Here are some tips from the experts to help you drop pounds gradually and safely.

Eat smaller portions

The trick is to eat more throughout the day.

“Sitting down to three rounded meals has its place. But you should have healthy snacks throughout the day,” Uehlein says. 1.To control portion (份) sizes, use your hand as a guide. “Never eat anything bigger than your hand,” says the chef.

Eat more healthful foods

Fruits, vegetables and wholegrains are low in calories and fat, yet filling.2.

Cut back on the amount of oil you use in dressings or sauces. For example, replace half of the oil with orange juice in a sauce.

But don’t assume fat-free processed (加工过的) foods are a good choice.

“A lot of times, fat-free products are very high in salt and tend to be low in dietary fiber (膳食纤维), so you’re not full.3.,” Uehlein says.

Be mindful

It’s not easy to keep on a diet. You are likely to eat too much, especially when you’re upset, attracted by television or you’ve skipped a meal.4., says Catherine Champagne, Ph.D. and registered dietitian.

“Becoming aware is so important,” Champagne says. Her patients often fear to keep a record. “They don’t want to think beyond eating, thus putting on weight easily.5.,” she says.

Avoid situations in which you can’t eat as healthfully as you want. Uehlein, who spent years as a restaurant chef, recommends eating at home more often.

A.You’ll be hungry sooner

B.So you’re satisfied with less

C.But you have to learn to control

D.So keeping a food diary is helpful

E.Exercises are good for your weight-loss

F.Staying away from snacks is good for our health

G.He suggests a banana mid-morning and a few nuts in the afternoon

At Mrs. Jennings’ handsome house, in London.

While waiting for dinner, Marianne Dashwood wrote a letter very quickly. Elinor Dashwood noticed a large “W” in the address. Marianne rang the bell to have someone post it immediately.

After dinner, there was a loud knock at the door. Marianne cried, “Oh, it’s Willoughby!” and seemed to throw herself into his arms when Colonel Brandon came in. She was so surprised that she immediately left the room.

Elinor made the tea for Colonel Brandon. He did not stay long.

The next morning, upon arriving at home after shopping, Marianne flew upstairs.

“No letter has been left here for me since we went out. How strange!” she said, in a low and disappointed voice.

About a week later, they saw Mr. Willoughby’s card on the table when they came in from morning’s drive. He had been there while the ladies were out.

“He will call again tomorrow,” said Elinor.

Marianne decided to stay behind the next morning, when the others went out. One look at her sister when they returned was enough to tell Elinor that Willoughby had not called.

Colonel Brandon came again to tea and had short private conversation with Elinor.

“Your sister’s engagement to Mr. Willoughby is very well known.”

“It cannot be well known,” returned Elinor, “for her own family does not know it.”

“I am sorry but I did not realize it was a secret. I came to ask, is everything decided? Is it possible to? Excuse me, Miss Dasnwood. I believe I have been wrong in saying so much.”

From these words Elinor was sure of something, yet she knew he could never be successful with her.

Over the next three or four days, Willoughby neither came nor wrote.

One evening at a party, Marianne suddenly saw Willoughby standing in deep conversation with a young woman, whose name was Grey, a rich lady.

“He is there! Oh! Why does he not look at me? Why can’t I speak to him?”

“Marianne,” said Elinor, “perhaps he hasn’t seen you yet.”

At last he came to them.

“Willoughby, what’s wrong? Did you not get my letters? Won’t you look at me?”

After a moment’s pause, he spoke. “I came by last Tuesday but unfortunately did not see you. My card was not lost, I hope.”

“Have you not received my notes?” cried Marianne. “Tell me, Willoughby; tell me, what’s the matter?”

Quiet and embarrassed, he said nothing more and turned quickly away to Miss Grey. Marianne, turning white and unable to stand, fell into her chair.

1.Before the party, Marianne badly desired .

A.to write a letter to Willoughby B.to receive Willoughby's card

C.to be visited by Willoughby D.to be invited by Willoughby

2.The underlined word “something” in Para.14 refers to_______.

A.Marianne’s love for Brandon B.Brandon’s love for Marrianne

C.Willoughby’s love for Marianne D.the Dashwoods’ love for money

3.What do you know about Willoughby?

A.He didn’t call Marianne until the party to give her a surprise.

B.He was too shy to declare in public his deep love for Marianne.

C.He was already on the side of another woman with more money.

D.He felt disappointed that Brandon was between him and Marianne.

4.How do you find Marianne in the story?

A.More selfish than kind. B.More strong than weak.

C.More calm than impatient. D.More sensitive than sensible.

An online tool has been released(推出）which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).

Colourisation(上色）of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.

＂The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate（精确的）representation of the original photo in time."

The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.

Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.

The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.

Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.

“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.

1.How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?

A.By learning from people in Singapore.

B.By presenting old photos correctly.

C.By editing original colors on the photos.

D.By making a guess based on a data-set.

