing their rudeness.
11. What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?
A. To check her friend’s boundary. B. To show admiration for her friend.
C. To learn from her friend’s experience. D. To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“过度分享者”这一现象进行讨论,分析了过度分享者的特点、行为背后的动机,以及面对过度分享者时我们应该如何应对。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.(对别人婚姻的不请自来的意见,他们不断的失败,或者浴室里发生的任何事情,都是你手上有一个过度分享者的迹象。不管他们是说得太多,还是问你一些你不太愿意分享的细节,这种太常见的角色是没有界限的。)”可知,第一段描述了过度分享者的行为特点,如未经邀请就发表关于某人的婚姻、他们的持续失败或浴室里刚发生的任何事情的意见,这些都是你遇到了一个过度分享者的线索。因此,该段的主要功能是塑造一个过度分享者的形象,让读者对这种人有一个清晰的认识。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves—and hoping you’ll do the same. (在同样尴尬的时候,“过度分享者”只是想通过透露更多关于他们自己的信息来接近你,并希望你也这样做。)”和“but they really just want to be liked and accepted.(但他们真的只是想被喜欢和接受。)”可知,过度分享者通过透露更多关于自己的事情来试图与你拉近距离,并希望你也能这样做。因此,他们之所以对谈论私人问题感兴趣,是因为他们渴望与他人建立更紧密的联系。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed.(当他们真的越界了,不要害羞。说一些表明你的界限被越过了的话。)”可知,当过度分享者越过了你的界限时,建议的做法是声明你的界限。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段是对倒数第二段提出的建议的解释,根据倒数第二段内容“A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.(赞美对“过度分享者”也有很好的效果,Gerber补充说,因为它可以将谈话的焦点重新集中在他们的方向上,同时巧妙地重置你的界限。)”以及最后一段“To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer—or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.(例如,当我的好管闲事的朋友问我打算什么时候要孩子时,下次我会给出这样明智的回答:“你让生孩子看起来很容易!你是怎么做到的?”然后点头微笑,点头微笑。也许我这辈子不会再要孩子了,但至少我准备好面对一个“过度分享者”——或者任何一个创造世界所需要的具有挑战性的人。)”可知,作者对她的爱打听的朋友关于她何时计划生孩子的问题,通过回答“你让孩子们看起来如此容易!你是怎么做到的?”赞美朋友来回应,从而将焦点从自己转移到她的朋友身上。故选D。
D
Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations.
In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them.
VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses.
Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.
The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.”
So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device.
12. What do we know about the VOCs according to the text?
A. Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions.
B. The VOCs mostly come from sweat.
C. VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status.
D. Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs.
13. Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4?
A. To show the amazing wisdom of animals.
B. To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer.
C. To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers.
D. To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers.
14. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs?
A. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases.
B. Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs.
C. Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases.
D. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Morin’s Contributions to VOCs
B. The Function of Sweat in Our Health
C. Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells
D. Body Smell Resulting in Diseases
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人体释放的VOCs与健康状况之间的关系,解释了这些化学物质的来源、它如何揭示健康信息,以及科研人员如何利用这些信息探索疾病诊断的可能性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic(新陈代谢)processes and are excreted(排泄)through skin glands. (这些挥发性有机化合物来源于人体的代谢过程,并通过皮肤腺体排出体外。)”可知,我们身体的代谢过程是这些发挥性有机化合物的来源。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.(具有高级嗅觉的动物,如狗,已经证明它们可以检测出人类的各种癌症。虽然这些气味通常是人的鼻子无法察觉的,但它们提供了证据,表明我们的身体在出现问题时会发出不同的气味。)”可知,作者提到像狗这样的动物是为了强调VOCs作为疾病诊断标记的潜力,因为这些动物能够嗅出人类身上的不同疾病,说明VOCs确实携带了与健康相关的信息。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. (所以,谁知道呢——也许有一天我们可以通过对着一个设备呼吸来检测疾病。)”可知,未来可能产生的技术是能够分析VOCs来诊断疾病的设备。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. (人体每天向空气中释放数百种化合物,这些化合物揭示的不仅仅是我们的健康习惯;它们也可以表明我们的健康状况。)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要围绕着人体释放的VOCs如何反映健康状况,并有可能成为疾病诊断的工具这一主题展开。因此合适的标题为“Detecting Diseases through Body Smells”。故选C。

How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet
Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫).
___16___ Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable.
Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. ___17___ It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. ___18___ Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage.
Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. ___19___ If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in.
Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. ___20___
A. Understand bird behavior.
B. Train your bird to be quiet.
C. This may be especially useful for parrots.
D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love.
E. Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe.
F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone.
G. Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. E

Which fruit personality are you?
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.
Types

Apple:
Hard Core
Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport.

2. Get to the point.
3. Don’t take it personally.
4. Watch and learn from them.
Mango:

2. Give them false deadlines.
3 Don’t micro-manage.

Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating.
1. Respect their need for space.
2. Don’t surprise them.
3. Listen with respect.
4. Show your pace.
Banana:
Sweet and Gentle

In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D. C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
4. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
5. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave.
6. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence.
C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity.
7. What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study.
C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills.
C
Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.
“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”
At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive(侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”
To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist them change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.
A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.
To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. Shaping the image of an Oversharer.
B. Stressing the importance of boundaries.
C. Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk.
D. Presenting different opinions about sharing.
9. Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?
A. They want sympathy from others.
B. They see it as a way to break the ice.
C. They are curious about others’ sufferings.
D. They long for closer connections with others.
10. What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?
A. Ignore their comments. B. Demanding an apology.
C. Declaring your boundaries. D. Criticizing their rudeness.
11. What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?
A. To check her friend’s boundary. B. To show admiration for her friend.
C. To learn from her friend’s experience. D. To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.
D
Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations.
In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them.
VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses.
Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.
The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.”
So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device.
12. What do we know about the VOCs according to the text?
A. Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions.
B. The VOCs mostly come from sweat.
C. VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status.
D. Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs.
13. Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4?
A. To show the amazing wisdom of animals.
B. To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer.
C. To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers.
D. To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers.
14. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs?
A. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases.
B. Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs.
C. Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases.
D. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Morin’s Contributions to VOCs
B. The Function of Sweat in Our Health
C. Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells
D. Body Smell Resulting in Diseases

How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet
Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫).
___16___ Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable.
Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. ___17___ It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. ___18___ Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage.
Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. ___19___ If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in.
Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. ___20___
A. Understand bird behavior.
B. Train your bird to be quiet.
C. This may be especially useful for parrots.
D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love.
E. Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe.
F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone.
G. Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same.
