Yga has a well-deserved reputatin fr helping t imprve balance and flexibility and fr prmting calm and relaxatin. But when it cmes t weight lss, many peple assume that ther types f exercise, like cardi r strength training will be mre helpful. While yu might nt burn as many calries (卡路里) by practicing yga as yu wuld by running r ding sme ther high-intensity aerbic activity (有氧运动), yga can still raise yur heart rate and help build muscle-and, at rest, muscle burns abut twice as many calries as fat des. “Studies shw that aerbic frms f exercise, which is any exercise that uses yur large muscle grups and raises yur heart rate, are beneficial fr weight lss,” says Sally Sherwin, a yga teacher with the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Yga. “Pwer r vinyasa yga, a type f high intensity yga, fits this kind.”
Just hw many calries yu burn varies depending n hw lng and intense yur exercise is, as well as ther factrs, such as yur weight, age and gender. But accrding t Erin Caspersn, lead faculty with the Kripalu Center fr Yga &Health, practicing yga can als help yu burn mre calries lng after yu hit the mat, even if yu dn’t d mre intense frms f yga. That’s because yga’s ther benefits can help with weight lss t.
Yga helps manage stress, and studies shw that high levels f crtisl (皮质醇), a stress hrmne, can lead t an increase in abdminal fat, Crtisl surges can als increase yur cravings fr high-fat and high sugar fds and drinks while simultaneusly reducing yur muscle mass. “Yga has an impact n the bdy’s stress respnse and reduces the prductin f hrmnes linked t weight gain such as crtisl,” Erin Caspersn says.
Several studies have cnfirmed that ding yga des reduce crtisl levels. In ne study, researchers fund that practicing yga seemed t impact the hypthalamus (下丘脑), reducing crtisl prductin. And a 2020 study fund that ding meditative yga reduced participants’ salivary crtisl levels.
28. What can be inferred frm paragraph 1?

B. Yu might burn mre calries by practicing yga than running.
C. Yga plays an imprtant rle in raising yur heart rate and building muscles.

Wh first prpsed the hliday fr wrkers? It’s nt entirely clear, but tw wrkers can make a slid claim t the Funder f Labr Day title.
Sme recrds shw that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary f the Brtherhd f Carpenters and Jiners and a c-funder f the American Federatin f Labr, suggested setting aside a day fr a “general hliday fr the labring classes”. But many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, nt Peter McGuire, funded the hliday.
The first Labr Day hliday was celebrated n Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New Yrk City, in accrdance with the plans f the Central Labr Unin. The Central Labr Unin held its secnd Labr Day hliday just a year later, n September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 mre states had adpted the hliday, and n June 28, 1894, President Grver Cleveland signed a law making the first Mnday in September f each year a natinal hliday.
Many Americans celebrate Labr Day with parades (游行), picnics and parties — festivities very similar t thse utlined by the first prpsal fr a hliday, which suggested that the day shuld be bserved with a street parade t exhibit “the strength and spirits f the trade and labr rganizatins” f the cmmunity, fllwed by a festival fr the recreatin and amusement f the wrkers and their families. This became the pattern fr the celebratins f Labr Day.
Speeches by imprtant fficial men and wmen were intrduced later, as mre emphasis was placed upn the ecnmic and civil significance f the hliday. Still later, by a reslutin f the American Federatin f Labr cnventin f 1909,the Sunday befre Labr Day was adpted as Labr Sunday and dedicated t (致力于) the spiritual and educatinal aspects f the labr mvement.
American labr has raised the natin’s standard f living and cntributed t the greatest prductin the wrld has ever knwn and the labr mvement has brught us clser t the realizatin f ur traditinal ideals f ecnmic and plitical demcracy.
32. What can we knw frm paragraph 2?
A. Peple’s views abut the funder f Labr Day vary.
B. The authr cnsidered Matthew Maguire the funder.
C. Peter J. McGuire wanted t set a few days fr a hliday.
D. Labr Day was riginally set up fr American machinists.
33. What des paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The real meaning f Labr DayB. The develpment f Labr Day
C. The reasn f setting Labr DayD. Peple’s emphasis n Labr Day
34. What des the underlined wrd “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Manners B. Appraches C. Rewards D. Celebratins
35. Which f the fllwing des the authr agree with?
A. It is knwn that America develps very fast.
B. The riginal meaning f Labr Day changes
C. It is wrthwhile t set a day fr the labrer
D. The labr mvement makes the life unsteady
