W: Let me guess. He was taking pictures of the rocks
M: Almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything a person could know about clouds. He was a wealth of information. The amount of knowledge that Ansel had was important to me. However, it was the pure joy and love for teaching and appreciating photography that got me.
W: And now you own your own studio, you design clothing and will soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology.

Lanrick Jr. Bennett holds a unique title in Toronto: bicycle mayor. He led a Halloween Kidical Mass ride recently, which I attended with my daughter, son-in-law, their two dogs, and my granddaughter. He is working towards making cycling mainstream and safe for all residents in the city. I did not know that Toronto had a bicycle mayor; I surely would have voted for him in an election.
The bicycle mayor program is run by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based global NGO that believes “bicycles transform cities and cities transform the world”. Standing in the strange but wonderful Bentway, a park built under an elevated expressway, Bennett says, “BYCS has 150 bicycle mayors across the world. And through a few friends putting in some really nice letters of
encouragement, BYCS offered me a two-year term as an advocate here in the city of Toronto, becoming the first bicycle mayor of the city.”
Bennett says he is boosting the work being done to make cycling more mainstream in Toronto. “I am giving a bit more exposure to the great work that has allowed me to be able to ride a bike throughout the city. It’s getting better, we’re seeing more infrastructure (基础设施), and we’re seeing more people not wanting to depend on cars as their primary piece. I’m happy that I have been part of a fantastic group thus far,” says Bennett.
Since there’s still a lot of work to do, Lanrick Jr. Bennett has been working hard to improve cycling conditions in Toronto, and his efforts have been recognized by the community. He has been advocating for more bike lanes (车道), better lighting, and other safety measures to make cycling a practical option for commuters (通勤者). It’s great to see people like Lanrick.
Jr. Bennett working towards making cycling safe and accessible for all residents.

After a decade of negotiations, nearly 200 countries have agreed to a new United Nations treaty(条约)to protect the world’s oceans, the first of its kind in 40 years. The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to countless species of animals and plants. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely impinged on many marine (海洋的)species and ecosystems.
The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas” — the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country — but it did not protect them. The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. A marine protected area(MPA)is an area in the sea with strict rules about fishing and other activities. While
more and more countries have established MPAs in their waters, most are not connected, limiting their effectiveness for migratory(迁徙的)species.
Last December, over 110 countries committed to protecting 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030．The High Seas Treaty now enables the extension of this goal to the entire ocean. It aims to make 30% of the high seas become protected areas by 2030 and requires that proposed activities on the high seas undergo assessment for their potential impact on the ocean environment.
Reaching the agreement was challenging due to differing views on ocean protection among countries, such as limits on fishing or pollution. Disagreements also arose over sharing resources between rich and poor nations, with the latter seeking an assurance that resources benefit everyone, not just those in wealthy countries.
The treaty is not yet final and must be officially accepted at a UN meeting. Then it must be approved and signed by enough countries before it takes effect.
28．What is the main objective of the High Seas Treaty
A．To protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030．
B．To allow unrestricted fishing on the high seas.
C．To promote international tourism in marine areas.
D．To establish new shipping routes on the high seas.
29．What does the underlined phrase “impinged on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Exchanged. B．Assisted. C．Impacted. D．Defended.
30．What does Paragraph 3 highlight
A．Strict rules of a marine protected area.
B．Current measures to restrict overfishing.
C．The limited number of migratory species.
D．The lack of protection for the high seas.
31．What is the best title of the text
A．New Plans to Develop Marine Resources
B．A New UN Agreement to Preserve Open Oceans
C．The Treaty Officially Accepted at a UN Meeting
D．The Cooperation on Sharing Resources Equally
【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。该文章主要讲述了近200个国家达成共识，同意签署一项保护全球海洋的新《联合国条约》，这是40年来的首个类似协议。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.(《公海条约》旨在到2030年保护30%
的公海，并制定了一项保护这片广阔海域的计划。)”可知，这项名为《公海条约》的协议旨在到2030年保护30%的公海。故选A。
29．词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. (它们在维持地球健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。)”可知，海洋对维护地球健康至关重要。同时根据后文的“However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely…(然而，过度捕捞和来自船只和其他来源的污染已经严重……)”可知，此处表示转折，即过度捕捞和来自船只及其他来源的污染严重影响了许多海洋物种和生态系统。由此可猜测，画线词与C选项“Impacted.(影响)”为同义词。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas”—the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country—but it did not protect them. (1982年的最后一个重要的联合国海洋条约描述了“公海”——不受任何国家控制的海洋部分——但它并没有保护它们。)”以及“The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. (公海占海洋面积的三分之二，但目前只有1.2%的面积受到保护。)”可知，本段着重强调对公海保护的不足。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。通读整篇文章可知，本文介绍的是经过十年的谈判，近200个国家已同意一项新的联合国条约——《公海条约》，这个条约旨在到2030年保护30%的公海。B项“A New UN Agreement to Preserve Open Oceans(一项新的联合国保护开放海洋协议)”适合作为文章标题，故选B。
D
XZERO, “World’s Most Walkable City” Will Be Built in Kuwait
Do you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried you won’t be able to get around Plans have been released for the “world’s most walkable city”.
Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system.
UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is 13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete by 2034.
The central area is surrounded by a series of “hubs” (枢纽) , each dedicated to education, entertainment and medical facilities. The hubs will reduce the walking distances required of residents, while the homes are densely spaced to promote a connected community. The green-tech hub will promote a collaborative innovative environment in food, energy, water and water tech. The medical hub will feature an autism (自闭症) village, wellness center and clinics. The educational hub will feature a nursery, school and an institute, while the commercial hub will include indoor mall and flexible office space. The green landscape is designed with engineered
natural areas to provide a variation of habitats for wildlife as well as rain water harvesting, mitigating (和缓的) flooding, better air quality and cleaner water. The 1, 600 hectare development will provide 30, 000 residential units, as well as 30, 000 green jobs. These jobs will be created in the various hubs.
“The creation of sustainable cities that follow the highest standards of living with lowest impact on the environment is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity,” Baharsh Bagherian, the CEO of URB, said, “The heart of XZERO is the unique resilient (弹性的) landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity.”
XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco resort and eco lodges. “Edutainment” (寓教于乐型) facilities such as the utility park and nature conservation center are expected to transform the city into a unique visitor attraction.
32．What is XZERO intended to do
A．Better residents’ life. B．Save the limited energy.
C．Explore a challenging lifestyle. D．Strengthen the power of Kuwait.
33．What can we know from Paragraph 4
A．Wild animals can’t be found. B．The hubs are closely connected.
C．Only indoor mall is available. D．Residents have trouble finding a job.
34．What can be inferred from Baharsh Bagherian’s words
A．People have the right to say no to XZERO.
B．Many other countries are expected to follow suit.
C．XZERO will promote the development of tourism.
D．XZERO can benefit both humans and environment.
35．Which of the following best describes the impact of XZERO
A．Doubtful. B．Short-lived. C．Far-reaching. D．Unidentifiable.
【答案】32．A 33．B 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是说明文。描述了一个即将在科威特建设的名为“XZERO”的新型可持续城市的概念、规划、特点和预期影响。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段“Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system.(这个计划中的可持续社区被称为XZERO，它将为10万居民提供一种与自然平衡的零碳生活方式。所有的设施和家庭都将由100%的可再生能源供电，并将通过智能供水系统回收所有的水)”可知，XZERO旨在通过提供零碳排放的生活方式、100%可再生能源和智能水系统，来改善居民的生活，实现与自然平衡的生活方式。因此，XZERO
的意图是提高居民的生活质量。故选A项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation. 36 While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities, yoga can still raise your heart rate and help build muscle. Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout.
·Reduce stress and reduce pounds. Yoga helps deal with stress. 37 Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.
·Move well and eat well. 38 Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.
· 39 Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.
Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type. A 2021 study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle, restorative yoga versus a more vigorous type of yoga. 40 Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice.
A．Make weight loss last.
B．Learn about cognitive skills.
C．Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat.
D．Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does raise cortisol levels.
E．Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.
F．Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.
G．But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more.
【答案】36．G 37．C 38．E 39．A 40．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了瑜伽的作用和如何选择适合自己的瑜伽类型。
36．上文“Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation.(瑜伽在帮助改善平衡和灵活性、诱导平静和放松方面享有实至名归的声誉)”介绍了瑜伽的好处，但下文“While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities (虽然练瑜伽燃烧的卡路里可能不如跑步或其他高强度运动消耗的卡路里多)”指出瑜伽这项运动的不足，上下文语意之间有转折关系。G项“But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more. (但说到减肥，很多人认为其他类型的运动更有益)”起到承上启下
的作用，与上文构成转折关系，引出下文瑜伽与其它运动的比对，句中“other types of exercise”即下文中“ running or doing some other high-intensity activities”。上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
37．下文“Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.(瑜伽对身体的压力反应有影响，并减少与体重增加有关的化学物质的产生，如皮质醇，一种压力激素)”介绍瑜伽可以减少与体重增加有关的化学物质皮质醇，C项“Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat. (研究表明高水平的皮质醇会导致脂肪的增加)”说明了皮质醇与体重增加的关系，两个句子话题一致，且照应小标题中的主题“reduce pounds”。故选C项。
38．下文“Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.(参与瑜伽练习的人意识到，他们往往不仅注意他们吃了多少食物，而且还注意他们吃了什么类型的食物以及吃这些食物的影响。他们在瑜伽练习中意识到某些食物对他们身体的影响)”说明瑜伽会帮助瑜伽练习者留意到自己的饮食习惯和相关行为模式，进而帮助他们作出调整与改变，E项“Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.(瑜伽有助于打破旧的饮食习惯和相关的无意识行为模式)”是下文内容概括。故选E项。
39．设空处是段首小标题，根据下文“Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.(长期做瑜伽不仅可以帮助人们减肥，还可以增强认知能力，帮助人们保持体重。一项多年的研究调查了瑜伽保持减肥的可能性。研究结果表明，瑜伽可以通过提高对痛苦的耐受力、自我同情和更积极的情绪来帮助改善长期的减肥效果)”可知，本段主要讲瑜伽不但能帮助人们减肥，还能保持减肥效果。A项“Make weight loss last.(让减肥持续下去)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
40．上文“Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type.(瑜伽是一种非常合理的运动形式，但你必须选择正确的类型)”提出练习瑜伽要选择类型，F项“Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.(事实上，最好的瑜伽是适合你的练习，是你愿意坚持的练习)”给出选择的标准：适合你的练习，你愿意坚持的练习，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

