61．___________________________

You use energy for everything you do．That energy comes from the food you eat．Too much food or too little exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cells．Lighten up on the food or increase your exercise and you might drop a few pounds．But if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, you'll feel more healthy and strong as well as look great．

62．___________________________

You probably have an image in your mind of what the "perfect" or "ideal" body looks like．Try not to press yourself to look that way．Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his /her body．Everyone is different．It is important to be comfortable with the body you have．"Healthy" and "ideal" are not always the same．Healthy eating habits and regular exercise are the best ways to look and feel your personal best．

63．____________________________

Exercise does more than just burn calories．For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have; makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; makes you feels more energetic, even when you're not exercising and improves your mood and makes you feel better about yourself．

64．_____________________________

Always warm up and stretch for 5--10 minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises．Afterward, take 10 minutes to cool down slowly．Your heart should beat  normally when you stop．Do strength and endurance exercises on alternate days, so you will not overwork your body．Exercising as part of a group may help you to exercise regularly．

65．_________________________________

Your body runs best on foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar．You also need a certain amount of protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals．Eating a healthy diet wil1 provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly．Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids（氨基酸）, so you don’t need to buy the amino acids separately．

With a £4 million ITV contract（合同） in her pocket and an engagement （婚约） to her England footballer boyfriend, it's been a good year for Christine Bleakley．Perhaps it's no wonder, as the TV presenter is 31, the age at which women are the most attractive, according to a survey．

While the average British woman of 31 may be married with a child, the survey noted they are at a wonderful age because they have not only youthful beauty but also more confidence and a better sense of style than flesh-faced teenagers．

Some 70 percent of more than 2,000 men and women surveyed considered confidence as a key factor in making a woman attractive, ahead of the 67 percent who included physical beauty and 47 percent who looked for a sense of style．Almost two thirds of the women agreed with the opinion "With age, comes beauty", and over half said that as they age they do away with their insecurities and feel more beautiful, while 55 percent felt they knew the best make-up to wear．

Self-confidence varied widely across the country in the survey: London women emerged as the most confident about their looks, with 37 percent describing themselves as beautiful, compared with just 28 percent of Welsh women．Meanwhile, East Midlands women spend the most on beauty programs —£129．69 monthly—compared with a national average of £105．50．

The research was carried on for TV shopping channel QVC to mark the launch of its "Beauty Month"．QVC marketing director Sue Leeson said: "This research shows what many have always suspected — real beauty is about more than just good looks but a combination of confidence, style and personality, too．”

For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．

At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．

At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over $2,000!

I wailed（痛哭） and asked John, "What are we going to do?"  He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．

When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"

We ended up spending only $50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice．However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris．

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government．

    In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later．

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career．Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935．Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956．

Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best．For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces．One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings．But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of     black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt （柏油） roads?

Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer．He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up．The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside．

The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes．Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road．Some, however, dive deep into the ground．

When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes．At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer （蓄水层） into which several heat exchangers （交换器） have been built．The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe．The aquifer is thus used as a heat store．

In winter, the working system is changed slightly．Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer．This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up．After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice．

46．Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?

       A．Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss．

       B．Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities．

       C．The Dutch engineer's system has been widely used．

       D．Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads．

47．For what purpose are the diving pipes used?

       A．To absorb heat from the sun．               B．To store heat for future use．

       C．To turn solar energy into heat energy．        D．To carry heat down below the surface．

48．From the last paragraph we can learn that ________．

       A．some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter

       B．the system can do more than warming up the building

       C．the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface

       D．less heat may be collected in winter than in summer

49．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

       A．What we shall do if the system goes wrong．

       B．What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads．

       C．How the system cools the building in summer．

       D．How the system collects heat in spring and autumn．
