Ice,snow,water,penguins—the attractions of Antarctica.Thiscold,southernmost continent is an increasingly popular tourist destination.Its vast landscape of ice and snow,as well as its wildlife population,attracts nature-loving vacationers and some tourists who enjoy activities like cross-country skiing.Whatever the reason people come to Antarctica,they’recoming.And it’s causing some controversy(争论).
But before we get into that,let’s look at some facts about Antarctica.
Antarctica is a landmass located around the South Pole and it has more ice than any other place on the Earth.In fact,99.5 percent of its landmass is covered with ice.During arctic winter,the ice sheet covering the continent gets even bigger.Its shape is roughly round,with one arm reaching out toward South America.That is why many trips to Antarctica are via Argentina.
Even during its warmest period,Antarctica’s temperatures mostly stay below freezing.During the winter,they can drop to as low as minus 90 degrees Fahrenheit.The continent has little rain and its snow is dry and powdery(粉末状的).
Antarctica wasn’t even formally explored until the 19th century.Today,though,many scientists and researchers call Antarctica their temporary home,living in special facilities when they study the ecosystem and native life.
Since Antarctica has no human inhabitants,many nations have laid claim to it.However,the terms of the Antarctic Treaty state that the continent is reserved purely for scientific research.This also keeps Antarctica a war-free and nuclear-free zone.
For those visitors who aren’t conducting scientific research on the continent,what to see and do on this icy land

B.Antarctica is naturally unsuitable for humans.
C.People try to build buildings on Antarctica.
D.In the 19th century Antarctica began to be discovered.

Diets aren't the way to go when it comes to losing weight.Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. 1 Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits.Here are some ways to make that happen:
·Exercise.Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle — both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.Walking the family dog,cycling to school,and doing other things can all make a difference.If you want to burn more calories,increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercise to build muscle. 2
· 3 People who spend a lot of time watching TV,playing video games,and using computers are more likely to be overweight.Set reasonable limits on the amount of such time you spend.
· Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.Fruit and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals. 4 This means they fill you up.And when you fill up on fruit and veggies,you're less likely to overeat.
·Don't skip breakfast.Breakfast starts your metabolism(新陈代谢),burning calories from the beginning of the day and giving you energy to do more during the day.People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. 5 In fact,people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs(体重质量指数) than people who eat breakfast.
A.Set realistic goals.
B.Reduce screen time.
C.They're also rich in fiber(食物纤维).
D.So what's the best way to drop extra weight
E.The more muscle you have,the more calories you burn.
F.Thus they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast.
G.So choose smaller portions and go for water or low fat milk instead of soda.
