However, there are some types of drinks that will speed up the fat burning and help you lose weight quicker than you normally would, and here you will find 2 of the most efficient ones:Green tea has been used for hundreds of years due to its numerous benefits, and weight loss is just one of them although green tea alone will only help you lose a few pounds, it will certainly serve as a great addition to your diet in the long run. Drinking one cup of tea per day will deliver all the antioxidants （抗氧化剂） you need and it will also help you burn fat at a faster pace by promoting the metabolism （新城代谢）.

Green tea is said to also help you reduce stress and relax better.Fruit juices are delicious, easy to prepare and very rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals besides this, there are literally hundreds of different fruits you can choose from, and pear and cranberries are only two of the most delicious, most efficient and most popular ones given the fact that they contain high amounts of Vitamin C. Not only will the cranberry and pear juice help you lose weight by promoting your metabolism, but it will also increase your overall energy levels and deliver your body all the essential vitamins and proteins that it so much needs.

Its business-to-business site, A allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “Youre looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibabas original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibabas profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. TM is Alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping big-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. Im not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.32Alibabas advantage mainly lies in .Aits low price Bits big size Cits not charging small sellers Dits business-to-business service 33We know from the passage that Alibaba .Awill continue to develop. Bcharges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale.Cacts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.Dis of middle size among all the online sites.34What can be inferred from the passage?AAlibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail. BTM provides more profit than Taobao.CTaobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.DThe authors Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. 35What is the passage mainly about?AShopping online in China is TaoBao.BHow the author purchases online in China.CShopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. DAlibaba influences peoples daily purchase in China. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
