Christian Poincheval is a 65－year－old French inventor who has dedicated the past eight years of his life to making farts(屁) smell better.He claims that his product—Lutin Malin—which has another name “crafty imp”—are pills that can help ease digestion and change the smell of farts.What's more, the pills can change smelly farts into smelling like roses or violets.Poincheval claims that his newest invention, just in time for the holidays, makes farts smell like chocolate.
According to Poincheval's website, the idea for inventing the pills apparently came from a dinner with friends during which nobody could stop farting.“We were at table with friends and after a hearty meal, almost all of us farted.We almost suffocated(窒息) as our farts were really smelly，” Poincheval writes in his page.“The winds were not very pleasant for our fellow diners.So I knew it was time for me to do something.I can't prevent people from farting, but I can change the smell of the farts.”
That horrific dinner, in which a group of several adults seemingly farted uncontrollably in a public space, inspired Poincheval to try his best to find a way to solve the problem of flatulence(肠胃胀气) completely.He claims the pills are made from organic materials like blueberries, fennel and seaweed and that he sells “several hundred bottles a month.”
Poincheval told The Telegraph that he had many customers, especially around the holidays.“I sold about 1，500 bottles of the pills this Christmas.People love the pills and I'm very happy because I help them in my own way，” he said.
A bottle of 60 pills sells for ￡9.99, or $12.50, which seems shockingly low for something that makes terrible things smell like good things.
21．The pills that Christian Poincheval invented can ________．
A．help treat some diseases
B．make people live longer
C．help flowers grow better
D．make farts smell better
答案 D [细节理解题。根据短文第一段中的who has dedicated the past eight years of his life to making farts(屁) smell better.可知，Christian Poincheval发明的药丸能使屁闻起来好闻一些。故选D。]
22．Christian Poincheval had the idea of inventing the pills when ________．
A．he was seriously ill in hospital
B．he had dinner with his friends
C．he couldn't digest well one day
D．he was laughed at by his friends
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的the idea for inventing the pills apparently came from a dinner with friends during which nobody could stop farting.可知，Christian Poincheva是在与朋友一起吃饭时产生发明这种药丸的主意的。]
23．It can be known from the passage that the pills ________．
A．are too expensive for people to buy
B．can prevent people from farting
C．are made from organic materials
D．smell like roses or violets
答案 C [细节He claims the pills are made from organic materials like blueberries, fennel and seaweed and that he sells “several hundred bottles a month.”可知，这种药丸是由有机材料做成的。]
24．We may infer from the passage that ________．
A．people become ill easily on holidays
B．the pills are not fit for everyone
C．the pills do harm to people's health
D．the pills are popular with people
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“several hundred bottles a month.”以及第四段中的he has many customers和People love the pills可知，这种药片受到了人们的喜爱。]

Whoever said no news is good news was wrong.Turns out drinking red wine is better for you than going to the gym! How's that for good news? Jason Dyck and other science researchers in the University of Alberta in Canada found that red wine, nuts and grapes have a complex called resveratrol(白藜芦醇) which improves heart, muscle and bone functions; the same way they're improved when one goes to the gym.Resveratrol proved to be an effective antioxidant(抗氧化剂) when tested on small white rats which is why scientists are planning on testing it with patients.If results are positive for the benefits of the complex，patients' heart health could be improved just as much as it does when they exercise in the gym.
While scientists and wine lovers are happy with this news, doctors are still unlikely to recommend their patients to start drinking any type of alcohol as it can have harmful effects on your body.People should keep in mind that these benefits can be enjoyed only when having one glass of wine with your evening meal, at the most.Resveratrol is specifically found in red wine as are some of the beneficial antioxidants referred to when talking about heart health.
Red wine is also known to reduce “bad cholesterol” and prevent blood clots(血栓)．Other benefits red wine is known for (when consumed in moderation, constantly) are：promoting longevity, cutting risk of cataracts and colon cancer, reducing risk of Type 2 Diabetes and slowing down brain decline (which beer is known for, too.)
We think these are good excuses to relax and rest with a glass of red wine every single night instead of going to the gym after a day of hard work.Remember：A glass of red wine per day is as beneficial as going to the gym.Bottoms up!
25．It can be known from the first paragraph that ________．
A．red wine really does good to people's health
B．exercise plays a small part in improving health
C．resveratrol has only been found in red wine
D．patients with heart diseases need more exercise
答案 A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的that red wine, nuts and grapes have a complex called resveratrol(白藜芦醇) which improves heart, muscle and bone functions可知，红酒中的白藜芦醇能够改善心脏、肌肉和骨骼的功能，由此推
26．Doctors don't recommend their patients to drink wine because ________．
A．the finding of the research has not been tested on patients
B．drinking any type of alcohol does great harm to the patients
C．they have different opinions on the finding of the research
D．any type of alcohol has harmful effects on the patients
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的doctors are still unlikely to recommend their patients to start drinking any type of alcohol as it can have harmful effects on your body.可知，因为担心酒对身体有有害效应而不推荐病人饮用。]
27．The purpose of the third paragraph is ________．
A．to give the patients some advice
B．to list diseases caused by drinking wine
C．to show some benefits of red wine
D．to persuade people to keep away from wine
答案 C [推理判断题。文章第三段主要说明了红酒的一些好处。故选项C正确。]
28．What is the author's opinion on drinking red wine?
A．A glass of red wine a day.
B．The more, the better.
C．Never start drinking red wine.
D．Drink red wine with three meals.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据短文内容特别是文章第一段Turns out drinking red wine is better for you than going to the gym！以及最后一段A glass of red wine per day is as beneficial as going to the gym.说明作者的观点是每天饮用一杯红酒。]
