Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里). American researchers have found that some people’s squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals several miles of slow running each day. The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health’s laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim. In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping (moving the front part of your foot up and down), finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories. The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people. 51. Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”? A. scratching and twitching B. squirming and wigging C. slow running D. moving one’s body nervously 52. We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ____. A. thin people burn up less calories than fat people B. fat people burn up more calories than thin people C. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner D. those who fidget more than others will be thinner 53. Scientists found in the experiment that ____. A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget B. some people’s fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some people’s fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories C. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin men D. thin men fidget more than fat men 54. Scientists think a fidget habit to be ____. A. a way to lose fat B. a nervous habit annoying the people around C. a better exercise than slow runningD. a habit of thin people (B) Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目的) and leave no mark. Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks. Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. (责任编辑：admin) |
