2、 latest diet trend in America is also an ancient human activity. The activity is fasting, or not eating food for a set amount of time.Social media apps and Facebook groups are appearing for people who do “intermittent fasting,” or fasting on a part-time basis. Like other diets, intermittent fasting
3、helps you lose weight by setting limits on eating. But instead of limiting what you eat, it limits when you eat.Melissa Breaux Bankston is a Crossfit instructor in New Orleans, Louisiana. She tried intermittent fasting as a way to reduce her snacking. “I wanted to limit the amount of time that I was
4、 eating,” she said.However, for now, limited research suggests it may not be any better for weight loss than reducing calorie intake over the long term.“Its really another way of fooling your body into eating less calories,” said Krista Varady, who studies intermittent fasting at the University of I
5、llinois at Chicago.Courtney Peterson, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, also studies intermittent fasting. She suggested the benefits of intermittent fasting are not as great as some might suggest. “Unfortunately, intermittent fasting gets a little hyped,” she said.Some health experts say
6、intermittent fasting might be too difficult for many people. They point to a study of 100 people where those placed in a fasting group lost about the same amount of weight as those on diets that restricted calories. The fasting group had a dropout rate of 38 percent, compared with 29 percent for the
7、 caloric-restriction diet group.But intermittent fasting may be easier for people who already skip meals when they are too busy, said Varady. People interested in intermittent fasting should talk to their doctor before trying it. Health experts do not recommend intermittent fasting for children, peo

10、intermittent fasting.BIt began as a game: High school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer talents soon gained the name hackers.Poli
11、ce arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One of them was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later he used a phone to change a police officers credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. He also used a computer to change his college recor
12、ds to give himself better grades.As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one case a hacker instructed an airline s computer to give him free airplane tickets.The U.S. government is worried that hackers may break into its networks of def
13、ense computers. The governments secrets are easily attacked because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can get into.In November 1988, a college student entered a U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer progr
14、am that made copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use viruses to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the
15、 computers. The hacker turned himself in to the police and he was charged with a crime.The incident put the spotlight on computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect
16、their computers.The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers.Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most outstanding minds in the U.S. will be working to f

20、ment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your students are trapped in a “he said/she said” battle. When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distanci
21、ng”，the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.But what might self
22、-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings. One is thinking，“I cant believe he did that to me.” And another insists,“She really hurt my feelings.” However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, the
23、y might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?” Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, fe
24、el, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try. First，consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as
25、 challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate, concrete circumstances.8. What is self-distancing?A. Getting
26、 stuck in negative emotions. B. A stressful situation.C. A study on relieving emotional stress. D. Reflecting on yourself objectively.9. Paragraph 2 is developed by .A. example B. definitionC. classification D. process10. Which of the following statement uses the techniques of self-distancing? A. Im

28、ionD. Ways to Reflect on Emotional ReactionsDPangolins ( 穿山甲) are the most trafficked ( 非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action
29、and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animals habitats.Over two years, the
30、documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but gre
31、w to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, bu
32、t they all prefer a specific type ant.Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat,the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for acti
