   ①It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

   ②One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data (数据) from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1. 37 tons of bananas per hectare (公顷) .

   ③However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world5s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

    ④Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it*s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 "C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

    ⑤Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (茎段) rather than seeds (系中子) . This means that all banana plants have the same genotype. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

   ⑥One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.

A、In the last few years, the average yield of bananas has increased. B、Panama has killed all the bananas in some areas like South Asia. C、The higher the temperature is, the better bananas will grow. D、Bananas grow from shoot cuttings instead of seeds.
(3)、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A、The difficulties of growing bananas. B、The perfect conditions of growing bananas. C、The reasons for the disappearance of bananas. D、The advice for growing bananas.

     If you like to check your smartphone from time to time, you are not alone. In fact, using apps(应用程序)has now become part of everyday life.

Changba

      Changba, which has been described as "the best mobile karaoke for sound", allows you to sing along to over 2,000 songs. You can also share your KTV recordings with friends on social media sites such as Weibo, Wechat, Qzone, etc. The app allows users to create a photo show to go with their songs and comment on other people's songs. Changba can even filter the sound. For example, it can make cat noises sound like a beautiful chorus(合唱).

Moment Cam

     Moment Cam brings you some of the most useful features a camera app can have, such as adjusting the flash(调整闪光灯),continuous shots, adjusting the timer, and choosing different sizes for photo-sharing sites. But what sets the app apart from all the others is the choice of simple mini-buttons that you hardly notice are there.

Carrot

     Carrot, a to-do list app, is a task manager with a personality, When you succeed in finishing your tasks, for example, Carrot praises you with a message such as "Way to go. Soon you'll be completing other people's to-do lists".But if you fail to perform your tasks, Carrot might say, "I'm angered at your behavior." And it may change its background from white to black to show how angry it is. So, if you need an extra push to finish your tasks, give Carrot a try.

  Turns out,you're not just what you eat—you're also where you eat.

  Researchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.

    The researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens,under the guise of (以……为幌子)asking them to wait for someone.Half of the women stood in a messy kitchen,with piles of newspapers,dirty dishes and a ringing phone.The other half of the women waited in a clean kitchen.

    Both kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrots.Each woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchen.

    Why did this happen?

    “Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,''Lenny Vartanian,one of the researchers,said.“It seems to lead people to think,‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn't I be?'''

    The study's size was small,but the findings prove something we know all too well:Stress(压力)is bad for you.Stress often causes people to overeat.Beyond weight gain,too much stress can also increase a person's heart rate,and lead to painful conditions like headaches.

    While there are many ways to manage stress.including listening to music and exercising,this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm.The next time you don't want to tidy up the kitchen,remember that the exercise will help you a lot in so many ways.

    Can we "design" a baby like we design a handbag? It may sound crazy, but a "designer baby" could be possible now. Of course, at the same time, there are both agreements and disagreements with it.

    The "designer baby" idea comes from the research that allows scientists to make changes to human DNA and genes (基因). Usually, it is done when the baby is still just an embryo (胚胎). By doing that, scientists hope that "designer babies" will less possibly be born with some certain serious illnesses.

    During the 21st century, the idea became so popular that the research developed very quickly. Now, it has been firstly used to help born babies with their illnesses. One example of this is that Dr. Adrian Thrasher of University College London was able to save a 1-year-old child from leukemia (白血病) with the help of it. People learned that it was not only illnesses they could change, but also a baby's gender and looks. A well-known event happened in 1996. An American couple, Monique and Scott Collins, decided to use this research to help them choose the gender of their next baby. They wanted to have a baby girl for they have had three sons. Moreover, people could also decide babies' eye color, hair color and even things like height or how sportive babies will be.

    Some people argue that it is not ethical (道德的)to design babies like designing a bag. It is strongly against the nature's rules. Besides, it may not have any bad influence on the baby now, yet no one knows what will happen to him and his children after many years.
