Everybody knows about lots of relatively easy things on weight loss. 【1】 However, if you have ever tried some before without success, then the following guides could be more useful for your life.

There’s no magical diet.

We often think that if we can just discover the “right” kinds of foods, we’ll magically lose weight or maintain what we’ve lost. In fact there doesn’t seem to be any “right” diet, and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that one particular diet will work better with an individual’s body. __【2】

Dieting gets the better of exercising.

It is said that exercise is the key to weight loss—taking the stairs instead of the elevator will make a difference, for instance. 【3】 Decreasing food intake is much more effective than increasing physical activity to achieve weight loss. Of course, both together would be even better.

Work harder than other people.

Exercise may not help go back to what it was before you gained weight. So if you’ve been overweight and you lose weight, maintaining that loss means you’re probably going to have to work harder than other people. Building muscles can help your body burn a few more calories. 【4】 It seems unfair, but that’s the way it is.

【5】

For energy balance, it’s the number of calories that counts. It’s certainly true at least in theory and sometimes in practice. You can gain weight eating too much healthy food as well as unhealthy food. So the point is not to question what a calorie is, but rather to understand that we need to exchange the calorie-packed foods for foods that are less calorie-dense and more nutritionally dense.

A. All calories are created equal.

B. Some of them are also extremely effective when actually carried out.

C. A calorie is a calorie!

D. We know pretty much that any diet will work if you follow it.

E. However, it’s much more efficient to cut calories.

F. Some of the calories we burn come from our basic exercise.

G. However, it’s also likely that you’ll have to do more in the long run.

The Importance of Accessibility Awareness

At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 【1】 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).

One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 【2】 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 【3】 And the meeting focused on educating the public.

Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 【4】

Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 【5】 People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.

Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.

A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.

B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.

C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.

D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.

E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.

F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.

G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.

【题目】Over the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept—the ant philosophy, an【1】(amaze) four-part philosophy.

They never give up【2】(look) for a way to get where they【3】(suppose) to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer.They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making【4】. (prepare) for the long cold winter.So you have to think about storms in summer; think about rocks【5】you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter.During the winter, they remind【6】(they), "This won't last long and we'll soon be out of here. " On【7】first warm day, the ants are out. If it【8】(turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm Last,how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it【9】(possible) can.【10】you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
