SCHOOL TIME TEENS May10th, 2022 More than Just Nice Costurmes I’m sure most of you have heard of cosplayers. These people dress as characters from movies, TV shows, films and comic books. However, there is a lot more to a good cosplayer than what people see! Some cosplayers buy their costurmes, while others make them at home. Making a costurme takes a lot of time and skill. You have to be a propmaker (道具制作师) and artist… and this is only the basics. It may not be obvious, but computers are important for cosplay. Many cosplayers write code (代码) for their costurmes to light up, make sounds or operate electronically. Cosplayers with light-up costurmes are also computer programmers! When I was making a pair of wings, the structure of the wing frame defied (违抗) the laws of gravity (重力) and demanded scientific numbers from mathematics equations (公式). I pulled out a physics textbook and started my wings. When I finished, I handed in my cosplay at school as a research project and actually got academic credits (学分) for it! Sometimes, a cosplayer is also a researcher, physicist and engineer! Even for cosplayers that don’t make their costurmes, a lot of skills go into a good cosplay. Every cosplayer is a make-up artist and a hairstylist. Have you ever styled a wig? It’s a hug fuss! Anyone that can make a wig deserves a round of applause (鼓掌). | kidnapping an heiress

Have you ever bought Genki Forest (元气森林) sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free”? It’s popular among students. The company recently apologized for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”(零蔗糖), but this is not the same as “sugar-free”. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose (果糖) and sugar alcohol (糖醇), are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners (甜味剂). They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular among people who want to lose weight.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food. According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity (肥胖) and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). Would you like to try diet drinks now?
36．Why did Genki Forest apologize?
A．For not having sugar in its drinks. B．For misspelling words on its packaging.
C．For advertising its products incorrectly. D．For making too many advertisements.
37．What can we infer about Genki Forest from Paragraph 3?
A．There are sweeteners in its drinks. B．Its drinks have high levels of sucrose.
C．Its drinks taste sweeter than other drinks. D．People can lose weight with its drinks.
38．What do studies show about sweeteners?
A．They cause the brain to stop receiving signals. B．They provide enough energy for people.
C．They stop the body from getting energy. D．They probably make people feel hungrier.
39．According to the passage, drinking diet drinks can be __________.
A．fun B．harmful C．refreshing D．fashionable
40．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A．Sweeteners can make drinks sweeter. B．Genki Forest is popular with people.
C．Diet drinks can help people lose weight. D．Think twice about the diet drink trend.
