18、 not move.At first, I thought that yesterdays dangers had made my body too weak and too tired to move. Then, suddenly, I heard some very strange noises. As I listened, I heard the sounds of people around me, but I could see no one. “So I am not alone here! Thank God!” I thought. I tried to turn my h

19、ead, but I could not move it in any direction. I turned my eyes down to look at my body and saw that I had been tied down to the ground with hundreds of small ropes.Just at that moment, I felt something moving up my leg. It was small and light and I thought that perhaps it was a small animal like a

20、mouse or something. I felt the thing touch my chin and looked down to see what sort of animal was climbing on me. I had never been as shocked in my life as I was at that moment. Standing on my chest was a tiny person! The little man stood on my chest, pulled out a tiny sword, and pointed it at my he

21、ad. As I stared at him in surprise, the little man shouted something in a strange language. “Hekinah degu!” he said. I had no idea what this meant, but I guessed that it was not a friendly greeting.I did not know what to do, but I wanted to get free from the ropes. I moved my body back and forth, tr

22、ying to break the ropes. When I freed my left arm, the little people began to shout loudly. Quickly, I used my arm to pull off the ropes that held my head to the ground.A moment later, hundreds of small arrows flew through the air and hit my hands and face. They felt like tiny needles in my skin. I

23、shouted in pain and raised my hands to cover my face. Many small men jumped onto my body and began to attack me with their swords. I guessed they were angry.

27、ave up at last.CThere are times when I leave for my running-group sessions with little enthusiasm. It might be because Im tired, or stressed, or dont want to leave something else. But Im the coach, so I cant choose to give it a miss.It was yet another cold, dark, wet evening and I wasnt feeling the

28、love as I gathered all the necessary equipments. No one in their right mind will come out in this weather, I thought. But when I turned into the car park, my headlights picked out runners making a dash through the rain to our meeting point, where others were already working out to stay warm, with ch

29、at, laughter and hugs. They, too, I realized, might be tired, stressed or busy. But, unlike me, they had a choice about whether to come running or stay at home. And that makes their decision to come-and to keep on coming-more encouraging. Then, I went home from the run feeling better than when Id ar

30、rived.I believe one of the strongest motivations(激励；动机) behind these runners decisions to come along is being part of a group. Belonging to a running community makes running greater than running itself. Its no longer just a workout; its a get-together with friends, a laugh and a shared experience. I

31、t provides a chance to share your success and disappointments, to be congratulated and comforted, and, just as important, to congratulate and comfort others.Research has long shown the possibility of staying motivated is higher when exercise takes place in a group. The reasons are many. A study at t

32、he University of Southern California found people enjoy physical activity more when they are with others and are more likely to keep it up over the long term. And research by Strava in 2017 found running in a group made runners go faster and further. Using data from 90 million runs taking place all

34、s than by the running itself. It might be true, but it doesnt matter. Those laughter-filled minutes are every bit as important as the running in between.28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The coach was always enthusiastic.B. The coach was never discouraged.C. The coach was sometimes u

35、nwilling.D. The coach was often worn out.29. Why is being part of a group most motivational?A. It needs a coach who can offer help.B. It frees runners from boring daily work.C. It helps members to beat their records.D. It creates space for their communication.30. That being in a group improves perfo

37、ut of allD. add more life to their running experienceDEating a big breakfast could help you burn double the amount of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner.It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady, researchers at Lbeck University in Germany said. T

38、heir study found filling up in the morning boosts a metabolism (新陈代谢) process known as diet-induced thermogenesis(DIT). DIT refers to the number of calories the body expends to heat the body and digest food. It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner. On the

39、other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite(食欲), especially for sweets, the researchers admitted. The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism were based on a laboratory experiment of 16 men. They consumed a low and high calorie breakfast and dinner one d

40、ayand then vice versa (反过来) on another. The study also showed increases in blood sugar and insulin concentrations, caused by eating a meal, was reduced after breakfast, but not so much after dinner. The results also showed eating a low-calorie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. T

41、his suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more.The study adds to increasing evidence that the best way of losing weight is to eat your largest meal in the morningand your smallest in the evening. Dr Richter, a neurobiologist at Lbeck

42、 University, said, “Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent obesity(肥胖) and high blood sugar.” Both obesity and high blood sugar can lead to many life-threatening illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous research has shown DIT is lower in people with

43、 obesity. Its seen as a measure of how well our metabolism is working.DIT can differ depending on mealtime and is generally slower in the evening and at night due to our body clocks. Dr Richter said, “We recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a large breakfast rather than

44、 a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases.”Professor Daniela Jakubowicz, author of The Big Breakfast Diet, found that those who piled on the calories in the morning were more likely to feel satisfied, preventing snacking throughout the day. And another study by Professor J

45、akubowicz found that eating chocolate in the morning, when our metabolism is at its highest, prevented desires for sweet things later on.32. We can learn from the second paragraph that DIT _ A. is usually slower in the evening than during the daytime.B. refers to the number of calories needed to hea

According to the study, eating a high-calorie breakfast can _.A. cause diabetes B. lead to obesity C. keep appetite D. lower blood sugar 34. What are the findings of
