3 . The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds?     1     And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.

Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can.     2     Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the programme include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?

Get real.     3     Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.

    4     To maintain your weight, you must keep a balance between your intake of calories and the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.

6 . “Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it doesn’t save money,”reported researchers. “ It was a small surprise, for it is against the common belief,” said Pieter van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then your costs of the health system will be more.”

The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, fat people had the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and fat people about 80 years. Smokers and fat people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore, in the long run, the thin and healthy group spent about $417,000, from age 20 on. Smokers spent about $ 326,000 and fat people $371,000.

“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If we’re going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.

“The benefit of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrow’s budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a higher chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.

“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don’t survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimer’s(早年性痴呆症) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Baal said.” But they should do it for the right reasons.”

9 . NEW YORK—President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend immigration to the Unit States for 60 days to stop those applying for permanent residency from taking American job has drawn criticism from immigration supporters who brand it a “distraction” amid the coronavirus pandemic(流行病).

“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” the president tweeted Monday night. Trump said he signed the executive order Wednesday. “This would ensure that unemployed Americans of all backgrounds will be first in line for jobs as our economy opens,” Trump said at Wednesday night’s coronavirus news briefing.

The president had initially wanted to suspend all immigration to the US to stop the spread of OVID-19 and “protect American jobs”, as 22 million have filed(申请) for unemployment. But on Tuesday he said his executive order would affect only some family members of US citizens seeking green cards (permanent residency IDs) and foreign workers who want to move to America.” It would be wrong and unjust for Americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant labor flow in from abroad.” Trump said at the briefing.

The executive order won’t bar(禁止) immigrants already living in America seeking green cards, or the 85,000 workers a year given H-1B visas nor seasonal farm workers. It also will not stop people using temporary visas for work or travel.

“The Trump administration is again seeking to distract Americans from their own failures to secure testing, provide basic protections for all workers, and create a healthcare system that works for us all,” Bitta Mostofi, commissioner of the New York Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, told China Daily. He also said, “Among the l million essential workers in New York City working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic—delivery worker, EMS staff, drivers, healthcare personnel, and more—half are immigrant.”

Former US secretary of state John Kerry told CNN that the immigration order was “a sideshow, an effort to divert people’s attention”.

At least 6 million US healthcare workers were born abroad, including 29 percent of all doctors, 38 percent of home health aides(助力) and 23 percent of retail store pharmacists(药剂师), according to the Migration Policy Institute.

1. Why did Trump sign the executive order according to Para. 2?

A．To improve the welfare of American people.

B．To reduce employment pressure in America.

C．To promote America’s economic development.

D．To avoid American population rising so quickly.

2. What can we infer from Bitta Mostofi’s words in Para. 5?

A．Immigration to America should be limited to give local Americans more job chances.

B．The Trump administration is trying its best to secure testing to deal with the virus.

C．Immigrants play an important role in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.

D．The Trump administration has created an effective healthcare system.

3. What does the underlined words “divert people’s attention” in Para. 6 mean?

A．Ignore people’s attention

B．Control people’s attention

C．Focus on people’s attention

D．Take people’s attention away.

4. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the news report?

A．US immigration suspension draws criticism.

B．US stops those applying for permanent residency.

C．US takes measures to stop spread of COVID-19.

D．US healthcare workers who were born abroad.
