This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that lean people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.
1. Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲) forward until you feel sore in your back. It will burn about 10 calories.
2. Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
3. An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
4. Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

Oct 15th was International White Cane Safety Day. You may have never heard of it, but it was a day to remember for Peng Baier, 17, of Nanjing Foreign Language School. After school that day, he visited his local Disabled Persons’ Federation. He wanted to know about the sales and feedback of his newly published book, How to Help a Disabled Person.
Since he lives with his disabled grandparents, he understands that life can be hard for this group of people. Peng decided to write the book because he wanted to create a better life for disabled people in China.
“Crossing the street is a big problem for them,” Peng said. “Speeding cars, people walking in a hurry, bikes on the sidewalk for the blind—accidents can happen everywhere. That’s why we hardly ever see disabled people on the street, even though there are millions of disabled people in China.”
Peng’s book with pictures is easy to understand. It is a guide to the right and wrong ways to treat disabled people.
The teenager had 2,000 copies of his book printed. With the help of the Disabled Persons’ Federation, he gave them to the disabled community.
“The book is bilingual, so foreigners can also use it,” said Peng.
Peng put great effort into the book. For example, he interviewed many disabled people to get first-hand materials. He also studied textbooks from different schools for the disabled. Peng finally completed his handbook, but he still had the problem of getting it printed.
How does a high school student raise money needed for that?
With a smile, Peng said how he went about it, “I visited three local companies, dressed up in a suit and tie. I was lucky. The companies were warm-hearted and willing to give me a hand.”
5. Why is Peng able to understand the hard life of the disabled?
A. He was born disabled.
B. He has a disabled friend.
C. He lives with his disabled grandparents.
D. He once read a book about the disabled.
6. What did Peng do to write his book?
a. Raise the money needed.
b. Give away his pocket money.
c. Interview many disabled people.
d. Study textbooks for the disabled.
A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. a, c, d D. b, c, d
7. What does the underlined word “bilingual” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Written in two languages.
B. Using different pictures.
C. Very easy to understand.
D. Much popular around the world.
8. Which of the following best describes Peng?
A. Patient and honest. B. Brave and confident.
C. Kind and helpful. D. Friendly and lovely.

Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
It’s no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak (皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season, so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is usually very crowded with visitors in July and August, but the Greek mealtime winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is good value in September, but even better a month later.
Aeolian Islands, Italy
Sicily’s beautiful seven islands often attract Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don’t miss Panarea, where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.
St Tropez, France
St Tropez in high season is full, but come at the end of August, and you can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It’s also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse’s Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay (海湾) in St Maxime.
1. Where can you go if you are interested in historic buildings?
A. Mykonos, Greece. B. St Tropez, France.
C. Aeolian Islands, Italy. D. Dalmatian Coast, Croatia.
2. When is the best time to stay in the Grace Mykonos?
A. In July. B. In August.
C. In September. D. In October.
3. Why does the author say September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands?
A. There are fewer tourists.
B. The weather is quite good.
C. There is a chance to meet stars.
D. Green can be seen everywhere.
4. Which of the following best describes St Tropez at the end of August?
A. Hot. B. Quiet.
C. Busy. D. Green.

The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
5. What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Playing an important role.
B. Keeping people in high spirits.
C. Influencing other people easily.
D. Preventing illness from spreading.
6. What can laughter increase according to the author?
A. Cognitive ability. B. Good relationships.
C. A sense of humor. D. Happiness and trust.
7. What does the author think the old should do?
A. Have a good rest. B. Play like children.
C. Prevent cognitive falling. D. Take part in physical play.
8. What is the best title for the text?
A. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health
B. Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C. Have an Active and Happy Life
D. Let Our Body and Mind Relax

We are what we eat. That is an old expression, but one worth knowing. A recent look at diets around the world shows that people who eat healthy food—and not too much of it—live longer. But which areas of the world have the best diets? Researchers found that foods in some of the healthiest diets—Mediterranean diet, New Nordic diet, Japanese diet and French diet—may be very different, but they are all heavy on local and seasonal foods, which include more vegetables and seafood and less red meat.
Mediterranean diet contains lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil. The diet has proper amounts of fish and poultry (家禽肉). Red meat and foods high in sugar and salt are not big parts of this diet.
New Nordic diet has whole grains like oats and rye, vegetables such as carrots, broccoli and eggs, seafood, fruits, oil, low-fat milk and cheese. Sugary desserts are not common in this diet.
Japanese people are some of the longest living people on the planet, with women up to 87 years old and men up to 80. The Japanese diet is the reason for such lengths of life. The diet has many foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients. Japanese people eat a lot of seaweed, tofu, rice, vegetables and fish. The tradition there is to stop eating when your stomach feels 80 percent full.
However, French people eat fatty foods but do not get fat. And they live a long time. This phenomenon (现象) is called the “French Paradox”. The reason why the French eat fatty foods without getting fat may be simple. They eat less. Serving sizes in French restaurants and of products sold in stores are smaller than those in most countries. And generally speaking, most French people do not snack. This means they do not eat food between meals.
1. What do we know about the healthiest diets around the world according to Paragraph 1?
A. They tend to be expensive.
B. They contain lower calories.
C. They stand for popular tastes.
D. They share certain similarities.
2. What might be considered as a harmful eating habit in Japanese tradition?
A. Going high in calories. B. Eating to the fullest.
C. Having much seafood. D. Picking many foods.
3. How does the author develop the idea of the text?
A. By building connections. B. By giving reasons.
C. By listing examples. D. By making comparison.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Is the Healthiest Diet on Earth?
B. How Does the Old Expression Serve?
C. Why Is a Healthy Diet So Important?
D. Where Can We Feed Ourselves Well?
