21、It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.
Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.
【1】The passage is mainly for those ________.
A. who produce wine B. who have a drinking habit
C. who go on a diet D. who are eager to lose weight
【2】How does the writer clarify his view at the very beginning?
A. By quotation. B. By comparison.
C. By question. D. By statement.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.
B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.
C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.
D .The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.
【4】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. How to do some easy experiments.
B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.
C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.
D. How to make wine in a healthy way.
22、Whoever wrote the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. 【1】 . Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
【2】
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response— no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse, so trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus -driver study can be explained by researchers. who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 【3】 . We don’t like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. 【4】. A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
Enjoy a mix of emotions
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well -being. 【5】. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A.Don’t force cheer
B.Relax your mind
C.We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D.We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
E.In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear
F.When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once
G.The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid
23、 A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t be.
One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt in different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel sympathy for others and for ourselves. And sympathy is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you out of self-pity and into helpful action.
【1】The writer may agree with the fact that ________.
A.life is meant to be fair B.people feel sorry only for ourselves
C.life isn’t fair D.someday life will be fair
【2】What makes everything perfect?
A.Our own challenge. B.Unique strengths.
C.Unfair treatment. D.Our duty.
【3】Facing the fact, people are advised to ________.
A.feel pity for others and for themselves
B.make brave decisions
C.do everything in their power to improve their lives
D.give up their unique strengths
【4】In the last paragraph, the underlined word “it” refers to ________.
A.justices of the world B.this very basic fact
C.loving-kindness D.self-defeating emotion
