  One of the things teachers dread is to have charge of a class dominated by a large,stupid,bullying boy. David Horsey gives such a young rude truly nightmarish (垂梦般的) proportions in today's cartoon:too large to fit in the room.

  The teacher in the cartoon is trying to interest her pupils in a violin. There are many ways in which to think about a violin:how it is played,how it makes those sounds,the kind of music that one can play on it,how the violin was crafted,who produced it,the historical origin of the violin,its beauty as an object,attitudes toward violins and violin music,etc. The violin is a perfect tool for stimulating curiosity and imagination,for encouraging experiment,for exciting wonder,for training taste. And such undertakings as these are fundamental to the best Western concept of education,just as important as the mastery of facts. Facts are important,but facts are also dead in themselves. Good education must include giving children experience in using facts to explore the unknown,in groups and on their own,and also to formulate opinions and impressions,and to defend them in debate.

  But progress in such matters as imagination,creativity and responsiveness cannot easily be tested,at least not numerically,while success in memorizing facts can be measured in neat ways to satisfy the bureaucrats (官僚) .Now President Bush has promised to improve American primary education,and most observers would agree that it needs improvement. He sides with the people who emphasize the use of tests to guarantee that pupils are reaching certain minimums in math and reading. That is the approach taken in the "No Child Left Behind" Act passed by Congress early in the Bush presidency:forced testing of children and schools,with published results for the schools and punitive (惩罚性的) measures for under performers.

  But Horsey sympathizes with teachers who complain that teaching to tests has little to do with true education. Education in fact is easy to organize;education for life―in using all the capacities of one's mind to meet the challenges of life―is an art that bureaucrats,like the class bully,know nothing about and want to hear nothing of.

  We know the effect calories have on your body. For each pound of weight that your body carries,it takes about 12 calories per pound per day to keep it alive. If you weigh 150 pounds,you therefore need about (150 x 12) 1,800 calories per day to keep yourself alive and maintain that same weight.

  If you were to eat more than 1,800 calories per day,the surplus turns into fat. It takes about 3 ,600 excess calories to make a pound of fat.

  Let's say that you were to eat,on average,2,000 calories per day. That extra 200 calories per day is going to turn into fat. However,you will eventually hit a point of equilibrium (平衡,均衡) because as you gain weight,you need more calories to maintain that weight. So,a person eating an average of 2,000 calories per day will hit equilibrium at (2,000 / 12) 166.67 pounds.So let's say that you eat,on average,2,000 calories per day and reach equilibrium at 166 pounds. Then you go on a crash diet where you eat only 1,000 calories per day for 60 days. You lose 16 pounds and reach your target weight of 150 pounds. But then you go right back to eating 2,000 calories per day again. The graph below shows your eating pattern before,during and after the diet:

  Note that the graph assumes that you,like most people,eat a random number of calories per day. Some days you are "good" and eat less,and some days you are   "bad" and eat more,but the assumption is that it averages out to 2,000 calories per day over the long run. This graph shows what happens to your weight before,during and after the diet :

  The diet really takes the weight off. But the weight comes right back when you return to your "normal" eating pattern. The weight appears to come back so quickly because when you are at your lightest,you tend to gain more weight each day. The lighter you are,the fewer calories you need. If you only need 1,500 calories per day and you're eating 2,000,you're going to gain weight faster than if you need 1 ,800 and you're eating 2,000.

  There are only two ways to keep the weight off:

  Change your overall eating pattern so that you take in,on average,fewer calories than before you went on the diet.

  Start exercising so that you "burn" the extra calories you take in.

  The best course of action is a combination of these two options.

(   ) 5. The problem that the writer tries to deal with is         .

   A. how to lose weight fast while changing the diet

   B. why the weight comes back so quickly once one stops dieting

   C. how to reach the point of equilibrium

   D. what your target weight is

(   ) 6. What can we learn from the two graphs?

   A. It is hard to keep one's normal weight.

   B. The better way for you to lose weight is keeping your dieting. ,

   C. You will gain weight faster than before dieting.

   D. It is not necessary for you to lose weight by dieting.

(   ) 7. According to the passage,if you weighed 100 pounds and you were to eat on average 1400 calories per day,a year later,you would be         .

   A. 100 pounds   B. 166.67 pounds

   C. 116. 67 pounds   D. 97 pounds

(   ) 8. What is the best way to keep the weight off according to the passage?

   A. Keep your diet and never stop.

   B. Return your overall eating pattern and exercise more.

   C. Take in fewer calories than before your diet and exercise more.

   D. Change your diet and start exercising to burn the extra calories.
