Five reasons your scale might be wrong
1. You weigh yourself on different days each week.
In a Cornell University study published last year,researchers analyzed the food and weight diaries that 80 people kept for up to a year. They found that people's weight changed considerably throughout the week. 36 Keep weigh-in days consistent for a more accurate assessment.
2. 37
File this one under “Yes,scientists have actually studied this/' When University of North Dakota researchers weighed people with and without clothes at various times of the year,they found that men can reduce 2. 5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds,on average.
3. You don't take muscle gain into consideration. You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat. 38 If you start a strength-training routine,the number on the scale (秤) might not change,but you could still lose inches and drop a clothing size or two.
4. You just drank a lot of water.
It's called water weight for a reason: Drinking one pound of water can translate to about one pound of weight. So if you stand on the scale soon after drinkiag an entire water bottle's worth,you might not like what you see. 39
5. You weigh yourself after hard exercise.
Compared with water weight,if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class,you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat. 40
A. You miscalculate your clothing.
B. But don't worry,it's just a temporary gain.
C. Salty foods cause your body to save extra water.
D. In fact,it takes up only about a third as much space.
E. Jump on the scale if you need to improve confidence.
F. You should be aware of how much water you have drunk.
G. Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.
話題:健康
本文是說明文。文章介紹了秤上顯示的體重與實際體重不符的五個原因.
36. G。G項“很多人周一最重、周五最 輕”與本空上一句“人們的體重在一 周內(nèi)變化很大”相符。
37. A.根據(jù)下文的 men can reduce 2. 5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds …可 知，稱體重時穿不穿衣服會影響結(jié) 果，因此造成秤上顯示的體重與實際 體重不符的一個原因就是“你對衣服 (的重量) 計算有誤'
38. D.根據(jù)本空上一句內(nèi)容可知，肌肉 的密度比脂肪的大，因此同等重量的 肌肉“體積只有脂肪的三分之一”。D項中的it指代muscle。
39. B.根據(jù)下一段中的Compared with water weight,if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class,you may lose weight temporarily 可 A. 因為水增 加的重量只是“暫時的”。
40. E。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，剛鍛煉完，由 于出汗較多，體重會暫時減輕，因此 “如果你需要增加自信”，這個時候稱 體重?zé)o疑是最佳時機。

I was bom in England with perfect hearing. In 1990,when I was five,my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didn't have health insurance at the time and when I got a third infection,my parents couldn't pay for the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 20 percent hearing in my left.
There was always music on in my house when I was little,because my dad was a DJ,and he played all kinds of music. When I grew up,I was hooked on deejaying(播放音樂) . I wanted to leam more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee,a well-known New York City DJ:“I know you like a challenge. How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day: “Challenge accepted." He tutored me twice a week for two years,helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a dai. Nbw when I'm performing,muscle memory takes over.
When I started,I wouldn't tell the club managers I was deaf. I would just show up,introduce myself,and start playing music. At the end of the night,they were always so surprised that I couldn't hear. Sometimes I would bring doctors’ notes because they wouldn't believe me. It was what I wanted: they were giving me the chance to play because I was good,not out of sympathy.
For a show,I set up one speaker facing my left side,my good ear. The speakers that play the bass(低音) are on the floor behind me so I can hear some of the lower frequencies and feel the beat in my feet. I also use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. For example,red is the bass,and green is the melody(主旋律) .I'm visually hearing the music. What I love about deejaying is the creativity,what you can do with a machine,two turntables,and a mixer.
I go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. I'm big on talking to the parents. Many parents nearly give up their deaf Jcids,but I always tell them ,“My advice to you is to let [your kids] chase their dreams,I'm a deaf DJ,so why not?”

Cancers Cells in our bodies are always dividing,as new cells replace old ones. 36 Cancer cells divide rapidly,and form growths called tumours(腫瘤）. They can spread to take over a whole organ and stop it working properly. If cells break away from the tumour,they can travel to other parts of the body and start new tumours.
We do not know why some people get cancer while others don't. But faulty genes are certainly the cause of some cancers. Others are caused by chemicals in the environment.
Cancer is not a single disease. 37 The most common types affect the digestive system and lungs. In women,cancers of the breasts and cervix (子宮頸) are also common.
Smoking is the cause of almost all cases of lung cancer. Tobacco smoke contains chemicals which can damage the lungs. The more cigarettes a person smokes,the greater their risk of suffering from lung cancer. 38
Cancers of the skin are also quite common. Many types of radiation,especially ultraviolet rays (紫外線) from the Sun,can damage skin cells and cause cancer.
Most cancers can be treated successfully if they are caught early enough. Some treatments involve surgery to remove the tumour. This is often followed by a course of strong drugs. 39 They kill healthy cells as well as cancer cells.
In the most up-to-date treatments,drugs are delivered directly to the cancer cells using “magic bullets”. These are special antibodies which only attach themselves to cancer cells.
Similarly, radiotherapy(放射療法) is a type of cancer treatment which uses radiation to kill cancer cells. A narrow bean(光線) of radiation is focused directly at a tumour. 40
A. Most skin cancers are completely curable.
B. And the healthy cells nearby are not damaged.
C. Many of these drugs have unpleasant side-effects.
D. An X-ray of the lungs shows the position of a tumour.
E. Different cancers can affect almost any part of the body.
F. But sometimes the process goes wrong,and a cancer cell is formed.
G. Fortunately,the risk of getting cancer is reduced when someone stops smoking.

