第一节[2025保山期中]
If we need to select a key expression for recent years, “weight management” could be the most popular one. Designed to encourage healthy living habits among staff workers, a “millionyuan weight loss” activity started by Shenzhenbased technology company Insta360 has attracted public attention. The company is offering all employees who register 500 yuan in cash for every half kilogram they lose.
This year, a post2000s employee surnamed Xie signed up for the activity and lost 20 kilograms in just 90 days, earning 20,000 yuan in cash and winning the title of “weightloss champion”. Xie said that during the competition she strictly controlled her diet and exercised for an hour and a half every day, finally achieving an amazing change.
When asked how she stayed determined and whether she had considered giving up, she smiled and said, “I think now is the best time in my life to become the best I can be—not just for beauty, but also for health.” She also shared actor Qin Hao's weightloss method in the company group chat to encourage colleagues caught in a stop with their weight loss.
Since the event began, the company's “millionyuan weight loss” challenge has been held for seven rounds, awarding about 2 million yuan in total prizes. Over the past year, 99 employees have taken part, losing a total of 950 kilograms and sharing 1 million yuan in cash rewards. “We hope the ‘millionyuan weight loss’ challenge promotes healthy living habits and encourages employees to pay more attention to their health outside of work. It's also a way to inspire everyone to face work and life with a positive attitude,” the event organizer said.
The challenge also includes a “betting” rule—participants who regain weight must pay 800 yuan for each half kilogram gained. So far, no one has regained weight and been penalized,_Nanfang Daily reported.

第二节[2026临沂期末]
How to wake up with more energy
Have you experienced struggling to get out of bed in the morning and then feeling tired all day?
There are plenty of practical steps you can take to have better energy in the morning. The key to more energy is creating micro habits throughout the day.__1__. Here's what to do …
__2__
Having a regular sleep style sets your internal body clock. If you go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even at weekends, you'll find it easier to fall asleep at night and easier to wake up in the morning.
Get outside for 20 minutes as soon as possible
Viewing morning sunlight is in the top five of all actions that support mental health, physical health and performance. __3__. Even on cloudy days, there's enough light to cause the effects, but you'll need to spend more time outside. You'll feel less tired after light exposure.
Do a twominute burst of movement when you get up
__4__. It doesn't have to be much. A few sun greetings or a dance to the radio while you make your coffee, or a quick walk after you've drunk it will wake you up. This mild and brief form of exercise is often enough to keep the mind sharp and improve memory function throughout the day.
Have a handful of blueberries
Research has shown that eating blueberries can improve concentration and memory. A blueberry smoothie for breakfast, or even a handful on your porridge, can help to wake you up. __5__.
A. Keep a regular sleep schedule
B. Take a 90second cold shower
C. It can work for five hours after eating them
D. At the very least look out of an open window

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
六、 选做拔高题[2025扬州树人高级中学月考]
Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing.
For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That's equal to one can of soda—not exactly a great return on your investment(投入) of time and effort. It's much easier just to skip the soda.
When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising produced no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the dietandexercise combination showed an advance, but it was slight—about 4 pounds on average.
In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate(弥补) by boosting(推动) desire for food and slowing down metabolism(新陈代谢), which over time limit how many pounds we lose.
When exercise fails to meet our weightloss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment—a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I'll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of selfpunishment for being “bad”. In this case, we're unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we're more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our wellbeing rather than our weight.
( ) 1. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Necessary. B. Useless.
C. Basic. D. Painful.
( ) 2. Compared with dieting alone, what can we learn about the combination of dieting and exercising?
A. It's less effective than dieting alone.
B. It's much more useful within six months.
C. It shows little advantage after six months.
D. It displays an impressive advantage after a year.
( ) 3. Why does the body's compensation mechanism affect weight loss?
A. It increases food desire and slows down metabolism.
B. It makes people burn more calories during exercise.
C. It helps people do more exercise to lose weight.
D. It makes people pay more attention to their wellbeing.
( ) 4. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Exercise is not useful at all for people to lose weight.
B. Dieting is the only effective way to lose weight.
C. The body's metabolism plays a key role in weight loss.
D. Focusing on wellbeing rather than weight helps people keep exercising.
