Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.

The recent rise of light meals, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.

The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.

Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients (营养成分) are the theme of the light meal.

These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid putting on weight,” wrote the Telegraph.

“After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite has shrunk (缩小). I now prefer light flavors,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.

These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.

So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.

1.What are light meals?

A.Fat-filled dishes. B.Meat-free dishes.

C.Sugar-charged desserts. D.Low-calorie and high-fiber meals.

2.How does the author show the popularity of light meals?

A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples.

C.By giving descriptions. D.By showing other people’s opinions.

3.Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article?

A.They are usually colorful. B.They are simple and convenient.

C.They are cheaper than other meals. D.They can help people control their weight.

4.What do we know from the second to last paragraph?

A.Light meals will stay popular for a while.

B.Our eating habits show our personalities.

C.There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.

D.It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.

There are no hard and fast rules that say you must exercise in the morning to reach your weight loss or fitness goals. 1. Here are some tips to keep you active and ready for your nighttime workouts.

Work out Close to the Office

Ideally, you would want to wear your workout clothes under your work clothes to keep you in the mindset all day. But, if your job requires you to wear heels and a skirt or a suit and tie, this might not be reasonable. Instead, bring your workout clothes to work with you and change before you leave the office. 2.

Plan Your Evening Meal

If you are responsible for making dinner in your household, don’t let that be an excuse to skip the gym. This is why slow-cookers were invented. 3. Having a meal waiting at home for you not only takes away the stress of planning a meal when you walk in the door, but it decreases the chances of you blowing your workout.

Choose a Workout for Your Mood

4. Consider something different, maybe the stair climber. Walk around the gym and see what attracts you, forcing yourself to take part in a workout that doesn’t attract your mood will only lead to a waste of your time.

5.

While there are some people who can walk into the gym and just get started most people need a project. Sometime, during the day when you have a moment, make a list of the exercises you hope to accomplish.

A.Plan your workout.

B.Take a special class.

C.There are many benefits for working out at night.

D.Working out at night is a better choice for a lot of people.

E.They were designed to help people manage their time and create healthy meals.

F.The surest way to fail at a workout is to choose something you sincerely hate.

G.Place your gym bag or your clothes where you can see them all day.

阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

There are many resources for people who are interested in volunteer tourism, but the best way to find these chances is to discover an organization you particularly want to work with. A simple Internet search for “volunteer tourism” will bring you many websites that offer this kind of travel experience. It is therefore important to research an organization before signing up to travel to a distant corner of the earth to become a volunteer. Many people rely on other organizations they know and trust them to do research for them. Many people sign up for volunteer tourism chances provided by their schools.

Before you choose a volunteer tourism trip, it is important to get a clear picture of how much money the trip will cost. It is also important to understand the kind of work that will be required of the volunteers, because not everyone is up to the challenge of spending many days doing heavy work. Any website can put up quotes from former volunteers that may not be true. If an organization offering volunteer tourism has an office in your city, take a trip to the office and speak with the people working there as this will help to get a better understanding of the financial and physical commitments (承诺) that volunteers must make.

It is also important to consider what kind of volunteer work you want to do. There are organizations that focus on volunteer chances for people who want to work on community building, others for people who want to volunteer in the field of education, and others still for people who have medical training and are willing to share their skills. There are also a number of volunteer tourism chances for people who want to help those in need.

Once you have found the type of volunteer work that you would like to do and created a list of volunteer tourism chances, it makes good sense to speak to former volunteers. It is a good way to choose the volunteer chance fit for you. It is also a good way to prepare for the trip and make it a success.

There are many reasons for people to study abroad. One is that you can have the chance to make yourself know about the culture of the place. Although we humans belong only to the same one species, we are divided into several races. 1. And when countries are divided by oceans, naturally the way of life in that country is different from ours.

Once you are studying in a foreign country, you will slowly learn to speak the language of the place. 2.If you want to ask for directions or if you are lost, it can be of great help.

3. If you study in such places as Spain and the Philippines, there are lots of foreign sights to see.

Studying abroad will also give you the chance to experience a totally different curriculum(课程). 4.

Studying abroad is also a memory that can be valued for a lifetime. 5. Once you have made friends with your classmates, I’m pretty sure you will enjoy being with them in your hang-outs, in your parties, and even in helping out with each other’s homework.

A. This is an opportunity to make friends from other races.

B. Studying abroad also offers an opportunity to travel.

Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learned was so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.

The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.

I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.

The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!

I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.

1.What do we know about fika?

A.It is a waste of time. B.It is a way to balance life and work.

C.It is all about drinking coffee. D.It is a Swedish social tradition.

2.What does the author think of Swedish people?

A.They are friendly. B.They seem a bit cold.

C.They appear really rude. D.They are interested in other's life.

3.Why does the author like walking?

A.It is fun and not very tiring. B.It is good exercise on cold days.

C.It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D.It gives her the chance to eat the local food.

4.What's the author's advice for students going abroad?

A.Be confident. B.Be careful.

C.Be open- minded. D.Be hard- working.

Opera for Beginners

Many people think that opera is boring, difficult to understand and unpleasant to listen to. They only see strange people singing in a foreign language and wearing funny costumes. They're too quick to judge and a lot of people have believed stupid ideas about opera without ever actually seeing one. If one takes opera seriously, with an open heart, and goes to several good live performances, I don't see any reason why he or she would dislike or hate it. The following tips can help you learn to enjoy opera.

First of all, if you are new to opera, start with a short, well-known title, such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. In the beginning, avoid difficult operas with complex storylines. If your first experience is not fun, then you will expect all operas to be boring. Moreover, before going to a performance, do a little bit of homework: learn the story of the opera. If you know about the main characters and the story before you start watching, it will be much easier to understand what is happening on the stage. Finally, the most important way to enjoy opera is to keep an open mind. If you believe that you will enjoy watching opera, then you will most likely enjoy it. Think of opera as a live TV show. Opera shows the same things—love and hate, good and evil and humans and nature—that are found in many of today's popular movies and best-selling novels. In fact, many of these movies and novels use stories copied from famous operas!

Opera is full of catchy, wonderful melodies （旋律）. It's full of drama and laughter. It's full of wonder and life. Opera can be fun to watch, and it allows the audience to experience different cultures. Many people have enjoyed it for hundreds of years, and by following the tips above, you can enjoy it, too. Indeed, opera will change the minds of the people who once hated it. And most importantly, as one of the most diverse art forms out there, opera helps you appreciate different performance styles from all over the world.

1.Many people think that opera is boring because ______.

A.it is like a TV show B.they know little about it

C.they dislike its storylines D.its music style is old-fashioned

2.Which is a good way for beginners to enjoy opera?