56．考查非谓语动词。根据句子中的介词in可知，介词后跟动词的现在分词形式作宾语，故填shaping。

60．考查形容词。句意：这个列表是永无止境的。根据句意可知，此处应填形容词的形式作
表语，故填endless。
61．考查连词。固定搭配both…and…两者都……,本句中and连接两个形容词harmful和effective 故填and。
62．考查名词单复数。根据后面and poor decision making and outcomes中outcomes为复数形式，and连接并列名词issue（问题），为可数名词，所以用复数形式。故填issues。
63．考查被动语态。see的主语it指代的是peer pressure，两者为被动关系，且see在情态动词can后面，用动词原形，故填be seen。
64．考查副词。此处actual修饰动词affect，用副词形式，故填actually。
65．考查固定搭配。have an effect on/upon对……有影响。故填on/upon。

注意：续写词数应为150字左右。
Mrs Thompson, who was in her seventies, lived alone in her old house, with her children and grandchildren living far away in a big city. Every day, she would sit by her window, watching the world go by. Next to her house lived an eight-year-old boy named Sam. Sam seemed to be always busy. He would go to school, come home, do his homework, and then rush off to his part-time job at a local flower store. He was saving up to buy a new bike for traveling to and from school and his part-time job. His parents struggled with money, so Sam wanted to offer his help any way he could.
One day, Mrs Thompson noticed that Sam seemed sad. She called him over and asked, “You seem to be unhappy. What’s wrong, dear Is everything okay at school Do you need help with any of your homework ”
Sam hesitated, and then said, “I have a big test coming up, but I don’t have time to study. I have to work part-time at that flower store every day after school.”
Mrs Thompson thought for a moment. “How about this ” she offered. “I can help e over after school, and I’ll watch over you while you study. I can even make some snacks for you.”
Sam’s eyes lit up. “Really That would be very amazing, Mrs Thompson!”
And so, it began. Every day after school, Sam would come over to Mrs Thompson’s house.
She would prepare some delicious cookies or a sandwich for him, and quietly, he would sit at her old wooden table and study. Mrs Thompson would knit or read a book, occasionally helping Sam with a tough question.
As the days went by, Sam’s grades improved gradually. He and Mrs Thompson became close friends. They would talk about everything—from his dreams of going to college to her memories of her youth.

You reminded me of my own grandchildren I just wanted to help.” Sam hugged her tightly, tears in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered.
Years passed, and Sam went off to college. But he never forgot Mrs Thompson’s kindness. He would visit her during his holidays, bringing her gifts and telling her about his college life. One day, he came home with a big surprise. “I’ve been offered a job in the best hospital in the city!” he said joyfully. “And it’s all thanks to you, Mrs Thompson.” She smiled, pride shining in her eyes. “I always knew you could do it.” Sam became a successful doctor, but he always made time for Mrs Thompson. He took care of her in her old age, ensuring her good health with his medical knowledge.

