Girls can easily get sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don’t be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down
A hug can make a difference in the word. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

Snowboarding gift Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday.
By cleanly circling back-to-back 1800 ticks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career — gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his outstanding Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his efforts worthwhile. “This feels so unreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to excellence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue (会场) hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
28. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arrived. B. Won. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
29. According to Su himself, what is the secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working
C. His passion for snowboarding D. His life dream of achieving success
30. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Outgoing and determined.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
31. What does Su think of his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful.
D
Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
32. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
33. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
34. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Gain Weight
B. How to Work Out Effectively
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain

Snowboarding gift Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday.
By cleanly circling back-to-back 1800 ticks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career — gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his outstanding Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his efforts worthwhile. “This feels so unreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to excellence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue (会场) hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
28. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arrived. B. Won. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
29. According to Su himself, what is the secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working
C. His passion for snowboarding D. His life dream of achieving success
30. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Outgoing and determined.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
31. What does Su think of his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful.

Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited—it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
32. What can we know from Dolgan’s words from paragraph 2
A. Your weight changes little during a day.
B. Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C. Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D. Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
33. What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A. You will weigh more.
B. Your muscle mass will decrease.
C. Your body fat will increase.
D. Your body composition will change.
34. How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A. 30 pounds. B. 60 pounds.
C. 100 pounds. D. 140 pounds.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Why Do We Gain Weight
B. How to Work Out Effectively
C. What Is the Composition of Our Body
D. Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食的同时，体重不降反增的原因。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句““A person’s scale mass (质量) is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says.(他说：“一个人的体表质量是肌肉、脂肪、骨头、血液，甚至是我们肺中携带的空气的组合。”)”可知，体重是肌肉、脂肪、骨骼、血液甚至肺里空气的质量总和。由此可推知，体重受多种因素影响。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease.(当你开始通过锻炼来改变你的身体组成——通过增加更多的肌肉量和减少体脂——你的体重可能会增加，而体脂率可能会降低。)”可推知，在坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后，最有可能发生的是你的身体组成会发生变化。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight(水大约占一个人体重的65%到90%)”可知，人体的含水量约占人体体重的65%到90%。由此可知，体重150磅的人体内含水量应在(150×65%=97.5)磅至(150×90%=135)磅之间。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Have you been exercising and eating healthy, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective”, says Jeffrey A. Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.(你是否一直在锻炼，饮食也很健康，但当你站在秤上时，秤上显示你胖了几磅？“这很正常，这并不意味着你的锻炼没有效果，”佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩的运动生理学家Jeffrey A. Dolgan说。)”和第二段的“Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent. So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.(在例行锻炼后，身体各个部位的质量百分比会立即发生15%的变化。所以，如果你在锻炼和健康饮食的同时体重增加，这可能不是你想的那种类型的体重增加。)”可知，文章主要分析了坚持锻炼并进行健康饮食后体重不降反增的原因。D项“Why Does My Workout Cause Weight Gain (为什么我锻炼后体重反而增加了？)”能概括文章主要内容，最适合作本文标题。故选D。

(了解你的价值观。找到你的价值观与创造动机是一致的。)”说明了解自己的价值观的重要性，选项C“坐下来，看看你最看重什么。”承接上文，介绍了解自己价值观的具体做法，引出下文“Pick a handful of things and write them down.

【40题详解】
设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the hope to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people are likely to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and go on. (当你冒险时，失败是无法避免的。根据它的定义，成功的希望意味着你冒着失败的风险。许多人可能会过早放弃。别掉进这个陷阱！使用失败。把它当作一件好事，然后继续。)”可知，要想成功，失败往往是不可避免的，因此不要因为失败而放弃。选项B“不要因为失败而放弃。”可以作为本段小标题。选项中failure和下文中Failure词汇重叠，语义一致。故选B项。
