After spending eight years living in Dublin, Ireland, I moved back to the US. I knew that moving back would mean some sort of reverse （相反的） culture shock. While I anticipated （预料） the big changes—like less paid time off—it was the little things that really stuck out.

Sure, there're great supermarkets in Europe, but without a car, I rarely made it to one and in stead stuck to shopping at small grocery stores near my house. When I moved back to the US, I was surprised by the variety of foods in supermarkets. The whole shopping process took longer because I had so many choices.

The first house I rented in Ireland had three bedrooms and one tiny fridge. It took a while to get used to sharing a mini-fridge with four roommates. Soon I learned that this was fairly standard in most homes. It didn't take long to actually prefer the smaller fridge. This encouraged less waste and more frequent shopping for fresh foods. When I first moved back to the US, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had my very own giant “American” fridge all to myself.

It's relatively inexpensive and easy to visit other countries in Europe, thanks to budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. The freedom of movement for citizens of the European Union meant that I ended up having friends from all over the continent. While there're flight deals in America, the budget options are limited. Most of my quick trips now are within the US. Though staying in the same country is a change, it has been interesting getting to explore new states.

And just to make it clear: This is only based on my own experience living in Dublin and then moving back to New York City. Europe is a big place, and it would be impossible to make sweeping statements about a whole continent.

4. What happened to the author eight years ago?

A. She was stuck in a low-paid job.

B. She moved away from New York City.

C. She experienced reverse culture shock.

D. She realized the great influence of little things.

5. Why did the author shop at grocery stores while living in Europe?

A. She lacked easy access to supermarkets.

B. It took her less time to shop at grocery stores.

C. Her small fridge couldn't hold many foods.

D. Those grocery stores provided various foods.

6. What does the author think of using a small fridge?

A. It's inconvenient.

B. It's a waste of money.

C. It's an American way of life.

D. It's environmentally friendly.

7. What did the author use to do when she lived in Dublin?

A. Seek inexpensive trips to America.

B. Visit other European countries by air.

C. Make the best of limited budget options.

D. Explore different states in the same country.

Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That's because their new glass will offer more than an astonishing view of the mountains and blue skies. It will also fold up as solar panels, able to power the company's lights and air conditioners.

Ubiquitous' energy-generating glass is a great achievement. “Instead of electricity being sent to different points in a display to light them up, light is generating electricity to be sent out of different points in the window,” says Veeral Hardev, the director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy.

Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity as the typical solar cells used in roof panels, and they're about half as transparent （透明的） as ordinary glass. But those features are already enough to make the windows a practical product, and the company will improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, Hardev notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof.

The biggest challenge, he adds, is scaling up the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.

“Bright sun can help heat a room, but people don't like working in full sunlight, and may not even be able to see their computer screens,” says Michael McGehee, a materials science researcher.

“They usually end up putting the blinds（百叶窗） down, losing all the benefits of sunlight.”

To keep the sunlight while losing the glare, McGehee's group has been working on improvements to windows. Their goal is a window that can darken at the press of a switch to remove the worst of the glare, while letting just the right amount of sunlight through for comfort.

If these projects turn out successful, such green windows could be an important part of smart cities in another decade or two. That would be a step towards reducing human's carbon footprint to zero.

8. What is Ubiquitous Energy making efforts to do with its conference room?

A. To line up its windows.

B. To get a better view of the city.

C. To make wide use of solar power.

D. To equip it with new air conditioners.

9. Which of the following is an advantage of Ubiquitous Energy's new glass?

A. Allowing more light into the room.

B. Producing more energy than roof panels.

C. Being more transparent than ordinary glass.

D. Providing a green way of harvesting energy.

10. What does the underlined word “glare” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A. Bright unpleasant light.

B. A long angry look.

C. Special attention.

D. Intense heat.

11. Under which condition will McGehee's dream window become dark?

A. When it meets strong sunlight.

B. When it absorbs enough energy.

C. When someone pushes a switch.

D. When someone presses it by hand.

D

Obesity（肥胖） is the single greatest cause of early deaths after smoking. It results in more years of unhealthy life, diminishing the quality of life. It also increases many physical and mental health issues, from heart disease to diabetes （糖尿病） to cancer and depression.

Recently, childhood obesity has become the greatest cause for concern. For children in year six obesity rates have increased at a significant pace—around 5% a year for the past decade. So that now one in three children are obese by the time they leave primary school. The rate of childhood mental illness is accelerating and is both a cause and a symptom of the obesity crisis.

Obesity is one of the most complex public health challenges that we face. It does not have a single cause. The reasons for it are wide-ranging. But above all, it is a social challenge. It is about education and social norms for eating and exercise. It is about how food companies formulate their products, how they are labelled and advertised, and how they are priced and displayed in shops. Work and school play a crucial role: more and more jobs are sedentary （需要久坐的） and kids are less and less likely to expend energy playing outdoors. The quality of our public spaces and transport systems makes an important difference too.

We argue for fresh thinking to challenge the assumption that issues like obesity are a “disease of the will” and to encourage more support for people to make healthier choices. Local authorities should be given new powers to stop fast-food outlets opening near schools, to prevent them from selling high-calorie products to school children, and to ban junk food advertising near the school gates.

We must remember that unhealthy behaviour today is costly tomorrow. Now is the time for more action and more investment—the quality and length of our children's lives depend on it.

12. What happens to children when they finish primary school?

A. Their life quality declines. B. Childhood mental illness increases.

C. More than 30% of children are obese. D. More children suffer from heart disease.

13. What does the author say about the cause of obesity?

A. It is a disease of the will. B. It concerns many social fields.

C. It is a complicated social problem. D. It challenges people's quality of life.

14. What should food companies do to prevent childhood obesity?

A. Do more advertising.

B. Sell priced products.

C. Offer labelled products.

D. Provide products with better formulation.

15. What should the government do to control children obesity?

A. Ban the selling of unhealthy foods around schools.

B. Prevent the opening of fast-food stores.

C. Develop the public transportation.

D. Give more power to school.
