Proper diet and regular exercise seem to be the only methods for losing weight.However,the importance of water should be added in the process.While medical science has proven the positive effects of water,most people still do not drink enough each day.

The reason why water is so important for weight loss has something to do with metabolism（新陳代謝）of fat. The liver（肝臟）is in charge of this process when it comes to turning stored fat in-to energy.However,the liver is also responsible for helping the kidneys（腎臟）that need enough water in order to function properly.The liver has to perform all the functions of the kidneys on its own when they are short of water.This means the liver doesn't have enough energy to metabolize fat.So,drinking water allows the kidneys to focus on their job and the liver to focus on its job.

Also,studies have shown that water can make us feel full when drunk before meals.Without even making an effort,most people who drink a glass of water before a meal will eat 33% less.This is due in part to the fact that they simply get fuller quicker because the water is taking up space.The other reason is that the food will expand as soon as it hits the water-filled stomach.

Water is important for every aspect of the health of the human body.By drinking more water and improving the health of the body,weight loss goals can be achieved with greater ease.

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a way to lose weight?

A. Regular exercise. B. Drinking water. C. Balanced diet. D. Medical care.

2.The liver has to take over the job of the kidneys when .

A. the kidneys are lacking in water B. there is something wrong with the kidneys

C. the liver doesn't supply energy for the kidneys D. there is no fat for the liver to metabolize

3.Why can we lose weight by drinking water before meals?

A. Because we don't feel thirsty any longer. B. Because we eat much less than normal.

C. Because the water takes up too much space. D. Because the food becomes larger and larger.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Liver Is Important to the Kidneys. B. How the Digestive System Works.

C. Water for a Healthy Life and Losing Weight. D. Several Tips for Losing Weight.

People usually talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow, while the cool colors are green, blue and purple.

Why are red, orange and yellow considered to be warm colors? That’s because they have the psychological effect (心理效應(yīng)) of making us feel warm because of the association (聯(lián)系) with fire, heat and sunshine. These colors are very eye-catching.

Red can make us excited. It is the color of passion (激情) and power. Orange gives off a friendly and attracting feeling. It is lively and happy. Yellow has an enthusiastic feeling. It is the color of the sun, and it can attract attention.

The cool colors — green, blue and purple, have the psychological effect of making us feel cool because of the association with deep bodies of water, the open sky, or maybe mountains in the distance. These colors can be good choices for background.

Green sets a feeling of hope. It is the color of nature and represents new life and growth. Blue makes us feel peaceful and calm. It can also be cold like ice, or calm like a lake. Purple has a mysterious feeling. Wearing purple looks nice and elegant.

Ways to Have an Amazing Day

I’m a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: 1 . If we plant the seeds of success every day, we will reap a successful harvest. If we delay the planting, we cannot expect to harvest. Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:

Keep Learning

A child has the opportunity to learn about 100 new things a day and they love the feeling of learning something new. That’s why a young child will ask their parents, ＂Why?＂ about a thousand times a week. They are learning and growing. It wouldn’t hurt us to look around throughout the day and ask, ＂Why did that happen? How does that work? What can I do about that?＂ 2

Be Kind

It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them. One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. 3 The best way to know more people is to take a moment to learn a little about them.

4

I have noticed for some time that a lot of the happiest and most satisfied people I know have one or more big ＂life goals＂ they are working towards. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product, or learn a new hobby or profession. It doesn’t really matter what it is as long as it is something big, something that inspires you, and something that will take a lot of time and hard work.

5 In fact, most people experience something like a ＂pop midterm＂. Those are the moments in life where you wake up and realize that you have wasted the last 5—10 years on cruise control. Some people lose a job and realize they haven’t taken the time to develop any skills that would help them find another one.

A. Find A Suitable Purpose

B. Be kind to everyone you meet.

C. Look for some ways to serve.

D. We harvest what we sow.

E. Is your life filled with meaningless activities?

F. A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.

G. Life doesn’t always throw us too many pop quizzes.

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. ____1____

For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple. Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words and can involve complex themes. Children’s books are a great place to start. ____2____ Dr Seuss writes his books in thyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.

____3____ The book isn’t too long and if you’ve seen the film it may be easier to follow. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm’s I am David is a good read.

If you’re not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes? ____4____ Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves’s Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.

My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English. ____5____

A. Dr Seuss’s books are guaranteed to make you laugh.

B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.

C. Reading can bring you a lot of fun as well as knowledge.

D. How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.

E. For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

F. This way, you’re more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.

G. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in thyme.
