(C)
Many people who want to lose weight often choose to go on a diet. But is this really the best way With celebrities speaking about new diets that have helped them become slim in advertisements, more and more people are turning to dieting. Some shops begin to sell diet products such as diet milkshakes, snack bars and even diet pills. However, such popular products and diets are often found to be extremely unhealthy.
Most of these popular diets work by cutting down on a certain nutrient from your food intake. For example, some diets work by cutting down on carbohydrates (碳水化合物). This means the body must use its fat reserves for energy. This might help you lose weight. However, by cutting a particular food group out of your diet, you are staring your body of a nutrient that it needs, which could leave you feeling weak, tired or even bad-tempered. Besides, these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run.
Generally, one of the most effective ways of losing weight is to cut down on calories. The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500. If a man consumes more than 2,500 calories each day,then he is likely to gain weight. However, if he consumes less, then he is likely to lose weight.
In fact, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy, which is why they all should be included in your meals. Of course, some foods can be eaten in moderation as an occasional snack. For example, a bar of chocolate every once in a while won’t cause you any problems.
So, instead of spending money on popular diet pill or special weight loss foods, try to eat healthy balanced meals containing foods from all food groups. So, next time your friends tell you that they are going on a diet, tell them that eating a healthy balanced diet is a much better choice.
What is the authors opinion about the popular diets mentioned in the passage
A. They are useful for losing weight.
B. They are welcomed by celebrities.
C. They are not as healthy as people think.
D. They are replacing people’s everyday meals.
The underline phrase is closest in meaning to __________.
A. regularly B. reasonably C. immediately D.frequently
How can we lose weight effectively according to the author
A.By having diet pills. B. By following a strict diet
C. By taking regular exercise. D. By reducing calorie intake.
What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Diet products should be limited.
B. Snacking is a big no-no for heath.
C. Keeping a diet with various nutrient is ideal.
D. Going on a diet should be stopped immediately.
Section C(8)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Next, keep the room cool. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy. Visit your doctor if you have asleep problem. It doesn’t matter whether you get up or fall asleep again. Go to bed at he same time and wake up at the same time. A In the last hour before bed,try to stay away from all of those computer screens and phones.
We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the quantity and the quality of our sleep Here are four tips for better sleep.
Let’s start with regularity. ________72______ Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend or even if you’ve had a bad night of sleep. Many of us use an alarm to wake up but very few of us use a to-bed alarm, and that’s something that can be helpful.
______73______ It tuns out that your brain and your body need to drop their temperature by about 1℃ in order to begin sleep and then to stay asleep. And this is the reason that you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot.
The third tip is darkness. We need darkness specifically in the evening to produce a hormone called melatonin (褪黑素). ______74______ Turn off the lights in your room.You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel.
The final tip is to walk it out. Don’t stay in bed awake for long periods of time. And the general rule is that if you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes, the recommendation is to get out of bed. And you can go and do something else. ______75______ In that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep.
