17、orie deficit is a state in which you burn more calories than you consume. As one of the most popular approaches of losing weight, how does it work? For example, if you burn 2,500 calories per day but only eat 2,000，you have created a deficit of 500 calories per day. There is mathematical certainty.
18、But, this by no means tells the whole story about how calories deficit affects our lives.Before wondering what a calorie deficit is, its probably best to learn what a calorie is. A calorie is a unit that we use to track our bodys energy expenditure (消耗) and storage. In order to just stay alive, huma
19、n beings (and animals) burn calories. This means, even before we perform any activity, our bodies are already using energy (measured in calories) to keep us alive. Around 70% of the calories we consume are spent on just keeping our vital organs running. Thus, if a person consumes calories far more l
20、ess than needed to look thin，it may have negative effects on the body.When people pick up a calorie deficit, they often merely note that the calorie math is irrefutable (无可辩驳的). The question here is that not all calories are the same. If you eat a few bags of potato chip worth of calories to support
21、 the calorie intake needed to maintain or cut down on your weight, it will work. But, this doesnt have the same effect on your body and overall health as a balanced nutritional meal containing the same amount of calories.It seems like a simple unit of energy has become an object of our societys obse
22、ssion. It neednt be that way. Remember, calorie deficits are just a tool, which serves a purpose in losing some weight and keeping track of your calorie intake seems simple enough.24What do we know about the calorie deficit?AIt helps people lose weight.BIt is a way of doing exercises.CIt affects peo
23、ples lives positively.DIt means the calories people consume.25Which of the following statements can be learned in Paragraph 2?AA calorie is a unit to store daily energy.BPeople need to burn calories to be alive.CCalorie intake is to keep our organs operating.DLiving animals only burn calories after

But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees dro

27、 Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the waters surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researcher
28、s used a wire to restrict each bees bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But tha
29、t weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. Its a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasnt been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects
30、 use their legs for propulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be use
