Is losing weight as simple as doing a 15-minute writing exercise? In a new study, women who wrote about their most important values, like close relationships or religion, lost more weight over the next few months than women who didn't. "We have this need to feel self-integrity (正直,诚实）,” says Christine Logel of the University of Waterloo. "When something threatens your sense that you're a good person, like failing a test, we can buffer（缓冲） that self-integrity by reminding ourselves how much we love our children, for example".

For this study, the researchers recruited 45 female undergraduates, of whom 58% were overweight. Each woman was weighed, and was then given a list of important values, like creativity, music or relationships with friends and family members. Each woman ranked the values in order of how important they were to her. Then half the women were told to write for 15 minutes about the value that was most important to her. The other half, a control group, were told to write about why a value far down on their list might be important to someone else.

The women came back months later to be weighed again. Women who had written about an important value lost an average of 3.41 pounds, while women in the control group gained an average of 2.76 pounds.

"How we feel about ourselves can have a big effect," Logel says. Maybe when one of the women who wrote about an important value went home that night, she felt good about herself and didn't eat to make herself feel better. Over a few months, that could make a real difference in her life,

1.How can a 15-minute writing exercise of important values affect people?

A. They will feel proud of themselves and gain weight gradually.

B. They may feel good about themselves and then eat less than usual.

C. They may continue writing and decide to become a professional writer.

D. They will never have meals at night to make themselves lose weight.

2.What were the females required to do in the study?

A. Only the control group was given a list of important values.

B. Both groups ranked the values in order of importance to them.

C. Each woman was weighed three times in the process of the study.

D. The overweight women wrote about the value most important to them.

3.Which of the following persons may lose weight according to the new study?

A. Mary who wrote about her own adventure.

B. Catherine who described her illness in her writing.

C. Shirley who wrote how much she loved her children.

D. Alice who complained her boss in her diary.

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Writing Benefits Women a Lot

B. Losing Weight Is Very Simple

C. Writing Contributes to Losing Weight

D. Women Values Losing Weight

For many workers trying to lose weight, the weekend is a chance to do some exercise and eat something healthier than a supermarket sandwich at their desk. But some slimmers take a slightly different approach — consuming more than half their weekly calorie intake from Friday night to Sunday.

Away from the daily routine at work that helps them keep control of what they eat, they are snacking and drinking their way to a shocking 10,000 calories, a survey has found. Almost three-quarters of people trying to lose weight admit to over-eating at the weekend. A meal with friends or family, complete with alcohol, as well as a late-night snack before bed, can lead to adults consuming up to 3,500 calories in one day, a survey found. Men typically need 2,500 calories a day and women 2,000 calories. Consuming this amount would see men and women get through half their weekly calorie intake over the course of a ‘bad’ weekend.

Women were found to eat less on a Sunday because of guilt over their consumption over the previous two days. Men had fewer doubts about a third day of excess.

The biggest weekend diet danger comes from snacking between meals, the survey found. Some say they will often spend Saturday night in front of the TV with their families — combining watching their favorite shows with crisps and biscuits. And seven in ten people admitted to having fattening takeaways at weekends, with pizza the most popular. Alcohol is another big factor in weekend bingeing．Around 70 percent still like to have a roast on a Sunday or a big meal with family or friends and a third of those will have second helpings.

A spokesman from Forza Supplements, the diet company that conducted the survey, said, “We all have bad weekends where we have a lot of fun, but dieting goes out of the window.”

The 5:2 diet is becoming increasingly popular — where we limit our calories for five days and allow ourselves a few treats on the other two days.

“For many people, the two days off are Saturday and Sunday but they go way too far”

1.Which kind of weekend diet does the greatest harm?

A. Having a big meal with family and friends.

B. Drinking a lot.

C. Having fattening takeaways

D. Snacking between the meals.

2.According to the passage, those who try to lose weight _______.

