It could also be the extra calories, fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come with (2) __________drinking.A recent study found that men consume an (3)__________ 433 calories (equivalent to a McDonald's double cheeseburger) on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About 61% of the caloric increase comes from the alcohol itself. Men also report eating higher amounts of saturated fats and meat, and less fruit and milk, on those days than on days when they aren't drinking, the study showed.Women fared a bit better, taking in an extra 300 calories on moderate-drinking days, from the alcohol and eating fattier foods. But women's increase in calories from additional eating wasn't statistically significant, the study said.'Men and women ate less healthily on days they drank alcohol,' said Rosalind Breslow, an epidemiologist with the federal National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and lead author of the study. 'Poorer food choices on drinking days have public-health (4)__________,' she said.The findings dovetail with controlled lab studies in which (5)__________ generally eat more food after consuming alcohol. Researchers suggest that alcohol may enhance 'the short-term rewarding effects' of consuming food, according to a 2021 report in the journal Physiology & Behavior that reviewed previous studies on alcohol, appetite and obesity.But other studies have pointed to a different trend. Moderate drinkers gain less weight over time than either heavy drinkers or people who abstain from alcohol, particularly women, this research has shown. Moderate drinking is (6) __________having about two drinks a day for men and one for women.'People who gain the least weight are moderate drinkers, regardless of [alcoholic] beverage choice,' said Eric Rimm, an associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the 2021 review of alcohol in the federal dietary (7)__________. The weight-gain difference is modest, and 'starting to drink is not a weight-loss diet,' he said.The various research efforts form part of a long-standing (8)__________ about how alcohol affects people's appetites, weight and overall health. Researchers say there aren't simpleanswers, and suggest that individuals' metabolism, drinking patterns and gender may play a role.Alcohol is 'a real wild card when it comes to weight management,' said Karen Miller-Kovach, chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. At seven calories per gram, alcohol is closer to fat than to carbohydrate or protein in caloric content, she said. Alcohol tends to lower restraint, she notes, causing a person to become more (9)__________ with what they're eating.Research bolstering the role of moderate drinking in helping to control weight gain was published in 2004 in the journal Obesity Research. That study followed nearly 50,000 women over eight years. An earlier study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1994, followed more than 7,000 people for 10 years and found that moderate drinkers gained less weight than nondrinkers. Studies comparing changes in waist circumference among different groups have yielded similar results.Dr. Rimm said it isn't clear why moderate drinking may be (10)__________ against typical weight gain, but it could have to do with metabolic adjustments. After people drink alcohol, their heart rate increases so they burn more calories in thefollowing hour.'It's a modest amount,' he said. 'But if you take an individual that eats 100 calories instead of a glass of wine, the person drinking the glass of wine will have a slight increase in the amount of calories burned.'A:indulgentB:participantsC:debateD:consideredE:contributesF:contestG:guidelinesH:protectiveI:moderateJ:indexK:implicationsL:considerateM:additionalN:experiencedO:owes参考答案1.E:contributes2.I:moderate3.M:additional4.K:implications5.B:participants6.D:considered7.G:guidelines8.C:debate9.A:indulgent10.H:protective全文翻译啤酒肚的形成并不只是因为啤酒本身。

英语复习题一、选词填空Unit1Good communication is the key to success when leaning online. You should take theopportunity to get to know your teacher and classmates through email and by participating inInternet discussion. This will lead to a more positive and rewarding learning experience.It’s true that learning the technology needed to take part in a class can at times be frustratingFor example, you may need to ask how to post your assignment on the Wed. But, don’t worry! I you have a problem, ask for help. There’s no such thing as a stupid question, so there is no need tobe intimidated or embarrassed. Sharing insight and answers freely is what makes the Internet sucha great medium for learning.Online classroom teacher Mike Roberts was asked about what he thought the greatestbenefit of online learning is. “As a teacher, I need the student to ask questions so that I know whatareas of my lessons need further explanation. That’s