11、come across a good essay in reading newspapers,I am often inclined to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health,or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.I
12、f I cut the front essay,the opposite one is bound to suffer damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject.As a result,the scissors would stay before they start,or halfway done when I find out the regretful consequence that inevitably causes my repentance.Sometimes two things
13、are to be done at the same time,both deserving your attention.You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be given up.But you know the future is unpredictablethe changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind.Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad.How come that nice o
14、pportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other.In fact that is what life is like:we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspape
15、r cutting.It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another.The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I still remember a philosophers remarks:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual or passive choice m

22、arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you dont have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.Occasionally,youll run into a downloaded file

47、项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWe know the effect calories have on your body.For each pound of weight that your body carries,it takes about 12 calories per pound per day to keep it alive.If you weigh 150 pounds,you therefore need about (15012) 1800 calories per day to keep yourself alive and maintain that same weig
48、ht.If you were to eat more than 1800 calories per day,the surplus turns into fat.It takes about 3600 excess calories to make a pound of fat.Lets say that you were to eat,on average,2000 calories per day.That extra 200 calories per day is going to turn into fat.However,you will eventually hit a point
49、 of equilibrium(平衡，均衡) because as you gain weight,you need more calories to maintain that weight.So,a person eating an average of 2000 calories per day will hit equilibrium at (2000/12) 166.67 pounds.So lets say that you eat,on average,2000 calories per day and reach equilibrium at 166 pounds.Then y
50、ou go on a crash diet where you eat only 1000 calories per day for 60 days.You lose 16 pounds and reach your target weight of 150 pounds.But then you go right back to eating 2000 calories per day again.The graph below shows your eating pattern before,during and after the diet:Note that the graph ass
51、umes that you,like most people,eat a random number of calories per day.Some days you are “good” and eat less,and some days you are “bad” and eat more,but the assumption is that it averages out to 2000 calories per day over the long run.This graph shows what happens to your weight before,during and a
52、fter the diet:The diet really takes the weight off.But the weight comes right back when you return to your “normal” eating pattern.The weight appears to come back so quickly because when you are at your lightest,you tend to gain more weight each day.The lighter you are,the fewer calories you need.If
53、 you only need 1500 calories per day and youre eating 2000,youre going to gain weight faster than if you need 1800 and youre eating 2000.56.The passage is mainly about_.A.how to lose weight effectivelyB.why the weight comes back so quickly once a person stops dietingC.why a person puts on weightD.ho

79、o,greeting cards have been considered a time-saver.More than 150 years ago,a busy Englishman,Sir Henry,asked a friend to design a card so that he didnt have to labour to write holiday letters to his friends at the end of the year.Those paper cards are now the tradition.But time,like sunlight,is stil
80、l in short supply for December.Thats why the Internet is ready to make a change in holiday greeting customs.Already,those,who are always busy,like sending video greetings by e-mail.So,dont be surprised to find a lively card in your electronic mail box at the end of the year or at any time you should
81、 have one.A recent survey by the Shared Greetings Company found 50 percent of all the Internet users will send online cards especially during the holiday seasons.“That is a lot easier,and it is lively,”said Carol,a New Yorker,who had stopped at the Shared Greetings Company demonstration() online.Wit

83、gs at a time.”But he added “the e-card also has its limits,and I dont think it is ready to replace the paper card for the more formal or traditional occasions.For some people,I would rather buy paper cards and mail them traditionally.I believe it is more personal and respectful in that way,”he said.
84、Well,for those who are very busy but still prefer to do a lot of greetings to different receivers in the holiday season,the Internet may have another way.“Now you can use the Net to decide and send as many as 50 beautiful cards,which allows the buyer to choose the inside saying,as well as the ink co
