21、How to Maintain a Healthy Body Weight

Our life is too much involved in work, earning money and eating junk food. Keeping the body in good shape should be the first priority in our daily schedule. Nutrition is a key factor, but our health depends not only on what nutrients we eat, but how much of those nutrients we absorb, and how well and how regularly the body’s waste products are eliminated. 【1】 Once these are in place, you can achieve your ideal shape.

Try not to eat too much junk food

【2】 Eating lots of pizzas, burgers, and so on not only makes you feel lazy and increases your body fat, but it can also cause heart problems.

Eat healthily when you eat out

When you see these words on the menu, skip these items altogether or share them so that you can eat a smaller part: “fried”, “cream sauce”, “cheese” and “dipped”. Don’t give up on going out to eat. Simply learn how to do it the right way and get a sense of how many calories there are in what you are ordering.

【3】

Make a habit of doing exercise every day

Find an exercise that you like. Don’t simply start exercising. Experiment with different activities in different settings with different people until you find the one that you love doing.

【4】 You won’t do it often enough to maintain a healthy body weight unless you love it.

【5】

Make friends with people who you notice exercising in the neighborhood or walking at lunchtime. Take your lunch breaks with people who take a packed lunch to work. Your aim is to find like-minded people that share the goal of maintaining a healthy body weight. They can work out with you, give you tips and encourage you to keep going whenever you want to quit.

A．Make friends with neighbors and co-workers.

B．Have lunch with your neighbors and co-workers.

C．You can maintain a healthy body weight, even if you eat out.

D．There is no such thing as the “best” exercise if you don’t do it often enough.

E．You will need to build a few healthy habits into your lifestyle.

F．Junk food is to blame for your weight gain, so try to eat less junk food.

G．You can find the best exercise once you start exercising with the help of trainers.

22、It is likely that on American TV shows you at times will be attracted by rubber balls on people’s desks. 【1】 People can squeeze them when feeling stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.

Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people. 【2】 In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China. Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress. By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands. 【3】 And today, we have many gadgets (器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). 【4】 You have to spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.

【5】 But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping (应对),” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.

A．This helped them relax as well.

B．These gadgets may look like simple toys.

C．It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.

D．These balls are known as “stress relief balls”.

E．Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.

F．This was the perfect way to ease away your tension.

G．A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.

24、Every year, TIME highlights inventions that are making the world better, smarter and even a bit more fun. Here are some selected ones that will absolutely blow your kids’ mind.

Sphero Indi ($124.99)

Coding is a matter of problem-solving and pattern recognition. Sphero Indi teaches both, no screen required. Instead, kids use different-colored cards to move a robotic car from point A to B — green cards increasing its speed, pink cards telling it to turn left, and so on. “We really wanted to bring these abstract concepts into the physical world,” says Jeff Wiencrot, one of the product developers.

Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand ($39.95)

The effort to get kids interested in science just got a helping hand — a cyborg hand, to be precise. Kids build a robotic arm that copies their hand gestures, while they learn about engineering and robotics. Once assembled (组装) and slipped on like a glove, the device passes forces from the user’s fingers to the extended ones of the robotic hand.

Sproutel Purrble ($49.99)

For children who are upset for some reason, Purrble comes to their rescue. An interactive toy equipped with seven sensors that respond to touch, Purrble’s heartbeat speeds up when it senses somebody’s playing with it. Kids can then comfort their companion with gentle petting, slowing Purrble’s rapid heartbeat to a purr (咕噜声) — calming themselves as well in the process.

Lego recycled brick (Unpriced)

The Lego Group, intending to make all Lego bricks from sustainable resources by 2030, spent the past three years testing different recycled PET plastic materials, and finally developed its first recycled PET brick that is nearly identical to the usual brick. The Danish toy company hopes to integrate the recycled blocks into Lego sets in the next 18 to 24 months.

【1】What do Sphero Indi and Thames & Komos Mega Cyborg Hand have in common?

A．They train kids in programming.

B．They are invented by kids.

C．They need fitting together first.

D．They combine fun with learning.

【2】Which invention best suits kids who need emotional comfort?
