8、ble, realistic and tangible. Too many people judge whether theyre overweight by those depressing insurance-company tables listing“ ideal“or“healthy“body weights based on low mortality rates. But such tables represent only the weights of people who applied for life insurance and lived the longest. Th

9、ey do not accurately measure the effects of excess body fat on sickness or longevity for the entire population. Nor do they tell you your healthiest weight. Kate: To reduce, you must combine the three key elements of long-term weight control. First, follow a nutritionally balanced, healthful eating

10、plan. Increase the fiber in your diet and cut your fat intake to 25 to 30 grams per day. If youve selective about the food you choose, you can eat three meals a day and up to three low-fat snacks. One explanation for this quick impact is that you are what you eat. Its not just the pounds of excess b

11、ody fat that cause all the trouble. Its the high-fat calories that you consume every day to maintain those extra pounds. As soon as you cut out those additional high-fat calories, youll be healthier and happier. Jean : Heres the tough part. After trimming down, easy-does-it dieters spend at least si

12、x months adapting to their new weight. This gives the body time to adjust to the changes it has undergone in diet, exercise and life-style. Dont get caught in the trap of all-or-nothing thinking. An occasional lapse is normal. We recommend what we call the “R-K-0“system. Each day that you follow a p

13、rogram of low fat diet and exercise is an “R“day of “regularly reducing. “Days when you want to just hold steady eat a bit more, exercise slightly less are “K“days, for“keeping it off. “Days when you splurge are“0“days, for“off“. At the end of each day, mark an R, K or O on your calendar. The winnin

14、g formula is to have your K days, and your K days outnumber your O days. Rose: Of the 34 million American adults who are classified as overweight, about two million should lose 100 or more pounds. These people obviously need to lose more than ten percent of their body weight; they will require medic

15、al supervision, rapid weight loss and the use of special portion-controlled foods. In most cases, however, people who are overweight can start an easy-does-it plan. Then, after theyve maintained their new, slimmer bodies for six months, they can consider a second cycle. How do you decide whether you

16、ve lost enough weight? Feeling good is the first sign. Health-risk factors are an even better indicator. Before you go on an easy-does-it weight-loss program, have your doctor measure your cholesterol, body fat and blood pressure. Then check with your physician at the beginning of the six-month main

17、tenance stage. After that, you can move forward on your own. Jone: The easy-does-it diet is not so much a diet as an approach to weight loss and life-style. You dont have to hit a magic number on your scale. You can achieve a healthy weight safely and permanently if you just remember:easy does it. S

18、tatements 61. Joan A We should set“smart“goals. 62. Kate B The first few pounds you lose are the most valuable. 63. Jean C One must keep it off. 64. Rose D Moderate weight loss is easier to sustain. 65. Jone E Easy-does-it is necessary. F You should take it off. G Reassess. Part A 14 Mr. MacDougal h

20、struction of ancient Viking ships. Today Id like to discuss the transocean voyages that the Norse made in these open boats-voyages made without compasses or charts. Somehow the Vikings managed to get across the North Atlantic and back home again. Although the shortest distance between the coast of N

21、orway and Greenland is about 900 miles, the Vikings preferred to take a longer route south of Iceland and there-by avoid pack-ice. This was a voyage of well over one thousand miles. How did Norse sailors find land after days of sailing out of sight of land? Well, experienced sailors used the relativ

22、e position of the stars to help them navigate. The suns position could also be noted, but it moves across the sky and its position alters a little every day, so it was not easy for the Vikings to use. However, even when out of sight of land,an experienced sailor could find information. As there are

23、landmarks on land, so there are at sea. Whales gathered in large numbers to feed at an area half a days sail south of Iceland. Migrating birds on their annual flight were also helpful because they always followed the same route. So, geese flying be-tween Britain and Iceland were of particular use to

24、 the Vikings. One Icelander also took ravens with him, releasing them until one day they didnt return. He followed their direction and found land. In 900 AD, ingenuity had to take the place of technology. 1 【正确答案】 C 2 【正确答案】 A 3 【正确答案】 B 4 【正确答案】 A 5 【听力原文】 Id like to talk to you about a television

27、tectors, video cameras, and other equipment to monitor the volcanos activities.
