Since your spine is so central to health, its important to take care of it.Staying in a good position is one of the most important things you
17、 can do to keep your spine healthy. A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when youre asleep. Stomach sleeping is far from a good idea. Many people prefer sleeping on their side, which is in the
18、interests of their spine. Sleeping on your back has lots of benefits yet can cause lower back pain and put some pressure on your spine.Staying still for too long even if your position is good can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a task most of the day, its important to get up and stre
19、tch (伸展) periodically. Therefore, exercise is also a key part in the health of your spine. Stretches can help the muscles (肌肉) around your spine relax. Strength exercises with light weights or body weight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles. However, dont overdo the exe
20、rcise, as repeated movements can hurt the muscles around the spine, as trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique.Your diet also affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, vitamin B and omega3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy.
21、Another important part is vitamin D, which is required for strong bones. Vitamin D can come from some foods, but its also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside. At last, many of the actions necessary to keep a spine healthy are similar to those used to protect your heal

You wait for the alarm to sound; when it does, you go and fight fires. However, what if there is an algorithm(计算程序) that can take the guesswork out of f
25、ire prevention? For more than a year, the Fire Department of New York(FDNY) has been doing just that. Using a data tool called FireCast 2.0, it has been prioritizing(排序) which ones of the hundreds of thousands of buildings in the city are at the highest risk of having a fire. The software applies an
26、 algorithm from five city agencies, taking into account as many as 20 different risk factors.It wasnt that long ago, in fact, that even a fire department as sophisticated(配备精良) as FDNY was keeping track of buildings in card catalogues in local fire houses. Each structure would have its own card with
27、 basic information on itwhen it was built, construction materialsand from that, company commanders were expected to determine which buildings were to be inspected(检查). Building inspections were a key part of fire prevention in cities like New York, and that, as you might suspect, wasnt a very effici
28、ent way to handle them. Usually, the FDNY struggled to meet its annual goal of inspecting 10 percent of the 330,000 buildings in the city for which it was responsible. But FireCast 2.0 has already simplified that process, allowing the department to more accurately target the most fireprone buildings
29、, many of which havent been inspected for years.The FDNY is pleased with the big advance it has made in whats known as “smart firefighting”， but its only a first step. Later this year, the department is expected to upgrade to FireCast 3.0, an even more powerful tool that will analyze three years dat
30、a from 17 different city agencies for every one of the 330,000 buildings. Each will be given a fire risk score. But that list will be updated dailyif a building receives a trash violation, for instance, its score may rise on the next days list. Compiling(汇集) the data from all those buildings will ta
31、ke only 90 minutes, according to a report from the National Fire Protection Association.A very different approach to the future of firefighting was unveiled(揭露) recently by the US. Office of Naval Research. Its a 18pound robot named SAFFIR, and it was designed by engineers at Virginia Tech to put ou
32、t fires where theyre most dangerous. During a recent test, SAFFIR was able to find fire through thick smoke and extinguish(扑灭) the flames. Maybe more impressively, it displayed its sea legs, able to stay upright on a rolling ship. That, according to SAFFIRs designers, may have been their biggest cha
33、llenge.SAFFIR still struggles to navigate(穿过) doorways and stairwells. In the test, in fact, its movements were controlled by a human. While it will likely be paired with a human for some time, SAFFIR may eventually be able to move and make decisions on its own.28. According to the passage, whats th
34、e main function of FireCast 2.0?A. To make the alarm sound for a longer time.B. To reduce firefighters chances of being injured.C. To prevent the fire from spreading further.D. To predict places that are more likely to catch fire.29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The FDNY doesnt keep track o

The FDNY gets its staffs workload reduced by using FireCast 2.0.30. According to the passage, FireCast 3.0 _.A. can analyze mo

According to the passage, SAFFIR _.A. is able to make decisions on its ownB. is not ready to be brought
37、into useC. was originally designed to be used on shipsD. is mainly used to lead the way for firefightersDI grew up eating eggs from white shells; I didnt know they could be any other color.Our eggs came from the grocery store in styrofoam packaging, and the eggs in the refrigerators at all my friend
38、s houses were exactly the same. Life in the 1970s and 1980s meant no farmers markets, no trips to farms and no concept of food variety.When I began buying my eggs at the farmers market, things changed. The eggs were brown and usually in paperboard cartons or Styrofoam cartons that were clearly being
39、 reused.I know Im not the only one who had that experience with eggs, so its no wonder that many people assume brown eggs are more nutritious(有营养的). If were working off the assumption that all white eggs at the grocery store come from big factory farms and that all brown eggs come from local farmers
40、 who raise freerange(放养的) chickens. sure. Brown is better.But is that true?Eggshell color is determined by the breed(品种) of the hen, not by the conditions in which the chicken is raised. Generally speaking, you can tell whether eggs will be white by looking at a hens earlobes, the colored skin on th
41、e side of the head. Hens with white earlobes generally lay white eggs. Hens with brown or reddish earlobes generally lay eggs that are brown, or sometimes light green, blue or a speckled creamy color, according to Michigan State University Extension.No one breed of hen, however, is proven to lay a m
42、ore nutritious egg than another, despite the color of the eggshell. Not all eggs are created equal because not all hens are raised the same way.A test done by Mother Earth News on eggs taken from 14 flocks around the country whose hens were allowed frequent access to fresh pasture, land covered with
43、 grass, found that true freerange eggs were nutritionally superior to eggs sold in grocery stores.“True” freerange means just that eggs from the grocery store that are marketed as free range do not necessarily come from hens that have spent their days wandering the barnyard, getting fresh air and ea
44、ting a natural diet. When “Freerange” is on an egg carton, it means that the chickens can move around their building and have access to the outdoors “during their production cycle”But access doesnt guarantee time outside. Theres no regulation that says getting to that door has to be easy, how big th
45、e outdoor area must be, or that a chicken ever has to get outside. A chicken in a crowded henhouse may never get to the door, and if it manages to go through it, it may find theres no room for it in the small area outside.Thats why its so hard to determine if freerange eggs at the store come from tr
46、uly freerange chickens. At a farm or farmers market, you can ask about the conditions that the hens are raised in before you buy.Another factor in the nutrition of an egg is the hens diet. Although chickens are not vegetarians(素食者) by naturebugs and worms are part of their natural dietsConsumer Repo
47、rts tested grocery store eggs and found that “hens fed vegetarian diets tended to have more of certain vitamins and omega3s than those from hens fed a conventional diet”So when youre choosing eggs and aiming for nutrition, dont judge an egg by its shell color. White eggs can be just as nutritious as
48、 brown eggs. Hens that are kept in conditions that are natural to themwith access to the outdoors, sunlight and exerciseand fed a good diet are what youre looking for. To find them, youll need to ask some questions and, perhaps, pay a little more, because raising hens in pastures costs more than rai

It is implied in the passage that nowadays _.A. true
50、freerange chickens can no longer be found anywhereB. socalled freerange hens remain in henhouses all day longC. the word “freerange” is only used as a means of cheatingD. the definition of “freerange” can sometimes be ambiguous34. We can learn from the passage that _.A. nutritional value of eggs dep
