Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say, skip it all．None of these products is likely to make you any healthier．Below, we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water． 1 Experts say there’s an easy way to judge．If you are not thirsty, your fluid intake is likely “just right”
Myth No 1：Drink eight glasses each day．
Scientists say there’s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day． 2 “Nobody really knows,” says Dr．Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania．
Myth No．2：Lots of water equals healthier skin．
The body is already 60 percent water． 3 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect．“It’s such a tiny part of what’s in the body,” says Goldfarb．“ It’s very unlikely that one’s getting any benefit．”
Myth No．3： 4
A more accurate statement may be：Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters．“Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories,” says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh．“So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction．” But water is not magical, she adds．“Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too．”
Myth No．4：It’s easy to get dehydrated(脱水的)during a workout．
Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight． 5 “It’s also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water,” says Goldfarb．“But for a walk in the park, no water bottle is necessary．”
A．So where does the standard advice come from?
B．But it’s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant．
C．So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water．
D．Drinking extra water leads to weight loss．
E．Drink as much water as you can．
F．So, if you take a 200-pound man, he’s 120 pounds of water．
G．But first, how do you know if you’re drinking enough water?
On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.
During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed（抑郁）.
How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
1. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ______.
A. she was asked to do research on mice
B. she wanted to experience loneliness
C. she was the subject of a study
D. she needed to record her life
2. What is a cause for the change of Stefania’s body clock?
A. Eating fewer meals.
B. Having more hours of sleep.
C. Lacking physical exercise.
D. Getting no natural light.
3. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A novel. B. A news story. C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide.
¤ While the 2008 Olympics were the first to be broadcast entirely in HD, the 2012 Olympics are the first to broadcast in HD as well as 3D. Sean Taylor, a spokesperson for Panasonic – provider of some of the technologies – said it effectively, “Each Games, from a technology perspective, tries to have a first. London will be the first HD and 3D Games.” The games were first televised in Berlin in 1936 and played on big screens about the city. Then came the first games to enter households (strictly in London that is) in 1948, followed by the first internationally televised games during the 1960 Olympics in Rome. And ever since, that feeling of physically standing in the crowd and watching these mighty contestants has only gotten clearer, more defined. Now, they more literally than ever actually compete in your living room.
§ A paradox is presented as the London games celebrate both the Industrial Revolution (a.k.a. the birth of pollution) and a spirit of committed environmentalism; London will be the first to actively measure its own carbon footprint during these games, designing a stadium and accommodations that cut-back on negative emissions when at all possible. They are also shooting for a world record via the “Javelin,” designed specifically to keep as many exhaust pipes at bay as humanly possible.
【小题1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The Industrial Revolution first happened in England.
B. 2012 London Olympics is the first to broadcast in HD.
C. People couldn’t see the Olympic Games on TV 80 years ago.
D. 2012 London Olympics is more environmentally friendly than before.
【小题2】What does the underlined word “paradox” probably mean in the text?
| A．solid evidence | B．advanced thought |
| C．perfect opinion | D．contradictory view |
| A．a novel | B．a report | C．a diary | D．an essay |
| A．The History of Olympic Games. |
| B．Two Firsts about 2012 London Olympics |
| C．2012 London Olympics --- Eco-Conscious Games |
| D．2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics |
