3 Ways to Keep Tabs on Your Weight

1. WAIST-TO-HIP RATIO

Measuring your waist-to-hip ratio is an accurate way of monitoring changes to your body shape. 【1】 Grab a tape measure and wrap it around your middle, where your belly button sits. Then do the same around your hips’ widest point. 【2】 A ratio of above 0.8 indicates you could be carrying an unhealthy amount of abdominal fat.

2. BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

It’s thrown around a lot these days – but your BMI is a number that indicates your weight in relation to your height. 【3】 A BMI above this can mean an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, both common weight-related conditions. What’s your BMI? 【4】 Easier still, Google “BMI Calculator” and enter your measurements.

3. WAIST MEASUREMENTS.

Your essential organs – liver, spleen, heart, kidneys and lungs – are located just above the waist region. Carrying any extra weight around your waist brings additional burden to these organs, making it harder for them to work efficiently. 【5】 For men, try to stay under 94cm and for women 80cm.

A. How can we do it?

B. How do you do it?

C. How big is too big?

D. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25.

E. A new standard of BMI will come out soon.

F. Then divide the waist measurement by the hips measurement.

G. Simply divide your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared.

【解析】

试题分析：三种方法可以让你保持好你的体重。腰臀围比值、体重指数、腰围这三项是保持好你的体重所需要的重要指标，在日常生活中做到这三项指标达标你的体重就会被控制在一个合理的范围内，加油努力吧。

【1】考查上下文和句意理解。根据下文的句子：Grab a tape measure and wrap it around your middle, where your belly button sits.，和上文中的Measuring your waist-to-hip ratio is an accurate way of monitoring changes to your body shape.可知：空格中的内容应该是你自己如何做，故答案选B。

【2】考查上下文和句意理解。根据上文的句子：Then do the same around your hips’ widest point.（然后在你臀部最宽点的周围做同样的度量），和下文的A ratio of above 0.8 indicates you could be carrying an unhealthy amount of abdominal fat.（大于0.8的比率表明你的腹部有一定量的不健康的脂肪）可选出答案是F。即：Then divide the waist measurement by the hips measurement.（然后用腹部的尺寸除以臀部尺寸）。

【3】考查上下文理解。根据上文的but your BMI is a number that indicates your weight in relation to your height.（但是你的BMI是一个表明你的体重与你的身高的关系的数字。）和下文的句子A BMI above this can mean an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes（一个高于这个数字的BMI可能意味着增加心脏病和II型糖尿病的风险），可知这里应该是填A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25.（一个健康的BMI的值在18.5-25之间），所以这里要填一个标准的区间。 故答案选D。

【4】考查上下文和句意理解。根据上文的句子：What’s your BMI? (你的BMI是多少？) 和下文的句子Easier still, Google “BMI Calculator” and enter your measurements.（相当容易，在Google上搜索BMI计算器并且输入你的尺寸。）可知这里应该是告诉你BMI的计算方法Simply divide your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared.（就是把你的体重（千克）除以你的身高的平方米），故答案是G。

【5】考查上下文和句意理解。本段标题说的是腰围。根据上文的句子Carrying any extra weight around your waist brings additional burden to these organs, making it harder for them to work efficiently.（腰部周围任何多余的重量都会给这些器官带来额外的负担，使得他们有效地运转变得更加困难。）和下文的句子：For men, try to stay under 94cm and for women 80cm.（对于男人来说，尽量保持在94厘米以下。对于女人来说，保持在80厘米以下。），可知此处应该是：How big is too big?（多大算太大？）答案选C。

It’s reported that powerful Cyclone Pam has impacted at least half the population of Vanuatu, which is a South Pacific island nation.

“Vanuatu is used to disasters but the indications are that Cyclone Pam has caused unprecedented damages,” said President Baldwin Lonsdale in a press release.

The leader of the island nation noted that following a direct hit from the Category 5 storm on Friday, at least two deaths have been confirmed and over 30 injured people are being treated in the Central Hospital in the capital, Port Vila where many people are now homeless and torrential rain has led to severe flooding. He also said bridges which link the capital with the rest of the island have been destroyed.

