If you are trying to lose weight (体重), climbing stairs (楼梯) might be for you.
People can find stairs 1 in many places. And a research shows that stair-climbing is 2 than walking on the ground.
“It’s a fact that stair-climbing makes you 3 and burns (燃烧) more calories (卡路里),” said Lauri, a member of a running group. The group also does research on a number of activities 4 climbing.
“Many people may wonder how many calories 5 will burn,” Lauri said, “In fact, your weight decides how many calories you will burn in the 6 . That means the more you 7 , the more you burn.”
The research also shows you burn 20 times more calories when you climb stairs than walking on the 8 . Even 9 stairs, you burn about 5 times more. This is because your body has to 10 to slow yourself.
Dr. Albert Miller, from the University of Milan, has also done 11 on this exercise. He said that it’s an exercise everyone can do and it does not 12 money.
Miller did the math to 13 why climbing stairs is much better. “To move one 14 of body weight over one meter on the ground, you burn 0.5 calories,” he said. But he added, “It’s about 10 calories if you move one kilo of body weight on stairs, 15 it’s 20 times the calories climbing stairs than walking on the ground.

三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A family of eight beavers (河狸) in the Czech Republic surprised the world by building a dam (堤坝) in just two days. The government had planned to build it in 2018 but never started. Their work saved taxpayers (纳税人) around $1.2 million.
But if you know anything about beavers, you may not find the news surprising. Beavers are known as top builders of nature. They use their strong teeth to cut down branches and build dams. They also use grass, rocks and mud to strengthen them. The animals seem to be born with the ability to build. Even young beavers help with the work. But why do they build dams?
Beavers do this to stay safe. With fat bodies and short legs, beavers walk slowly. On land, they’re very easy to become meals of predators like bears and wolves. But in the water, beavers are nearly unbeatable. They are great swimmers and can hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes. By building a dam, they create a deep pond, and that pond is their safety zone.
Beaver ponds aren’t just warm, comfortable and safe homes for these animals themselves. Beaver dams benefit the environment, too. The food and water in these wetlands can support a large number of animals and plants. In rainy seasons, the dams store water to stop floods. In dry seasons, the stored water helps keep rivers alive. Scientists found that these wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in carbon dioxide.
All this doesn’t mean beavers are perfect neighbours. Their dams sometimes flood roads and farms. And their tree-chewing habits can bring trouble to homeowners. But instead of driving them away, humans are now finding ways to live peacefully with these smart builders.
1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.Where the government chose to build the dam. B.Why the plan to build the dam didn’t start.
C.How many beavers built the dam in two days. D.When the beavers finished building the dam.
2.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Dams. B.Roads. C.Branches. D.Ponds.
3.Why do beavers build dams according to the article?
A.To provide meals for bears and wolves. B.To protect themselves from danger.
C.To save money for the government. D.To help slow down climate change.
4.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Beavers are in danger on land. B.Beavers are facing challenges.
C.Beaver dams are helpful to nature. D.Beavers bring problems to people.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Happy Life of B.A Free Way to Build Dams
C.People’s Perfect Neighbors D.Nature’s Smart Builders
