Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A year ago,we bought our son a bike for his birthday.In this way he could stay more active.Besides,we didn't have to push a tricycle (三轮车) around the neighborhood.
I thought he even wanted to sleep with his bike.He got on,rode,and had a huge smile on his face.When we went out for a walk,he would ask me politely if he could ride his bike.I said yes.Then he would play for a long time and didn't want to go home.He rode all the year round,regardless of the season.
This year,we had him join in a program called SprocKids started by our local mountain bike club.On the first night,he tried riding over the obstacles (障碍),which made me worried and frightened.One obstacle was even taller than me,but he didn't give up.
Later,one day,he found an old bike in the storeroom.It was mine.He called me out and said,“Mommy,will you go biking with me?” I was surprised because I hadn't biked since high school,but I decided to go cycling with him.
I was highly awarded for my efforts.For one thing,I took part in an activity with my child.For another,we developed a closer bond.
In my opinion,it's important for kids to stay active.And parents' encouragement is very important for them to stay active.But words of encouragement are not enough.It's better if parents can do physical activities together with their kids.

I know what you're thinking:pizza?For breakfast?But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the morning if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast,and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it.Some say they don't have time,others think they're “saving” calories (卡路里),and still others just don't like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight.“Eating just about anything from 300 to 1,000 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking,R.D., who developed the supereasy eating plan for this year's “SELFCHALLENGE”.And even pizza can be healthy if it's loaded with vegetables,and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss,and the same goes for most weight loss success stories.Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day.Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning,anything.I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether,and have just coffee or orange juice.I say,try healing tip last night's leftovers—it may sound crazy,but if it works for you,do it!I find if I tell myself,“You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night.Try it...you may save yourself some prebedtime calories.And watch your body gain the fatburning effects.
