Everybody knows about lots of relatively easy things on weight loss. 1. However, if you have ever tried some before without success, then the following guides could be more useful for your life.
There’s no magical diet.
We often think that if we can just discover the “right” kinds of foods, we’ll magically lose weight or maintain what we’ve lost. In fact there doesn’t seem to be any “right” diet, and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that one particular diet will work better with an individual’s body. __2.
Dieting gets the better of exercising.
It is said that exercise is the key to weight loss—taking the stairs instead of the elevator will make a difference, for instance. 3. Decreasing food intake is much more effective than increasing physical activity to achieve weight loss. Of course, both together would be even better.
Work harder than other people.
Exercise may not help go back to what it was before you gained weight. So if you’ve been overweight and you lose weight, maintaining that loss means you’re probably going to have to work harder than other people. Building muscles can help your body burn a few more calories. 4. It seems unfair, but that’s the way it is.
5.
For energy balance, it’s the number of calories that counts. It’s certainly true at least in theory and sometimes in practice. You can gain weight eating too much healthy food as well as unhealthy food. So the point is not to question what a calorie is, but rather to understand that we need to exchange the calorie-packed foods for foods that are less calorie-dense and more nutritionally dense.
A. All calories are created equal.
B. Some of them are also extremely effective when actually carried out.
C. A calorie is a calorie!
D. We know pretty much that any diet will work if you follow it.
E. However, it’s much more efficient to cut calories.
F. Some of the calories we burn come from our basic exercise.
G. However, it’s also likely that you’ll have to do more in the long run.
Veteran（经验丰富的）rock climbers are calling her one of the most promising climbers in the world. She flies up, grasping the rock and heading gracefully for practically non-existent（不存在的）holds. She’s only 14. Ashima Shiraishi, the New York-born teen, has shaken up the climbing world. At 1.55 meters and 45 kilograms, Ashima might not look like the groundbreaking athlete. But she could be, though still young, the first female climber whose accomplishments go beyond gender.
The evidence: At just 14, Ashima has already made history in the sport. She won the American National Youth Bouldering Championship（美国青少年攀岩锦标赛）every year from 2010 to 2014. And last March, the young climber completed the “Open Your Mind Direct” course in Spain. It’s a very big deal because the course, with a hold broken off near the top, is widely considered one of the hardest in the world. Only one woman and a small number of men have ever conquered it. She first learned to climb on rocks in Central Park when she was only six. Her father, who works as a dancer, is her coach. At age nine, Ashima went on a bouldering（攀岩）trip to Texas. Falling brought tears to her eyes, but she didn’t give up. Now, she finds she “couldn’t live without climbing.”
For the past six years, Ashima has been a climbing legend. Her love for the sport has taken her around the world. There have been articles and photo spreads（横贯两版的照片）in newspapers and sports magazines, films, countless online video clips, and an appearance on Time Magazine’s list of America’s most influential teenagers.
“I think people are shocked if I do something they can’t do or because I’m still very young and I’m a girl,” Ashima says. “In most sports, men lead the way. But with climbing, who knows, maybe women will be leading. Doing something that a guy can’t do is pretty special.”
1.As for Ashima Shiraishi, we know ________.
A. she is a great young rock climber
B. she can always find climbing holds that don’t exist
C. she doesn’t look like an athlete at all
D. she is the first female climber in the world
2.Which of the following is true about the course “Open your Mind Direct”?
A. Climbers can take the course only in Spain and America.
B. It is not difficult to finish the course.
C. Climbers have to finish it without any holds at near the top.
D. Not many climbers have done well in it.
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. she wants to try other events in sports
B. she wonders why people are shocked
C. she expects to do better in rock climbing
D. she decides to try anything men can do
4.The passage mainly focuses on ________.
A. A Rock Star in the Climbing World
B. The First Female Rock Climber
C. A Most Influential Teenager in America
D. The Champion of American National Youth
My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it. “Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight （暮色）. “The one down at the corner,” she explained. “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look. You ought to see it.” I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street when a splash of bright orange caught my eyes. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
I approached the tree to look at it closely. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. It was a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. Like the mess of an artist’s palette（调色板）, the tree blazed a bright crimson（深红色）on its lower branches and burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center, and deep red at its top. Through these colors were light green leaves as yet untouched by autumn.
Walking closer I noticed several bare branches near the top, their small black branches scratching the air like claws. The fallen leaves lay like a red carpet around the trunk.
As I was amazed at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s comments about the stars. “If the constellations（星座）appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they’re up there every night, we barely give them a look,” he made a remark in Nature.
I felt the same way about the tree. Because its beauty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.
Once in the 19th century when a man noticed a brilliant display of northern lights（北极光）in the sky over Massachusetts, he rang a church bell to alert the whole town’s people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to awake the countryside to its wonder.
I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but important question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the tree?”.
1.What did the author’s neighbor remind him?
A. To appreciate the beauty of the sunset.
B. To find what happened at the street corner.
C. To draw a picture of a tree.
D. To enjoy the beautiful tree in all colors.
2. From the passage we know _________.
A. the author felt it precious to see the beauty of the tree
B. the author thought of the stars as beautiful as the tree
C. the remarkable scene of the tree only appeared in a thousand years
D. People never had a close look at the tree
3. How did the author call on people to enjoy the wonder?
A. He rang the church bell.
B. He passed on the same question.
C. He awakened all neighbors up.
D. He required people to the corner.
4.The best title of the passage can be ________.
A. Have You Seen the Tree?
B. The Most Beautiful Tree
C. One of the Wonders in Nature
D. The Precious Moment in Life
