I’ d planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦)．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they’ d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal-black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原谅) the crows．

To be honest，I’ ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They’ re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they’ d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can’ t do any gardening out there．But I’ m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It’ s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．

Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters．

Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily．

“Being thin doesn’ t surely mean you are not fat，”said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have tested nearly 800 people with MRI to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat．

According to the result，people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat

rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits (堆积物) of inside fat，even if they are thin．

Even people with normal Body Mass Index (体重指数) scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of inside fat．Men were nearly 60 percent．

According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病)．They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body’ s communication systems． The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits．“If you want to be healthy，there is no other way．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，”Bell said．

B．People can reduce inside fat by improving their eating habits． C．Women have more chances to have too much inside fat． D．Not all the people who look thin are really thin inside．

46. What is this piece of news mainly about?

A．Thin people may be fat inside． B．How to deal with inside fat． C．Inside fat leads to many diseases． D．Thin people also have troubles．

47．What does the underlined word “organs”in the second paragraph mean?

A．地位 C．器官

48．Doctors have found

．

B．地方 D．肝脏

A．the exact dangers of inside fat

B．being thin doesn’ t mean you are not fat inside C．being thin is not dangerous at all

D．inside fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetes 49．According to the passage，which of the following is wrong?

A．Exercise can help to reduce the inside fat．

50．From the last paragraph，we can find that ．

51．According to Murphy’ s Law，in an English class，if you don’ t want A．it is true that inside fat can lead to disease

to be questioned by the teacher，you may end up failing answering the B．exercise plays an important role in people’ s life for keeping questions．

healthy

C．thin people usually have inside fat even if they are thin D．it is easier to burn off inside fat than outside fat

D

Sometimes，when you worry that you may fail an exam，you end up failing．Or during a seating arrangement (安排) in your class，when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don’ t like，you end up sharing the desk with him or her．

This is what Murphy’ s Law tells us: If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true?

Of the studies about Murphy’ s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast (烤面包片)

phenomenon (现象): One toast with butter falls，it lands butter-side down most of the time．

To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1,000 British school kids in 2001．

In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off

20 times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10,000 experiments，toast landed butter-side down 62 percent of the time．

But you may ask: Is it the butter that plays a role? Here comes Matthews’ second experiment．

This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter “B” written on one side．It still landed 58

percent of the time on the B-side．

This proved that Murphy’ s Law is true: If the toast can land butter-side down，it will do so．

Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5 metres，the toast landed butter-side down only 47 percent of the time．

“Toast lands butter-side down because humans aren’ t tall enough to let it land any other way，” Matthews said． 根据上文内容判断正 (T) 误(F)
