【推荐1】You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.
RunningRunning is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.
High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.
Jumping ropeThis childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.
SwimmingSwimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.

【推荐1】A man recently connected with me on LinkedIn and sent me this note: “Let me know if you ever need a writer. ”I guess he’s a writer? I don’t know. But I do know this phrase “Let me know if you ever need a…” shows up a lot, in my inbox and surely yours, too. I’ve come to think of it as the eight most deadly words in selling oneself because that phrase is the death of opportunity.
Let’s consider the approach. These people are being standoffish. Rather than selling themselves, they’re shifting the burden onto someone else to make the sale. If I need a writer, I should reach out to them. If I need a story, I should ask them for an interview. If I need a customer service solution, I should ask them for details. “Let me know if you ever need a…” sounds like an invitation, but it’s really a shrug.
Imagine the situation where I’d assign a story to the writer who used the nine words, “Let me know if you ever need a writer. ”Just anyone who can string words together. I would have needed to be in a panic, so desperate for someone to contribute to our magazine that I’d stopped thinking about great writers or good writers, or even serviceable writers and simply settled for: a writer. This isn’t a situation that exists. The world is full of good options! We are not living in times of shortage. If we need a job done, there are plenty of qualified people to do it. Our question is: Who’s the best?
If you want to create opportunity for yourself, answer that question convincingly. The first thing to do is show someone you are the opportunity. Hiring you can help them. We also need to stop hiding behind ourselves. Get out in front! Sell yourself and your amazing abilities. Understand someone’s problem, and explain exactly why you are the solution. Avoid saying “Let me know if you ever need a…”. Instead, start with: “Let me explain how I can help you.”
1. What do we know from the author’s experience?| A．We’d better start our own careers as early as possible. |
| B．The author prefers to hire his employees on LinkedIn. |
| C．The phrase “Let me know if you ever need a…” is useful. |
| D．Many people use the wrong opening sentence to sell themselves. |
| A．Frank and open. | B．Unfriendly and proud. |
| C．Unsure and sensitive. | D．Concerned and confident. |
| A．The author is in desperate need of a writer’s help. |
| B．There are very few great writers available nowadays. |
| C．Anyone who can string words together is a good writer. |
| D．The author isn’t interested in the writer using the nine words. |
| A．Ways of selling oneself. | B．Tips for job interviews. |
| C．Preparations for landing a job. | D．Requirements for common jobs. |
Unlike the main way of thinking that you’ll only achieve passion for your work through finding the right fit with a line of work - what the researchers call “fit theory”, the researchers say you can learn to love your job and find meaning in it gradually (“developing theory”).
We probably hear and think a lot more about “fit theory” than “developing theory” because we’ve become used to it. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,” said Steve Jobs. “And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
Chen and colleagues examined some students’ career attitudes and expectations with regard to “fit theory” and “developing theory”. “People can achieve similar levels of passion at work by accepting either the fit or develo-ping theory. The key difference lies in how these results are reached: fit theorists(理论家) tend to self-select into lines of work that fit them from the start, while developing theorists grow into that fit over time.”
Fit theorists tend to value enjoyment at the expense of good pay, while developing theorists are willing to let enjoyment take a back seat to other goals, safe in the knowledge that they’ll grow into the role and find enjoyment over time.
Everyone has moments of being bored with their work, but it’s important to keep your thoughts focused on the bigger picture, your long-term goals, and why you took the role in the first place.
1. According to the “fit theory”, a person will_________.
| A．treat his job as a great deal |

| A．the romantic idea of “fit theory” |
| B．the difficulty of finding passion for jobs |
| C．the great pursuit of satisfying jobs |
| D．the influence of “fit theory” on the business |
| A．consider your situation as a whole |
| B．try other new jobs as soon as possible |
| C．consider your role in your work first |
| D．start your work from the beginning again |
| A．You Will Have Passion for Your Work |
| B．You Can Learn to Love Your Job |
| C．You Will Finally Achieve Your Job Goal |
| D．You Can Get Enjoyment from Your Work |
【推荐3】In the first term of college, Professor Kelly lectured us in his acting class about the importance of taking the business of acting seriously. As I prepare to take on my senior year, I think back on the first term and I consider my seriousness and my love for the art of theatre. I’m pleased to say that for the most part, my determination remains as strong as ever.
Even after I’ve learned about the difficulties and the heartbreak that go with working as an actor, I know that it is still the right path for me. Something Professor Kelly said in that first acting class has stuck with me through these last three years. He said, “Every actor chooses to act for their own reasons—personally I do it because I have to. I have to perform. It’s who I am.” For as long as I’ve been performing, I’ve wondered how to best describe why I do what I do. Professor Kelly answered that question for me that day.
When I was little and first imagined what it would be like to be a real actor, I would imagine being known about by many people someday. However, I never actually wanted that. I act because no matter what is going on in my life, no matter how stressed I am with what’s happening outside of or during practices, when I’m on stage, I’m home and I’m me.
Many parents will feel worried about their children’s choosing to be an actor. Some will be surprised. My parents are just exceptions. They knew from the start that nothing was going to keep me from doing what I love.
1. What did Professor Kelly’s words make the author realize?| A．She did acting out of love. |
| B．She really had a gift for acting. |
| C．She would face many challenges. |
| D．She must work hard to learn acting. |
| A．Imagining being an actor. | B．Being onstage. |
| C．Becoming famous one day. | D．Being devoted. |
| A．Content. | B．Supportive. | C．Concerned. | D．Disappointed. |
【推荐1】The International Consumer Electronics Show CES is known as the place where many companies across the globe show their latest technology offerings. Here is a look at some of the top products presented at CES 2023.
AirSelfie camera
Electronics maker AirSelfie launched its latest self-flying camera designed to take “selfie” pictures. The new device, called Air Pix, is a small, light camera that flies through the air and takes high-quality photographs and videos. A video on the company’s website explains that Air Pix can fly, frame and take pictures all by itself before landing back on the user’s hand.
Labrador’s assistive robot
Robot maker Labrador announced the launch of its Retriever robot. The small, self-driving machine is designed to hold things and, as its name suggests, also retrieve (取回) things. The robot can be controlled by voice commands or from an app on a phone. It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a user’s home. The company says the Retriever is designed “to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home.”
Self-driving tractor
American-based farm equipment producer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor. The company says the vehicle is equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields. Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real time through a mobile device. John Deere says the concept is to help farmers do more work with fewer tools and other people.
