B
In an age in which everyone wants to be fit and beautiful, it might come as a surprise that
new research shows that exercise is in fact what is stopping us losing weight.
The survey conducted by the Weight-loss and Health Institute (WHI) asked over 1,000
Australians whether their exercise and weight-loss methods were effective. More than half of them
admitted that while they exercised, they couldn’t reach their weight-loss goals. The biggest reason
the WHI found that was leading to the failure in weight loss was the direct link between strenuous
(
剧烈的
) exercise and the need to “reward” or “treat” yourself after your workout.
Results also show that those who exercise only to lose weight will pay no attention to their
diet, with 53 percent admitting they actually eat more after exercising and 41 percent rewarding
themselves with sugary treats after. Geoff Jowett, an Australian weight-loss coach, says this is one
of the most common reasons why exercise is leading to weight gain. “What happens is they do
exercise and then eat a piece of cake, which means they can become fit and fat at the same time,”
he added.
A study recently conducted by Arizona State University also found similar results when they
studied the effects of strenuous exercise on overweight women. The researchers asked 81 women
who always sat for a long time in their work to attend a 12-week exercise program. They were also
asked not to change their diet. The end result found that while they were fitter after twelve weeks,
they also were fatter. There was no noticeable weight loss among the group and almost 70 percent
of the women had piled on some fat during the program.
Jowett says the important thing we should notice is that fitness and weight loss are two ball
games. He believes it’s a 80/20 ratio with 80 percent being about what we eat and 20 percent
exercise.
So what can be regarded as strenuous exercise? “A walk is good because you can still talk,
but if you’re doing exercise like running, cycling and swimming, it won’t be good for weight
loss,” Jowett added.
Jowett also notes that the exercise on the TV show The Biggest Loser is not suitable for
people who are obviously overweight because it may cause injury, and workouts like running are
too strenuous for the body and lead to hunger which results in sugar need and weight gain.
The solution Jowett believes is to separate fitness and weight loss. Deal with the weight
problem first by eating healthily and then take 10,000 steps a day.
As for whether exercise is necessary at all, Jowett says if it’s to drop kilos, forget about it.
39. The underlined phrase “piled on” in Para.4. means “_______”.
A. used B. given C. lost D. gained
40. Which of the following exercise is suitable for overweight people?
A. Running. B. Cycling. C. Walking. D. Swimming.
41. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The exercise on The Biggest Loser is strenuous.
B. All people tend to eat sugary snacks after working out.
C. Taking strenuous exercise is harmful to your health.
D. Exercise plays a more important role in weight loss than diet.
42. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Lose weight to keep fit. B. How to achieve weight loss.
C. Exercise may cause weight gain. D. How to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Jack Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington. He inherited(

have to. Jack decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He gave $ 10,000 of his

shoes and clothes and drives a small car only, but he is very happy.
Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them
each $ 200 a month. The money was used for the children's study, food, medicine and clothing.
Jack receives a report each year on the children's progress. They can write to each other, but
usually the children do not speak English.

said,"Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn't know anything
about their life."
Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. "When I
met her, I felt very, very happy." he said. "And I saw that the money was used for a good cause. It
brought me happiness. I want to do everything I can to go on helping those children."

Why you should celebrate your mistakes
When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the
world. Because in some ways, it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get
mad at ourselves.
And that’s only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad,
and we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home,
school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about
mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes
should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They
make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.[

By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we
have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make
works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn: We don’t just consume information about something and instantly
know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer
programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you
get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing
usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real
world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your realworld
experimentation...and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty
much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn
as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something,
it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that
success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is
made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes.
They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
47. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?
A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.
C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.
D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.
48. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?
A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
49. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. a small child learning to walk
B. a kindergarten child learning to draw
C. a primary pupil learning to read
D. a school teenager learning to write
50. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. most of us can really grow from success
B. growing and improving are based on mistakes
C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

March 22, 2011---Most restaurants in the United States offer their customers a glass of tap
water at no charge with their meal, but this week many restaurants are asking diners to pay a
dollar, or more, for a glass of water. Cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps
bring clean water to children around the world. It’s called the UNICEF Tap Project.
“
UNICEF’s Tap Project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900
million people around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,” says
Cary Stem, who heads the US Fund for UNICEF. She adds that water-borne illness is the second-
highest cause of preventable childhood death in the world.
“
Each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they don’t have that
access ---- 4,100 every single day.”[

The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistics with a simple,
affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.
“
One dollar buys enough good, clean water for a child for 40 days,” Stem says.
“
The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in New
York City. This year, Stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the
campaign. We raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says Stem.
“Last year, we raised over $1 million for the first time. This year we’re hoping to top that.”
Stem owes the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the
tap project and raise money in their communities.
The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water,
give water. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve
access to safe water and sanitation facilities (
卫生设备
) in schools and communities.
Stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more Americans will realize that what they
often take for granted is a precious and rare resource in many other parts of the world.

I do my best to get as much knowledge as possible. I make it a rule to go to the
computer room once a week and work there an hour or so. I go to the library regularly and
spend some time there reading various books. I take part in occasional visits to all sorts of
museums and learn a lot from the activities.
May there always be colourful life around my school!
