Is it possible to build muscle and meanwhile lose fat?Please allow us to bring the following two facts to your attention first.
Fact 1：Losing fat requires a caloric deficit(亏损)，which means consuming less calories than your body needs so that stored body fat is used for energy instead.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
English learners can improve their abilities to remember and use new words by testing themselves. So next time you are studying English, try to test 1. (your). A simple way to test vocabulary is to create flashcards (抽认卡) with clues on one side and answers on the back. Flashcards in the past were small cards or pieces of paper with a word or a question on one side and the meaning or answer to 2. question on the other side. Students used them to quiz each other or quiz themselves to prepare 3. examinations. Now, many online services allow students 4. (create) digital flashcards. One such service is Quizlet, 5. learners can do a variety of activities based on one set of new words or 6. (inform). You can match words and meanings, write a word after 7. (look) at a picture, or listen to a word and write it. You can also play 8. (game) with the new words and meanings.
Another way is to ask yourself questions. Lynn recommends that learners ask questions such as, “What did I learn today? What were those words I thought were 9. (interest)? What 10. (be) the verb tense I learned? How does it work?”

People all have good days and bad days. And some of the bad days happen due to events beyond your control. 1.One way to increase the possibility that you have a good day is to join in “gratification(喜悦)” activities , which you enjoy and you’re good at. 2.However, if you don’t have the type of job, you can take part in other activities and find the same result.
3.There are many little pleasures you can add to your life, such as tea, a warm bath, a walk in the park and so on. As long as you enjoy them, they can really brighten your every day. Laughter is also part of having a good day. That’s why it’s important to do what you can to create joy for you.4.After all, if you are humorous, you can more easily center on fun things.
If you don’t have much time, one way can be used during a stressful day. 5.You should achieve this by making your plan flexible and checking that everything in your plan is necessary. Being busy is okay, but wasting time and energy on too many unnecessary things can just lead to stress.
A. Often, bad days come from overweight stress.
B. Some people experience joy and happiness at work.
C. Good moods enable us to notice more chances.
D. Life’s pleasures are also able to add a quick lift to your mood.
E. However, people do have power in creating better days.
F. So it’s important ---especially if you’re a busy person---to stay balanced.
G. Besides, developing a sense of humor also helps you have a good day.
Scientists can figure out a movie's emotional tone from the gasps(喘气) of its audience. These gases could point the way to a subtle(微妙的，精细的) form of human communication, a new study suggests.
"When you see a movie, you can hear the music and see the pictures. However, you don't realize here are chemical signals in the air. And they, too, could be affecting you, says Williams, who led the study. As an atmospheric chemist, he studies the chemical makeup of the air around us.
Williams started out measuring the air in a soccer stadium. He noticed that levels of carbon dioxide and other gases changed wildly whenever the crowd cheered. That got him wondering -- Could the gases people breathe out be influenced by emotions?
To find out, he went to the movies.
Williams and his coworkers measured air samples collected over six weeks in two movie theaters. Overall, 9,500 movie goers watched 16 films. They included a mix of comedy, romance, action and horror films. Among them were The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Carrie, and Walking with Dinosaurs. The researchers gave scenes from the movies such labels as “suspense(悬疑)”, "laughter" and "crying". Then they looked for hundreds of chemicals in the air that showed up as people were watching particular movie scenes.
And certain scenes had distinct chemical "fingerprints". Scenes that had people laughing or on the edge of their seats were especially distinctive. During screenings of The Hunger Games, levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene got to the highest at two suspenseful moments. Because isoprene is related to muscle movement, the researchers think tense movie moments likely led to its spikes(尖峰). Williams and his colleagues think the increase in carbon dioxide was due to the viewers' increased pulse and breathing rates.
Scientists need more data to make stronger links between human emotions and what's in their breath. But Williams can see potential practical uses. Companies, for instance, could quickly measure the air during tests to see how people feel about new products. He pictures future studies recording other body variables(变数) as well. These might include heart rate and body temperature, for instance. "It's something to find out."
1.What was Williams's purpose of the research?
A.To know more about the makeup of the air.
B.To find out how the air changes in a crowded stadium.
C.To study how greatly the movies influence people's emotion.
D.To see whether people's emotion affects the air they breathe out.
2.What do we know about the experiment?
A.Each participant watched about 16 films.
B.The movies were a mixture of comedy and romance.
C.The film scenes were labeled with three main features.
D.The samples were taken in two theaters over six weeks.
3.In which situation are people most emotional?
A.Romantic moments. B.Exciting situations.
C.Suspenseful situations. D.Horrible moments.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Human emotions are strongly related to the chemicals humans breathe out.
B.People's temperature will be measured when they' re watching movies.
C.Williams thinks more measures should be taken for practical uses.
D.Companies will spend much money testing their new product.
