五、阅读理解
When you hear “give me five”, don’t look for five yuan in your pocket! It will make others laugh! The person’s not asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the US, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍) of each other’s raised right hands together.
People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.
This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the king. This showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.
Why not try to give the high five to your friends

Not all fat is created the same, according to several new studies. We all know there’s good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too. Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”.
Brown fat, mainly found in the neck and shoulders of newborns, has the ability to burn lots of calories, which can keep them warm. It makes up about 5 percent of a baby’s total weight. We lose most of our brown fat as we grow up. By the age of six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with; the fat we get over time is almost all white fat.
Researchers now believe that some people keep brown fat until adulthood. Brown fat—the “good” kind can burn excess energy better to make heat. But white fat—considered the “bad” kind—is a way for your body to keep excess energy and take more calories than you use. It is bad for the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, and causes other health problems.
Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could let brown fat help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found ways that may help people get brown fat without the need for cold. You build fat from the foods you eat. As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing food rich in iron can keep you healthy. Nutrition is very important for your health, especially if you want to increase brown fat.
One main reason of the growth in illnesses is the increasing level of white fat. Though changing white fat into brown fat is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as they are like babies. We should try our best to keep brown fat forever instead of having to recreate it.
37．Who has the most brown fat among the four persons
A．A teenage girl. B．A college student. C．A new-born baby. D．An elderly teacher.
38．How is brown fat different from white fat
A．It can cause health problems. B．It burns calories in a better way.
C．It is found in the neck and shoulders. D．It keeps excess energy in the human body.
39．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Ways of increasing the number of brown fat.
B．The advantages of the brown fat.
C．The importance of nutrition in brown fat production.
D．The temperature in increasing the brown fat.
40．What do scientists expect to work for
A．How to recreate more brown fat. B．How to turn white fat into brown fat.
C．How to make the danger of white fat less. D．How to keep brown fat.
六、完形填空
Scientists think that there 41 life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets 42 .

There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.
