A glass a day keeps obesity at bay.Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content,but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet.Looking at past studies they found that,while heavy drinkers do put on weight;those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says,“Light to moderate alcohol intake,especially of wine,may be more likely to protect against,rather than promote,weight gain”.The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions,particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston University’s Dr.Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制)relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood.His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),which relate to increasing obesity.Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat,and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods.They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks,taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese.What’s more,a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol,a compound present in grapes and red wine,destroys fat cells.

1.The passage is mainly for those__________.

A.who produce wine

B.who have a drinking habit

C. who go on a diet

D.who are eager to lose weight

2.The underlined phrase“in moderation”in the first paragraph means_________.

A.excitedly B.carefully C.properly D.frequently

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.

B.Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C.The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

D.The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A.How to do some easy experiments.

B.How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

C.How to make wine in a healthy way.

D.How to prove the finding mentioned above.

B

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs,the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.

Despite these worries,I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.

Determined to do this on my own ,I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However,I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.

One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised,and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.

As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later,he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

I was a little surprised,but had a good feeling about him,so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume(简历).The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking,and added that I should give him, a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day,I received:call from。store in Royal Oak offering me a job.

It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time,it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.
