Morison and Philip were classmates. They lived in the same town. After they left school, Morison became the manager(经理)of a flower shop and Philip became a doctor in a hospital.

  Philip made a girlfriend. He bought a red rose for her each day to show his love. The flowers made her very happy. Sometimes he took the rose to her himself. But when he was busy in the hospital, he asked Morison to give the rose to her instead of him.

  One afternoon, Philip came into the flower shop and said to Morison.I’ll go to another town to work today. I have no time to give the letter and the flowers to my girlfriend. Please give her the letter and twenty-four roses.

  In the evening, when Morison was closing the door of the shop, Philip came.

  “Morison, how many roses did you give my girlfriend this morning?asked Philip angrily.

  “I gave her thirty.answered Morison.

  “Why did you do that?asked Philip.

  “I thought you often bought roses for her in my shop. I want to give her six roses as the gifts(赠品). Six is a good number, you know.said Morison.

How Exercise Burns Fat

  The kind of exercise that reduces fat is called aerobic exercise(增氧健身法). Aerobic exercises have walking, running, swimming, bicycling. During aerobic exercise, the heart beats faster and breathing is heavier. The more oxygen you breathe in combines with fat and slowly bunts the fat away. Aerobic exercise (20 to 30 minutes of exercise three or more times a week) also raises the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢); the body bums more calories(卡)all the time?--even at rest!

How Much to Exercise

  To improve health and bum fat, people should exercise 20 to 30 minutes three to five times a week. Most children usually have no problem finishing this since their activity levels tend(趋向)to be higher than adults. But if your children, or perhaps your whole family, are over weight, they may need more exercise. This means aerobic exercise?--faster heart rate, increased breathing, muscles working. Don’t let your children or yourself overdo it. A good rule is the talking / singing rule: if they are breathing too heavily to sing, but can still talk, the intensity(强度)is just about right.