2.According to the passage,GauGAN can

A.colourise black and white photos accurately

B.employ deep learning to create works of art

C.make Tech firm NVIDIA known to people

D.turn rough drawings into realistic pictures

3.The passage is mainly about

A.the colourisation of old pictures

B.the technology of machine learning

C.picture editing tools powered by AI

D.simple lines changed into photos

4.The passage is most probably a

A.science report B.technology review

C.research plan D.laboratory record

Today I achieved a dream that was born in April this year.Before April I never swam,biked or ran.I played basketball sometimes,but I did little in the way of endurance(耐力）workouts. One day in April,however,this changed.I want to find a way to challenge myself.I decided I was going to train for the Chicago marathon and complete it in six months.

The day finally came.For the first 11 miles,everything was going great.I was pacing(调整节奏）myself correctly and there wasn't too much pain or tiredness building up in my legs. Shortly after mile 12,however,I started to feel some pain.Miles 12-17 became a mental battle as I tried to convince myself to get to the finish line without walking.

Miles 17-20 were getting hard.I had to consciously push myself to stay at the race pace I was aiming for.My ankles(脚踝）were starting to hurt and my legs were giving out.At around mile 21 I got a stomach ache.I thought I might have to stop and walk for a minute,but the determination side of my brain took over and said,"Stick to your goals and never give up!”

The last 3-4 miles of the marathon were like nothing I have experienced.At the aid station at mile 24 I walked for a few seconds and drank some water.Then I started running and slowly I got back up to speed and went on.The last mile stands as the single most difficult thing I have done physically and mentally.Every step I took,my brain was screaming at me to walk.but I wouldn't listen.

When I crossed the finish line I was so happy and excited that I began to cry.I will never forget this day and I encourage everyone to go after that big event you have been thinking about, because although it will be hard,there are few more rewarding feelings than the feeling I had today crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon.

How to Improve Your Memory

The human brain is extremely complex and powerful. 1. Here are 3 simple things that will help you improve your memory and keep it going strong into your old age.

Get plenty of exercise and rest.

Exercise isn’t just good for your physical body, but it is also good for your brain. Exercise increases the amount of oxygen that gets to your brain. 2. When you exercise, your brain produces certain chemicals that help to protect your brain cells. Rest is also an important part of improving your memory. Studies show that key memory improvement happens when you are in those deep stages of sleep, so go to bed early every night.

Have a good laugh as often as you can.

Not only is laughter good for the soul, it is also good for the brain and can help improve your memory.3. This helps you to learn more and be more creative. So, go ahead and belt out a good laugh. Not only will others join you, but you will feel much better after doing it.

Stress has a bad effect on your body, especially the brain. If you let stress stay, it can destroy your brain cells and cause damage to the part of the brain responsible for creating new memories and remembering old ones. So, stay away from stress. It’s bad for you. If you are feeling a little stressed, go outside and take a little walk around. 5.

A.Avoid stress.

B.Change your behavior.

C.It also helps to reduce memory loss

D.This will make you feel ten times better.

E.When you laugh you excite many areas of your brain.

F.The health of your brain directly shows how strong your memory is.

G.The human brain is like a muscle and can be trained.

In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.

At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance .of continuing their studies at a university or college.

Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.

Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor’s degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD

Most university courses don’t train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career（职业）, such as clothing design, or business studies.

1.The passage mainly tells us_______.

A.Something about the private schools in developed countries

B.How developed countries pay attention to education

C.Some general information about education in developed countries

D.Why education is important

2.Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?

A.Because the children don’t have money to go to school.

B.Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.

C.Because education doesn’t cost the country too much money.

D.Because there are not enough private schools.

3.In the first paragraph the underlined word “citizen” refer to________.

A.the cities B.members of a country

C.the children D.people who lives in cities

4.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

A.All the university students study one subject.

B.After studying at the university for three or four years, all the students can get a Bachelor’s degree.

C.Students usually receive a master’s degree before receiving a Bachelor’s degree.

D.Unlike university, colleges usually teach students some useful skills for a career

It is reported that critical thinking, creativity, and their practical application(应用)are widely accepted as the top three skills that young people need to have when they take jobs in their future. Critical thinking is about becoming a better thinker in every aspect of your life: in your career, and as a consumer, citizen, friend, parent and lover. Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.

Whenever a good critical thinker needs to do something, he would usually firstly check why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it. Then, he tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it.

And then he makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decisions and takes actions. Take the “Double 11” (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them.

Then what would happen if he didn’t think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decisions.

1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A.Critical thinking gets very helpful.

B.Critical thinking has a long history.

C.Critical thinking becomes more popular.

D.Critical thinking makes a great difference.

2.According to the text, how to be a good critical thinker for us?

A.Making some careful comparison.

B.Collecting much more information.

C.Taking something into consideration.

D.Adapting to every surrounding easily.

3.The author uses the example of Double 11 to___________.

A.List the bad results of not thinking critically

B.Show how to make good use of critical thinking

C.Show the different advantages of shopping online

D.Tell the great importance of making a shopping list

4.What does the underlined word “complaints” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Saying something to show the feeling of being unsatisfied.

