Foods to Eat to Burn More Calories

WATERMELON

Watermelon is brimming with B vitamins which boost your energy levels and curb your need to munch on an extra snack. A cup of diced watermelon contains 46 calories and virtually no fat. Watermelon is a rich source of potassium, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, magnesium, vitamin C, and iron.

Watermelon is one of powerful foods to eat to burn more calories. Watermelon is also high in lycopene, the antioxidant that lower your risk of macular degeneration, heart disease, and cancer. With 90 percent water, watermelon is filling you up, but are not filling you out. Enjoy fresh watermelon juice, smoothie, or use it any summer fruit salad you like.

GRAPEFRUIT

Grapefruits speed up your metabolism and help burn a lot of calories. This fruit will help feel full faster and longer. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database, one half of a grapefruit contains around 53 calories. Moreover, grapefruit is rich in fiber that may help stabilize your blood glucose levels. You can add grapefruit to your fruit salad, smoothies or drink a grapefruit juice.

CELERY

The secret of celery is very simple: it contains less calories and helps burn more than you eat. Celery mostly consists of water and that’s why it is good as a part of a balanced diet.

However, this food is not suitable for celery diet only as your body won’t get the necessary minerals and nutrients. So the best decision will be to combine it with some other foods.

WHOLE GRAINS

Studies show that whole grains are healthier than refined grains and that they lower the risk of getting a chronic disease. This type of grains is also a good part of a diet as it takes more time to digest and you won’t get hungry for a longer period of time. Whole grains are rich in various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates but low in fat.

GREEN TEA

B

I’m 16. On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the weekend and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future. My dad was upset not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I’m going to, how far away it is from home and how much it’s going to cost. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future—if it has a future at all.

He sounded like this: “There will be a pandemic that kills millions, a devastating energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger.”

As I lay on the living room couch, eavesdropping(偷听) on their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos.

There was a picture of my grandfather in his Citadel uniform. He was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great-grandparents, Ellis Island immigrants. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe the world my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.

I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great-grandparents had seen in their life times: two world wars, killer flu, a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, the polio(小儿麻痹症) vaccine, passage of the civil rights laws. They even saw the Red Sox won the World Series—twice.

I believe that my generation will see better things, too—that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as inconceivable to me today as a moon shot was to my grandfather when he was 16, or the Internet to my father when he was 16. Ever since I was a little kid, whenever I’ve had an awful day, my dad would put his arm around me and promise me that “tomorrow will be a better day.” I challenged my father once, “How do you know that?” He said, “I just do.” I believe him. My great-grandparents believed that, and my grandparents, and so do I.

4. On a recent night, the author’s dad was upset about ________.

A. the high college tuition fees

B. the coming dark and difficult future

C. a different future for the author’s generation

D. the long distance between the college and the author’s home

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

A. Though the world was full of awful things, it would get better.

B. If you open your heart, you will see that goodness is everywhere.

C. People of different generations have every confidence in their future.

D. The terrible things around us could be a threat to the future generation.

6. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A. However challenging life is, try to take control of it.

B. Whether you believe or not, wonders will definitely happen.

C. Whenever possible, never hesitate to challenge your parents.

D. Whatever hardships you are suffering, you can expect a better future.

7. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “inconceivable”?

A. Imperceptible. B. Undebatable.

C. Unimaginable. D. Unacceptable.

C

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.

8. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?

A. Where there are no written records, there is no history.

B. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.

D Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.

9. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.

A. the people there did not know how to write.

B. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire.

C. there was nothing worth being written down at that time.

D. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record.

10. “Remembered history” refers to ________.

A. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth.

B. songs and dances about the most important events.

C. history based on a person’s imagination.

D. both A and B.

11. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.

A. made more songs and dances.

B. not burnt their written records in wars.

C. kept a written record of every past event.

D. told exact stories of the most important happenings.

D

There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people what time it’s going to hit. It is always estimated, but the result is never 100% accurate.

However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One is a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies.

As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.

In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing.

I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters, but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.

12. How does the author develop the passage?

A. By narration. B. By comparison.

C. By definition. D. By classification.

13. Why did the author learn about the flood so late?

A. He didn’t care about the flood. B. He felt nervous about the news.

C. The media didn’t cover it in time. D. The flood frightened the author a lot.

14. How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy?

A. Proud. B. Critical. C. Pitiful. D. Sad.

15. What does the author really want to say in the text?

A. Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.

B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.

C. The world should be united into one instantly.

D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Making new friends can be challenging for some people, but it's definitely rewarding. ___16___. They are the ones who walk through life together, share our ups and downs, and pains and joys. If you take a look at the people who seem to make friends easily, you may find that their social skills were likely all picked up over time. For this same reason, you can learn to become more sociable through time and practice. Here are my personal tips to get new friends:

Realize your fear is in your head

The first step is to develop a healthy mental image of meeting new people. Some of us see meeting new people as a scary event. We are concerned about making a good impression. The more we think about it, the scarier it seems. ___17___. Therefore, there is no need to worry about them.

___18___

Don’t change yourself to make new friends. That’s the worst thing you can do. Just be yourself. That way, potential new friends will know you as you, and they’ll use that to decide if they want to take the friendship a step further. It’s all about being you. The truest friendships are built with both parties accepting each other for who they are.

Be there for them

A friendship is a supportive union between two people. Be there for your friends where you can. When you help your friends, don’t do so with the expectation of being helped next time. ___19___. I find that the satisfaction I get from helping others and knowing they are better off is a reward greater than anything I can get in return.

Make the effort to stay in touch

Continual effort is required to maintain the friendship. Ask your friends out every once in a while. ___20___. For some of my best friends, we meet only once every few months. Yet, there’s never any doubt that we’re closely connected and we will be there for each other when needed.

A. Be yourself

B. Change yourself

C. Instead, help unconditionally

D. You can learn a lot from a good friend

E. Actually, all these fears are just in our heads

F. After all, friends form a big part of our life for most of us

G. The strength of your relationship is not measured by how frequently you meet

I’m worried that you’ve been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sort of photos in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One serious problem is leaking privacy, that may cause a lot of trouble. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.

Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It’s much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
