In schools and at home,most of US have been scolded(责备) or éven got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy on something unproductive. But many medical studies have shown something different. They’ve stressed the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination,creativity and situation-handling techniques. In fact,many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.

The topmost benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement. By separating yourself from the world around you,you tend to enjoy the loneliness in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses. When you start imagining things,you will forget all tiie stress and tension(紧张) Instead,you will get happiness from it and this happiness will turn into a source of energy that helps you work in a good mood.

Many 边(心理学家) have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory. It’s true. When you,re daydreaming,yoil tend to g?t carried away to imagine various situations,either real or unreal. You tend to act differently in different situations,trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams. When your mind gets satisfied,you’ re in a better position to concentrate more on your work. Since daydreaming activates (激活） the nerves of your brain,you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things will develop.

When you daydream,you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore,you get to know yourself better. You ai§0 start realizing the mistakes you,ve made in life anti trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul.

Looking for a simple way to bum more calories while walking? Researchers found that walking at varying speeds can bum up to 20 percent more calories. It is one of the first to measure the calories burned at various walking speeds. “Most of the existing literature has been on constant-speed walking. This study is a bi^ missing piece,” said Manoj Srinivasan,co-author of the study. “Measuring the calories burned while changing speeds is very important — people don’t live their lives on (跑步机) and do not walk at constant speeds."

The researchers found that up to thirty percent of the energy we use during normal daily walking could be due to the energy needed to start and stop walking. Walking at any speed costs some energy,bilt when you* re changing the speed, ?ou will get the biggest effect. Changing the kinetic (运动的) energy of a person requires more work from the legs and that process certainly bums more energy.

The study also confirmed the researchers’ prediction that people walk slower when covering shorter distances and increase their paces as distance increases. This finding could have some effects in the field of health,where the speed measured within a certain distance is used as a sign of a patient's progress. “What we’ve shown is that the distance over which you make them walk matters,” said Srinivasan. You’11 get different walking speeds for different distances.”

For more tips on how to bum more calories when walking,Srinivasan offers some simple advice: walk in a way that feels unnatural. “How do you walk in a manner that bums more energy? Just do weird things. Walk with a backpack,walk with weights on your legs or walk in a curve as opposed to a straight line,” he said.

9. Why does research on walking and changing speeds matter?

A. It can save lots of energy.

B. It's good for the environment.

C. It can help build up our bodies.

D. It's close to the way people walk in everyday life.

10. The second paragraph serves as .

A. an explanation for the study

B. the background of the study

C. an example of the study

D. an introduction to the study

11. When patients change the speed of walking,.

A. they are in poor health

B. they are likely to recover

C. they have weight problems

D.they may need more walking practice

12. What does the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Boring. B. Strange,

C. Great. D. Right.

Last summer I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a month in France. It was the most exciting time of my life. I stayed with a family in Montpellier. It was very different from my life in the United States. Every morning we bought fresh bread from the bakery (面包店) and had coffee in a bowl instead of a cup. The milk came in bottles fresh from the dairy (牛奶场) .These differences were skin-deep,however,I soon discovered other more important ones.

Back home in Winnetka,Illinois,I wouldn’t think anything of taking a ten-minute shower every day,or even twice a day in summer. In my French host family,we showered only once every two days and used far less water. First you turn the water on to get wet,then turn it off and soap yourself up,then you turn it on again to rinse the soap off,so the water is only on for about maybe two minutes. Although it was pretty hot there in summer,I’d never taken showers in cold water!I couldn’t imagine what it was like in winter.

I also noticed that although the'family had a car,they hardly ever used it. The father took the bus to work in the morning and the mother rode her bicycle when going on short trips. The family was well-off rather than poor,but they tried to drive less. As Americans,however,we are quite used to taking long showers and driving everywhere,using much more energy than French people.

Living in Montpellier and seeing people’s frugal life there,I get angry thinking of the resources wasted in the United States. When I came home,I was much more energy-conscious. I didn't drink coffee out of a bowl anymore,but I started riding my bike to school and turning the thermostat down at night.

1. According to Paragraph 1 ,Americans and the French are different in

A. their eating habits

2. What can we learn about taking showers in Montpellier?

A. People take showers every day.

3. We know from Paragraph 3 that the French family

A. lived a poor life

B. made full Use of their car

C. enjoyed taking short trips

D. had environmental awareness

4. The underlined word “frugal” in the last paragraph probably means .

A. quiet
