television 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. and 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 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 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 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 mornings 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 results 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 develop 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 the 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 following 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 exercise routine regularlycinjuries interrupt their exercise frequentlydthey do not put in enough efforts23the author convinces the readers by .adescribing successful casesbpresenting findings of researchescoffering comments directly from exercisersdcomparing advertisements of products24whats the main purpose of this passage?ato sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.bto indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.cto promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.dto research and develop in order to create 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 happiness, 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 workers 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 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 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 are 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 years. 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 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 engaged26. according to the text, among 500 disengaged employees, how many would probably have the intention of leaving their company?a. 50. b. 75. c. 250. d. 425.27. what would probably be talked about following the last paragraph?a. the top ten drivers of engagement.b. the reason to encourage engagement.c. the importance of the pay level in engagement.d. the survey of work force in a company.c our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of john hopkins hospital in baltimore. we lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients at the clinic. one evening as i was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. i opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. hes hardly taller than my eight-year-old son. “good evening. ive come to see if youve a room. i came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and theres no bus till morning.” he told me hed been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “i guess its my facei know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments” for a moment i hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “i could sleep in this chair on the porch. my bus leaves early in the morning.” i told him we would find him a bed. when i had finished the dishes, i talked with him. he told me he fished for a living to support his five children, and his wife, who was hopelessly crippled (残疾的) from a back injury. he didnt tell it by way of complaint. next morning, just before he left, as if asking a great favor, he said, “could i come back and stay the next time?” he added, “your children made me feel at home.” on his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. as a gift, he brought a big fish and the largest oysters (牡蛎) i had ever seen. i knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. and i wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us. in the years he came to stay overnight with us and there was never a time that he did not bring us vegetables from his garden. i know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned how to accept the bad without complaint when facing the misfortune.28. why did the author agree to let the man spend the night in his house at last?a. because the man said others refused to accommodate him. b. because the

accept the bad without complaintd. he stayed only overnight with the writers familyd an idea that started in seattles public library has spread throughout america and beyondthe concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time. in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schoolsthe idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched (发起）the if all of seattle read the same book project in 1998her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities, and even to hong kong. in chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the one book, one chicago programas a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the cityacross the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character the only problem arose in new york ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse populationthis may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. ultinatelas nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.32what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?ato invite authors to guide readers.bto encourage people to read and share.cto involve people in community service.dto promote the friendship between cities.33.why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?athey had little interest in reading.bthey were too busy to read a book.cthey came from many different backgroundsdthey lacked support from the local government34according to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?ain large communities with little sense of unitybin large cities where libraries are far from homecin medium-sized cities with a diverse populationdin large towns where agreement can be quickly reached35according to nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .athe careful selection of a proper bookbthe growing popularity
