16、ts countless bridges.BTheres a lot of losing in sports. Only one team can win at a time, and only one champion escapes the season without tears. But that doesnt stop Americans from spending nearly $56 billion a year on sporting events. Is fandom (运动迷） worth it?At first glance, the evidence isnt enco
17、uraging. Following a loss, fans are more likely than usual to eat unhealthy food, be unproductive at work, and in the case of the Super Bowl - die from heart disease. What about fans of the winning team? Well, they are more likely than other fans to suffer a postgame traffic fatality(死亡）if the score
18、 was close.Rival(竞争的）fans treatment of one another is hardly more encouraging. A recent study found that fans experienced greater pleasure when watching a rival team fail,as opposed to non-rivals. Fans in another study reported schadenfreude, a feeling of satisfaction, when reading about the injury
19、of a rival teams player, and gluckschmerz or unhappiness when later reading about the player s unexpectedly speedy recovery.Yet a great deal of research shows that being a fan can also have positive effects. It can prevent depression and build a sense of belonging and self-worth - provided the objec
20、t of ones devotion is a local team. Much of this is due to social bonds among fans, but not all - sports worship also provides fans with a number of skills at dealing with lifes emotional challenges. A landmark 1976 study found that after a win, fans were more likely than usual to wear clothes conne
21、cted to the winning team, and to claim credit for the teams success by describing the team as “we” instead of “they ”in conversation.Along with schadenfreude and gluckschmerz, being a fan seems more than anything else to be a matter of managing responses to things one cant control. Sports fans tend

25、the rainforests, or helping pandas to produce young, linguistic ecology might not seem very exciting. One language is becoming extinct every fortnight so what? “Why should we care?” is a common reaction. Here are a few reasons why you should.Identity: Many speakers of minority languages are fiercely
26、 proud of their language. Language forms an important part of anyones identity, Nerys Jenkins in Belfast says, “Telling me not to speak Welsh would be like telling me not to breathe: I just couldnt do it.” To let someones language die out is to let part of their identity die too.Culture: Language is
27、 connected with cultureif a nation loses a language, it may also lose its links with a tradition of jokes, music and literature. Elizabeth MacDonald from Arisaig says Scottish Gaelic is “ our language, the most important part of an ancient culture which has somehow survived despite many persecutions
28、(迫害）over the centuries. It is a culture rich in story, song and poetry, beloved of those familiar with it.” Knowledge: Languages harbor all kinds of human knowledge including useful biological or medical information that we might not find out about otherwise. In the Micmac language, for example, tre
29、es are named after the sound they make in the wind. The names change as the sounds change ,so ,if an elderly Micmac speaker remembers that a certain kind of tree used to have one name, but is now called something else ,this can show the effects of acid rain on that species. Lose Micmac and you will
30、lose that understanding.Of the 6,000 or so languages in the world, more than half are expected to die within the next century, and many more are disappearing. Its estimated that two languages die out every month, Its easy to think of dying and extinct languages as just facts and figures , but behind
31、 every one, there are real people. The online Ethnologue database, for example, says of one Syrian language:The last speaker died in 1998. His daughter knows Mlahs well, but is nearly deaf and has no one to speak it to.”28. What do Nerys Jenkins s words suggest?A. Hell die if not allowed to speak We
32、lsh. B. He cant find his identity in Wales.C. He doesnt know other languages. D. He takes pride in his language.29. What do we know about language from Paragraph 3?A. It builds a nations spirit. B. It keeps people in touch with the classics.C. It forms a nations tradition. D. It connects people from
33、 different nations.30. What do the tree name changes imply?A. Languages develop very fast. B. The air pollution is getting worse.C. The number of Micmac speakers is dropping. D. People of different ages speak different languages.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Languages are disappea
34、ring at a surprising speed. B. Languages die with the disappearance of facts.C. The extinction of languages matters little. D. Mlahs is no longer in existence.DWhen Kristin Peck became CEO of Zoetis in January, the animal health company was growing rapidly, thanks in part to steady growth in spendin
35、g on pets. Just a few weeks later, coronavirus lockdowns turned the global economy upside down. But they also got Americans to adopt pets in record numbers, enabling Zoetis and Peck to face their first big crisis with what you might call a tailwind.Zoetis, which makes medicines and other products, w
36、as removed from Pfizer in 2013 and joined the Fortune 500 in 2019. (It s now. No. 472.) Its the market-share leader in “companion” animal health, with 22% of the market, and in several livestock (家畜) categories too. With the coronavirus doing only minor damage so far to commercial livestock or pet s
37、pending, Zoetiss business has held up relatively well. The company s stock is down roughly 5% this year, while the S&P 500 has fallen more than 9%.The drug-maker has an “incredibly diversified business,” says James Tierney, chief investment officer of concentrated U.S. growth at AllianceBernstein. I
38、ts portfolio (产品组合） is split roughly 50/50 between companion and livestock, with about the same split between U.S. and international sales. And unlike many human drug companies, notes Tierney, it isnt dependent on blockbuster drugs (畅销药）.Zoetis s best-selling product, dog itch medication Apoquel, ge
39、nerated less than 10% of its total sales of 6.3 billion in 2019. Another promising product is a new combination of flea, tick, and heartworm medicine for dogs, Simparica Trio - currently the only such combo (组合套餐) product available in the U.S.Peck, who grew up around animals (“We had horses, four do
40、gs, two cats, birds,” she recalls), was an executive at Pfizer before joining Zoetis. Shes adjusting to the new reality in part by putting more effort into advertising for pet products and building veterinary telemedicine partnerships. Peck says the new pet owners of the coronavirus period “engage d
41、ifferently”： Theyre largely digital-first people, she says, and are more likely to heavily research products before buying.Like pet spending itself, Zoetis isnt entirely recession-proof, and the company recently lowered its growth forecasts for the year. Its livestock business faes short-term challe
42、nges, especially in beef and dairy, where supply-chain problems have caused hardships. But Peck says she doubts the coronavirus will affect the long-term trend toward eating more protein. And if difficult times lead consumers to focus on cheaper meats, Zoetis could benefit from products like Zoamix,
43、 an additive that takes the place of antibiotics (抗生素） in chicken feed - one more example of diversification feathering the company s nest.32.How was Zoetis s business going this January?A. It was disappointing. B. It was developing very fast.C. It turned Zoetis upside down. D. It enabled Zoetis to
44、join the Fortune 500.33. Why does the author mention Apoquel in Paragraph 3?A. To stress it is a blockbuster. B.To explain its contribution to Zoetis.C. To uncover the reason for its unsatisfactory sales. D. To reveal Zoetis s profits are from various sources.34.Why does Peck consider the new pet ow
