and healthy. But diets dont always allow us to learn new eating habits, improve our self-image, or make lifestyle. changes. Developing good eating habits and proper exercise is a permanent issue. And its the main topic of this workshop. In order to keep a healthy diet and minimise the risk of disease, its essential to eat a diet that consists of low-fat foods and to maximise energy with carbohydrates. Beef, nuts, oils, and most dairy products are rich in fat, so you should eat less of those; while pastry, rice, potatoes, and bread contain almost no fat and are a high-energy source of complex carbohydrates. You know that many food manufactures use sugar to make low-fat or fat-free foods taste good, but dont worry too much about that. You dont necessarily "get fat" by eating sugar, since sugar is an indirect fat. When you exercise, carbohydrates are the first calories to burn. If you want to burn off fat, its good to do some sort of aerobic exercise such as biking, swimming, running, or fast walking. But you have to keep doing this exercise for at least twenty minutes because it takes about that long before we start to burn fat. And then the effect of burning fat decreases after 45 minutes of exercise. So if you do some sort of aerobic exercise for three to four days a week for about thirty to forty minutes, youll have an effective schedule for reducing weight. Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard. 20. According to the speaker, which should you eat more？ 21. What does the speaker say is burned at the beginning of exercise？ 22. According to the speaker, what is the most effective exercise time schedule for reducing weight？20．

A．Carbohydrates.

B．Indirect fat.

C．Body fluid.

D．Fat.

It is possible to feel tired【C4】______ and still be unable to fall asleep, because while your body may be exhausted, you dont feel【C5】______. To fall asleep, you need adequate time to unwind,【C6】______ you feel fatigued, not so easy to【C7】______ "turn off." According to Carl E. Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda, Maryland, most people do not allow themselves【C8】_____ deceleration. Lack of sleep【C9】______ matters even more. Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night to【C10】______ properly. When you get less sleep than【C11】______ on consecutive nights, you begin to accrue "sleep debt".【C12】______ sleep debt increases and functionality decreases, your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline.

Power sleeping for more hours on weekends is only a【C15】______ solution. "There is no【C16】______ for getting a good nights sleep on a【C17】______ basis," says Hunt. Most of us,【C18】______, dont get the sleep we need.

Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to defending digital rights, is calling for an "Open Wireless Movement" and encouraging people to be "socially responsible" by sharing their connection. Eckersley compares the current situation of locked-down networks to "finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water", and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that share a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable, really. But Eckersley says that "individuals can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider", but the law is far from clear in this area and differs from country to country. In a footnote on his article, Eckersley says US law "may" offer protection, but that didnt prevent a man who left his network open from being called a paedophile(恋童癖者)by armed police in his living room this past weekend. Courts in Germany have previously ruled that people can be fined if they allow unauthorised users to access illegal materials through their connection, while in the UK disputes over recent changes to the law leave the matter uncertain. Perhaps these legal concerns can be overcome by turning to an unlikely role-model — Estonia, where access to the Internet is a legal human right. The country is blanketed in a network of free Wi-Fi access points in cafes, bars and other public locations, allowing people to easily get online almost anywhere. So who wants to open up their network first？

ill us but the doubters insisted that we didnt know for sure.That the evidence was inconclusive , the science uncertain？ That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way？ Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves. Excerpt 2 If you smoke and you still dont believe that theres a definite between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself.No one will accuse you of hypocrisy.Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking.This neednt make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company.Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil.Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures.In Britain, for example, cigarette advertising has been banned on television.The conscience of the nation is appeased, while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death. You dont have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so lukewarm.The answer is simply money.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax.Its almost like a tax on our daily bread.In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities.So while the authorities point out ever so discreetly that smoking may, conceivably, be harmful,it doesnt do to shout too loudly about it. Excerpt 3 The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures."Some lyrics advocate the smoking of marijuana (大麻) or taking other drugs, and certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a persons lifestyle, " the study says. Excerpt 4 I recall how annoying it was years ago when smoking everywhere was legal in California.Many complained about the restrictions when they arrived, but I didnt, because I seriously hated watching shoppers smoking through the tomatoes and lettuce in the vegetable section of the store. People forget how sickening that used to be, especially with the butts all over the grocery store floor.Tossing a burning smoke on the ground, stomping it with your foot, and leaving it to be swept up by somebody else later was somehow OK. Excerpt 5 Mark Twain once observed that giving up smoking is easy.He knew, because hed done it hundreds of times himself.Giving up for ever is a trifle more difficult, apparently, and it is well known that it is much more difficult for some people than for others.Why is this so？ Few doctors believe any longer that it is simply a question of will power.And for those people that continue to view addicts as merely "weak", recent genetic research may force a rethink.

An argument made by supporters of smoking was that______.

A．there was no scientific evidence of the correlation between smoking and death

B．the number of early deaths of smokers in the past decades was insignificant

C．people had the freedom to choose their own way of life

D．antismoking people were usually talking nonsense