B.Preparing something to make sure of making wise decisions.

C.Offering the effective ways to avoid the feeling of regrets.

D.Giving detailed information to help make right judgments.

After attending another parent meeting regarding my 7-year-old child’s behaviour, I didn’t know what to do. It was the second school we had tried for Nathan and, as always, everything was being done for my child’s needs. It was also having bad effects on Nathan. He would come home and say, “ Mom , I hate my life. I do not want to live anymore.” I was afraid that my son was beginning to suffer from depression and that I was losing him. We needed help.

By the age of seven, Nathan had already had three surgeries for his ears. He was in great pain, regardless of pain medication, which made it difficult for him to learn or pay attention. Despite Nathan’s bad condition, staff at two previous schools seemed as though they didn’t care. They often forgot to deal with his medication. As a result of many times of ear infections, Nathan had hearing loss. To make things worse, Nathan’s speech was not very good. Children would play a trick on him and Nathan began to fall behind in study.

When I first set foot into Ripley House Charter School, I knew this was the school for my son. It felt positive from the moment I entered. From the start, Mrs. Elsen and her staff heard my concern over Nathan. Mrs. Elsen addressed my concern, not with empty words but with action.

That day, Nathan came home from his first day of school saying, “ Mom, I love school !” By the end of the week he was saying “ Mom, I like my life. I have a good life.” Ripley House Charter School gave me my son back and saved our lives. Thank you for giving me back what we had lost ----HOPE.

8 p.m.—To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, local dances and a moving band of boys singing songs on request. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and tuck into the catch of the day.

Saturday

9:30 a.m. — Start the day with another dose of Balinese culture by heading for a dance performance.

12 p.m. — Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and adjoining crater lake. It’s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it tends to get cloudy after 3 p.m. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur and the lake. Tourists can catch the sunrise at the Mt. Batur peak.

2:30 p.m.— Head back to Ubud, the seat of Bali’s fine arts, dance and music, and spend the rest of your afternoon strolling through its streets.

10:30 a.m.— another half-day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.

12 p.m.— Next up is the Tanah Lot temple, perhaps the most famous of them all. Built on a rock that gets cut off from the mainland during high tide, the temple is best seen in the afternoon when it is silhouetted(显出轮廓) against the sun or at sunset.

I’ve spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you’re doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗).

Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police rather than by independent taxi drivers.

Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it’s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.

If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.

The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.

1.The author is trying to __________ in Delhi through this text.

A.explain the difficulties of traveling B.expect us to travel around

C.show his/her experiences D.give some advice of traveling

2.To avoid being cheated, you ought to _________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.

A.go out of the airport B.go to a police-run booth

C.show your ticket to the driver D.pay more to the drivers to keep safe

3.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to __________.

A.help the local rickshaw drivers B.enjoy the comfortable trip

C.gain some unique experience D.save some money

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.

B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.

C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.

D.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.

Life is to be enjoyed. There’s no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that’s even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:

YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter and think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people’s brains!

YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.

YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening our lives.

Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers’ awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal appearing telomeres.

In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.

1.Which of the following are good for lengthening one’s life, according to the passage?

① eat healthy food ② drink plenty of water ③ take exercise

④ get up early ⑤ go to sleep early ⑥ release one’s stress

A.①③⑥ B.③④⑥ C.①⑤⑥ D.①②③

2.The underlined words “your skin glows” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “your skin looks _________”.

A.white as there is plenty of sunshine

B.soft as you exercise enough

C.pink as you are healthy

D.smooth as there is much blood in it

3.In the author’s opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT _________.

A.brains becoming cleverer B.genes being changed

C.arteries turning narrower D.faces having fewer wrinkles

4.The best title for the passage would be “___________”.

A.Eat Better, Live Better B.Smoke More, Age Sooner

C.Less Stress, Fewer Diseases D.Feel Better, Live Longer

Increased use of the Internet and mobile phones are undermining pupils’ capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.

Cranfield School of Management found almost six in 10 schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.

More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism (剽窃). The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised fresh concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people. Andrew Kakabadse, professor of International Management Development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning.

“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.”

The report revealed that so-called “text-speak’’ was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work. Three in 10 students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as “ruok” in essays and classroom tasks.

It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as “innit” and “Gr8” were regularly found in school work, it was claimed. The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.

More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.

1.The underlined word “undermining” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by “_________”.

A.keeping B.determining

C.weakening D.increasing

2.It can be inferred from what Kakabadse said that _________.

A.he believes schools are responsible for technology obsession

B.he is in favour of students’ mobile phone usage at school

C.the research finds a new way to improve school management

D.it is hard to limit students’ mobile phone usage at school

3.The passage is mainly about _________.

A.technology’s positive influence on students’ achievement

B.the negative effect of technology on students’ study

C.the importance of online social communication

D.the rapidly growing role of communication technologies

4.What’s the attitude of the author to the problem?

A.Approving. B.Optimistic. C.Anxious. D.Tolerant.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.
