【题目】 Healthy eating is not just what you eat, but how you eat. Here are some tips for you:

Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous benefits, especially for children. 1 Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.

Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. 2 We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to enjoy the flavor and feel the taste of what is in our mouths.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. 3 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.

4 A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism( 新陈代谢), and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day(rather than the standard three large meals)keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.

Avoid eating at night. 5 And then don’t eat for 12-14 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive(消化的)system a long break each day may help to keep fit.

A. Drink plenty of water.

B. Try to have dinner earlier. C. Be careful when eating out.

D. Eat your food slowly, tasting every bite.

E. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full.

F. It allows you to follow others’ healthy eating habits.

G. Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day.

【题目】Tips for Cycle Trips

Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel. Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.

Distance

On level terrain(地形), without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day. Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit. For many, 80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.

Geography

The gradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your range. A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time. In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill. A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.

Eat

Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it’s important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns, there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.

Sleep

While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar place, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.

1Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?

A.90km.B.50km.

C.130km.D.250km.

2What can we learn from the passage?

A.Cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy.

B.Hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists.

C.High quality food is easy to get on long trips.

D.It takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 10m of altitude.

3Where can we probably read this passage?

A.In a geography book.B.In a research report.

C.In a travel magazine.D.In a science fiction.
