【題目】For many workers trying to lose weight, the weekend is a chance to do some exercise and eat something healthier than a supermarket sandwich at their desk. But some slimmers take a slightly different approach — consuming more than half their weekly calorie intake from Friday night to Sunday.

Away from the daily routine at work that helps them keep control of what they eat, they are snacking and drinking their way to a shocking 10,000 calories, a survey has found. Almost three-quarters of people trying to lose weight admit to over-eating at the weekend. A meal with friends or family, complete with alcohol, as well as a late-night snack before bed, can lead to adults consuming up to 3,500 calories in one day, a survey found. Men typically need 2,500 calories a day and women 2,000 calories. Consuming this amount would see men and women get through half their weekly calorie intake over the course of a ‘bad’ weekend.

Women were found to eat less on a Sunday because of guilt over their consumption over the previous two days. Men had fewer doubts about a third day of excess.

The biggest weekend diet danger comes from snacking between meals, the survey found. Some say they will often spend Saturday night in front of the TV with their families — combining watching their favorite shows with crisps and biscuits. And seven in ten people admitted to having fattening takeaways at weekends, with pizza the most popular. Alcohol is another big factor in weekend bingeing．Around 70 percent still like to have a roast on a Sunday or a big meal with family or friends and a third of those will have second helpings.

A spokesman from Forza Supplements, the diet company that conducted the survey, said, “We all have bad weekends where we have a lot of fun, but dieting goes out of the window.”

The 5:2 diet is becoming increasingly popular — where we limit our calories for five days and allow ourselves a few treats on the other two days.

“For many people, the two days off are Saturday and Sunday but they go way too far”

【1】Which kind of weekend diet does the greatest harm?

A. Having a big meal with family and friends.

B. Drinking a lot.

C. Having fattening takeaways

D. Snacking between the meals.

【2】According to the passage, those who try to lose weight _______.

A. intake more calories on weekdays than on weekends

B. get their efforts to lose weight ruined by over-eating on weekends

C. always have bad weekends due to their intention to lose weight

D. keep wide aware of their desire to lose weight by keeping a strict diet

【3】What is the main idea of the text?

A. Weekends are vital for diets.

B. What the 5:2 diet is.

C. The proper way to lose weight.

D. People’s weekly calorie intake is changing.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到The biggest weekend diet danger comes from snacking between meals最大的飲食威脅就是餐后零食，故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】推斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到Almost three-quarters of people trying to lose weight admit to over-eating at the weekend幾乎四分之三的試圖減肥的人們不得不承認(rèn)會(huì)在周末時(shí)吃得更多，故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】主旨大意。本文主要講述的是根據(jù)研究表明對(duì)于許多努力減肥的人來(lái)說(shuō)，周末應(yīng)該是鍛煉和多吃健康食品的時(shí)候而現(xiàn)在卻成增重的時(shí)間，告訴人們除了平時(shí)要注意飲食，在周末時(shí)同樣要注意保持，故選A項(xiàng)。

Homework is a major part of going to school: It's your teachers' way of evaluating (評(píng)價(jià)) how much you understand of what's going on in class. 【1】 Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less work.

Be sure you understand the homework.

Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. 【2】 It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

Use any extra time in school.

Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It's tempting (誘惑)to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time. 【3】

Take a break.

【4】 So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

【5】

If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most highschool students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and it seems like you've got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch, you'll need to devote more time to homework. It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an afterschool job.

A．Pace yourself.

B．Settle down to do homework.

C．And it helps digest important concepts.

D．Most people's attention spans aren't very long.

E．Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected.

F．Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.

G．But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

【題目】From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.

“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.

A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.

But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.

“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.

A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.

“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

【1】According to the report, _____.

A. people won't necessarily lose jobs

B. big companies will face fewer challenges

C. small companies will win against big companies

D. most people will become interested in technology

【2】We can infer from the text that in the future _____.

A. people will face many difficulties

B. people will take up more creative jobs

C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives

D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces

【3】What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?

A. Mixed. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.

【4】Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.

A. there will be enough jobs for people

B. things will change a lot in a few years

C. many people will become unemployed

D. technology will totally change future jobs