Overseas Learning Programs for Students
The Somerset Yew Wah Classroom, UK, offers a distinctive English language and life education program tailored for Grade 6, Grade 8, and Grade 10 students. Established in 2006, the Somerset English learning and cultural center provides students with an authentic English environment experience. Located in a traditional English village in Somerset, Sibley’s Barn and the Knowle Hall campus offer students a unique setting for learning. The Knowle Hall campus, a newly renovated Victorian-era country house built on 15 acres of land in beautiful open parkland, was established in 2016. This program enhances students' self-confidence, independence, teamwork, and leadership skills, ultimately continuing to benefit them upon their return to China.
World Classroom
The World Classroom program is an extension of the project-based learning approach at the core of the Yew Wah educational model. It allows students to explore major cultures worldwide, including European, African, Middle Eastern, Pacific, and Anglo-American cultures. This immersive experience broadens students' perspectives, promotes critical thinking, and fosters an appreciation for diverse viewpoints, preparing them to thrive in an increasingly globalized world.
Experiencing China
The Experiencing China program offers secondary students the opportunity to delve into Chinese history and culture by visiting various regions of the country. This residential program not only deepens students' understanding of their own culture but also exposes them to firsthand cross-cultural experiences. Through these experiences, students develop critical thinking skills and cultivate an appreciation for different cultures, ultimately shaping them into global citizens with a commitment to serving their communities and society.
Trips and Excursions
Trips and excursions are integral to the students' learning journey, providing opportunities to expand their horizons, enrich their experiences, and strengthen their communication and problem-solving skills.

Lanrick Jr. Bennett holds a unique title in Toronto: bicycle mayor. He led a Halloween Kidical Mass ride recently, which I attended with my daughter, son-in-law, their two dogs, and my granddaughter. He is working towards making cycling mainstream and safe for all residents in the city. I did not know that Toronto had a bicycle mayor; I surely would have voted for him in an election.
The bicycle mayor program is run by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based global NGO that believes “bicycles transform cities and cities transform the world”. Standing in the strange but wonderful Bentway, a park built under an elevated expressway, Bennett says, “BYCS has 150 bicycle mayors across the world. And through a few friends putting in some really nice letters of encouragement, BYCS offered me a two-year term as an advocate here in the city of Toronto, becoming the first bicycle mayor of the city.”
Bennett says he is boosting the work being done to make cycling more mainstream in Toronto. “I am giving a bit more exposure to the great work that has allowed me to be able to ride a bike throughout the city. It’s getting better, we’re seeing more infrastructure (基础设施), and we’re seeing more people not wanting to depend on cars as their primary piece. I’m happy that I have been part of a fantastic group thus far,” says Bennett.
Since there’s still a lot of work to do, Lanrick Jr. Bennett has been working hard to improve cycling conditions in Toronto, and his efforts have been recognized by the community. He has been advocating for more bike lanes (车道), better lighting, and other safety measures to make cycling a practical option for commuters (通勤者). It’s great to see people like Lanrick.
Jr. Bennett working towards making cycling safe and accessible for all residents.

26．How does Bennett feel about his work

D．It is virtually non-existent, making Bennett’s job extremely important.

After a decade of negotiations, nearly 200 countries have agreed to a new United Nations treaty(条约)to protect the world’s oceans, the first of its kind in 40 years. The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030, setting a plan in motion to preserve this vast area.
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface and are home to countless species of animals and plants. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy planet. However, overfishing and pollution from ships and other sources have severely impinged on many marine (海洋的)species and ecosystems.
The last major UN sea treaty in 1982 described the “high seas” — the parts of the oceans that aren’t controlled by any country — but it did not protect them. The high seas, which account for two-thirds of the ocean, currently have only 1.2% of their massive area protected. A marine protected area(MPA)is an area in the sea with strict rules about fishing and other activities. While more and more countries have established MPAs in their waters, most are not connected, limiting their effectiveness for migratory(迁徙的)species.
Last December, over 110 countries committed to protecting 30% of their land and ocean areas by 2030．The High Seas Treaty now enables the extension of this goal to the entire ocean. It aims to make 30% of the high seas become protected areas by 2030 and requires that proposed activities on the high seas undergo assessment for their potential impact on the ocean environment.
Reaching the agreement was challenging due to differing views on ocean protection among countries, such as limits on fishing or pollution. Disagreements also arose over sharing resources
between rich and poor nations, with the latter seeking an assurance that resources benefit everyone, not just those in wealthy countries.
The treaty is not yet final and must be officially accepted at a UN meeting. Then it must be approved and signed by enough countries before it takes effect.
28．What is the main objective of the High Seas Treaty
A．To protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030．
B．To allow unrestricted fishing on the high seas.
C．To promote international tourism in marine areas.
D．To establish new shipping routes on the high seas.
29．What does the underlined phrase “impinged on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Exchanged. B．Assisted. C．Impacted. D．Defended.
30．What does Paragraph 3 highlight
A．Strict rules of a marine protected area.
B．Current measures to restrict overfishing.
C．The limited number of migratory species.
D．The lack of protection for the high seas.
31．What is the best title of the text
A．New Plans to Develop Marine Resources
B．A New UN Agreement to Preserve Open Oceans
C．The Treaty Officially Accepted at a UN Meeting
D．The Cooperation on Sharing Resources Equally

