2 . When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first-changing your diet or becoming more physically active?

Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends (趋向) to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.

So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were 45 or older into four groups. One group was instructed in making diet and fitness changes at the same time; the second group was taught about diet changes first, and then fitness changes four months later; the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later; and the final, control group was not instructed in either diet or fitness changes but in how to manage their stress.

The researchers followed the groups for a full year. Compared to the control group, the three intervention (干预) groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year. The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.

The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If folks change diet and exercise orderly, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.

3 . If you like dangerous and exciting sports, maybe skydiving (跳伞) is for you. First skydivers jump from an airplane.     1     Sometimes, skydivers do gymnastics in the air—for example, they might hold their knees close to their bodies and turn upside down. Finally, skydivers pull a cord (绳索) and a parachute (降落伞) opens.     2     Skydivers usually wear hard helmets to protect their heads. Sometimes, skydivers are on a team in a competition such as the Olympics. The team works together and does movements in the air.     3     The team with the most points wins.

It’s difficult to see what skydivers do when you’re standing on the ground. Often, people fly in airplanes to make a tape of the skydivers.     4    

If skydiving doesn’t sound fun to you, there are plenty of other sports.     5     Surfers stand out in the middle of the ocean on a long, flat board. Surfers don’t have to worry about jumping out airplanes, of course---but don’t forget about the shark!

A．You can always try surfing.

B．Then, skydivers fall quickly toward the ground.

C．It is the best choice for you to skydive or try surfing.

D．With a video camera, the operator records their performances.

E．It is not easy to jump out of the airplane when you are in the plane.

F．Judges watch the skydivers and give them points for doing amazing things.

G．The parachute helps slow the skydiver so he or she lands on the ground safe.

4 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Life is often a matter of waiting for the right moment to act. Sun Yang was the first Chinese man     1     (win) an Olympic gold medal in swimming. That moment     2     (come) last month, when he won the men’s 200-meter freestyle event at the Asian Games.

Sun has accomplished a Golden Grand Slam, having won the 200, 400 and 1, 500-meter freestyle events at the Asian Games, World Championships and Olympic Games. His     3     (patient) and persistence have paid off. The 26-year-old swimmer told Xinhua News Agency, “Not many swimmers could have waited for eight years over three Asian Games like me. My dream has     4     (final) come true.”

While Sun stood on a podium (领奖台)     5     (listen) to the Chinese national anthem (国歌) along with the silver and bronze medal winners, a technical problem caused the medalists’ flags to drop to the ground. Sun jumped off the podium, walked over to the officials and demanded that the flags again.     6     the end, the officials held the flags up themselves as China’s national anthem played a second time.

Many Chinese Internet users thought Suns reaction to the incident to be an act of patriotism (爱国主义). “    7     is great to win the championship, but    8    (see) our national flag go up again is also very important. Winning the title is an achievement     9     will be remembered, but raising the flag again is also of great     10     (important).”
