By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became com

In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.

举一反三
●Drink water
No, you don’t have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Don’t substitute for juice. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize(新陈代谢)fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes before your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking ice cold water?
●Eat 5 times a day
Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please don’t skip this meal as you’ll end up swallowing everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don’t need to gobble up 5 large meals. Eat sensibly so your body doesn’t crave for food.
●Use weights
Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can’t expect to sit on the sofa all day, sip water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle and your metabolism rate will increase. You’ll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop.
●Smaller bowls
It’s better to substitute the huge bowls you usually use for small ones – when food starts to fall off, you’ll know it’s enough. Try to get these new bowls in dark colors. Dark blue will be your best choice since it is the number one color that fights off the appetite. Avoid red/orange/yellow colors in your dining area – they are the ones making your appetite go sky high.
●Read between lines
Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream “Buy me! Buy me!” They could be “fat free” but they could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyze the nutrition label on the cover. Find out what’s good for you and what isn’t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched.
●Don’t punish yourself
Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there’s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.If you are on a diet, you should always keep to your diet. |
B.Use smaller bowls can help you eat less food. |
C.Skipping breakfast is not a wise way to lose weight. |
D.Reading the nutrition label on drink and food products is helpful. |
A.black and yellow | B.gray and white |
C.red and orange | D.blue and purple |
A.beam | B.shot | C.barbell | D.badminton |
A.drinking juice instead of water |
B.working with weights to build muscle |
C.buying products that are not calorie-enriched |
D.eating proper amount of food |
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely. Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order. Like rain to crops, not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends. Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don’t have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it’s work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise. Do exercise to keep away from fatness. Because of the quick pace of modern life, you don’t have time to do exercise every day, but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.
小题1:The author wrote the passage to _______.
A.tell the readers how to take proper exercise every day |

B.have too much homework |
C.eat too much sugar every day |
D.don’t have enough exercise |
A.45 minutes. | B.90 minutes. | C.115 minutes. | D.135 minutes. |
A.We must take in much sugar for our body’s functioning well. |
B.The Internet leads to more health problems. |
C.The least sleep time needed for adults is less that that of teens. |
D.We need to do many things to form a healthy lifestyle. |

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗条的) people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat.
The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
小题1: Nowadays many Americans have the problem that ______.
A.they are too slim | B.they work too hard |
C.they are too fat | D.they lose too much body fat |
A.150. | B.300. | C.600. | D.270. |
A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence. |
B.Of course, there is some evidence to support this. |
C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. |
D.We are not sure. |

Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. That’s because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can. That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and
more. Scientists might even create anti-microbial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath.
Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They’ve created a gum that could help us stay awake. Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes. The gum is easy to transport and it’s stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill, it doesn’t require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use. For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military (军队). The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about _____.
A.the rule of forbidding chewing gum in school |
B.new research on chewing gum |
C.different kinds of chewing gum |
D.the relationship between chewing gum and medicine |
A.Touches. | B.Attacks. | C.Takes effect. | D.Affects badly. |
A.stay awake | B.fight colds |
C.cure headaches | D.overcome nervousness |
A.stay Alert is not easy to store |
B.stay Alert needs water to swallow |
C.stay Alert is available to the public now |
D.we can’t buy gums which cure bad breath now |

When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).
"People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in,"said Sauna Cheryan,an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington." If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health." Cheryan added.
Social pressures,the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem."In American society today, being American is associated with being white.Americans,who don"t fit this image even if they were born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they"re American," said Cheryan.
小题1:The author wants to show that __________.
A.more and more Asians enjoy high-calorie snacks |
