Losing weight can seem like an unwinnable war. You know you need to eat less and exercise more, but that’s (1) impossible when everything in your life—from job stress to the temptation of fast and (2) foods—encourages you to do the (3) . A healthy diet and regular exercise are certainly the best weapons against weight gain, (4) the fact is that sometimes they aren’t enough. And that’s (5) science may someday be able to help.
In various research labs, researchers are closely looking (6) the biological mechanisms of obesity, (7) why some bodies store fat so (8) , and why others are better at burning the calories they (9) . They are discovering a surprising (10) of metabolic and physiologic factors that contribute to weight: did you know, for instance, that your intestines are full of bacteria that can (11) or restrain weight gain to some extent Or that the brown fat—which is (12) in newborns—actually burns a lot of calories, (13) the traditional white fat commonly stored in bellies
These and other findings about the biology of weight gain could be the (14) to slimming our collective waistline, if scientists can someday use them to (15) better treatments for obesity. (16) we could use the help: in the decade between the year of 1991 and that of 2000, the (17) of overweight adults in the U.S. increased by 61%. Last year, 30% of children in 30 states (18) the scales as either overweight or obese. "We just don’t have enough physicians to treat all the obese people," says Dr. Michael Jensen, professor of medicine.
If the latest findings from obesity labs prove as (19) as they are promising, they could in the future make the job of fighting obesity easier for (20) and patients, and help all of us get an extra boost from our diet and exercise programs.

David was a young man who worked in an office in a big city. His hobby was fishing, but he didn’t often get a chance to practise it.
Then one summer he decided to have a holiday in a beautiful place in the mountains where here were a lot of streams. "I ought to be able to have some good fishing there," he said to himself.
The first morning after he arrived, he walked to the nearest stream with his fishing-rod. He aw an old man standing beside the water, so he asked him whether it was a private(私人的) stream. The old man answered it was not, so David then said to him, "Well, then it won’t be a crime(犯罪) if I catch some fish here, will it"
"Oh, no," answered the old man. "It won’t be a crime, but it will certainly be a miracle(奇迹)。"
A:Since no other persons are here, I wont disclose (揭发) it B:It will certainly be a miracle if I don't disclose it C:There isn't any fish in the stream D:I will surely report you to the owner of the stream
"It won't be a crime, but it will certainly be a miracle" means "______"
A:Since no other persons are here, I wont disclose (揭发) it B:It will certainly be a miracle if I don't disclose it C:There isn't any fish in the stream D:I will surely report you to the owner of the stream
The role of women in Britain has changed a lot in this century, (51) in the last twenty years. The main change has been (52) giving women greater equality with men. Up to the beginning of this century, women seem to have had (53) rights. They could not vote and were kept at home. (54) , as far as we know, most women were happy with this situation. Today, women in Britain certainly (55) more fights than they used to. They were (56) the vote in 1919. In 1970 a law was passed to give them an equal (57) of wealth in the case of divorce, (58) the Equal Pay Act gave them the right of equal pay with men for work of equal value in the same year.
Yet (59) these changes, there are still great difference in status between men and women. Many employers seem to (60) the Equal Pay Act, and the average working women is (61) to earn only about half that a man earns for the same job. (62) a survey, at present, only one-third of the country’s workers are (63) women. This small percentage is partly (64) a shortage of nurseries. If there were (65) nurseries, twice as many women might well go out to work.
