多餐未进食青少年晕厥
来自斯通彻斯特的报道:昨日,斯通彻斯特高中一名十几岁的女生多餐未进食后晕厥。
珍妮弗·琼斯,十五岁,曾告诉同班朋友自己感觉不适,然后她在上午的体育课上晕倒了,并被迅速送往医院。
医生发现珍妮弗的血糖已经低到了很危险的程度,于是马上对其进行治疗。珍妮弗的父母忧心忡忡,他们告诉医生,他们的女儿当天早晨未进食,前一天的晚餐也几乎丝毫未动。幸运的是,现在珍妮弗已经脱离了危险。她的医生说她会在一两天内完全康复。
珍妮弗的同学希望她能很快返回学校。他们说,珍妮弗和吃饭问题较劲已经很久了。 “珍妮弗以为不吃饭就可以轻松减到她的目标体重。”她的朋友劳拉·威廉姆斯告诉记者,“最近几个月,她一直不吃早餐。她曾对我说,她上课很难集中注意力。我告诫过她,不吃饭有害健康,可她不听。”
珍妮弗的例子提醒人们,青少年男女中普遍存在的不健康的减肥习惯具有危险性。在一个往往以瘦为美的社会里,青少年有时会借助极端的方法来快速减肥。近期一项针对高中生生活方式的调查表明,近五分之一的青少年经常性地不吃饭,十分之一的青少年运动过度,百分之四的青少年甚至服用减肥药。健康专家对这些数字表示担忧。他们正加大力度向青少年普及有关快速减肥引起的不良反应,并告诫青少年不要采取类似的极端方式。
“这些所谓的‘速效法’被证明对青少年有害。青少年轻微超重是正常现象,没有理由为此焦虑。不过,对于那些超重到达到危险程度的人来说,设法以适当方式减重是十分重要的。”一位专家表示。
她指出,健康均衡的饮食十分重要,因为青少年正在发育,需要大量营养来维持正常的身体机能。如果食物摄入不足,青少年可能会感觉体虚乏力,容易生病。她补充说:“更重要的是,他们应该作息规律,多做运动,以保持精力充沛、身体健康。我们强烈鼓励所有青少年遵从这些生活方式的建议,因为好好生活是最安全、最有效的强身健体的方式。”

Beauty is only skin-deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century. Whether male or female people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating a preference for marriage partners, in securing a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.
From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate(欣赏) their own outer appearance as well as that of others. This has its basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio shows. So, the pure physical perfection in the build of a male happens when the shoulder-to-waist ratio of a man is equal to 1.618, the golden ratio. Bodybuilders thus train to get a perfect figure for males. Likewise, women try to have an hourglass figure, through whatever ways, whether by dieting and exercising, or through make-up or plastic surgery.
However, is beauty an objective feature or a subjective one considered through the “eye of the beholder”? Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains that cultural evaluations of beauty differ greatly.
Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”. As long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of the aesthetic and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Beauty is measurable.
B.People are increasingly worried about appearance.
C.Good-looking people are perfect marriage partners.
D.Physical appearance is important throughout history.
2.What does the author want to show by mentioning the golden ratio?
A.Many living things in nature are perfect.
B.People are born to appreciate appearance.
C.Men try different ways to build up strength.
D.Women get into shape by dieting and exercising.
3.Which of the following statements does the author probably agree with?
A.We can judge a book by its cover.
B.Evaluations of beauty are unchangeable.
C.Beauty standards are closely related to culture.
D.A beautiful face excuses someone from punishment.
4.What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A.Beauty can be found in different aesthetic standards.
B.Different aspects of our life are affected by the aesthetic.
C.Human beings have the right to create beauty.
D.Poems have the power to express beauty.

多餐未进食青少年晕厥
来自斯通彻斯特的报道:昨日,斯通彻斯特高中一名十几岁的女生多餐未进食后晕厥。
珍妮弗·琼斯,十五岁,曾告诉同班朋友自己感觉不适,然后她在上午的体育课上晕倒了,并被迅速送往医院。
医生发现珍妮弗的血糖已经低到了很危险的程度,于是马上对其进行治疗。珍妮弗的父母忧心忡忡,他们告诉医生,他们的女儿当天早晨未进食,前一天的晚餐也几乎丝毫未动。幸运的是,现在珍妮弗已经脱离了危险。她的医生说她会在一两天内完全康复。
珍妮弗的同学希望她能很快返回学校。他们说,珍妮弗和吃饭问题较劲已经很久了。 “珍妮弗以为不吃饭就可以轻松减到她的目标体重。”她的朋友劳拉·威廉姆斯告诉记者,“最近几个月,她一直不吃早餐。她曾对我说,她上课很难集中注意力。我告诫过她,不吃饭有害健康,可她不听。”
珍妮弗的例子提醒人们,青少年男女中普遍存在的不健康的减肥习惯具有危险性。在一个往往以瘦为美的社会里,青少年有时会借助极端的方法来快速减肥。近期一项针对高中生生活方式的调查表明,近五分之一的青少年经常性地不吃饭,十分之一的青少年运动过度,百分之四的青少年甚至服用减肥药。健康专家对这些数字表示担忧。他们正加大力度向青少年普及有关快速减肥引起的不良反应,并告诫青少年不要采取类似的极端方式。
“这些所谓的‘速效法’被证明对青少年有害。青少年轻微超重是正常现象,没有理由为此焦虑。不过,对于那些超重到达到危险程度的人来说,设法以适当方式减重是十分重要的。”一位专家表示。
她指出,健康均衡的饮食十分重要,因为青少年正在发育,需要大量营养来维持正常的身体机能。如果食物摄入不足,青少年可能会感觉体虚乏力,容易生病。她补充说:“更重要的是,他们应该作息规律,多做运动,以保持精力充沛、身体健康。我们强烈鼓励所有青少年遵从这些生活方式的建议,因为好好生活是最安全、最有效的强身健体的方式。”

Beauty is only skin-deep, but the measure of beauty is something that has worried humans for a very long time, and this is still a hot topic well into the 21st century. Whether male or female people since ancient times have experienced judgement being passed by others based on their appearance, whether in stating a preference for marriage partners, in securing a job, or even in offering assistance to a stranger.
From a biological angle, human beings are able to appreciate(欣赏) their own outer appearance as well as that of others. This has its basis in the physical world around us, where many living things found in nature are closely linked to the perfection that the golden ratio shows. So, the pure physical perfection in the build of a male happens when the shoulder-to-waist ratio of a man is equal to 1.618, the golden ratio. Bodybuilders thus train to get a perfect figure for males. Likewise, women try to have an hourglass figure, through whatever ways, whether by dieting and exercising, or through make-up or plastic surgery.
However, is beauty an objective feature or a subjective one considered through the “eye of the beholder”? Research carried out worldwide on beauty shows that the way people view beauty differs across time and culture. Hardly any common features exist across all cultures. This completely explains that cultural evaluations of beauty differ greatly.
Indeed, to borrow the words of the great poet, John Keats, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”. As long as we, as a human race, have the power to recognize and appreciate different forms of beauty in our fellow human beings, we will continue to increase our awareness of the aesthetic and find a reason to admire and value the different aspects of beauty which make each of us uniquely beautiful.
