in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence
on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside,
but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its
courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions
of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.
You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about
resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it
will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel
less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying
products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements
for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the
countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best
of all, it"s free.

actually help you feel good, too? Getting the right amount of exercise can speed up your energy levels
and even help you to feel better emotionally.
However, like all good things, it"s possible to overdo on exercise. Although exercising is a great way
to maintain a healthy weight, exercising too much to lose weight isn"t healthy. The body needs enough
calories to function properly. Remember that you"re still growing and will continue to do so throughout
your teen years. You"ll need the energy to fuel the growth.
Exercising too much in an effort to burn calories and lose weight can be a sign of an eating disorder.
If you have any doubts about how much you should be exercising, talk with a school nurse or family
doctor. And if you ever get the feeling that your exercise is in charge of you rather than the other way
around, talk with your doctor, a parent, or another adult you trust.
Considering the benefits to the heart, muscles, and mind, it"s easy to see why exercise is wise. If you
exercise now, keep it up as you become an adult (this is often the biggest exercise challenge for people
as they get busy with college and careers). One of the great things about exercise is that it"s never too
late to start. And don"t forget that even small things can count as exercise when you"re starting out-like
taking a short bike ride or sweeping fallen leaves. Even walking your dog counts as part of your 60 minutes
a day of exercise (and your vet will tell you that animals need workouts just like humans do, so if your
family dog is fat, he"ll benefit from your dedication, too).
B. Because it gets them to have an unhealthy weight.
C. Because it will make them become too thin.
D. Because it burns the energy they need to grow up.
B. you manage how much exercise you need
C. you are greatly addicted to exercising
D. you do some exercise free of charge
B. To continue to exercise the whole life.
C. To own suitable equipment for exercising.
D. To find a person to exercise together.
B. it is helpful to lose weight by exercise
C. it is a good thing to exercise every day
D. it is good for your pet to exercise every day

| Residents of Golestan Province in northern Iran have one of the highest rates of esophageal cancer (食道 癌) in the world. They don"t drink alcohol or smoke-the two primary risk factors for the disease in the west- but they do consume tea, nearly 1.2 liters per day, on average. So local researchers set out looking for a connection. They employed 300 esophageal cancer patients who were diagnosed in the eastern part of Golestan and matched them up with 571 healthy controls who shared their age, gender and place of residence. All but one of them drank tea, and they gave interviewers information about their tea consumption and brewing habits. Teaming up with investigators from the U.S., England, France and Sweden, the researchers calculated that people who said they drank "hot" tea (149 to 156 degrees Fahrenheit) were more than twice as likely to develop esophageal cancer as people who said they drank the beverage "warm" or "lukewarm" (less than 140 degrees). Those who said they took their tea"very hot" (at least 158 degrees) were more than eight times as likely to get esophageal cancer, according to the study, published online Thursday in the British Medical Journal. The scientists have now connected it with esophageal cancer. The problem doesn"t appear to be the tea itself, but the temperature at which it is consumed, their study found. The researchers also asked people how long they waited to drink their tea after pouring it. Those who said they waited two to three minutes were nearly 2.5 times more likely to develop the cancer compared with people who said they waited at least four minutes. Impatient tea drinkers who waited less than two minutes were 5.4 times as likely to be diagnosed with esophageal cancer, the study found. The study didn"t assess the mechanism linking hot tea to esophageal cancer, but the researchers said the temperature of the liquid was almost certainly to blame rather than the compounds in the tea itself. | |||

| The kitten was rescued, but didn"t make it out of surgery in one piece. The veterinarian at Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital in Kingsland, now acting for the kitten, says she sees animal abuse more often than you might imagine. This kitten is playful and affectionate, but he has already seen how cruel a place the world can be. Dr. Julie Clark Blount is the veterinarian treating the kitten now, "I think they were actually kicking him or throwing him or something of that nature," said Blount, "They had damaged the whole bundle of nerves that are up in the armpit and control the functioning of the entire leg, and it"s not something that would get better over time." Blount says they were forced to amputate his front right leg, "It doesn"t seem to bother him at all and he runs and he plays and he loves attention and he"s pretty spoiled already, and he"s eating like a little pig, and doing fabulously for us," said Blount. Doing well, but Blount says other pets out there never survive abuse. "He"s one of the lucky one," she said. Blount says unless abusers like him are caught and prosecuted, they could go on to bigger and worse things. "We with there were more strict laws to protect animals because if they"re doing this to pets, then what would then end up doing to people, or kids, or anything else later on down the road?" wonders Blount. | |||

| Having a large waistline can almost double your risk of dying prematurely (过早地) even if your body mass index is within the "normal" range, according to a new study, over 350,000 people across Europe published Wednesday in the US. magazine, New England Journal of Medicine. The study provides strong evidence that storing excess (过量的) fat around the waist poses a significant health risk, even in people not considered to be overweight obese (极肥胖的). It suggests that doctors should measure a patient"s waistline and their hips as well as their body mass index as part of standard health cheeks, according to the researchers from Imperial College London, the German Institute of Human Nutrition, and other research institutions across Europe. Comparing subjects with the same body mass index, the risk of premature death increased in a linear fashion as the waist circumference increased. The risk of premature death was around double for subjects with a larger waist (more than 120 cm for men and more then 100 cm for women) compared to subjects with a smaller waist (less than 80cm for men and less than 65cm for women). Body mass index is commonly used to assess (评估) if a person is of "normal" weight. Each 5cm increase in waist circumference increased the mortality risk by 17 percent in men and 13 percent in women, according to the study. An increased risk of mortality (死亡率) may be particularly related to storing fat around the waistline because fatty tissue in this areas secrete (分泌) cytokines (细胞因子), hormones (荷尔蒙) and metabolically (新陈代谢) active compounds (混合物) that can contribute to the development of chronic (长期的) diseases, particularly cardiovascular (心脏血管的) diseases and cancers, suggest the authors. Tobias Pischon, the lead author of the paper, said "The most important result of our study is the finding that not just being overweight, but also the distribution of body fat affects the risk of premature death of each individual." | |||
| 1. According to a new study of over 350,000 people across Europe, a person has more risk of dying prematurely, _____. | |||
| A. if his body mass index isn"t within normal range B. if he has a large waistline C. if his body mass index is within normal range D. if he overweight | |||
| 2. Which of the following isn"t mentioned as part of standard health checks? | |||
| A. weight B. hip C. body mass index D. waistline | |||
| 3. Which of the following is NOT wrong? | |||
| A. Each 5 cm increase in waist circumference increases the same mortality risk in men and women. B. Body mass index is commonly used to assess (评估) if a person is large waistline. C. The smaller waistline, the more mortality risk. D. Large waistline almost doubles risk of dying prematurely. |
