BSome people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in th
16、e immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order
17、to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? Americ
18、an scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance?

19、same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesnt retu

24、dly D. you will be too tired to moveCMuch information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses th
25、at he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others stare with you that way. Ey
26、es do convey information, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But 6things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视),his intentions are obvious, that is, he wis
27、hes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what th
28、e former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the ey
29、e is a sign of honest communication. In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the

McDonalds. What do these companies have in common?Well, besides all being fast food chains, their logos are all
33、red. And its not a coincidence. Color is one of the many that companies use to connect with customers.

34、estors thought important enough to name. Early human languages were uncolorful. There were words for “black” and “white” and “red” but not much else.As a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in certain ways that actually play to fast food companies advan
35、tage. For starters, researchers have found that red can cause a sense of urgency. On top of that, it also has an ability to whet (刺激) our appetites. And when you pair those two together, youve got the perfect recipe to attract hungry customers who want food, fast.So the red logo isnt just a welcomin
36、g sign. Its a seduction (诱惑) for your brain. Now, its unclear why red makes us feel this way. But perhaps it has something to do with where the word comes from.
