阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern and physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientists offer the following advice to teenagers: First, find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.

There are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. ''Overweight'' means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. ''Inactive'' means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. ''Active'' refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.

According to experts, overweight teenagers should work out to keep healthy. Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories. Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger. The same rule is also suitable for active teenagers.

Experts also suggest one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. They are really important in order to prevent injuries. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.

    How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep-beep-beep, that hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess (昏昏沉沉).1.? A recent study says yes. The answer is music.

Researchers say alarms that have a melody can help people feel fresher in the morning. The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. They answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to. 2..

Sleep inertia (惯性) is another term for grogginess.3., and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. People need to better understand sleep inertia’s harmful effects on human performance later in the day. The grogginess we may feel in the morning usually lasts for up to 30 minutes, but some may last from two to four hours. Not everyone will experience the full effect.

4., especially when they perform duties that require a top performance within this period or for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake. So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up?5..

A.Possibly the different tones in it

B.Simply the single sound of “beeping”

C.So, is there a better way to wake up

D.So, what is a better way to wake up

E.But for those who do, care should be taken

F.It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up

G.They also expressed how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up

    In some places around the world, you can find bright green balls of moss ( 苔藓 ) scattered across glaciers, which, surprisingly, move all at about the same speeds and in the same directions.

The glacier moss balls are commonly called “glacier mice”, and were the subject of a recent study published online in Polar Biology this month. The study’s authors believe that they develop from impurities ( 杂质 ) on ice surfaces. “They’re not attached ( 黏附 ) to anything and they’re just resting there on ice,” said one of the authors. “They’re bright green in a world of white.”

The moss balls don’t stay at rest for long, though. They moved about 2.5 centimeters per day on average. Another one of the study’s authors pointed out that movement is a necessity for the glacier moss balls because the entire surface of the ball must occasionally get exposed to the sun. “These things must actually roll around or else that moss on the bottom would die,” she said.

Glacier mice have ever been spotted in Alaska, Iceland, Svalbard and South America, but scientists still have a lot to learn about them.

One of the biggest questions is why the moss balls, which can live for at least six years, move the way they do. The researchers tried to explain this strange phenomenon in many ways.

First, they thought the balls had rolled downhill, but later found that they weren’t going down a slope ( 斜坡 ). Then, they thought the wind was blowing them in consistent directions. But when they measured the dominant direction of the wind, that didn’t explain it either. And finally, they considered the sun, which melts the ice and may make the moss balls move, but the direction of incoming solar radiation wasn’t in the direction which the balls were going in. Still confused with this problem, the researchers said that they hope that one day, future generations will “get to the bottom of these great mysteries”.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Wind blows Glacier mice to move.

B.The direction of sunlight helps Glacier mice.

C.Scientists leave these mysteries to future generations.

D.It remains a puzzle why the glacier moss balls move in this way.

    China’s domestically ( 国内 ) developed Beidou Navigation Satellite System has been widely used in many public sectors and business fields at home and abroad.

Beidou has been used in dozens of business and public sector fields ( 公共部门领域 ) in China, including transportation, electric power transmission, fisheries, mining and agriculture.

Tens of millions of Beidou-based terminal （终端） devices have been sold and are in use. By the end of 2019, more than 100 million Beidou-based navigation chips, modules and other products had been sold. The system had by then been fixed in nearly 6.6 million taxis, buses and trucks around China as well as more than 70,000 fishing ships across the country. Beidou-enabled functions are also used in at least 50,000 agricultural machines and have improved their operational efficiency. More than 70 percent of mobile phones registered in China are capable of utilizing Beidou signals. In the public security field, more than 400,000 portable terminals used by the police across the country have Beidou-enabled positioning functions. Beidou has also played important roles in security work for high-level events.

Globally, by the end of 2019, Chinese products based on Beidou had been sold to more than 120 foreign countries and regions, playing a helpful role in a number of public sector fields. For instance, Beidou has helped Russia improve its electric grid inspections ( 电网检测 ), made operations more convenient for unmanned aircraft users in Cambodia, and promoted management efficiency of many warehouses in Thailand and construction work in Kuwait.

    Dr Almeida left school at 16 with little formal education but got a job as a laboratory technician in histopathology ( 组织病理学 ) at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Later she moved to London to further her career and in 1954 married Enriques Almeida, an artist.

The couple and their young daughter moved to Toronto in Canada and it was at the Ontario Cancer Institute that Dr Almeida developed her outstanding skills with an electron microscope.

She pioneered a method which better visualized ( 成像 ) viruses by using antibodies to gather them. Her talents were recognized in the UK and she was invited to work at St Thomas’s Hospital Medical School in London.

On her return, she began to cooperate with Dr David Tyrrell. Dr Tyrrell and his team were able to grow quite a few common cold-associated viruses. One sample, known as B814, was discovered in 1960. They found that they were able to transmit ( 传染 ) common cold symptoms to volunteers but they were unable to grow it in routine cell culture ( 细胞培养 ). However, volunteer studies showed its growth in organ cultures ( 器官培养 ). Dr Tyrrell wondered if it could be seen by an electron microscope. They sent samples to Almeida who found that they were like flu viruses but not exactly the same. She identified what became known as the first human coronavirus ( 冠状病毒 ).

Dr Almeida had actually seen particles ( 微粒 ) like this before while investigating viruses in mice and chickens. However, when she sent her paper about this discovery to a medical journal, it was rejected. It was two years later that the first photographs of the virus she had seen were published in Journal of General Virology. It was named coronavirus because of the crown surrounding it on the viral image.

1.Why did Dr Almeida return to work in the UK ?

A.Because her family did not like Toronto.

B.Because the UK appreciated her talents.

C.Because she bettered an electron microscope.

D.Because she was the first one to visualize viruses.

2.What can we know about B814?

A.It could be grown in routine cell culture.

B.It was unable to develop in organ cultures.

C.It’s exactly the same with influenza viruses.

D.It was identified as the first human coronavirus.

3.What can we connect with the name “coronavirus”?

A.Its viral image.

B.Its deadly power.

C.It original sample.

D.Its first appearance.

David Aguilar is a boy born without his right arm. Because of that, Aguilar has always stood out from the persons at the same age. As a child, he was very nervous to be in front of other guys, because he thought that he was different. While growing up, Aguilar had to learn how to do everything with just one hand. Although he was able to do almost everything people with two hands can do, Aguilar explained that he still thought about getting a prosthetic hand (假肢) throughout his childhood just so that he could look a little bit more normal and fit in with everyone else.

When Aguilar told his parents that those arms were cool because they were mechanical (机械的) and could make you look like a robot, his parents began thinking about buying a prosthetic arm for Aguilar. However, when Aguilar' s parents started looking into getting their son a prosthetic hand, they discovered how expensive it was. And they couldn't afford to buy one for their son.

Yet when Aguilar was playing with his Lego (乐高) at the age of nine years old, he started experimenting with building his own prosthetic arm. He didn't know it at the time, but his favorite toy was about to change the way he viewed himself as well as change the course of his life. At first, he just wanted to create something that could help him and be part of him. As he linked the blocks together around his arm, he just started making this prosthetic from Lego. When Aguilar looked at himself in the mirror for the first time with his Lego prosthetic, he was amazed by what he saw.

However, the arm wasn't the most strong and would often bend and break if he tried to do any heavy lifting with it. So almost ten years later, Aguilar set out to build himself a new prosthetic arm and he hoped to help more people who didn't have enough money to buy prosthetic hands. One day, one of his dad's friends gave him a Lego plane as a gift, but all he saw was an arm.