what is great about teaching and learningover the Internet. In an ordinary classroom, time is limited, so students seem to ask the minimumamount of questions possible. But in the virtual classroom ,students are always asking questions.They really seem to feel comfortable, asking me for the information that they need. They alsoshare a lot of valuable ideas with each other in a way that you don’t usually see in a regularclassroom.”Unit2I have to you about the way you dress. I was a little intimidated to comment in person, so Iam writing instead. I hope this doesn’t upset you ,but something has to be done. I must appealto you start dressing like mom.Personally, it’s Your unique sense of fashion is more like a sister’sthan a mother’s.embarrassing to have a mom who dresses younger than I do. Your wear T-shirt with torn jeans andyour nose is pierced .My friends say it’s strange ,but I think they’re being a little too negativ It’s most likely because their boyfriends think you are pretty. Still, if you want me to have anyfriends in this community, it is vital that you remove the ring from your nose and start dressing？like the other moms. Don’t your peers ever show any concernDon’t you remember how horrible being a teenager can be ? I feel awful because I thinkpeople of my age would rather talk to you than to me. Last week at the shopping center, I had theabsolutely worst experience of my life. The young man who took our money asked if you were myolder sister. I thought he would likely ask you out if I hadn’t said “Thanks, mom” to you disgusting.Unit 3Some people just can’t keep from giving. That was the way it was with my neighbor.Despite being crippled, she was very active. In fact, she seemed to do more for the communityevery day than I ever do in a year’s time. I was always amazed at the pace she kept. On Mondaysand Fridays, she worked at a college giving students guidance on what career to choose. OnTuesdays and Thursdays she helped out at a church that gave aid to people without homes. And onthe weekends, she taught local kids who needed extra help with their schoolwork. And mostimportantly, she always had a positive attitude. I don’t remember once hearing her complain about her troubles. The stresses of everyday life never seemed to bother her. Instead, she looked forevery occasion she could find to spread her good humor around. I remember when I had just lostmy job. She took a day off from work to spend time with me and listen to my trifles. She neveronce became impatient with my complaints. She never acted like there was anything in this wordmore important than what I had to say.What I regret now is not having ever really done anything for her. I suppose she neverneeded it.Unit 4“So, how about your interview?”“The whole thing was bad from the beginning. I entered the room with confidence andgave the woman a strong handshake. She said I squeezed too hard and hurt her. I had a real hardtime communicating with her after that.”“What do you mean?”“Well, i t was pretty apparent that I failed to persuade to hire me. I tired to make eyecontact with her, but she kelp looking away, which made me think she wasn’t very focused orinterested in what I was saying.”very“I k now what you mean. It can be so stressful being interviewed for a job. It’sdepressing when you don’t get any encouragement from the person who is asking you question.But, don’t worry. I’m sure you made a better impression than what you think.”“I don’t think I impressed her at all. I was really bothered that she kelp looking away,only interrupting me once in a while to throw in a word or two. I had to get her attention bymaking big gestures and changing the tone of my voice. I don’t think I have ever had such ahorrible experience.”Unit 5AIDS has emerged as the world’s biggest problem over the past 25 years. Theepidemic touched the lives of people around the world, but no other place had been plagued likeAfrica. In Africa 20 million people were infected with the disease in 1999. That number continuesto grow. Africa has accounted for nearly four out of five AIDS related deaths in the world. It isestimated that as of 1999, 13 million children had lost their parents to AIDS. Although there is nocure, people in more developed countries can get medicine to help. In Africa though, most do nothave access to new medicines. Most people neglect going to the doctor to find out if they have thedisease. Because they have not been diagnosed with the illness, they continue to spread the diseasewithout knowing it. Many men leave their rural homes to find work. This threatens many peoplewhen the workers have AIDS and their behavior is not safe.In response to this crisis, many groups have set up programs. The goal is to educatepeople about AIDS. It is difficult to implement such programs, though, because of poor literacyrates. Some education programs have worked, though. One such project combats people’s fear getting tested for AIDS. Other campaigns focus on schooling for the poor.二、翻译题Unit 11. 对于网络可课程，学生不仅可以选择何时何地学习，在回答问题之前他们还可以有时间思考问题。

