Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too. Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories. If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired. 1.If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.

4.If you have exercised too much, _______.

阅读下面短文，从方框中选出每部分恰当的标题。 Green Christmas
Are you dreaming about a white or green Christmas？ Traditionally, most people hope for a white Christmas in the UK. However, more and more individuals are working towards making it a green one. With environmental issues a high priority on the social and political agenda, Brits are keen to enjoy the festivities and, at the same time, be kind to the planet. 1 Statistics show that more waste is produced at Christmas by the food and drink we consume and the presents we exchange. With this in mind, the government and the public are making a conscious effort to make 2006 an eco-friendly Christmas. 2 For example, the Scottish Executive has dedicated a section of its website to advising the public on the different ways they can have a green Christmas. Suggestions include re-using old Christmas cards and wrapping paper, using energy-saving Christmas lights, and saving product waste by buying “experience” gifts, like theatre tickets or a museum pass. 3 Another suggestion on the site was made by Duncan McLaren, from Friends of the Earth Scotland. He said: “If you really must have a Christmas tree, then make it a live one.” This idea is also recommended by local councils across England. Suffolk Coastal District Council, for example, has encouraged local residents to buy a real Christmas tree which can be planted out or composted after the festive season. 4 Councillor Andrew Nunn, the Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “Trees with roots can be replanted in the garden either for re-use next year or just left to grow to enhance the garden scene. People are often put off buying a real tree because of falling needles, but this is now a thing of the past with new varieties of trees being grown that hardly shed any. Needles that do fall can be swept up and put on the compost heap or in the brown garden waste bin for recycling.”
