The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? 1. And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.

Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. 2. Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?

Get real. 3. Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.

4. To maintain your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.

Weigh yourself weekly. It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture. 5.

A. Stay balanced.

B. Once a week is fine.

C. Stick with your healthy eating plan.

D. Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.

E. Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.

F. Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.

G. If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.

Money matters, no matter who or where you are. So when China’s currency the yuan was devalued (貶值) against the US dollar for three straight days in mid-August, the world felt the effects. As CNN put it: “If China sneezes, the world catches a cold.”

Why does it matter so much?

The exchange rate is the term for the comparison of two currencies. It says how much one currency is worth in terms of (換算) the other.

“Exchange rates play an important role in a country’s level of trade. It is one of the most important determinants (決定因素) of a country’s relative level of economic health,” wrote Jason Van Bergen of Forbes.com. A higher currency makes a country’s exports more expensive and imports cheaper, and vice versa (反之亦然).

Devaluation means the same amount of RMB can be exchanged for fewer USD. For example, on Aug 11, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was 6.23, which meant $1 was worth the same as 6.23 yuan. Two days later, the rate changed to 6.4, meaning the value of RMB had dropped by 2.7 percent.

So what does a weaker currency mean for our lives?

It first affects those who want to travel to, or study in, the US. If your former classmate is leaving for a preparatory (預(yù)科) school in the US at the end of August, it now costs about 1,800 yuan more to exchange currency for 10,000 US dollars than it did earlier this month. However, since many currencies have decreased in value, the value of yuan is still relatively high despite the recent devaluation. This means it costs 1,200 yuan less to get 10,000 Canadian dollars now than it did in March.

Even if we don’t have plans to travel abroad, though, we could still be affected. For example, your mother will have to pay more if she buys directly from overseas websites with US dollars. And chances are that imported chocolate and potato chips will soon be a bit more expensive in your local supermarket.

However, the weaker yuan is good news for Chinese exporters. It makes Chinese exports less expensive and it could boost the overseas sales that have been among the main reasons for China’s economic growth during its rise over the past 30 years.

Just as Erik Britton of Fathom, a London-based economic consulting firm, told The Guardian: “We’re all going to feel it: we’ll feel it through commodities (商品), not just from China but from everywhere that has to compete with it; and we’ll feel it through wages.”

“The devalued yuan will force China’s Asian rivals (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手), such as Indonesia and South Korea, to compete even harder,” wrote Heather Stewart, economics editor of The Guardian. “The result may be cheaper Christmas presents.”

1.According to the passage, it can be learned from the passage EXCEPT___________

A. The higher China’s currency is , the less expensive potato chips from America become.

B. In March people spent 1,200 yuan more to get 10,000 Canadian dollars than they do today because Canadian dollars increased in value.

C. China’s currency’s devaluation against the US dollar in mid-August makes students studying in America pay more school fees.

D. People who work in Fathom will be greatly affected on account of the weaker yuan.

2.The passage implies that ___________.

A. The yuan’s devaluation contributes a lot to China’s economic growth .

B.Exchange rates are the most important factor determining a country’s relative level of economic health

C. The yuan’s devaluation has a great impact on all the countries in the world.

D.Chinese exports sell well overseas because of their high quality

3.If the exchange rate of RMB to USD increased from 6.5 to 6.7, how much more percent would you pay when you bought a bag worth $100?

A. 2.7 B. 5.4 C.20.0 D. 3.1

See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.
You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin(樹(shù)脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20，000, while now they cost only about ￡1，000, according to the BBC.
Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?

1.According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.
A. enable people to make better purchases online

B. change the way we make many products
C. be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online

2.What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?
A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.
B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.

3.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Great Demand for 3D Printers B. Technology in the Future
C. Online Shopping Disappearing D. Printing out Everything

4.How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing the cause and effect.

D. By presenting research findings.

Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.

During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.（干草棚） It was a hot, low paying job.

He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.

He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber（廢舊家具）yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.

From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.

What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2?year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4?year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.

1.How many jobs had Peter taken?

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

2.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.

A. They were done during his vacation

B. They were dull and tiresome

C. They needed hard labour

D. They didn’t pay well

3.________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.

A. Confidence B. Education C. Opportunity D. Wisdom

4.We can learn from the text that________.

A. Peter knew what to do for his future

B. Peter’s father didn’t care about him

C. it was very hard for Peter to make his choices

D. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked

Ask a question! Email it to Letters@Highlights.com.

Gift Giving

I'm going to China and everyone in my class is asking me to buy them something. What should I do?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

Your classmates are probably just excited about your trip. Most likely they don't expect you to buy gifts for everyone. Sending a few postcards to the entire class during your trip would be a wonderful way to share your experiences. The pictures on the cards and your words of description will be the best gift of all.

Dog Begging

My dog always begs for food at the dinner table. I really want to feed him, but my mom says I can't. I'm afraid he won't like me anymore. What should I do?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

Your dog loves you for many more reasons than just for what you feed him. You can show him that you care about him by playing with him, by petting him and speaking kindly to him and by making sure he has fresh water. It might be best if your dog is not near the dinner table while you are eating. You could teach him to stay in another room.

Being Bilingual(會(huì)說(shuō)雙語(yǔ)的)

My aunt insists that we speak our language(Tagalog) at home and English outside the house. Do you think she is right?

Reply from the Highlights Editor:

It is a great gift to have someone in your family who is willing to take the time to teach you another language. It's a good way to keep family traditions alive, and it helps develop your language skills. Your ability to use both English and Tagalog will help you learn a third and fourth language later in life. So it sounds like a great idea!

A. send postcards as the gifts to the class
