Four Ways to Beat Summer Weight Gain

When we think of summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer. In reality, summer isn’t all beach volleyball and water sports. Therefore, we can gain weight easily in the summer. 1. Here are four ways to beat summer weight gain.

1. 2. When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by aiming for a specific goal, like volunteering or mastering a new skill. Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!

2. Stay busy. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy. In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, getting loads of stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. 3..

3. Beat the heat. Don’t let summer heat put your exercise plans on hold. 4. if a gym isn’t your scene, try howling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, try swimming or a regular run in the early morning or evening.

4. 5. with school out, we lose our daily routines. If you don’t have a specific job or an activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure – like getting up at the same time each day. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast.

A. Stick to a schedule.

B. Get going with goals.

C. Relax by walking outside.

D. Move your workout indoors.

E. We usually stay at home in summer.

F. That’s especially true if a dream summer job falls through.

G. However, it’s easy to avoid this problem if we know what to look out for.

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

1.If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.

A. is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams

B. has some dreams but he is realistic

C. is honest, open and easy to deal with

D. is honest, open but hard to deal with

2.From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.

A. help a student get down to the earth

B. wake a student up

C. help a daydreaming student come down

D. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic

3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

B. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

C. the opposite direction is always wrong

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

It is never too late to try to make your dreams come true. This could be Mary Moe’s motto—the expression that best presents her spirit. Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years. For much of that time, she wanted to fly, but never had the chance—until now. She recently achieved her life-long dream.

Mary just learned how to fly an airplane, a dream she has had since she was a little girl. Growing up, she was inspired by two American pilots: Charles Lindburgh Amelia Earhart. They became her inspiration. Lindbugh made the solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to make the flight. But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true. At age 34, she was just too busy—busy fighting cancer. She was also busy with her job in advertising and busy raising her family.

There was simply no time to think about flying a plane. And it was difficult for her to drive to the airport. Lessons were costly. Everything seemed to be working against Mary.

“I had actually gone out to that airport in the 1980s to see about flying lessons and it was such a long drive out and expensive and I thought, ‘No, I have to put this back burner for a while.’” So her dream had to wait. She kept it on the back burner. Then, at age 91, her wish finally came true.

Ms Moe learned about Wish of a lifetime. Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization whose goal is to change the way our society thinks about aging and older adults.

Sally Webster works for the group. Wish of Lifetime helps older people, senior citizens, enjoy a dream. It also sends the message that it is never too late for a dream. So they really try to look for those stories that are inspiring and can show people that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can.

1. In her thirties, Mary Moe must have ___________

A. lived a smooth life B. been unemployed

C. spent a hard time D. learned how to fly

2.The underlined part is closest in meaning to “_____________”

A. set this down B. put this off

C. cut this off D. give this away

3.Wish of Lifetime is set up in order to_____________.
