Ways to Burn More Calories
Run through water
Running in water is one of the toughest activities you can perform because the wet stuff is about 12 to 15 times as resistant（具有阻力的）as air．Try your hardest to run and you can burn about 17 calories per minute．
Start fast
Don’t be fooled — slow and steady will not win the race．A recent study found that after a short warm-up，cyclists who rode hard during the first half of their workouts and then slowed for the second half burned about 10 percent more calories than those who started slow and finished fast．
Take to the sand
Here is some easy-to-remember advice on burning calories: the softer the surface，the more you burn．By walking or running on the beach，you can use up 20 to 50 percent more calories than you do going at the same pace on a hard trail．
Shut up and dance
Here is the perfect excuse to sign up for that hip-hop dance class you have been eager to try．Surprising your body with new activities — dance，a new sport，you name it — forces it to work harder because it’s doing unfamiliar movements and using muscle groups in different ways．
Use your arms
Getting both your upper and lower body involved can provide a big calorie-burning advantage．So if you are short of time or want to get everything you can out of your usual 45-minute workout，try total-body activities. You can evenng your arms as hard as you can while you walk．
59．How can water help you burn more calories?
A．By pushing your body． B．By wetting your clothes and shoes．
C．By forcing you to run father． D．By forcing your body to work harder．
60．What does “it” in Part 4 refer to?

Something big is happening to the human race, something that could be called the Great Transformation.
The Transformation consists of all the changes that are occurring in human life due to advancing technology. For thousands of years such progress occurred slowly. Now everything is changing so fast that you may find yourself wondering where all this progress is really leading.
Nobody knows what all these changes will really mean in the long run. But this mysterious Transformation is the biggest story of all times. It is the story of the human race itself.
Some people worry about what will happen when the deposits(蕴藏)of petroleum are gone, but already researchers are finding all kinds of new ways to get energy. Someday, solar power collected by satellites circling the earth or fission(裂变) power produced by mankind may give us all the energy we need for an expanding civilization(文明).Space exploraton promises to open up much new land for human settlement, as well as leading to the harvest of mineral resources.
Like it or not, our advancing technology has made us masters of the earth. We not only control all th
e other animals, but also reshape the world’s plant life and even its soil and rocks, its waters and surrounding air.
Technology gives us the power to build a great new civilizaion, if we can just agee on what we want it to be, bu today, there is little global agreement on goals and how we should achieve them.
So it remanins to be seen what will happen as a result of our technology. Pessimists
(悲观主义者) worry that we will use the technology eventually to blow ourselves up. But they have been saying that for decades, and so far we have escaped. Whether we will continue to do so remains unknown, but we can continue to hope.
68.The Great Transformation is caused by ________.
A. changes in human life B.the development of science and technology
C. space exploration D. unknown reasons
69.Today it is impossible for people to build a remarkable new civilization because __________. A.nobody is optimistic about the future
B.human beings aare unabale to do so
C.people diagree with each other in many ways
D.people are worried too much
70.Advancing technology could possibly make us_______.
