Other people can keep slim( 苗條) without any effort.  But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it. The question is : what can th

21、ey do about it? Some  believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out (減去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosi

22、ng. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren'

23、t cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us

24、 these methods are too extreme (極端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like.  It' s straight forward and often quite effective.Still others like to be more scientific.

25、 They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.41. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that_A.  it makes you sweat    &

32、rn in the market town of Stratford - upon - Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway.

62、 about the worldthose who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. a third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry .These scientists have already discovered a

63、 lot about our worldfor example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. they say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. the blood carries oxygen and nutrition. whe
