Millions of people have used commercial DNA tests to trace their family trees.For a few lucky folks,the results have been life-changing,introducing them to relatives they had lost long ago---or never knew existed.

Lifelong friends Alan Robinson and Walter Macfarlane took the DNA tests.The results showed they were related.Walter Macfarlane,76,and Alan Robinson,74,have been friends for more than60years.They grew up a few miles away from each other in Honolulu and met in the sixth grade.They played high school football together.

It came about,as so often happens,by accident.Walter knew that he had a complicated family tree.His mother had been young and unmarried when she gave birth to him during World War II,and because she couldn’t raise him on her own,the family pretended that his grandmother was his mother and his mother left.Walter didn’t learn the truth until he graduated from high school.But he still didn’t know who his father was.

So in2016,when commercial DNA-testing kits were starting to take off,Walter logged on to https://www.wendangku.net/doc/619162860.html, to check the results.He saw that a user named Robby737and he himself shared enough DNA to be half siblings(半胞胎).Suddenly,his wife immediately thought of Walter’s friend,Uncle Alan,whose nickname was Robby,and he used to fly737s for Aloha Airlines.

After the confirming phone call,the men compared their test results https://www.wendangku.net/doc/619162860.html, and found that they shared several identical Y chromosomes.According to investigation they had the same father.

A new study focuses on K2-18b,an exoplanet(系外行星)discovered in2015,orbits a red dwarf star close enough to receive about the same amount of radiation from its star as Earth does from our sun.

Previously,scientists have discovered gas giants that have water in their atmospheres,but this is the least giant planet ever to have water detected in its atmosphere.“The water detection was quite clear to us relatively early on,”lead author Bjorn Benneke,a professor at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets at the Universite de Montreal,told https://www.wendangku.net/doc/619162860.html, in an interview.

Studies have suggested that planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could host certain forms of life, Benneke said.However,K2-18b's large atmosphere is extremely thick and creates high-pressure conditions, which“likely prevents life as we know it from existing on the planet’s surface,”a news release reads.While these researchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18b,because of its lack of surface,rain wouldn’t pool on the planet.Without a real surface,so to speak,landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible, especially because the gas is so thick and has such an incredibly high pressure that any Earth-created spacecraft sent there would be destroyed.

Benneke suggests that,possibly,this planet formed by rock absorbing large amounts of gas,“like a vacuum cleaner”,he said.This gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and increased its volume eightfold.

To come to these conclusions,the research team analyzed data from Hubble Space Telescope observations that they made between2016and2017of the K2-18b planet passing in front of its star eight times.This type of research,Benneke said,is leading toward a final goal of“being able to study real,true earth-like planets”.“We are not quite there yet,”he said,“but this is really exciting.”

28.Why is it impossible to land on the K2-18b?

A.It has too much water.

B.It is too hot to get close.

C.It is too far from the earth.

D.It doesn't have a real surface.

29.How does K2-18b expand according to Benneke?

A.By releasing gas itself.

B.By receiving radiation from the sun.

C.By taking in much gas by rocks.

D.By getting away from the red dwarf star.

30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Scientists have succeeded in exploring K2-18b completely.

B.It is impossible for humans to land on other earth-like planets.

C.Scientists are making progress in studying real earth-like planets

D.The K2-18b planet has passed before its star eight times between2016and2017.

31.What is the text mainly about?

A.The research on the K2-18b planet.

B.The solar system’s environment.

C.The discovery of the K2-18b planet.

D.The exploration of the outer space.

Can snacking be a key element in a healthy lifestyle?If your first response was"No!",here's a chance to

update your opinions.Some of us were raised with the advice to“never eat between meals”,which makes sense in protecting our teeth from sweets.Yet there can be significant advantages to snacking on healthy foods. Researchers have found that eating frequent mini-meals offers health benefits.Dr.David Jenkins and colleagues at the University of Toronto have reported some remarkable advantages.

In one study,participants were randomly divided into two groups and both groups were given the same types and amounts of food over a two-week period.One group consumed three meals a day.For those on“Nibbling Diet”,food was divided into17mini-meals a day.After two weeks,the Nibblers had reduced their blood cholesterol(胆固醇)levels by more than15percent.Cortisol,a stress indicator,was reduced by17percent. Average serum insulin(血清胰岛素)levels of Nibblers were reduced by28percent.With less insulin,the body is less likely to convert the load of calories into body fat.

Also,you may think eating concentrated sources of fat or sugar(or both)will pack the weight onto your body.However,see below for some examples of healthy sacks:

Nuts are high in fat so keep portions moderate.

However,the fat comes packaged with a wealth of minerals and protective substances.For growing youngsters,high-energy adults,athletes and those who have difficulty maintaining their weight,nuts are a great solution.

Dried fruits(raisins,currants,apricots)help you stock up on iron.If you tend to get cold in winter,keep raisins handy.When your blood sugar drops,you'll have an instant remedy(补救).Fresh fruit is also great choice.

32.Why does the author propose a question at the beginning of the passage?

A.To raise the readers'awareness of refusing snacks.

B.To arouse the readers'interest to lead to the topic.

C.To show the significance of healthy lifestyles.

D.To emphasize the importance of eating snacks.

33.What do the underlined words“Nibbling Diet”in Paragraph2refer to?

A.Eating not much food at a time.

B.Eating many snacks at a time.

C.Eating food gently each time.

D.Eating food quickly each time.

34.How does the author convince readers to believe his opinion?

A.Explaining some concepts.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/619162860.html,ing many experts'words.

C.Asking many specific questions.

D.Giving some examples.

35.Who can benefit from dried fruits in the daily life?

A.An athlete who needs to maintain his weight.

B.A child who is eager to grow up quickly.

C.A girl who wants to warm herself in winter.

D.A patient who longs to decrease his blood sugar.
