Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: You might be in a state of sub-health (亚健康).
Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation(焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.

Eating a big breakfast could help you burn double the amount of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner.
It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady, researchers at Lübeck University in Germany said. Their study found filling up in the morning boosts a metabolism (新陈代谢) process known as diet-induced thermogenesis(DIT). DIT refers to the number of calories the body expends to heat the body and digest food. It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner. On the other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite(食欲), especially for sweets, the researchers admitted.
The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism were based on a laboratory experiment of 16 men. They consumed a low and high calorie breakfast and dinner one day—and then vice versa (反过来) on another. The study also showed increases in blood sugar and insulin concentrations, caused by eating a meal, was reduced after breakfast, but not so much after dinner. The results also showed eating a low-calorie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. This suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more.
The study adds to increasing evidence that the best way of losing weight is to eat your largest meal in the morning—and your smallest in the evening. Dr Richter, a neurobiologist at Lübeck University, said, “Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent obesity(肥胖) and high blood sugar. ” Both obesity and high blood sugar can lead to many life-threatening illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous research has shown DIT is lower in people with obesity. It’s seen as a measure of how well our metabolism is working.
DIT can differ depending on mealtime and is generally slower in the evening and at night due to our body clocks. Dr Richter said, “We recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases. ”
Professor Daniela Jakubowicz, author of The Big Breakfast Diet, found that those who piled on the calories in the morning were more likely to feel satisfied, preventing snacking throughout the day. And another study by Professor Jakubowicz found that eating chocolate in the morning, when our metabolism is at its highest, prevented desires for sweet things later on.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。研究发现吃一顿丰盛的早餐比吃一顿丰盛的晚餐能帮助你燃烧双倍的卡路里。文章介绍了研究过程, 以及这项研究的一些发现和其他人对此的看法。
28. We can learn from the passage that DIT
A. is usually slower in the evening than during the daytime.
B. refers to the number of calories needed to heat the body.
C. has been found by the researchers in a Germany university.
D. may become twice lower when people eat a big breakfast.
【解析】选A。 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中DIT can differ depending on mealtime and is generally slower in the evening and at night due to our body clocks. 可知根据进餐时间的不同, DIT也会有所不同, 通常在傍晚和晚上, 由于我们的生物钟, DIT会更慢。由此可知, DIT晚上的速度通常比白天要慢。故选A。
29. According to the study, eating a high-calorie breakfast can .
A. cause diabetes B. lead to obesity
C. keep appetite D. lower blood sugar
【解析】选D。 细节理解题。根据第三段中第二、三句可知他们一天吃低卡路里的早餐和高卡路里的晚餐, 另一天则相反。该研究还表明, 由进食引起的血糖和胰岛素浓度的升高在早餐后有所降低, 但在晚餐后就不那么明显了。由此可知, 根据这项研究, 吃高热量的早餐可以降低血糖。故选D。
30. What are the findings of the study conducted by the researchers at Lübeck University based on
A. The observation of blood sugar changes.
B. Basic theories about diet-induced thermogenesis.
C. The data collected from a laboratory experiment.
D. Different experiments on people with different appetite.
【解析】选C。 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知该研究结果发表在《临床内分泌学与代谢杂志》上, 是基于对16名男性的实验室实验得出的。由此可推知, Lübeck University研究人员的研究结果是基于从实验室实验中收集的数据。故选C。
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. DIT: lower in the morning or evening
B. A low or high calorie dinner
C. A big breakfast, or a large dinner
D. Less calories, better health
【解析】选C 。主旨大意题。根据第一段可知吃一顿丰盛的早餐比吃一顿丰盛的晚餐能帮助你燃烧双倍的卡路里。结合文章说明了德国Lübeck University的研究人员称, 一顿丰盛的早餐可能是减肥同时保持血糖水平稳定的关键, 还指出低卡路里早餐会增加食欲。文章介绍了研究过程, 以及这项研究的一些发现和其他人对此的看法。由此可知, C选项“丰盛的早餐还是丰盛的晚餐 ”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Earlier this month, 6-year-old Isaac went on vacation to Fort Walton, Florida, with his family. While they were there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏).
At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, ‘Is this OK ‘” Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of eating at a restaurant. “That look on his face was like, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done, ‘” Garrett added.
Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It’s not fun and it feels unfair, ” she said.
Their night at LuLu marked a celebration for Isaac. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurant’s Facebook page. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving Isaac this wonderful experience, ” she wrote in her post.
Barnett, the restaurant’s manager, said, “When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I assist with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring it’s cooked in a separate station and delivering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the past ten years since our allergy program was started. ”
On Garrett’s Facebook post, LuLu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. “Thank you for sharing your experience with us, ” the restaurant wrote in a comment, “We are excited to see your son so happy! ” Garrett is hoping her post’s popularity will persuade other restaurants to be more considerate. “LuLu takes it seriously as we take it—nothing could make us happier than that, ” she said.

38 If someone tells them that he has just returned from a vacation in Iceland, they don’t think the person is showing off(炫耀). 39 Rather than just asking how much it cost or what the food was like, they’ll ask whether they chose to go because they’re interested in Viking history, for example.

