Passage Three Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Are you diligently exercising but seeing no results around your midsection (上腹部)? It’s not just you. Two new studies may explain why many people who begin exercise programs often lose little to no weight in the long run. In the first study, published in the online science journal PLoS One, researchers compared the daily energy consumption of Westerners and the Hadza, a population of hunter-gatherers living in northern Tanzania. Many believe modern Westerners burn fewer calories than in the past because their lives have become more sedentary (久坐的). The Hadza, who are generally very lean, hunt and look for food without modern tools such as vehicles or guns. Men walk about seven miles each day, while women walk about half that. What was surprising was that although the Hadza seem to be more active, the researchers found little difference in calories burned between the Hadza and the Westerners. The second study, published in Obesity Reviews, analyzed the effect of exercise interventions on body composition. The researchers found that – contrary to popular belief – when people exercise but keep their energy intake constant, their resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate actually goes down. Exercisers who ate more calories than they usually do did burn more fat than predicted, but some overate and negated the effects of their hard work. These studies suggest two things: exercise programs may not lead to as much calorie burn as you would think, and many people start eating more when they exercise, and they may eat too much. Bottom line, if you start exercising to lose weight, you won’t succeed with the mentality of “I can eat anything because I’ll burn it off later”. You will have better results if you choose a healthy diet of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats while exercising. Although these two studies show that diet may be more important than exercise for weight loss, don’t discount the other benefits of exercise, including decreased stress and anxiety, improved mood and reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, diabetes (糖尿病) and some cancers. 21.

Section A Skimming and Scanning Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Non-Verbal Communication Really Matters in Our Daily Work A) There are many well-recognized forms of communicating without words, and even when the main intentional messages are through spoken or written language they are always transmitted or received in non-verbal contexts which may help or hinder the recipient (接受者) in receiving exactly the message the sender intended. Whether or not the two participants communicate effectively depends just as much on their sharing an understanding of the non-verbal signs as on their having a common vocabulary of words. B) The kinds of non-verbal signs we easily recognize are facial expressions, gestures, body postures, and variations in pitch and tone of voice. Actors are skilled in the strict control of these. They are supported by costumes, stage set, furniture, lighting and so on, but the audience must already have learnt to interpret the whole, as any who have attended a Japanese opera will agree. Doctors, like actors, deliberately use many non-verbal signs such as dress. With the transition from preclinical to clinical stage, medical students tend to adopt smooth, dark suits along with the stethoscope (听诊器). A doctor is usually sensitive to the different meanings of receiving patients sitting or standing, of getting up to shake hands or to show them to the door, and of his touch being rude or gentle, and realizes that an anxious mother will more readily hear doom in his pronouncements than will a self-confident one. C) But the doctor-parent relationship is also influenced by rather less well recognized non-verbal cues - the spatial (空间) distance between them, for instance, real or symbolic, and the way in which furniture affects this. Some of these non-verbal factors, which we might learn to control better, are well illustrated by a story that the wife of a colleague told me in a recent visit to hospital. She herself had been trained as a nurse and was by no means unsophisticated in medical ways. She was nevertheless frightened and discouraged more than was necessary, and almost certainly more than the doctor intended, by the non-verbal factors that permeated (渗透,弥漫) the whole climate of the clinical interview. The furniture was arranged so that she sat immediately opposite him at the table. It is well known that conversation takes place more easily when people sit across the corner of a table than opposite each other. Ultimately a round table was agreed upon. D) The importance of furniture in establishing dominance, or making clear what differences of status exist between people who come together to converse, is well illustrated by a court of law. Here the judge sits in a special chair, well above the rest of the people, and has his own door in and out of the court, so that he does not need to mix with the other members, thus stressing his aloofness (置身事外) and authority. This matter of exits and entrances may seem very slight, but sometimes it acquires great importance. E) Returning to my colleague's wife, another non-verbal indication of the patient's lower status was the presence of a row of medical students sitting beside the consultant; this emphasized that she was there not only for herself but as an object on which to teach. She would be questioned and interrupted but would not do so herself. F) What upset her most, however, was that the doctor, sitting at his table and bending over her notes, questioned her without ever raising his head to look into her face. Now perception (感知) of the human face, and especially mutual eye-to-eye contact, is of enormous importance in communication. It begins very early with feeding; a mother tends automatically to look at the baby, and the baby automatically to look at her face, as he takes the nipple into his mouth. Normal babies prefer to look at a picture of a human face rather than any other target. In contrast, autistic (患自闭症的) children, given the choice, prefer to look at animal faces, and enjoy playing with environmental stimuli such as door knobs or electrical switches more than normal children; in social situations their gestures are normal, except that they tend to lower their heads, avoiding their gaze, so that they do not engage in eye-to-eye contact - just as the doctor did in the interview described above. G) The feeling that face-to-face contact is necessary in understanding the person one is talking to is well accepted, but rather less so is the fact that one feels that one is better understood if the other person is or seems to be looking at one. H) My informant's account shows many ways in which the doctor's non-verbal communications isolated him from the patient. Distance between doctor and patient, real or symbolic, spatial or psychological, may be helpful in some cases; but modern doctoring more and more requires cooperation. The witch-doctor is maybe the more powerful for being kept apart, spatially, by dress, habits and reputation; he commands the magic which he uses on behalf of the patient. But in modem medicine the patient has to do a great deal of the curing himself, especially in the area of preventive medicine. Many more subtle clues which convey to the patient that his way to health is through domination rather than self-reliance linger on in the ordinary clinical interview. In many cases, because the doctor is not aware of their power, the symbols are working against him, and not for him. It is very important that the spatial arrangements between doctor and patient, the furniture, equipment and building should all express cooperation and participation rather than domination. 1. The signs of non-verbal communication include facial expressions, gestures, postures, changes in pitch and tone of voice.
