If you really want to see that number on weight loss, what you put in your mouth matters most. People who simply cut calories to lose weight lose about 2 pounds a week, says a study in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders. At the same time, people who exercise but don't cut calories drop less than half a pound each week.

Why doesn't the physical activity produce the same pound-dropping results as calories cut? One thought is that though exercise burns calories, it doesn't increase your metabolism （新陈代谢）, says a study in Obesity Reviews. It doesn't stop your metabolism from slowing as you lose pounds. As you slim down through any method, your metabolism slows with your weight loss and exercising doesn't keep that from happening. As you lose weight, you burn fewer calories through exercise. For example, a 150-pound person who exercises for 30 minutes burns about 306 calories. After losing 10 pounds, that person will burn about 286 calories doing the same exercise. So to burn 306 calories, you need to increase your exercise.

A research shows people who diet and exercise for weight loss drop the same amount of weight as people who have a balanced diet. They are, however, more successful keeping the weight off than their counterparts （相当的人）who simply eat less.

 26. Why can't the physical activity help people lose the same weight as calories cut?

A. Because it doesn't increase metabolism.

B. Because it doesn't burn calories.

C. Because it burns less calories than calories cut.

D. Because calories cut slows metabolism.

27. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The physical activity is the most useful to lose weight.

B. As you lose weight, you burn more calories through exercise.

C. Doing exercise has the same effect with diet.

D. People who exercise but don't cut calories will lose less weight.

28. What's the main idea of this passage?

A. How to lose weight.

B. How to diet.

C. People who like sports can easily lose weight.

D. People who have a balanced diet can lose weight easily.

B

Maria Montessori is a famous Italian educationalist, whose method of teaching has influenced people all over the world.

Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a "Children's House" in Rome in 1907. The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913.

Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It's a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation skills by doing different activities.

In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students' eyes to wonder around them.

A. typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation rather than competition.

Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges.

29. How old was Montessori when she became a doctor?

A. 24.

B. 25.

C. 26.

D. 27.

31. Which of the following is NOT the idea of the Montessori Method?

A. The teacher is not a leader but a guide.

B. Make children repeat the same activity every day.

C. Help children become more independent.

D. Encourage children to learn by themselves.
