Cheerleading squads (啦啦队) are known for their energy and athleticism, and always add fun and excitement to any event. Most cheerleading groups have young members, so this Arizona cheerleading squad certainly stands out. Sun City Poms, which only recruits (招募) members who are over 55, has distinguished itself as a cheerleading squad that brings joy to seniors and audiences of all ages.

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known as “the third pole”, or “the roof of the world”, is one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth. While biological evolution at several genomic loci (基因组位点) enabled early people in Xizang to better adapt to high altitudes, obtaining sufficient food from the resource-poor highlands would have remained a challenge.
Now, a new study of The British Academy reveals that dairy product was a key component of early human diets on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The study reports ancient proteins from the dental calculus of 40 human individuals from 15 sites across the inner plateau.
“Our protein evidence shows that dairying was introduced onto the hinterland plateau by at least 3,500 years ago,” states Prof. Hongliang Lu, corresponding author of this study. Ancient protein evidence indicates that dairy products were consumed by diverse populations, including females and males, adults and children, as well as individuals from both upper class and lower class. Additionally, prehistoric Xizang highlanders made use of the dairy products of goats, sheep, and possibly cattle and yak. Early pastoralists (牧民) in western Xizang seemed to have had a preference for goat milk.
“The adoption of pastoralism helped to revolutionize people’s ability to occupy much of the plateau, particularly the vast areas too extreme for crop cultivation,” says Prof. Nicole Boivin, senior author of the study.
Tracing dairying in the deep past has long been a challenge for researchers. Traditionally, archaeologists analyzed the remains of animals and the interiors of food containers for evidence of dairying. However, the ability of these sources to provide direct evidence of milk consumption is often limited.
“Palaeoproteomics (古蛋白质组学) is a new and powerful tool that allows us to investigate Xizang diets in unheard-of detail,” says coauthor Dr. Shevan Wilkin. “The analysis of proteins in ancient human dental calculus not only offers direct evidence of dietary intake, but also allows us to identify which species the milk came from.”
8.What made early humans in Xizang adapt to high altitudes?
A.Sufficient food. B.Dairy products.
C.Their strong will. D.Natural selection.
9.What is reflected in ancient proteins about early humans in Xizang?
A.Their physical age. B.Their daily diet.
C.Their mental health. D.Their social status.
10.What is the restriction of the traditional way of tracing dairying?
A.Failing to ensure the correctness. B.Taking up too much space and time.
C.Lacking remains of ancient animals. D.Demanding too many professional researchers.
11.Where does the text most likely come from?
A.A government work report. B.A local radio program.
C.A science journal. D.A collection of anecdotes.

New research links outdoor air pollution — even at levels considered safe — to an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) globally, according to a study from the VA St. Louis Health Care System. The findings raise the possibility that reducing pollution may lead to a drop in diabetes cases in heavily polluted countries such as India and less polluted ones such as the United States.
Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases, affecting more than 500 million people worldwide. The main drivers of diabetes include eating an unhealthy diet, having a sedentary lifestyle and obesity, but the new research indicates the extent to which outdoor air pollution plays a role.
“Our research shows a significant link between air pollution and diabetes globally,” said Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, the study’s senior author and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Washington. “We found an increased risk, even at low levels of air pollution currently considered safe by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). This is important because many industry lobbying (游说) groups argue that current levels are too stringent and should be relaxed. Evidence shows that current levels are still not sufficiently safe and need to be tightened.”
While growing evidence has suggested a link between air pollution and diabetes, researchers have not attempted to quantify that burden until now. “Over the past two decades, there have been bits of research about diabetes and pollution,” said Al-Aly. “We wanted to thread together the pieces for a broader, more solid understanding.”
The researchers also found that the overall risk of pollution-related diabetes tilted (倾斜) more toward lower-income countries such as India that lack the resources for environmental mitigation systems and clean-air policies. For instance, poverty-stricken countries facing a higher diabetes-pollution risk include Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea and Guyana, while richer countries such as France, Finland and Iceland experience a lower risk. The US experiences a medium risk of pollution-related diabetes.
12.What does the underlined word “stringent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Strict. B.Slight. C.Bright. D.Ordinary.
13.What’s the purpose of Al-Aly’s team?
A.To identify the causes of diabetes. B.To make better air pollution control policies.
C.To lead the study of diabetes and air pollution. D.To figure out the link between pollution and diabetes.
14.Which country faces the lowest diabetes-pollution risk?
A.India. B.Finland. C.The US. D.Guyana.
15.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Current pollution control levels need to be tightened
B.Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases globally
C.Air pollution contributes significantly to diabetes globally
D.Poverty-stricken countries face a higher diabetes-pollution risk
