Some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:Ill never lose weight - I come from a fat family.Wrong! While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowly.Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）. If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boring.Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it many times. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gain.Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you dont, rest and seek medical advice.8. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.

Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misunderstanding about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.D It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.12. According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?A. Over 400 friends in their whole lives B. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stageC. 400 internet friends in their whole lives D. 150 friends all the life.13. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. There is a rule about making friends B. People with different views can become friendsC. Friendships mean different things to different people D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to14. We can learn from the text that most of us_.A. need to be with others B. build friendships late in lifeC. are dissatisfied with our friends D. are frightened to talk to people15. What is the authors attitude towards talking to a stranger?A. Not interested B. Satisfied C. Doubtful D.
