17、)sound recordings the way other people collect souvenirs.Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food,I started doing this as an artistic way to help me remembersome of the most interesting details of my trips.Environmental scientist Lauren Kuehne said,“I think that once you start

20、 and therefore recreate the feelings you had,(29)_ are very hard to express clearly.You can re-experience that and that will send you to where you were before.”Months later back in my L.A.home,I find myself popping on my headphones and listening back to the rush of fallingwater inside Cave of the Fa

23、wanted pounds.Unquestionably,aiming to be more active is good.But if the main reason is to lose weight,your NewYears resolution could very well _31_.For starters,exercise-at least the kind most of us do-is _32_ ineffective for weight loss.Take walking,forexample.A 150-pound person who walks briskly
24、for 30 minutes will burn,on average,around 140 calories.Thats equal toone can of soda-not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort.Its much easier just to skip the soda.Studies _33_ show that doing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking for 30 minutes a day,five days
25、a week-the amount recommended for good health-typically produces little or no weight loss by itself.When moderate exercise is added to diet,the results are equally not _34_.Pooling data from six trials,researchersfound that a combination of diet and exercise generated no greater weight loss than die
26、t alone after six months.In studies where exercise has produced _35_ weight loss,participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories persession on five or more days a week.To achieve that,sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able todo.And even if we manage to exert that much e

28、 to do extra exercise”after eating too much during theholidays or at a celebratory dinner?The point is that were more likely to _38_ exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-beingrather than our weight.The incentive may be an improved mood or less stress.Others may find that
29、exercise makes themfeel physically and mentally stronger.Of course,the benefits of physical activity _39_ well beyond these.Its been shown to reduce the risk of multiplediseases.It can also improve sleep and boost energy.By all means,striving to exercise regularly in the new year is perhaps the most
30、 important thing you can do for yourhealth.But to improve the odds of success,focus on how movement helps you feel better physically and emotionally-andforget about how it moves the _40_ on the scale.III.Reading Comprehension(45分分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are

33、gning for _43_ screening of newborns for hearing loss.Their _44_ has registered in some powerful ears.To date,22 states have passed legislation requiring at leastpartial screening programs.Part of the push stems from _45_ in technology that,among other things,allow children asyoung as two months to
34、be _46_ hearing aids.But there are limits to the technology.One thing parents should realizebefore they start is that the screening tests are far from _47_.Abad result doesnt necessarily indicate a problem.Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss
35、.Of those three infants,one is profoundly deaf.About half the time,doctors can identify a possible cause,such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds,or a family history of _48_.The rest of the time there is simply no _49_ as to why a newborns hearing may havebeen affected.The screening tests work by i
36、ntroducing a sound into a babys ear and then measuring either the _50_ of the earsinternal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain(the auditory brain-stem response test).Justbecause a baby fails either test,_51_,does not mean that there is a hearing problem.A tempo
37、rary buildup of fluid inthe ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can _52_ the results.For this reason,experts say,hospitals should_53_ the screening tests for any baby who doesnt pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologistfor more thorough testing.It is at this st
38、age that things get a bit _54_.Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen,most proveon further examination to be just fine.Is it worth _55_ 17 families of perfectly normal children-not to mention askingthem to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests-to identify three infants wi