A. intake more calories on weekdays than on weekends

B. get their efforts to lose weight ruined by over-eating on weekends

C. always have bad weekends due to their intention to lose weight

D. keep wide aware of their desire to lose weight by keeping a strict diet

3.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Weekends are vital for diets.

B. What the 5:2 diet is.

C. The proper way to lose weight.

D. People’s weekly calorie intake is changing.

When it comes to losing weight, many individuals know that the correct amount of exercise paired with healthy eating is the way to go. However, this doesn’t stop individuals from employing other small strategies into their routines to help the weight come off faster. The cold water technique uses the understanding that our metabolic (新陈代谢) rate will need to be increased in order to warm up the water we have consumed.

In 2003, a German research team chose to study fourteen participants and found that when they consumed ice water, they were able to increase their caloric consumption. According to the study, this consumption was increased by about 30% for over an hour, resulting in a 100 calorie burn per day with two liters of cold water. Now two liters of cold water a day is quite a lot to consume but for 100 calories burned a day, that’s a pretty major benefit considering how much exercise it takes just to burn 100-200 calories off. Unfortunately, later on, it was found that the way the study measured caloric consumption was flawed(有缺陷的) and that there wasn’t actually a 30% rise in metabolic rate but rather a very small statistical rise in calories spent.

Your body will work to bring any cold water that you consume up to the internal temperature through your metabolic system. It’s like when you place an ice cube into a warm drink, the drink will use up the energy to melt down the ice cube. Your body will use up the energy to heat that water up to match the environment within your body.

Drinking ice cold water should not replace healthy eating or exercise, but it can be used to help you burn away some extra calories.

1.When it comes to losing weight, some individuals will　　　　 .

A.think exercise is the best way to lose weight

B.think we should only have healthy eating

A.The cold water can sharply increase the caloric consumption.

B.It turned out that the former study was not entirely correct.

C.Two liters of ice water can burn 30% calories.

D.The cold water can replace exercise.

A.drinking cold water can help people lose weight in a way

B.healthy eating needn’t be combined with exercise

C.people should drink more cold water to keep healthy

D.the study is unbelievable

4.From which is the text probably taken?

A.Sports news B.A fashion magazine

C.A chemistry textbook D.A science magazine

Proper diet and regular exercise seem to be the only methods for losing weight.However,the importance of water should be added in the process.While medical science has proven the positive effects of water,most people still do not drink enough each day.

The reason why water is so important for weight loss has something to do with metabolism（新陈代谢）of fat. The liver（肝脏）is in charge of this process when it comes to turning stored fat in-to energy.However,the liver is also responsible for helping the kidneys（肾脏）that need enough water in order to function properly.The liver has to perform all the functions of the kidneys on its own when they are short of water.This means the liver doesn't have enough energy to metabolize fat.So,drinking water allows the kidneys to focus on their job and the liver to focus on its job.

Also,studies have shown that water can make us feel full when drunk before meals.Without even making an effort,most people who drink a glass of water before a meal will eat 33% less.This is due in part to the fact that they simply get fuller quicker because the water is taking up space.The other reason is that the food will expand as soon as it hits the water-filled stomach.

Water is important for every aspect of the health of the human body.By drinking more water and improving the health of the body,weight loss goals can be achieved with greater ease.

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a way to lose weight?

A. Regular exercise.　　 B. Drinking water.　　 C. Balanced diet.　　 D. Medical care.

A. the kidneys are lacking in water　　 B. there is something wrong with the kidneys

C. the liver doesn't supply energy for the kidneys　　 D. there is no fat for the liver to metabolize

3.Why can we lose weight by drinking water before meals?

A. Because we don't feel thirsty any longer.　　 B. Because we eat much less than normal.

C. Because the water takes up too much space.　　 D. Because the food becomes larger and larger.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Liver Is Important to the Kidneys.　　 B. How the Digestive System Works.

C. Water for a Healthy Life and Losing Weight.　　 D. Several Tips for Losing Weight.
