Lake Baikal

1 Crescent-shaped Lake Baikal, in Siberia, is only the ninth

largest lake in area at 385 miles (650 km) in length and 46 miles

(74 km) in width, yet it is easily the largest body of fresh water in

the world. It holds one-fifth of the world's total fresh water, which

is more than the total of all the water in the five Great Lakes; it

holds so much fresh water in spite of its less-than-impressive area

because it is by far the world's deepest lake. The average depth

of the lake is 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level, and the

Olkhon Crevice, the lowest known point, is more than 5,250 feet

(1,600 meters) deep.

2 Lake Baikal, which today is located near the center of the

Asian peninsula, is most likely the world's oldest lake. It began

forming 25 million years ago as Asia started splitting apart in a

任何饮食习惯都无法违反热力学定律，即使现在充斥各种神奇的减重方法，减轻体重的唯一方法只有消耗的热量。但新的研究指出增加体重的身体位置可以提供线索来决定那种饮食习惯将最适合你。

【Section One】Article

No diet has ever been able to defy the laws of thermodynamics.

Whether you go low carb, low fat, low this or low that, the only way to

lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. Even the new "it"

diet, volumetrics—which uses fancy terms such as energy density and

satiety to describe why filling up on certain low-calorie, water-based

foods like celery makes you less hungry—can‘t miraculously melt away

fat. But new research indicates that where on your body you pack on

extra kilograms may provide a clue to determining which diet will work

best for you.

It is already widely accepted that even the most rigorously

adhered-to diet will not produce the same results from person to person.

some traditional cultural practices that are associated with

particular art forms. For example, the most important traditional

Navajo rituals include the production of large floor paintings.
