For most of us, dieting is an annoying fact life. With so much information available, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let’s start by taking a look at some confusing myths (荒谬)。
1.All calories are created equal.
What you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain. In fact, the body burns many more calories digesting carbohydrates than it does digesting fat ,For every 100 calories of carbohydrates we consume in excess (超过)of our daily requirement ,only 75 are turned into body fat .But 97 of every 100 excess fat calories are turned into body fat .
2.Desserts and fast foods are forbidden.
Some experts advise against describing foods as “ good ”and “bad ”.Even cakes ,pies ,and ice cream can be worked into a diet, Moderation is the key. Besides ,a plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice ,So is baked chicken or a green salad with low –cal,dressing. But watch out for French fries, and fried chicken of fish .
3.It makes no difference whether you’re top or bottom –heavy.
In fact ,where weight is distributed makes all the difference. Recent studies suggest that people who store fat on the upper body (apple shape )rather than on hips and thighs (大腿)脚（pear shape ）may have an increased rick of heart disease.There is probably little you can do to change how your body is genetically programmed to store fat ,But you can lost excess weight overall .
4.Fasting is the fastest diet .
Some studies suggest that suddenly reducing calorie intake puts the body into “starvation mode ”,which causes it to conserve calories and decreases the rate of digestion .The more often you deprive yourself of food ,the better your body may get at storing calories ,So ,in the long run ,repeated fasting may actually weaken your weight –loss efforts.
5.To keep weight off ,simply watch what you eat
According to studies ,exercise combined with dieting ensures weight loss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that having regular, moderate exercise is more important than occasional exercises. Researchers encourage patients to take the stairs instead of the elevator and park the car far from where you are going and walking.
6.It’s all your fault that you’re fat
Research at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine indicates that body shape and size are in large part decided by a person’s genes. In short ,some people are naturally more likely to be fat than other.Moreover, someone who was fat in childhood will have more fat cells than a person of average weight. Once made, the cells may enlarge or shrink (缩小),but they never disappear.
Yet genes don’t have to control your shape ,The size of your fat cells depends on you ---- on your eating habits and lifestyle ,Most important ,before getting caught up in dietary myths ,let good sense shape your eating habits ,Your body will thank you for it .

The English language is changing fast, thanks to the rapid progress of technology. We all have a choice: we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well, or we can embrace(拥抱) the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it Weblish.
“You can’t avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it is certain to impacts(冲击) on the language as a whole,” says Dr David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book “Language and the Internet” has just been published.
The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac(which is a computer, not a raincoat.) Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing(引不起食欲的) canned meat, it now stands for unwanted “junk” e-mail. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is textmessaging playing “hvc wth vrbs” {havoc(混乱) with verbs} , but the conventions of e-mail communication place little emphasis on “Perfect spelling.”
Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs (“Please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns (“Send me the download”). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives(dialup, logon, print-out, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyber-space, Internet, hyperlink, netspeak.
1.We can infer from the first paragraph that__________.
A. some people wish Shakespeare were still alive
B. people may have different attitudes towards weblish
C. all people welcome weblish
D. weblish causes fear among people
2.The third paragraph is mainly about ____________.
A. different meanings of English words B. the rapid changes of English words
C. the difficulty in understanding words related to computer and the Internet
D. common words used on the Internet
3.The author thinks the main difficulty for people in keeping up with weblish is that _______.
A. old words take on new meanings B. there are so many new words
C. the technology is changing too fast D. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes
4.Dr David Crystal would probably agree that __________.
A. people should not accept weblish
B. weblish can cause misunderstanding among people
C. weblish will destroy the English language
D. people should know something about weblish