Do you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried you won’t be able to get around Plans have been released for the “world’s most walkable city”.
Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system.
UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is 13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete by 2034.
The central area is surrounded by a series of “hubs” (枢纽) , each dedicated to education, entertainment and medical facilities.

The green landscape is designed with engineered natural areas to provide a variation of habitats for wildlife as well as rain water harvesting, mitigating (和缓的) flooding, better air quality and cleaner water. The 1, 600 hectare development will provide 30, 000 residential units, as well as 30, 000 green jobs. These jobs will be created in the various hubs.
“The creation of sustainable cities that follow the highest standards of living with lowest impact on the environment is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity,” Baharsh Bagherian, the CEO of URB, said, “The heart of XZERO is the unique resilient (弹性的) landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity.”
XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco resort and eco lodges. “Edutainment” (寓教于乐型) facilities such as the utility park and nature conservation center are expected to transform the city into a unique visitor attraction.
32．What is XZERO intended to do

Yoga has a well-deserved reputation for helping improve balance and flexibility and for inducing calm and relaxation. 36 While you might not burn as many calories by practicing yoga as you would by running or doing some other high-intensity activities, yoga can still raise your heart rate and help build muscle. Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body
and mind workout.
·Reduce stress and reduce pounds. Yoga helps deal with stress. 37 Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of chemicals linked to weight gain, such as cortisol (皮质醇), a stress hormone.
·Move well and eat well. 38 Participants involved in yoga practice realize that they tend to notice not only the amount of food they eat, but also what type of foods they eat and the impact of eating those foods. They become aware of the effect of certain foods on their bodies during their yoga practice.
· 39 Doing yoga long term not only can help people lose weight but also can strengthen cognitive skills to help keep it off. A multiyear study examines the possibility of yoga maintaining weight loss. Its findings suggest that yoga may help to improve long-term weight loss outcomes via improvements in distress tolerance, self-compassion and a more positive mood.
Yoga is a very reasonable form of exercise, but you have to choose the right type. A 2021 study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle, restorative yoga versus a more vigorous type of yoga. 40 Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice.
A．Make weight loss last.
B．Learn about cognitive skills.
C．Studies show that high levels of cortisol can lead to an increase in fat.
D．Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does raise cortisol levels.
E．Yoga helps break old dietary habits and related unconscious patterns of behavior.
F．Actually, the best yoga is the practice that fits for you — the one you’ll commit to.
G．But as for weight loss, many people assume other types of exercise will benefit more.

Mrs Thompson, who was in her seventies, lived alone in her old house, with her children and grandchildren living far away in a big city. Every day, she would sit by her window, watching the world go by. Next to her house lived an eight-year-old boy named Sam. Sam seemed to be always busy. He would go to school, come home, do his homework, and then rush off to his
part-time job at a local flower store. He was saving up to buy a new bike for traveling to and from school and his part-time job. His parents struggled with money, so Sam wanted to offer his help any way he could.
One day, Mrs Thompson noticed that Sam seemed sad. She called him over and asked, “You seem to be unhappy. What’s wrong, dear Is everything okay at school Do you need help with any of your homework ”
Sam hesitated, and then said, “I have a big test coming up, but I don’t have time to study. I have to work part-time at that flower store every day after school.”
Mrs Thompson thought for a moment. “How about this ” she offered. “I can help e over after school, and I’ll watch over you while you study. I can even make some snacks for you.”
Sam’s eyes lit up. “Really That would be very amazing, Mrs Thompson!”
And so, it began. Every day after school, Sam would come over to Mrs Thompson’s house. She would prepare some delicious cookies or a sandwich for him, and quietly, he would sit at her old wooden table and study. Mrs Thompson would knit or read a book, occasionally helping Sam with a tough question.
As the days went by, Sam’s grades improved gradually. He and Mrs Thompson became close friends. They would talk about everything—from his dreams of going to college to her memories of her youth.