My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?”They said, “Of course.”My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later I did go to college. But Inaively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting. It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand-calligraphed.Unit315 “I did not remember very much more about that day, except that the sun seemed to have stopped shining and the country no longer looked beautiful and full of promise, but bleak and desolate as it sometimes does in winter or in times of drought. Late that afternoon, Jantje, the little Hottentot herd boy, came up to me and handed me a letter, which he said the English gentleman had left for me.It was the only love letter I ever received, but it turned all my bitterness and grief into a peacefulness which was the nearest I could get, then, to happiness. I knew Richard still loved me, and somehow, as long as I had his letter, I felt that we could never be really parted, even if he were in England and I had to remain on the farm. I have it yet, and though I am an old, tired woman, it still gives me hope and courage.”22 It was not a love letter in the true sense of the word, but pages of the minutest directions of how “my sweetest Phina”was to elude her father’s vigilance, creep down to the drift at night and there meet Jantje with a horse which would take her to Smitsdorp. There she was to go to “my true friend, Henry Wilson”who would give her money and make arrangements for her to follow her love to Cape Town and from there to England, “where, my love, we can be married at once. But if, my dearest, you are not sure that you can face life with me in a land strange to you, then do not take this important step, for I love you too much to wish you the smallest unhappiness. If you do not come, and if I do not hear from you, then I shall know that you could never be happy so far from the people and the country which you love. If, however, you feel you can keep your promise to me, but are too timid and modest to journey to England unaccompanied, then write to me, and I will, by some means, return to fetch my bride. ”Unit57 Lindsey hung up the phone before her mom could say another word. She realized that an extensive search on her part was going to be required to remove herself from the case. Moreover, she was going to have to locate the place Sara was living in four years ago around the time of the crimes. Lindsey drove over to Sara’s home in search of anything left behind linking her with the Portland area.Her home was still the same, because their mom kept it after Sara passed away. Lindsey entered the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. The living room looked very clean. Lindsey was with Sara when she bought the home and it seemed weird walking back into the home without her sister around. Lindsey wasn’t surprised at the neatness and cleanness of the rooms. She looked shocked as she entered the bathroom, which was a mess with trash on the tiled floor and a dirt ring around the tub.Next, Lindsey walked into her sister’s bedroom and saw her bras and panties thrown on the bed and floor, with an unplugged TV sitting by her water bed. Lindsey proceeded back into the kitchen and found Sara’s address book on the counter. She found three numbers with Oregon area codes, which were for two female friends and an ex-boyfriend named Johnny.13 “You’re lying to me! I was there and saw my sister in her coffin before she was buried. I helped pay for her tombstone,”Lindsey answered in an angry tone of voice. She moved herself to another chair in the corner of the small room and put her head in herhands. A knock at the door and Sara and their mom walked into the room. Lindsey was shocked looking at her sister standing there, with a disturbed look on her face. She looked nice in a black pantsuit and her hair was draped around her face. Their mom wore a pair of blue jeans and a tan sweatshirt, and her hair was pulled back from her face in a ponytail. Neither detective could believe that Sara had anything to do with the robberies that had taken place in Portland, Oregon. When Lindsey saw her sister and mom, she knew the detectives weren’t going to believe her story after all. She didn’t understand how they couldn’t believe that her sister had died when there had to be a report from the autopsy done after her death. Lindsey felt betrayed by her family and she knew that her instinct had been right when she felt that her mom was hiding information the previous day. Both women turned and looked at Lindsey with disappointment as if she had just made up the entire story. Lindsey knew very well that the detectives wanted to solve the case and get it off their desks.。
