People often talk about how difficult it is to keep a healthy lifestyle while on vacation. A cruise （船）is the perfect example--too much food and too little exercise.1.Then I realized that’s of taking such vacations, we would all be better off taking vacations that encourage healthy behavior. Things like hiking and cycling are not only healthy, but they're cheap! 2.－we couldn't afford to do such else!
Gerhard Strauss-Blasche and colleagues examined the links between vacation environment and recovery. 3. They filled out questionnaires within two weeks of returning from a short vacation. Post-vacation recovery was assessed by quantifying how closely subjects agreed with the statement "In comparison with the two weeks before vacation, I now feel mentally fitter, feel more balanced and relaxed, can concentrate better during work, feel physically fitter, and do my work more easily.”
4.?Physical activity during the trip was positively associated with post-vacation recovery scores. In other words, the more physically active people were during their vacation, the more likely they were to feel relaxed upon their return. 5..In fact, I wouldn't take this study too seriously. But I don't think it's surprising that people who engage in(参加）healthy behaviors during a vacation might feel better upon their return. So instead of looking at your vacation as a potential block to your healthy lifestyle, why not look at it as a chance to improve your healthy behaviors?
A.I thought a lot about this issue
B.So what did the researchers find
C.Now of course this is only one study
D.The study included 191 German males and females
E.That's why my wife Daun and I first started taking cycling vacations
F.Limited evidence supports the idea that healthy vacations leave you feeling better
G.Why would people choose to eat unhealthy food and perform very little physical activity
Universities have finally promised to end grade inflation(膨胀)after a growing number of first-class degrees led to accusations of dumbing down.The percentage of firsts handed out has doubled in the last decade,with 24 percent of graduates now awarded the top grade,compared with 12 percent in 2008.
Universities UK(UUK)is today promising for the first time to handle the problem and check the endless rise in the number of firsts dealt out.
Education Secretary Damian Hinds welcomed the move and warned any university producing an unreasonable rise in top degrees will face intervention(介入)from the regulator Office for Students.He said artificial grade inflation ust be stopped and warned quality must not be cast aside to build up an institution's reputation.
As part of a package of measures,universities have agreed to follow a new framework specifying what a student must demonstrate(展示）to achieve a certain grade.They have promised to ensure the standards will stretch and challenge all students,and protect the value of qualifications.
It comes after UUK admitted for the first time in November that tutors may be under pressure from both students and their bosses to inflate degree results.Staff may be tempted(诱惑)to hand out more top marks because they fear bad reviews in student feedback surveys,it said,while institutions could be motivated to do so to improve their position in national rankings.
Critics have long warned the trend weakens employers confidence in the system,as they cannot pick out outstanding candidates to hire.
A UUK investigation discovered 43 percent of first-class degrees last year were likely to have been awarded due to factors such as grade inflation.
Professor Dame Janet Beer,president of UUK,said,"The UK higher education sector has a world- leading reputation,so it is critical to protect the value of a university degree." UUK's promise will be in place for the 2019-2020 academic year.
