There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:

I’ll never lose weight---I come from a fat family

Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowly

Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陳代謝). In fact, although fat people consume 消耗more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.

Exercise is boring

Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied多樣的 program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a difference route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.

No pain, no gain

Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.

In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.

The bottom line is that life is not fair.

That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life’s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.

For example, my first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.

I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married. I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life. So I didn’t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage. But that wouldn’t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.

What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.

When we are faced with life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.

1.We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ______.

A. life doesn’t often turn out the way we expect

B. the author thinks life should reward us for our efforts

C. unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enough

D. people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes

2.The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage to ______.

A. complain about the unfairness of her life and marriage

B. tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily married

C. express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from life

D. show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals

3.When we encounter unfairness in life, the author suggests we ______.

a. do nothing but accept them

b. be confident with ourselves

c. keep doing what we should do

d. find out what has gone wrong

A. ab B. ad

C. bc D. cd

4.The author wrote the article mainly to ______.

A. share her experiences of unfairness in life

B. tell us how to deal with life’s seeming unfairness

C. tell us that life has beautiful blessings in store for us

D. explain why life seems neither fair nor straightforward

Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is important if you want to get in good shape. To have a perfect body, someone go to extremes to lose weight. 1.

In the weight loss industry, there is never a lack of ideas about how to lose weight. Consider the “Sleeping Beauty diet,” where you sleep your way to weight loss. You cannot eat if you are sleeping, or so the theory goes.

2. The tapeworm (絳蟲) is said to help people lose weight by eating the food that is stored in their stomach. But first you have to be willing to eat the little worm. This may be more trouble than many people want.

Strange, new diets and exercise programs arrive on the market every day. 3. The weight loss industry takes in billions of dollars each year, and it is growing.

Experts say there is no single diet plan that works best for everyone. Many experts agree on one thing: you must use or burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight. When you eat more calories than your body needs, it stores that extra energy as fat.

4. A pound of fat is equal to about 453 grams or 3,500 calories. To lose that fat in a week, you have to burn off at least that amount in calories or eat that much less.

5. Eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so that you burn off more.

A. Then there is the tapeworm diet.

B. Calories are a measure of energy in food.

C. But no plan has come out as a clear winner.

D. The best thing to do is to combine both ideas.

E. These lead to a big industry — weight loss industry.

F. But experts say exercise alone is not enough if your goal is to lose weight.

G. Each one promises to help people lose weight and get a beautiful body.
