In fact, in some places, the sun doesn’t rise at all. Here are four places to view this wonderful night show. Fairbanks, Alaska The city lies directly below the activity, so it is a perfect place to view the lights. The shining lights are most commonly seen between 11 pm and 2 am, so don’t forget to set your alarm clock. You can enjoy a stay in a comfortable hotel, which is famous for its hot spring pools and enjoy the show while relaxing in the hot water. Reykjavík, Iceland If you visit Iceland, you can expect to experience the northern lights shining above. There is little light pollution in Iceland, so you can view the lights in Reykjavík, but it is recommended that you take a special tour outside of the city. A winter vacation in Iceland has so much to offer. Yukon Territory, Canada This distant area of Canada has many spots to view the northern lights shining in the night sky.

But by making a few wise dietary choices, you might be able to bring down or stabilize your blood sugar. Porridge Consistently eating foods that are high in fat, low in fibre and with a high GI [glycaemic index (血糖指数)] can increase your diabetes risk. Oats are a low-fibre, low GI food — meaning they don’t cause sudden rises and drops in blood sugar — and contain healthy fats. Adding milk to your porridge increases the fat content, so choose skimmed (脱脂的) or soya milk. Blueberries Most fresh fruits have low GI scores, though levels go up as they ripen. Especially good if you’re hoping to avoid type 2 diabetes are blueberries, grapes and apples. These were associated with a lower risk of developing the condition in a 2023 American study, with blueberries coming out top of the table. Aim for three servings a week of these diabetes-friendly fruits — on your porridge perhaps. Overall, a diet high in fruits and vegetables is a must if you are committed to controlling blood sugar. Yogurt But, hang on, yogurt is a high-fat dairy product and to be avoided, right? Not necessarily. It’s high in fat, but a 2023 American study indicates it can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Plain yogurt has a low GI score. Choose the unflavoured, unsweetened variety or Greek yogurt over more sugary flavoured or sweetened yogurt. For more weekly health tips and stories, sign up for our newsletter at readersdigest.co.us. 1．What is the feature of foods that are low fibre and low GI? A．Containing as much fat as possible. B．Covering sugar-free fruits and vegetables. C．Keeping the overall balance of blood sugar. D．Helping blood pressure stay stable. 2．Which is the best fruit if you want to have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes? A．Apples. B．Grapes. C．Blueberries. D．Strawberries. 3．Which statement is true about yogurt? A．Greek yogurt has a low GI score. B．It can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. C．Flavoured and sugary yogurt is the best choice. D．It’s low in fat and helpful for diabetic patients. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些能够降低或稳定血糖的食物。 1．细节理解题。根据Porridge中“Oats are a low-fibre, low GI food — meaning they don’t cause sudden rises and drops in blood sugar — and contain healthy fats. (燕麦是一种低纤维、低血糖指数的食物，这意味着它们不会引起血糖的突然上升和下降，并且含有健康的脂肪)”可知，低纤维和低血糖指数食物的特点是它们可以保持血糖的整体平衡，避免引起血糖的突升或突降。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据Blueberries中“Especially good if you’re hoping to avoid type 2 diabetes are blueberries, grapes and apples. These were associated with a lower risk of developing the condition in a 2023 American study, with blueberries coming out top of the table. (如果你希望避免2型糖尿病，蓝莓、葡萄和苹果尤其好。在2023年美国的一项研究中，这些食物与患这种疾病的风险较低有关，其中蓝莓排名第一)”可知，如果想降低患2型糖尿病的风险，蓝莓是最好的水果。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据Yogurt中第一段“Plain yogurt has a low GI score. Choose the unflavoured, unsweetened variety or Greek yogurt over more sugary flavoured or sweetened yogurt. (纯酸奶的血糖指数很低。选择原味、不加糖的酸奶或希腊酸奶，而不是含糖或加糖的酸奶)”可知，希腊酸奶的血糖指数很低。故选A项。 （23-24高一下·青海·期中）Discover Xiamen’s Four Must-Visit Attractions Join us on a fascinating trip through Xiamen’s beauty and culture as we visit four famous places like Gulangyu Island and Nanputuo Temple, each showcasing the city’s rich history andscenic charm.

But by making a few wise dietary choices, you might be able to bring down or stabilize your blood sugar. Porridge Consistently eating foods that are high in fat, low in fibre and with a high GI [glycaemic index (血糖指数)] can increase your diabetes risk. Oats are a low-fibre, low GI food — meaning they don’t cause sudden rises and drops in blood sugar — and contain healthy fats. Adding milk to your porridge increases the fat content, so choose skimmed (脱脂的) or soya milk. Blueberries Most fresh fruits have low GI scores, though levels go up as they ripen. Especially good if you’re hoping to avoid type 2 diabetes are blueberries, grapes and apples. These were associated with a lower risk of developing the condition in a 2023 American study, with blueberries coming out top of the table. Aim for three servings a week of these diabetes-friendly fruits — on your porridge perhaps. Overall, a diet high in fruits and vegetables is a must if you are committed to controlling blood sugar. Yogurt But, hang on, yogurt is a high-fat dairy product and to be avoided, right? Not necessarily. It’s high in fat, but a 2023 American study indicates it can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Plain yogurt has a low GI score. Choose the unflavoured, unsweetened variety or Greek yogurt over more sugary flavoured or sweetened yogurt. For more weekly health tips and stories, sign up for our newsletter at readersdigest.co.us. 1．What is the feature of foods that are low fibre and low GI? A．Containing as much fat as possible. B．Covering sugar-free fruits and vegetables. C．Keeping the overall balance of blood sugar.

D．Strawberries. 3．Which statement is true about yogurt? A．Greek yogurt has a low GI score. B．It can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. C．Flavoured and sugary yogurt is the best choice.
