The Biggest Stadiums in the World

People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.

These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities （容量）slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each；gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge （排放）your body's toxins（毒素）and recover your energy.

One popular option is hot-stone massage （按摩）. Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body's toxins.

Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity （湿气）that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45C.The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.

Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.

The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.

8、What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text？

A.Swimming in white water. B.Living in cold winter.

C.Lying on the warm beds. D.Discharging lots of sweat.

9、What can we know from the text？

A.There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.

B.Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.

C.Using water of about 45C to wash the body is good for the health.

D.People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.

10、What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy？

A.It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.

B.It successfully cured many people of cancer.

C.It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.

D.It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.

C.The Amazing Functions of the Hot-stone Therapy

D.The Origin and Development of the Hot-stone Therapy

On the "healthy" section of any breakfast menu, you're bound to spot an egg white omelet（煎蛋卷） With no fat and just a quarter of the calories in a whole egg, the whites look like the best choice at first glance. Not so fast, though new research shows a good reason why you might want to keep the yolk （蛋黄）in if you want to get fit. Plus, forget the bad impression that the cholesed （胆固醇）in yolks has gotten in the past. The USDA removed limits on dietary cholesterol in its most recent dietary guidelines. It's all because evidence doesn't back up claims that the choesterol you eat has much influence on blood cholesterol levels.

In a recent study, researchers had ten young men eat either whole eggs or egg whites after completing a strength-training workout. Both egg choices contained 18 grams of protein, and the eggs were developed with chemical markers. Thanks to them, the researchers tracked how the men's bodies used amino acids （氨基酸）from the eggs and egg whites, and found some surprising results. About 65 to 70 percent of amino acids were available in the blood for both the whole egg and egg white groups suggesting they'd be equally useful in building muscles. But the rest of the results didn't back up that conclusion.

When the researchers looked specifically at how much protein synthesis—the process that helps muscles repair and grow-occurred, one form of egg clearly did better than the other. "Having whole eggs immediately after exercise resulted in greater protein synthesis than just having egg whites, "says lead study author Nicholas Burd in a statement.

Although this study was too small to be conclusive, its conclusion backs up whole egg benefits that nutritionists have been praising for years. From their point of view, egg whites are high-protein, low-calorie, but the yolk contains nearly all of an egg's vitmins. And one study found that adults who eat whole eggs in the morning lose more weight and body fat than those who get the same number of calories from a bread-based breakfast. While no large studies have looked into the weight-loss benefits of whole eggs vs egg whites, there's also no evidence that the 140 calories in two whole large eggs should scare you away. Crack on, egg lovers.

12、What's implied in Paragraph 1？

A.The whites can help people have a good shape.

B.The yolk's function is different from the whites.

C.People tend to consider the yolk to be unhealthy.

D.The yolk has much to do with blood cholesterol levels.

13、Why were the eggs developed with chemical markers？

A.To help process the proteins better.

B.To make them healthier for people.

C.To track the amino acids during digestion.

D.To help the body consume amino acids.

14、The findings of the recent study mainly show that

A.amino acids are easy to get in eggs

B.eating the whole egg helps build muscles

C.the yolk of the egg is better than the white

D.egss can produce more proteins than any other kinds of food

15、What would be the best title for the text？

A.Eggs Whites VS Whole Eggs

B.Egg White Omelets or Just the Yolk

C.The Correct Way to Build Muscles

D.Unknown Facts about Egg White Omelets