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, slow down instead of 41 . Apply these 42 in your everyday life, and you will find yourself being on your journey to simplification.
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 43 that you didn’t even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair (牲畜市场) and you have to 44 two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep 45 one and then the other, it will take a long time, 46 one of them will keep slipping out of your hand and 47 . But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your 48 , make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back, get 49 one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, and then you can be sure of success.
The stress of work is now 50 almost in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family, the stress that formerly would have been 51 among all the relatives is now 52 on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day is not 53 , then it’s not because the day has too 54 hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that 55 people tend to forget. The 56 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many assignments.
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given more — until one day they 57 . Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can 58 . These signs come from various 59 of life. You are ill, or your work efficiency is 60 .
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say openly, “I can’t manage that. ”

There are many people think that wealth is better than health. I used to think so until one day I had read a story about Howard Joyce. He was an European billionaire who got everything he wanted. Therefore, twenty years ago, his health began to get worse and he led a terribly life. Although the best doctors were called for him, he could still find no relief.
I have realized that health worth all the money in the world. If you have million of dollars but you are at poor health, you will not be able to do what you want to do. So I would like to advise you not to hurt yourself to making money. Instead, take care of your body and be happy with everything which you do. Health is more important.
【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者从Howard Joyce虽然很富有, 但是身体不健康, 因此过着糟糕的生活的故事中, 领悟到健康比财富更重要。
1. 【解析】第一句中think→thinking。 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知think在句中应用非谓语动词形式, 与逻辑主语people构成主动关系, 故用现在分词。故think改为thinking。
2. 【解析】第二句中去掉had 。考查动词时态。根据上文one day可知此处应该用一般过去时。故去掉had。
3. 【解析】第三句中an→a。考查冠词。此处billionaire为可数名词, 表泛指应用不定冠词, 且European的读音是以辅音音素开头, 故此处不定冠词应该用a。故an改为a。
4. 【解析】第四句中Therefore→However。考查副词。句意: 然而, 20年前, 他的健康开始恶化, 他过着糟糕的生活。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系, 故应用连接副词however。句首字母要大写。故Therefore改为However。
5. 【解析】第四句中terribly→terrible。考查形容词。修饰后文名词life应用形容词terrible, 表示“糟糕的”。故terribly改为terrible。
6. 【解析】第六句中worth前添加is 。考查动词时态。be worth表示“价值相当, 值得”, worth没有动词词性, 不能作谓语, 且此处陈述客观事实应用一般现在时, 主语为health, 故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故worth前添加is。
7. 【解析】第七句中million→millions。考查名词复数。表示“数百万的”短语为millions of。故million改为millions。
8. 【解析】第七句中at→in。考查介词。结合句意表示“身体不好”短语为in poor health。故at改为in。
9. 【解析】第八句中making→make。考查非谓语动词。根据前面有不定式to可知此处为不定式作目的状语, 故make应该用动词原形。故making改为make。
10. 【解析】第九句中which→that或者删除which。考查关系代词。分析句子结构, 此句为定语从句, 先行词为everything, 在定语从句中作宾语, 所以关系代词为that或者删除which。故which改为that或者删除which。

Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.
It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing your unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.
Yours,
Berry

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: You might be in a state of sub-health (亚健康).
Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation(焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.
24. Middle-aged people may be easy to feel sub-healthy because .
A. they have used up their energy
B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work
D. they begin to get older
25. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is that you should .
A. work hard B. sleep more
C. form good living habits D. take more medicine
26. As for food, experts suggested that .
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt and sugar
27. The underlined word “alternate” in the sixth paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.

Eating a big breakfast could help you burn double the amount of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner.
It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady, researchers at Lübeck University in Germany said. Their study found filling up in the morning boosts a metabolism (新陈代谢) process known as diet-induced thermogenesis(DIT). DIT refers to the number of calories the body expends to heat the body and digest food. It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner. On the other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite(食欲), especially for sweets, the researchers admitted.
The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism were based on a laboratory experiment of 16 men. They consumed a low and high calorie breakfast and dinner one day—and then vice versa (反过来) on another. The study also showed increases in blood sugar and insulin concentrations, caused by eating a meal, was reduced after breakfast, but not so much after dinner. The results also showed eating a low-calorie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. This suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more.
The study adds to increasing evidence that the best way of losing weight is to eat your largest meal in the morning—and your smallest in the evening. Dr Richter, a neurobiologist at Lübeck University, said, “Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent obesity(肥胖) and high blood sugar. ” Both obesity and high blood sugar can lead to many life-threatening illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous research has shown DIT is lower in people with obesity. It’s seen as a measure of how well our metabolism is working.
DIT can differ depending on mealtime and is generally slower in the evening and at night due to our body clocks. Dr Richter said, “We recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases. ”
Professor Daniela Jakubowicz, author of The Big Breakfast Diet, found that those who piled on the calories in the morning were more likely to feel satisfied, preventing snacking throughout the day. And another study by Professor Jakubowicz found that eating chocolate in the morning, when our metabolism is at its highest, prevented desires for sweet things later on.
28. We can learn from the passage that DIT
A. is usually slower in the evening than during the daytime.
B. refers to the number of calories needed to heat the body.
C. has been found by the researchers in a Germany university.
D. may become twice lower when people eat a big breakfast.
29. According to the study, eating a high-calorie breakfast can .
A. cause diabetes B. lead to obesity
C. keep appetite D. lower blood sugar
30. What are the findings of the study conducted by the researchers at Lübeck University based on
A. The observation of blood sugar changes.
B. Basic theories about diet-induced thermogenesis.
C. The data collected from a laboratory experiment.
D. Different experiments on people with different appetite.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. DIT: lower in the morning or evening
B. A low or high calorie dinner
C. A big breakfast, or a large dinner
D. Less calories, better health

Earlier this month, 6-year-old Isaac went on vacation to Fort Walton, Florida, with his family. While they were there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏).
At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, ‘Is this OK ‘” Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of eating at a restaurant. “That look on his face was like, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done, ‘” Garrett added.
Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It’s not fun and it feels unfair, ” she said.

Charming people openly accept their imperfections. 40 They just recognize themselves for what they truly are. And if they fall over during a job interview, they will say, “Oh God, I made such a fool of myself today. ” They will shake their head, laugh and then tell you what happened.
