Summer is the season to dive into new activities and relax. And right now is the time to make sure that you’re ready for the great outdoors, the holiday planning and travel, and the bathing suit beach days.
If you want to lose weight before summer, concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week. 1.And when you trouble yourself, sooner or later you，re going to gain it back. Operate on a 500-calorie-a-day deficit (亏损). 2. So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight, you’ll lose a pound a week right there.
Operating at a decrease of 500 calories a day should involve both eating less and moving more. For example, you could consume 300 fewer calories and bum 200 extra per day.
Include both healthy eating and exercise in your weight-loss plan, and break the 500-calorie goal into small groups to make it more reachable. 3.
To cut 100 calories: 4. Have vegetable pizza instead of pepperoni (意大利辣香肠). Use our Nutritional Needs Calculator to determine how many daily calories you should consume in order to lose, gain, or maintain your healthy goal weight. Once you’ve reached your goal, recalculate your nutritional needs for keeping extra weight off all summer long.
To burn 100 calories: spend 15 minutes biking. 5. Spend 20 minutes gardening. Keep on exercising at least 30 minutes daily a week. Reading food labels and counting calories or writing down what and when you eat can give you more control as well.
A. Here are some simple ways to get there.
B. Walk or run one mile.
C. A pound is 3,500 calories.
D. It is okay to have some snacks between your meals.
E. You should always make sure you get a lot of sleep.
F. Anything more than that usually means you’re troubling yourself.
G. Eat a chicken breast without the skin.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let the children learn from experiences at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving.Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.
A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
1.Giving an allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT_______.
A. how much the child should get each time
B. whether the child has made a budget
C. where the money really goes
D. how often a child can get it
2.The author of the passage holds the opinion that________.
A. what children learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the future
B. children can learn to set up their own business with their allowances
C. keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for children
D. it is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home
3.The underlined words “compound interest” in the passage probably means ________.
A. increasing curiosity to learn how to make more money
B. stronger power to hold one’s attention to saving money
C. money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from it
D. the sum of money that you earn from keeping your money in the bank
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children.
B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes.
C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children.
D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money.

Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he's changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.
The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it's not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he's just like other normal ones.
When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢)to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.
At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn't beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches(手杖) and from there a new burst of energy was found.
Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer program to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community.
“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he's been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to game，” his father said, “I just think it's a great result.”
1.This passage shows us a boy with one leg ________.
A. can do what a normal teenager can
B. is realizing as many dreams as he can
C. can make a sport event more valuable
D. can add value to society
2.We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A. Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team
B. it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town's soccer team
C. Calabria's parents didn't allow him to play soccer at first
D. there are some other disabled children in the soccer team
3.In Paragraph 5, the underlined part “a fixed event” probably means “________”.
A. a must-see
B. a planned program
C. an extra game
D. a special occasion
4.It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai's father ________.
A. has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccer
B. thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the team
C. is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the team
D. hasn't expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccer

Each year the Pritzker Architecture Prize (普立兹克建筑奖) goes to a star designer with a long list of attractive buildings around the world. This year’s winner is a little different.
Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert halls. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work: the temporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters.
Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper — cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surprised by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere.
“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more expensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a building material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the material easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t need heavy machines to work with
them.”
Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.
Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.
1.The author uses the first paragraph to .
A. raise an argument B. give an introduction
C. give an example D. offer a description
2.What is special about Shigeru Ban?
A. He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.
B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.
C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.
D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.
3.Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?
A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.
B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.
C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.
D. Because they are common and hard to break.
4.What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?
A. A new way of building houses by using wood.
B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.
C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.
D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.