To wear rohes and wigs(長袍和假發(fā)) ，or to not wear robes and wigs: that is the question. In 1776,when the United States declared its independence from England,the Founding Fathers set out to create a government and wrote the most important political documents. It is not surprising that they used English common law as the basis of our society’s laws. Apparently,they also debated court dress. Thomas Jefferson,and a few of his colleagues,wanted judges to wear suits in order to rid the influence of the English era. John Adams,on the other hand,wanted to keep the tradition alive. The Founding Fathers did what they did best,and compromised. They threw away the uncomfortable wigs and kept the robes.
At the time,Supreme Court Justices usually wore red robes. But Chief Justice John Marshall changed the dress rules by putting on a black robe.
He started a new fashion and judges in the United States have been wearing black ever since.
The tradition of robes came from the English,but why were the English wearing robes in the first place? The wearing of robes by justices can date back to the 15th century. English judges wore red,green,reddish blue,and black robes depending on the fashions of the time. In 1635,it was decided that reddish blue robes should be worn in the summer and black for the winter. It was also decided that red robes should be worn on ceremonial occasions.
The origins of wearing the black robe in England are debated among historians. Most historians say that the black robe tradition started with the mourning of the death of Queen Mary II in 1694.
However,in the United States,the tradition of black robes Was not always followed. Former Idaho Supreme Court Justice,Byron Johnson,chose to wear a royal blue robe stating in a letter to his friend that he sat in the “black and blue” court.
Wearing black robes will most likely continue in the United States for a long time to come. However,everyone,especially judges,should take a moment to thank Thomas Jefferson for convincing John Adams to give up those ridiculous wigs.
6. The Founding Fathers disagreed about whether.
A. judges should debate like English judges
B. judges should dress in the English way
C. they should obey English common law
D. they should set up a new government
7. What was Jefferson's attitude towards the English tradition?
A. He doubted it. B. He tolerated it.
C. He was against it. D. He was uncertain of it.
8. Black robes became a tradition of American courts because of .
A. John Adams’ argument
B. John Marshall's example
C. the dress rules in English courts
D. the Founding Fathers’ compromises
9. The black robe in English courts may go back to.
A. the 15th century B. the 18th century C. the year of 1635 D. the year of 1694
10. How does the author sound when telling the stories in the text?
A. Humorous. B. Anxious.
C. Cautious. D. Serious.

How did Indiana get its nickname as “The Hoosier State”? 36 There are many different theories about how the word Hoosier came to be and how it came to have such a connection with the state of Indiana.
One of the earliest known uses of the term is found in an 1827 letter that states, “There is a trick for you — done up by a Hoosier." 37 Around this time,John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem called The Hoosier's which was widely read.
He wrote the word as “hoosher” and did not explain its meaning,which leads historians to believe that Finley felt his readers would already know and understand the word. Finley wrote, “With men of every hue and fashion,Flock to this rising ‘Hoosher’nation."
38 In 1848,Bartlett* s Dictionary of Americanisms defined “Hoosier” as “A nickname given at the west,to natives of Indiana." In John Finley's poem,the word “Hoosher” seems to refer less to the pioneers of Indiana and more to the qualities he thought they possessed,like self-reliance and bravery.
39 Some people think it was created to laugh at Indian訌 as a rough and backward (落后的) place.
Others think that early settlers used the term with pride to describe themselves as a courageous group. One historian,. Jacob Piatt Dunn,even suggested that the word “Hoosier” originally referred to boatmen who lived on the Indiana shore. We may never know for sure. 40
A. So,what does the word mean?
B. The word “Hoosier” was widely used by the 1830s.
C. No one seems to know how the word “Hoosier” came to be.
D. And how did people from Indiana come to be called “Hoosiers”？
E. Other early uses provide some ideas about the meaning of the word.
F. However,research and debate are likely to continue about this mysterious word.
G. Some theories and stories about the origin of the word “Hoosier” are known to be false.
