This article is for all of the teenagers out there. Even though

___21___

you are years from being fully grown,

society regularly expects you to adult. Yes, you are

___22___

in many ways: many of you drive and do so quite

safely, and you handle schedules that would

___23___

many adults. But you probably cannot process

caffeine

(

咖

啡因

) as constantly as your parents can because of your still

-

growing bodies and brains.

I understand it feels grown

-

up to be drinking a cup of Starbucks. But all of this caffeine may worsen your

anxiety, affect tonight’s sleep and tomorrow’s school performance,

___24___

nutrient absorption and even cause

real trouble when mixed with alcohol. The following four aspects may well

___25___

the theme of this article.

The power of caffeine

Caffeine is widely considered a drug that is socially acceptable, universally used, even cool, but it still causes

___26___

symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and a lack of attention when removed from coffee

-

addicts’ diets.

How much is healthy?

Caffeine is by no means a nutrient; you do not need it to be healthy.

___27___

, it is a substance that can leave

you lacking nutrients because it has been shown to reduce

calcium

(

钙

). Caffeine probably causes the body to

release water. And the more caffeinated drinks you consume, the less likely you are to drink water. So experts say

that adolescents should consume

___28___

amounts of caffeine a day (≤100 mg).

Caffeine’s

___29___

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of middle and higher schoolers

are

attributed to

(

归因

于

) caffeine, which can remain in the body for seven hours after

___31___

___32___

proper growth and brain development. During

childhood and adolescence, the brain goes through a period called

synaptic pruning

(

突触修剪

) when unnecessary

connections are promoted.

Caffeine labelling

Caffeine is not listed on the Nutrition Facts column on food labels because it is not a

___33___

as an ingredient, but the amount is not required. Caffeine is now added to foods such as gum, candy and water, along

with makeup and beauty products that

___34___

to reduce

swelling

(

肿块

).

Taste preferences and eating habits are often cultivated in childhood and adolescence, so teens, when you

consume sweet, caffeinated drinks every time you feel

sluggish

(

无精打采的

be hard to break as an adult. It is advisable to come up with other

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A Cloze: (1*15=15)

Sometimes modern problems require ancient solutions.

A 1,400

-

< br>year

-

old Peruvian method of diverting water could supply up to 40,000 Olympic

-

size swimming

pool’s worth of water to Lima each year. It is one

___61___

of how ancient methods could support existing modern

ones in countries without enough water. Man

-

made reservoirs store rainwater and water overflow for use during

dries times. But reservoirs are costly, require years to plan and can still

____62____

to meet water needs.

Peru’s capital, Lima, depends on water from rivers high in the Andes Mountains. It takes only a few days for

water to flow down to the city. So when the dry season begins in the mountains, the water supply quickly disappears.

The city

___63___

this with modern structures such as man

-

made reservoirs. These reservoirs are not the only

solution,

____64____

. Over a thousand years ago, indigenous people developed another way to solve water

problems.

Water diverted,

____65____

.

The 1,400

-

year

-

old system is designed to increase the water supply during the dry season by diverting and

slowing water as it travels down the mountains. This

____66____

-

based method is made of special canals that guide

water from its source to a series of water bodies and hillsides. The water goes

____67____

into the ground, then

flows downhill through the soil and

___68___

in water bodies near the community.

3

Its aim was to increase the water’s travel time from days to months in order to provide water throughout the day

season. The researchers

____69____

how much the system slowed the flow of water by injecting special dye in the

highlands and noting when it reappeared in water bodies. The dyed water started to

______70______

two weeks

later and continued flowing for eight months — a huge

______71______

over the hours or days it would normally

take.

______72______

increase in supply.

The researchers next considered how using a larger version of the system could help Lima. They combined

what they learned in Huamantanga with the knowledge of physical

______73______

of Lima’s surroundings. The

resulting estimates say the system could increase Lima’s dry

-

season water supply by 7.5 percent overall and up to 33

percent at the start of the dry season.

The system is also

______74______

sound. Ochoa

-

Tocachi, a researcher, estimated that building canals

similar to those in Huamantanga would cost 10 times less than building a reservoir of the same size. He also said

former highland societies in other parts of the world had methods for diverting and slowing water flow. And, they

could use these methods today to support their
