21、When it comes to summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer. In reality, summer isn’t all beach volleyball and water sports. Therefore, we can gain weight easily in the summer. 【1】 Here are four ways to beat summer weight gain.
【2】 When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by aiming for a specific goal, like volunteering, mastering a new skill, or working at a job. Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!
Stay busy. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy. In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, filling your days with something to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. 【3】 .
Beat the heat. Don’t let summer heat put your exercise plans on hold. 【4】 If a gym isn’t your scene, try bowling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, try joining a local pool or move a regular run or soccer game to early morning or evening.
【5】 With school out, we lose our daily routines. If you don’t have a specific job or an activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure — like getting up at the same time each day.
A.Move your workout indoors.
B.If we know what to look out for, however, it’s easy to avoid this problem.
C.Relax by walking outside.
D.That’s especially true if a dream summer job falls through.
E.We usually stay at home in the summer.
F.Stick to your schedule.
G.Get going with goals.
22、As more schools open for in-person learning and some organized sports start again, many children are returning to the world after having packed on extra body weight. While data is few on whether there’s been a rise in children’s weight over the pandemic(大流行病), some health professionals have seen worrisome signs. Suzannah Stivison, a nurse in Kensington, Md. , said that some of her patients put on what she calls “the other COVID- 19”— as in, 19 pounds
A loss of daily arrangements, in school and extracurriculars, left kids looking for a sense of control that many have found in eating. One of the ways that people regained a routine and a schedule within their families was most likely around meals. Since last March, adults joined the bread-baking craze and ate junk food as they liked.
Stivison herself admits the bad effect of the pandemic. “I never have Cheetos in my house. But all of a sudden, they appeared, ”she said. “And this has been a phenomenon that I have seen in lots of houses. Eating became something we could control. And it’s also something we use for comfort.”
Children tend to gain weight during periods like summer vacation, when fewer are getting regular exercise through organized sports and physical education. But there are supportive ways parents can help get their kids back to a healthier lifestyle. It’s less about talking and more about setting an example. Talking about risk factors such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease doesn’t really work, especially with younger kids. Kids know they’re heavier than their peers. They know they get out of breath.
However, parents can model good habits like exercising an hour a day or keeping the house stored with healthier foods. “It really comes down to the modeling and the opportunity we can control what food comes into the house, ” Stivison said. “And so guess what? I’ve stopped buying Cheetos. ”
【1】What does the phrase “the other COVID- 19”in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Patients’ dress size.
B.A serious disease.
C.Children’s weight gain.
D.An effective treatment.
【2】What did kids do to regain a sense of control?
A.They ate unhealthy food.
B.They helped prepare meals.
C.They arranged schoolwork.
D.They learned bread-baking.
【3】Why is Cheetos mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.To prove the benefit of eating.
B.To recommend a popular food.
C.To share a way to find comfort.
D.To show a change in eating habit.
【4】What can parents do to help their kids?
A.Set an example of positive living.
B.Ask the kids to exercise regularly.
C.Talk about the risks of extra weight.
D.Control the amount of food at home.

24、 The world’s most popular animals are in more danger than we realize, according to a new study. A survey of the Public’s Knowledge suggests many people are unaware that the animals they consider “inviting” are under threat in the wild. These include lions, elephants, tigers and other animals which frequently appear in branding and advertising.
The idea of “inviting” species has come up recently in Conservation Biology, explains Dr. Franck Courchamp, the study’s lead author. “There is a regular claim that the most ‘inviting’ species are attracting most of the time and resources. I started wondering whether this was true and followed by better results in conservation,” he told BBC News.
Using an online survey available in four languages, researchers asked the public to name the wild species they considered most attracting. They also looked at how frequently animals were represented on zoo websites, and on the covers of Disney and Pixar films. Additionally, the team had volunteers in France catalogue their meeting with virtual (虚拟的) populations of the 10 most “inviting” animals over the period of a week. They saw an average of 4.4 lions in cartoons, magazines and other sources each day, suggesting that people are likely to see two to three times as many “virtual” lions in a year as there are lions in West Africa. “Mostly I think because people see giraffes and lions every day of their life, they unconsciously think they are in abundance,” Dr. Courchamp said.
Despite their abundant media representation, nine of the animals on the list are classed as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. When researchers asked survey participants whether they thought these animals were endangered, almost half of the participants thought that critically endangered gorillas (大猩猩) were not under threat.
As for this, Dr. Courchamp proposes a solution. Companies would donate money to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in return for using the animals in their branding or advertising. “I think it’s not so unrealistic,” says Dr. Courchamp. “There are already some companies that do that. Jaguar is in partnership with Panthera, an organization protecting wild cat species. Lacoste also made a campaign recently where they replaced their logo with images of endangered species.”
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.The ten most attracting animals.
B.The importance of saving wild animals.
C.Animals’ images needing more attention.
D.Animals’ attraction harming their conservation.
【2】According to Dr. Courchamp, survey participants’ views are unconsciously affected by _____.
A.the media B.their preferences
C.the IUCN Red List D.other participants’ opinions
【3】How might the researchers feel about survey participants’ answers?
A.Relieved. B.Surprised.
C.Frightened. D.Excited.
【4】What is Dr. Courchamp’s solution?
A.Raising people’s environmental awareness.
B.Asking big companies to organize campaigns.
C.Funding conservation by trading animals’ images.
D.Appealing for cooperation in NGOs for animal protection.