Mr. Lonsdale made his appeal from Sendai, Japan, where he has been attending since Sunday the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction. The Conference has drawn thousands of Government and civil society delegations to craft a new framework for managing disaster risk which will reduce mortality and curb economic losses.

The country is already threatened by coastal erosion and rising sea levels in addition to five active volcanoes and earthquakes. "This is why I am attending this Conference and why Vanuatu wants to see a strong new framework on disaster risk reduction which will support us in tackling the drivers of disaster risk such as climate change."

Meanwhile, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that it is estimated that at least half the population of Vanuatu has been affected by cyclone Pam. Of these, at least 54,000 are children.

Many homes in Vanuatu have likely been destroyed as they are built with natural and local materials such as thatched and corrugated roofs that are vulnerable to strong winds and floods.

Other Pacific Island countries have been severely impacted as well, including the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Kiribati.

A UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team was expected arrive in Port Vila late Saturday. OCHA was also expected to deploy three staff with information management, public information and humanitarian coordination as well.

【题目】Dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study finds．Other than humans, they are the only animals known to do this, according to the study．The big difference with dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles（鸣叫）, not words．

Earlier research found that dolphins have a “signature whistle” that would be somewhat like human shouting, “Hey everybody! I’m an adult healthy male named George, and I mean you no harm．”

The new finding is that dolphins also say the names of certain other dolphins．“Animals produced copies of the same sound when they were separated from a close partner．This supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that animal,” Stephanie King, who led the study, says．

King and her colleagues collected acoustic（声音的）data from wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay, Florida, from 1984 to 2009．The researchers also studied four adult male dolphinshousedat the Seas Aquarium, also in Florida．

Those males are adults that keepers named Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier, all of whom, as well as all of the wild ones, developed their own signature whistles that served as names in communication with other dolphins．

“A dolphin uses its signature whistle to broadcast its identity and announce its presence．The signature whistles allow animals to identify one another over long distances and allow animals to recognize one another and to join up with each other,” King explains．“Dolphin whistles can be heard up to 20km away, depending on water depth and whistle frequency（频率）．”

The researchers said dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones, such as a mother, when the two are separated．These “names” are always used in positive situations, and are only directed toward loved ones．

While researchers are often unwilling to apply the word language to non-human communications, dolphins clearly have a very complex communication system．

【1】The underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”．

A. raised B. saved C. discovered D. hunted

【2】Which of the following plays a part in whether dolphin whistles can be heard over a distance?

A. The dolphin’s identity．

B. The water temperature

C. The whistle frequency．

D. The dolphin’s age．

【3】When do dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones?

A. When there is a fight．

B. When their keeper comes．

C. When they are apart．

D. When they are hungry．

【4】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A magazine about scientific advances．

B. A website about various animals．

C. A report on animal acoustics．

D. An essay about the relationship between humans and animals．

【题目】We all need friends and we always have．Our ancestors found that gaining the basic necessities of life was easier in a group．It’s estimated that the maximum number of people who lived in early communities of hunter-gatherers was 150．

Friends aren’t bound（受……限制）by blood or family bonds, employment contracts or legal obligations．Our circle of associates includes work colleagues and people we meet at parties, in the pub or on the train to work．Some associates are much more important than our family．We are capable of exchanging an email with these associates, and may have mutual acquaintances with a good number of them, providing common ground．We do things for one another because we want to．Whether writing an answer to a photo put on Facebook, sending a birthday card by post, or making a hospital visit, the efforts we have made for our friends are out of kindness．It is this nature of friendship which requires nothing in return that makes it beneficial and valuable．

Friendships take work, and they need to be nurtured, nourished and maintained．We feel good about helping our friends because we are friends．However, we often lose touch with our friends because of a lack of time and energy．When we are carrying a heavy load at work, involved in a serious relationship or raising children, it’s hard to spare time for friends．In these situations, we need to remind ourselves of what friends are for and why they can be so important in our lives．

