10、on telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹部的). Its easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. A
11、nd did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products - no matter who approved them or how expensive they are - shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury - like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which
12、 left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise. The fact is that many Americans dont have the
13、biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they cant lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat. Thats enough to exclude
14、 most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day. So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as Body Boogies and Good Morn
15、ings will help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets. Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the re
16、sults with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer. Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to d
17、evelop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements - so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on th
18、e floor - and exercises performed on the Captains Chair, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.21.Which of the followi
19、ng is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?ATorso Track. BCaptains Chair. CAb-Doer. DBody Shaper-Q8SP.22According to the author, its difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because .Ahow big their muscles will be is determined by birth Bthey change their

22、ate the perfect stomach and exercise machine.B SAN FRANCISCO- Only 21 percent of workers worldwide are“engaged-thats the word used to describe workers who are ready to expend some extra effort at work-while 38 percent are disengaged, according toa new survey. “Engagement is not satisfaction or happi
23、ness, but the degree to which workers connect to the company emotionally, and the degree to which workers are aware of what they need to do to add value and are willing to take that action, said Julie Gebauer, a managing director of Towers Perrin, a consulting firm, which surveyed almost 90,000 work
24、ers in 19 countries. “Happy employees dont necessarily create better financial results, but there is a definite link between engagement and a companys financial performance, Gebauer said. The survey found 21 percent of workers worldwide are engaged, and another 41 percent are ”enrolled, which means
25、theyre on the road to engagement. More than 80 percent of the engaged employees say they contribute to the quality of company products, services and customer satisfaction, while only 40 percent of disengaged workers agree. Engagement helps retention(留置)too. About 50 percent of engaged employees say
26、they have no plans to leave their company versus 15 percent of the disengaged. “The fact that almost 80 percent of workers are disengaged is likely costing companies money. Gebauer said. “The conception of engagement is really a financial issue, said Gebauer. Organizations that have employees that a
27、re highly engaged deliver better financial results than those that dont. In a separate study, Towers Perrin assessed data on 40 global companies over a three-year period, measuring employee engagement at a certain point and then looking at the companies financial results over the following three yea
28、rs. Companies with highly motivated workers enjoyed a 3. 7 percent increase in profits, while companies with a lower level of worker commitment saw a decrease in profits slightly. What makes for an engaged employee? Its not necessarily pay. While the level of pay is important, its not among the top
29、10 drivers of engagement. Rather than only using the pay, companies should survey their work force, much as they might study their customers, to assess what employees are seeking.25. The underlined word “ienrolled in Paragraph 4 means .A. engaged B. disengagedC. over-engaged D. not yet but to be eng
