Summer is the season to dive into new activities and relax. And right now is the time to make sure that you’re ready for the great outdoors, the holiday planning and travel, and the bathing suit beach days.

If you want to lose weight before summer, concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week. 1.And when you trouble yourself, sooner or later you，re going to gain it back. Operate on a 500-calorie-a-day deficit (亏损). 2. So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight, you’ll lose a pound a week right there.

Operating at a decrease of 500 calories a day should involve both eating less and moving more. For example, you could consume 300 fewer calories and bum 200 extra per day.

Include both healthy eating and exercise in your weight-loss plan, and break the 500-calorie goal into small groups to make it more reachable. 3.

To cut 100 calories: 4. Have vegetable pizza instead of pepperoni (意大利辣香肠). Use our Nutritional Needs Calculator to determine how many daily calories you should consume in order to lose, gain, or maintain your healthy goal weight. Once you’ve reached your goal, recalculate your nutritional needs for keeping extra weight off all summer long.

To burn 100 calories: spend 15 minutes biking. 5. Spend 20 minutes gardening. Keep on exercising at least 30 minutes daily a week. Reading food labels and counting calories or writing down what and when you eat can give you more control as well.

A. Here are some simple ways to get there.

B. Walk or run one mile.

C. A pound is 3,500 calories.

D. It is okay to have some snacks between your meals.

E. You should always make sure you get a lot of sleep.

F. Anything more than that usually means you’re troubling yourself.

G. Eat a chicken breast without the skin.

As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.

Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人组）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.

Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!

Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.

Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane（起重机）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.

1.Which film can you enjoy this May?

A. Book Club.　　 B. Tag.　　 C. Uncle Drew.　　 D. Skyscraper.

2.What is strange about Uncle Drew?

A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.

B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.

C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.

D. The author cannot wait to see the film.

3.Which film is not a comedy?

A. Book Club.　　 B. Tag.　　 C. Uncle Drew.　　 D. Skyscraper.

Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth and new life. The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. The season represents hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece — Spring, which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundred.

However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.

Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, Spring Will be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed? Because the singer’s lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.

By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When It’s Springtime in the Rockies in 1937.

And finally, we’ll leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.

1. If you are in a bad mood, you’d better listen to _____.

2. It Might as Well Be Spring is a song that ______.

3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Most songs about spring are written by Italian composers.

C. Sarah Vaughn sang the song Up Jumped Spring first.

D. Gene Autry was a famous cowboy singer before K.D. Lang.

You and your friends are settling into your seats. The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you’ve got the snacks: soda and popcorn. Food is part of what makes the movies fun.

Just as the lights go out, you catch a slight smell of … tuna fish? You turn your head, searching for the source. Then you spot him: A couple rows back, some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How’d he get that in here? You wonder. Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks.

What invites the unwelcome outside food is probably the price. Why pay $ 5 for a bag of M&Ms when you can get them for a dollar at the corner store?

Earlier this year, a Michigan man decided to fight for his right to snack. Joshua Thompson is suing his local theater after it banned outside food. He argues the ban breaks a Michigan law that prevents businesses from charging extremely high prices. However, most legal experts believe Thompson has little chance of winning his case, though he does have a point: 85 cents out of a dollar of treats a movie theater sells is pure profit.

The truth is that movie theaters are more in the snack business than the movie business. A huge part of the ticket income goes to the Hollywood studio. This makes sense, since the studios have to pay the costs of movie production and advertising. But that often doesn’t leave much cash for the theater, which also has its own running costs. If customers stopped buying food, owners would have to raise ticket prices even higher.

Of course, there’s another reason to think twice before bringing food into the movies: It’s against the rules. Breaking those rules can have unpleasant consequences too. Some theaters will kick you out if they catch you. Even without the threat of punishment, we should follow rules all the time------out of respect.

Here’s a good idea: Eat before the movie.

1.What is the topic of the text?

A. Movie Theaters’ Ban on Outside Food.

B. A Michigan Man’s Fight for His Right.

C. The Pleasure of Enjoying Snacks.

D. Bad Manners in Movie Theaters.

2.What do we know about Joshua Thompson?

A. He broke a Michigan law.

B. He was forbidden to have snacks at the theaters.

C. He thinks cinema tickets are too expensive.

D. He is likely to lose the case.

3.In Paragraph 5, the author mainly explains _________.

A. how movie studios work with movie theaters

B. why snack sales are important to movie theaters

C. why Hollywood studios must pay high costs

D. how movie theaters reduce their operating costs

4. How does the author feel about bringing outside food into the cinema?

A. It is great fun.　　　　　　 B. It is convenient.

C. It is unacceptable.　　 　　 D. It is lawful.

Summer is the season of mosquitoes. And mosquito bites are truly the worst-not only are they huge and painful, but they itch(发痒) like nothing else. And once you start scratching (挠), it’s hard to stop.

You can blame female mosquitoes for the trouble we all face. There is something that enters the skin while the mosquito is enjoying its blood meal. This is the protein that leads to the allergic reaction and itching. Basically, our immune systems see the protein as an enemy. This causes the local reaction we see as the bug bite. Our bodies are just particularly sensitive to mosquito bites. Other bug bites may not have the same effect on your immune system. Bees for example, are likely to produce more pain than an itch.

Scratching a mosquito bite is a double-edged sword. It feels so good, but it also makes the itch way worse. When you scratch, you may release more local histamine, the chemical in the skin that causes the itching, and you may also be spreading the allergen under the skin. If you tend to scratch until you bleed you’re putting yourself at risk for skin infections.

You’re not imagining it -mosquito bites do itch more at night. Most people itch more at night because we are less distracted as we try to fall asleep.

If you’ve ever wondered why some mosquito bites itch more than others, it totally depends on your body. Everyone responds differently to mosquito bites. While some people may have a minimal reaction, others may experience serious reaction. It just depends on your body’s immune system. People with so-called atopic traits, who are highly sensitive, are more likely to develop more serious local reactions after the mosquito bites.

1.What accounts for the itch you feel after a mosquito bite?

A.The blood type. B.The sensitivity of our skin.

C.The change of temperature. D.The protein from mosquitoes.

2.Why do mosquito bites itch more when scratch them?

A.Scratching them helps the blood to flow quicker.

B.Your skin will be infected after you scratch them.

C.Scratching them causes a special chemical to let out.

D.You focus more on mosquito bites when you are scratching them.

3.Why are some people bothered less by mosquito bites than others?

A.Their body’s immune system is less sensitive to the bites.

B.They pay less attention to the mosquito bites.

C.Their skin is thicker than others.

D.They get used to the bites.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.The cure for mosquito bites. B.The itch caused by mosquito bites.

C.Why mosquito bites itch less than bee bites. D.How people respond to mosquito bites differently.

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a worthwhile activity.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables picked at their best are superior to those vegetables purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can prove a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing(吸收人的) for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.

One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work in it at odd moments.

Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous(能渗透的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). A deep, fine, sandy good quality soil is best.

Usually the hoe owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

1.Home-grown vegetables ___________.

2.Vegetables gardening is appealing for many people because ___________.

3.The author suggests that an ideal vegetable garden ___________.

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

Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 1.

Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.

There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent（驱蚊剂）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.

2.

In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.

Always protect your feet.

It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor.3.You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.

Be sure to eat safe fruits.

4. They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.

Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.

Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go. 5.

A.Don't trust the local water

B.Any fruit served fresh may be polluted

C.Look out for any water not served in a bottle

D.The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the table

E.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruits

F.They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your trip

G.Parasites（寄生虫）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body
