18. 难度：中等

This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. You don’t have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.

◆Wake-up  When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward(前俯) until you feel sore(酸痛的) in your back. It will use up 10 calories.

◆Start with soup  Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.

◆An apple or more a day  Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

◆Talk it up  Every time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important and standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.

Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

Many teenagers(青少年) feel that important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do.

五、其他题

21. 难度：中等

You are what you eat so maybe it's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week singled out(挑选) several bad eating habits.

·Watching television while having meals or snacks(零食).

Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion(消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.

·Replacing meals with snacks.

Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates(碳水化合物), proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt(酸奶).

·Having drinks rather than water.

Fizzy(有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda(苏打水) and coffee actually take water away from your body.

·Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.

Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition(营养失调) and a weaker body.

·Eating throat tablets(润喉片) as if they were sweets.

If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria(细菌) in your mouth and cause real throat problems.