In a survey of more than 2,000 married couples aged 55 or older, for both men and women, having friends was the best predictor of being satisfied in marriage — possibly because they were more satisfied with their lives as a result of having friends．

Researchers suggest social relationships are the reason why women live longer than men, Social bonds reduce the risk of disease by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol（胆固醇）and heart rate．A lack of good friends is as harmful to your health as smoking or being overweight．Indeed, people without friends are more likely to die younger．Not only do friendships prolong（延长）our lives, they make us happier too．People who are socially active don’t feel so stressed or feel they can not enjoy anything easily — they also tend to feel better about their lives and who they are．

【1】What makes friendship beneficial and valuable?

A. Its being not bound by blood or family bonds．

B. Its being easy to maintain．

C. The good we have done to our friends．

D. That we make efforts for friends out of kindness．

【2】What should we do when we have no time for friends?

A. Quit our jobs．

B. Give our friends calls．

C. Remind ourselves of what friends are for．

D. Turn to our friends for help．

【3】What can we infer from the survey in the fourth paragraph?

A. Having friends makes people satisfied in marriage．

B. The older people are, the more satisfied they are in marriage．

C. Married couples are more satisfied with their lives．

D. Married couples are easier to have friends．

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Friendships prolong our lives and make us happy．

B. Men should learn to be socially active．

C. Women live longer than men．

D. Women tend to be less stressed．

【题目】【改编】Australian scientists say an organic compound used by Indian women to paint dots or bindi on their foreheads could hold the key to a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Rose Bengal (玫瑰红)was first used in the early 1900s as a dye for food, textiles and cosmetics. But now it is proving to be a useful weapon in the fight against skin cancer.

Television advertisements constantly warn of the dangers of overexposure to the fierce sun. Among them is the possibility of the disease melanoma(黑瘤), a type of skin cancer. More than 1,200 Australians die every year from the disease.

Initial trials of a solution of Rose Bengal injected into some melanoma cells have had a 75 percent success rate in controlling the disease. Professor John Thompson, the director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney, says this organic dye could become a powerful cancer-fighting treatment.

“We believe it works by getting into the tumor(肿块) cells and causing them to self-destruct. But the exact mechanism by which it works is not totally clear. It’s not useful for people who have a primary melanoma. The treatment of primary melanoma is surgical excision(切除),”he said. “It’s useful to inject tumors for people who have recurrences; when the primary treatment has failed and when recurrence in the area, or at more distant sites has occurred.”

About 90 percent of Australians who develop melanoma survive thanks to early diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, however, the disease can be fatal.

Convincing younger people in Australia about the dangers of overexposure to the sun is a battle campaigners are constantly waging.

Veronica Manock, a 21-year-old student, had two major operations to remove a cancerous tumor from her leg.

“I’ve had a lot of friends who just said ‘I thought it was just, you know, I’ll get a mole(痣) cut out and that’s it’, whereas I don’t think people realize how much danger they’re putting themselves into and how easy it is to stop something like this happening to you just from doing little things,”said Marock.

Other researchers in Australia are investigating genetic treatments to skin cancer. There is a pressing need for such research to produce effective treatments. Australians, the majority of whom are fair-skinned(浅肤色的), are four times more likely to develop a melanoma than people in Canada, the United States or Great Britain.

【1】Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Rose Bengal —the cause of skin cancer.

B. Rose Bengal —a tool to fight against skin cancer.

C. Skin cancer—the first killer.

D. Melanoma—the threat to health.

【2】What does the underlined word “fatal” mean?

A. Curable. B. Serious. C. Deadly. D. Self-healing.

【3】From what Veronica Manock said , we can know _______.

A. people haven’t realized overexposure to the sun is dangerous

B. mole on the leg is dangerous.

C. people can do nothing to protect themselves from melanoma

D. nothing can be done to deal with the disease.

【4】Who are likely to develop a melanoma?

A. Englishmen. B. Canadians.

C. Americans. D. Australians.

【5】In which section of a newspaper does the passage possibly appear?

A. Economy. B. Agriculture. C. Health. D. Fashion.
