21、Two summers ago, I decided to begin a weight loss journey but had no idea where to start. And now, two years later, I have yet again decided to start being healthy and I need some knowledge about what to do. Now, I want to share it with all of you.
The most important thing that I have come to realize is that you have to see this as a lifestyle change, not just a diet that can end or fail. 【1】 You will also feel less pressure if you eat a burger once in a while since you think you haven’t failed a diet and that you can always go twice as hard the next day.
【2】 It is calories in versus calories out if you put it in simple terms. If you want to lose weight, you must be eating in a way that your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative.
【3】 It is better to eat healthy food with more calories than a low-cal pack of chips. Calorie counting can also become a bit unhealthy if not well controlled. So I recommend just eating well and controlling the amounts of food instead.
Exercise is also vital to a healthier life. Although cardio (健心运动) is known for its quick result, weights are also essential. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Therefore, people with more muscle mass are able to burn what they eat quicker, resulting in a greater calorie reduction. 【4】
Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss.
【5】 It may take time to find out what your body can handle and needs, but do not quit. Good luck and happy eating.
A.However, calories are not everything.
B.Moreover, weight loss is essentially just math.
C.Diets can help you lose some weight temporarily.
D.It is also just beneficial in life to be physically strong!
E.If you don’t, it is likely that the weight will come back.
F.So my tip here is to eat what makes you personally feel good.
G.Therefore, it is very important to calculate and control calories accurately.

23、The icebreaker Polarstern was frozen in sea ice, for nearly a year. On board were about a hundred scientists and crew members who were braving the polar winter to study climate change in the Arctic. I was there too, photographing the first leg of the MOSAiC expedition. It was the longest and largest Arctic expedition (探险) in history and, for me, a gift from the universe.
Four years earlier I’d fallen ill because of the ice and cold on my first Aretic assignment. When I returned home, I vowed to devote my photography to the fragile polar environment that had attracted me. Shortly afterward I heard about MOSAiC and knew I had to go.
By the time the Polarstern set sail from Tromso, Norway, on September 20, 2019, I’d been on nine other polar expeditions. MOSAiC was different. For one thing, the first few legs took place during the long polar night. For another, help was very far away.
We arrived at the ice floe (浮冰) on October 4, one of the last days the sun rose above the horizon. Very soon the days passed in darkness.
Photographing was difficult. Wind and blowing snow made it hard to see through the camera’s view-finder. My hands became painfully cold. Many times I saw a beautiful moment but couldn’t capture it because my hands weren’t working.
The darkness also held terrors, which for me meant polar bears. As a polar bear guard on the ice, I stood alone with my rifle (步枪) outside a tent. There was too much wind, snow and darkness to see anything, even an eight-foot-tall polar bear.
On December 13 we saw a ship on the horizon coming to drop off the next team and pick us up. The return to Tromse took 16 days. About a week after my return I was in Washington, D. C. for National Geographic’s Storytellers Summit. As I walked through the city streets one morning, I had a sudden realization: I could’t fall through the ice into the ocean here. I didn’t have to scan the horizon for polar bears. I was safe. In that moment I understood how vigilant (警觉的) I’d become and how much fear I had felt. And yet, I missed the darkness so much.
【1】Why is the Arctic expedition a gift from the universe for the author?
A.It gave him an unforgettable experience.
B.It enabled him to study climate change in the Arctic.
C.It helped him practise his photographic skills in the Arctic.
D.It allowed him to shoot a polar bear with the gun.
【2】Why was the author determined to join the MOSAiC expedition?
A.He had heard about MOSAiC before.
B.He hadn’t been to the Arctic for a long time.
C.He had once fallen under the ice in the Arctic.
D.He wanted to devote himself to taking photos of the Arctic.
【3】What does the author say about his experience in the Arctic?
A.A polar bear broke into his tent.
B.Beautiful moments couldn’t be captured at all.
C.He was the last to see the sun rise above the horizon.
D.His photographing was affected by extreme weather.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The author was sensitive to everything in his daily life.
B.The author was likely to go Arctic expedition again.
C.The author arrived in Washington D. C. on December 29.
D.The author attended the Summit after his first Arctic assignment.
24、A smart phone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. Try the following steps and you will improve your battery life.
1. Let there be less light
For larger smart phones, the longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try making the screen as dark as you can bear it and still read a text. Darkening the screen is common among teenagers, but it may be hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.
2. Turn off the signals
Your smart phone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more. These activities do drain your battery life, so you should turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is also another feature that burns up your battery, so you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.
3. Turn off notifications (通告)
Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games and sites. Your phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the Internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.
4. Use battery saving mode (模式)
For a quick way to improve your battery, simply put your smart phone in Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is too limiting, some phones have a specific battery saver mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, some updates and more.
If used properly, these tips above will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.
【1】The underlined word “drain” means “ ”.
A. light up B. use up
C. pick up D. make up
【2】If you want to improve your battery life, you are advised to use a .
A. small screen B. large screen
C. bright screen D. round screen
【3】We can infer that aged people tend to .
A. email family members B. use Location Services
C. darken the screen D. brighten the screen
【4】We can learn that Airplane Mode can .
A. improve signals B. waste energy
C. affect health D. save power
