A) According to a study by Michelle T. Barrack from the University of California, Davis, and her colleagues,

6、Teenage girls who stringently restrict their energy intake while involved in endurance sports may end up with low bone density. Preliminary evidence from a study involving 93 female high school cross-country runners shows an association between low bone mass values and more intensive dietary restrai

7、nt, according to a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. B) For the 13-to-18 year-old athletes assessed, investigators defined high levels of dietary restriction as girls who reported not eating for 8 hours or more, consciously restricting amounts or types of food, and following stri

8、ct calorie or serving size limits for 16 days or longer during the month. C) Measurements of the girls bone mineral density in the lower spine and thighbone (股骨) were recorded, and the results were not surprising they found that the girls with increased dietary restraint had the lowest bone mass val

9、ues. Conversely, the study found that weight or shape concerns in the absence of dietary restraint practices were not associated with low bone mass. D) According to Barrack, These findings suggest that young runners and their support system, including parents, coaches, and athletic trainers, should

10、make sure that girls expending hundreds of calories on a daily basis are not stringently restricting their energy intake. The same could be said about young women in mixed martial arts (MMA). E) Many females are taking up martial arts and in particular, MMA. While MMA is one of the fastest growing s

11、ports in the world today, female fighters are still struggling with finding fights. They want to fight but the problem is finding worthy opponents and available venues. Oftentimes, in order to compete, theyre forced to quickly reduce or increase their weight to accommodate another fighter and fit in

12、to their weight class. This may be an easy thing to do when youre 18, 21, or 25 and in fact you may not even feel the damage done to your body during this time. But you will feel the results as you get older. Your bones will become brittle and break easily. As a fighter in MMA, this should be the la

13、st thing you want to have happen. F) This leads to the question: are there other options available? YES! As an athlete, and as a fighter, you actually have a lot of options. The first, of course, is to just say no! If an event promoter calls you to fight at below or above your normal weight, say NO.

14、 Even if your manager or agent asks you to change your weight, dont do it. And if they do, go find another manager. I dont know about you, but Id rather have someone who had my best interests at heart, not theirs. Its one of the reasons why youre paying them. So dont get caught up into that trap. If

15、 enough of us keep saying NO, theyll stop asking, and instead will be forced to look for and find two fighters who are starting from the same weight class. G) Dont eat fast foods. Have you seen Super Size Me or Fast Food Nation? Yeah. Stuff isnt good for you. I mean, think about it. You train all da

16、y long, now your bodys starving for fuel, and you give it junk. Not just normal junk, but the kind thatll clog up your arteries (動脈), make you sluggish, and kill you. No kidding. According to S, fast food places (I refuse to call them restaurants) dont use normal cooking oil which of course is full

17、of fat. Rather, they use a SPECIALLY-CREATED cooking oil that is generally special hydrogenated (使氫化合物的) cooking oil. Check it out that they even make sure their special cooking oil undergoes a process designed to increase its shelf life. This process makes it downright dangerous for human consumpti

18、on as it produces high levels of trans-fats. These fat compounds are barely recognizable as food by the human body and end up getting stored as fat cells or heading right to an artery to start clogging it up. (SOURCE: And we wonder why we see so many fighters and athletes who are still fat. We wonde

19、r ourselves why were so sluggish. We work out, train hard and then hit the drive-thru window on the way home. Question answered.H) Do you really want to clog up your arteries? Lose your bone density? Starve yourself? All for the sake of a 15 minute fight? If so, you need to rethink some things. I) H

20、ow about another option? Eat well and use some good old fashioned common sense by eating whole foods. What are the whole foods you ask? I can hear a lot of you right now. Im no hippie! I dont want to eat all that organic crap! Its too expensive and I hate that health food stuff! I dont have a health

21、 food store in my area! Thats not what I said. I said whole foods. Whole foods are foods that have undergone very little processing and that have been grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. You can find this stuff at your local grocery store! No kidding! Its all fo

22、und in the fresh food section and in the outskirts of the store. So you need to eat things like fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, beans (not the kind in a jar), rice, etc. Think of it this way, whole foods are usually those types of foods that will spoil after a period of ti

23、me, if you dont refrigerate or eat it. If you stick to these foods, your body will love and reward you! Youll lose weight if you need to, gain weight (unless youre one of those with a really fast metabolism (新陳代謝) and have a hard time gaining ) if you need to, and/or maintain your weight once you ge

24、t to your optimum level. Youll feel good, train well, sleep well and feel fit and full! J) Another option? Follow a quality nutritional program. (Notice I didnt say diet program. Your diet is actually what you eat every day. Its not really what you do to lose weight, although thats what weve turned

25、it into. So I dont use the word diet anymore. Nutritional program sounds so much better, dont you think?) Eat healthy. Stick to good, whole foods. Eat what I call good protein like nuts and beans with rice. And if you think Im kidding, ask my friends whove spent any amount of time with me. I drink j

26、uice, and I eat a lot of nuts, dates, raisins, and fruit. My body loves that stuff more now than anything! Additionally, Ive found that the nutritional plan described by Dr. Robert Haas in his book Eat to Win the Sports: Nutrition Bible for a New Generation to be a good one to follow, but thats just

27、 my personal opinion. (Im not endorsing it, just telling you whats worked for me.) K) No matter what, stop starving yourself to lose weight, or piling up the protein and to gain a bunch of weight before a fight. Start eating healthy NOW! Let your body figure out the weight it SHOULD be and stay ther

28、e. And the next time a promoter asks you to change your weight to accommodate another fighter for an event JUST SAY NO! _ 1. Female MMA fighters quickly increase or decrease their weight so as to find their proper opponents or fit into their weight class._ 2. According to a report in the American Jo

29、urnal of Clinical Nutrition, more intensive dietary restraint is associated with low bone mass values in female high-school runners._ 3. A nutritional program is to stick to good, whole foods, such as nuts and beans with rice._ 4. Its not recommended to eat fast foods, because they are harmful to ou

30、r health._ 5. Whether you are going to gain or lose weight, you should start eating healthy and make it clear about your ideal weight. _ 6. Female MMA fighters shouldnt stringently restrict their energy intake._ 7. So many fighters and athletes are still fat because of high intake of fast foods._ 8.

31、 Whole foods will benefit human body a lot in the long run._ 9. Stringent restrictions of energy intake might be the cause of lower bone mass values in the athletes being assessed._ 10. MMA athletes are supposed to say “NO” when their manager or agent asks them to change their weight or fight at bel

32、ow or above their normal weight.Part 3: Reading ComprehensionThere are two passages followed by some multiple choice questions.

34、elderly couple.

They die .They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear, prid

43、e and shame. That is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here. Im going to stay home.”The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life birth, youth, old age and death. But these stages of life have differ

44、ent values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different.

They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor

48、or respect or attention. Also, businesses do not want old people to work for them. So, old people usually live alone and they do not have many things to do.
