Losing weight has become a major concern for ...

Losing weight has become a major concern for so many people. People try different weight loss methods all the time, some of which will never work, while others provide just a temporary solution. It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment. Let us look at some of these green ways to lose weight.

Growing your own vegetables is a good way to ensure that you are eating healthy foods. The process is even better if you can use organic manure(肥料). Planting your own vegetables is not only a good way to go green; it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise. Preparing a garden, including planting and taking care of the vegetables, is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.

If you usually eat meat on a daily basis, you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables. If you have no idea what vegetarian diets are like, you can do some research on the Internet, and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such as Vegetarian Times Magazine. By reducing your intake of meat, you will be able to reduce your intake of fats, and hence, it will be easier for you to get rid of some weight.

Reduce periods of driving and try walking or cycling instead. If you are used to driving your car to get to wherever you are going, it would be great for you if you substituted walking or cycling for driving. Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories, and therefore, you will be able to lose weight.

It is important to know that there are so many ways in which we can turn our bad habits into good ones. Most of these good habits will not only benefit our bodies; they will also make the world a better place for all of us. Let’s go green, and let’s lose weight!

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the case is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence（证据）does little to support the idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch TV.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fat people do not eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查), such as a 1990 study of 3,545 London office workers, show that fatter people eat less than slimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group of Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

The more the men ran, the more fat they lost.

The more they ran, the more they ate.

Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1.What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?

A. They are too thin.                 B. They work too hard.

C. They are too fat.                  D. They lose too much fat.

2.Which of the following words can take the place of the word “slim” in this passage?

A. poor         B. thin          C. healthy       D. rich

3.Compared with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910 ______.

A. ate more food and had more activities       B. ate less food but had more activities

C. ate less food and had less physical activities  D. had more weight problems

4.What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?

Coffee has become a popular drink in our culture. Most people have a coffee maker at home for guests who come to visit. It naturally contains caffeine (咖啡因), which people in today’s society have somewhat come to rely on (依靠) to provide them with energy.

In the workplace many people start their day with a cup of coffee, and then continue to drink it until it’s time to go home. Many meetings also begin with a cup of coffee --- which is why so many workplaces now have a steady flow of office coffee.

Coffee is unsurprisingly one of the most traded agricultural products in the world, supporting the economy in many countries. Coffee is made from the roasted(烤，烘，焙) seeds of coffee cherries, which grow on trees in over 70 countries. The seeds are roasted to different degrees depending on the flavors wanted, and then are brewed (泡，煮) to create the coffee drink. Coffee is usually sold already roasted, so that all you have to do is add hot water.

Coffee is labeled according to its appearance --- light, medium light, medium, medium dark, dark, or very dark.

People argue a lot about whether the effect of drinking coffee is positive or negative. Some people think that drinking too much coffee is bad for our health. But you can buy decaffeinated (脱去咖啡因的) coffee, which has a lot less caffeine. Most people, however, would not care　 about the negative effects of drinking coffee.

Since the early 1980s, sponsorship （赞助）has become a major part of sport. But how effective is it?

There were some big changes to football shirts in the early 1980s. Instead of shirts telling you the name of the team, they gave you the name of a company. At times, it wasn't clear if the team playing was Manchester United or Sharp Electronics. However, fans soon got used to the new look shirts until they changed again: first to Vodafone, then to American Insurance Company AIG, and then to American re-insurance company Aon. It's hard to keep track sometimes.

So, why has sports sponsorship become so popular? Both sides see clear advantages. Most large companies are keen to link their brand to a well-known sporting personality because they believe raising their image in this way will increase sales. And the large sums they offer to do so is a big incentive （激励）for the other side. There's a lot of money involved in sports sponsorship, and many predict that the sums will be rising over the coming years.

But problems can arise. For example, what happens if they sponsor an unsuccessful player or team? Will they look stupid at the end of the season if their team has lost? And what happens if they sponsor a team or player who gets into trouble? DeutscheTelekom was one of the major sponsors of the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong but found it in an awkward situation when he failed drugs tests. As a result of this scandal（丑闻），many companies have moved away from sponsoring cyclists. Instead many now choose to sponsor events rather than the people. Of course, it doesn't matter which team wins because the audiences will see lots of company ads and logos everywhere and the companies know that they will win.

But the really important question is, does sponsorship work? Will you buy their products after the game just because you've seen their ads and logos? There's clearly more research to be done.

1.What's one of the effects of sports sponsorship on the football fans?

A.They can buy cheaper football shirts.

B.They recognize the teams more easily.

C.They welcome the changes of sponsorship.

D.They are confused about the names on the shirts.

2.According to the passage, we can know that .

A.Sponsorship is often a win-win situation.

B.Many sports teams actually dislike sponsorship.

C.The money on sports sponsorship will decrease.

D.Sports sponsorship certainly promotes a company's sales.

3.Why do many companies sponsor events instead of players now?

A.To better spread their brands.

B.To cut the cost of sponsorship.

C.To attract more people's attention.

D.To avoid unexpected troubles of the players .
