“When you took away her stretch marks (妊娠纹), you took away the documentation of my children. When you took away her wrinkles, you took away over two decades of our laughter and our worries.”

“Seeing these images made me realize that I honestly do not tell my wife enough how much I love her. She thought these photoshopped images are what I want her to look like. I have to do better, and for the rest of my days I’m going to celebrate her in all her imperfections.”

【题目】Science has just proven what we’ve suspected all along that sitting at a desk all day could be making us fat.According to a new study women who work in an office are consuming a shocking 100,030 extra calories in snacks every year—which can add up to a terrifying two stone in weight gain.Yikes!

The research quizzed 1,000 women who work in offices and revealed that on a typical working day women prefer to have at least three snacks,which adds up to almost 500 calories.

Crisps were named as the top weak point of female workers,with an average of 135 bags eaten at work annually and 45 per cent of those surveyed admitting to having “hidden” food personally in the office.Unsurprisingly biscuits were also a favorite desk snack with 39%admitting to hiding away packets of biscuits and the average woman dipping 135 biscuits in their tea every year.Office“cake culture’’ likely has a role to play in the ninety slices of cake women are wolfing down each year.The study also revealed we’re indulging(放纵)our sweet tooth by ploughing through 90 packets of sweets and 45 doughnuts throughout the working year.

Just over a fifth of female workers admit they have absolutely no willpower when it comes to office treats,while three in ten say they eat the food purely because it's there.Women also mentioned being bored,tired or stressed as common reasons for them to eat more in the office.

The survey revealed that so-called “low fat’’ treats are actually adding to that yearly calorific total,with the average female employee consuming 45 packets of high-fat nuts and another 45 bags of sugary dried fruits,every year.The most popular times to reach for a snack are 10:30 am and 3:30 pm,with 48% of women saying they are always too hungry to wait until lunch.Women also admitted sugary coffees and energy drinks help get them through the day.

1How did the researchers find the result of their study?

A. They found it met their expectation. B. They felt confused and puzzled.

C. They found it quite amusing. D. They felt quite surprised.

2Women have snacks almost at any time because they_______________.

3When are women more likely to have snacks in their office?

A. When they have finished hard jobs.

B. When they get their new work started.

C. When they feel tired or anxious.

D. When they feel relaxed and comfortable.

4What does the passage want to tell us?

【题目】The following simple exercise routine works as well as prescription medication(处方药) without side effects.

A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay; regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛), a growing body of research suggests.

Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40-minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months, according to a Swedish study.

The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migraine-preventing drugs—topamirate, but without side effects of depression and tremors(颤抖).

“Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches, too,” says Alexander Mauskop, M.D., director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan.

There are a couple of theories on how it works.

“Breaking a sweat may relieve stress,” says Dr. Mauskop. Headaches are often triggered by stress, and if you remove the trigger, you release the pain.

The feel-good chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors, acting as a natural painkiller.

Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics, lack of sleep, or certain foods, the cardio workout won’t be the solution for everyone, Dr. Mauskop says. But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients, which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market.

Dr. Mauskop recommends his patients do a half-hour reasonable intensity(强度) cardio workout, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week. These workouts are meant to be slow and steady, as opposed to high-intensity intervals that alternate between all-out runs and rest.

Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people, so make sure your heart rate doesn’t jump above 150 BPM. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose. You’ll know you’re going too hard if you can’t keep up that breathing pattern.

Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks, Dr. Mauskop says.

1According to the passage, the author may agree that _______.

A. jogging, swimming and fishing are cardio workouts.

B. neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effects

C. migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workouts

D. cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines

2The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by _______.

A. cured B. released

C. caused D. monitored

3What would be the best title?

A. A cure for headaches B. Side effects of migraines

C. The causes of headaches D. Advantages of cardio workouts.
