Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is important if you want to get in good shape. To have a perfect body, someone go to extremes to lose weight. 1.

In the weight loss industry, there is never a lack of ideas about how to lose weight. Consider the “Sleeping Beauty diet,” where you sleep your way to weight loss. You cannot eat if you are sleeping, or so the theory goes.

2. The tapeworm (绦虫) is said to help people lose weight by eating the food that is stored in their stomach. But first you have to be willing to eat the little worm. This may be more trouble than many people want.

Strange, new diets and exercise programs arrive on the market every day. 3.　 The weight loss industry takes in billions of dollars each year, and it is growing.

Experts say there is no single diet plan that works best for everyone. Many experts agree on one thing: you must use or burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight. When you eat more calories than your body needs, it stores that extra energy as fat.

4. A pound of fat is equal to about 453 grams or 3,500 calories. To lose that fat in a week, you have to burn off at least that amount in calories or eat that much less.

5. Eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so that you burn off more.

A. Then there is the tapeworm diet.

B. Calories are a measure of energy in food.

C. But no plan has come out as a clear winner.

D. The best thing to do is to combine both ideas.

E. These lead to a big industry — weight loss industry.

F. But experts say exercise alone is not enough if your goal is to lose weight.

G. Each one promises to help people lose weight and get a beautiful body.

When you visit America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards. It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (how-ever, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.

In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow(阴影）. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!

There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”,  where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning — looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!

1.Which of the following is TRUE about motels?

A．You can only find motels in the big National Parks.

B．They are free for people who arrive by car.

C．If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.

D．The word “motel” is formed by two words.

2.Which of the following is NOT provided by motels?

A．Baths.            B．Swimming pools.    C．TV.               D．Meals.

3.The underlined word “crept” in the second paragraph probably means “______”.

A．moved slowly      B．rushed out         C．threw away        D．ran fast

4.The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A．an interesting story

B．the experience of the author’s friend

C．we may meet animals in the National Parks

D．bears usually look for food at night

5.From the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season ______.

A．tourists can find gold there

B．tourists can have a sweet dream there

C．it is difficult to find a room there

D．there is warning for tourists to New York

When you arrive at the Shanghai Expo site, the first thing you will see is a huge red building in the ancient Chinese dougong(斗拱) architectural(建筑的) style. Built according to the concept of “Oriental Crown”, the China Pavilion(展厅) is the largest national pavilion at the Expo.

Themed “Search of the East”, the pavilion is divided into three sections. Footprint of the East on the top floor shows the change of Chinese cities; a Journey of Wisdom on the second floor, China’s four great inventions—the compass, paper, printing and gunpowder are displayed; and Blossoming(盛开的) City on the ground floor shows the scenery of future cities.

Take a lift, and you’ll be taken to the 8,500-square-meter top floor. There, in a film by Lu Chuan, you’ll see how Chinese cities have changed, especially over the past 30 years. The 10-minute movie is shown in a 600-seat theater.

The painting Along the River During Qingming Festival, is considered a national treasure. It describes life in Bianjing, which is today’s Kaifeng in Henan province. More than 1,000 years ago, it was the largest city in the world. Multimedia technology makes more than 1,500 characters of the painting walk and move along a 100-meter-long wall.

Four families are chosen from Zhejiang province to show their daily lives. Films of the families and furniture from the households are exhibited. At the pavilion, you’ll get insight into the daily lives of these families at different periods. The designers believe these will mirror the great changes Zhejiang has seen since China’s reform and opening-up policy in the late 1970s.
