Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy.For many of us nutrition（營養(yǎng)）and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy.But when it comes to food，what is calorie counting，and what are the positives and negatives of it？
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants，take aways，and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus.It's a strategy aimed to deal with obesity（肥胖）and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs.Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However，there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting.200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food，for example cookies，have the same caloric value.However，there is a question of the health benefits of what you're eating，regardless of calories.While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C.junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats.Likewise（同樣地），fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories-meaning，overall，you eat less.
Simply counting calories，while useful for weight loss，doesn't take into account your intake of good fats，carbohydrates，and proteins -things that your body needs.So，if you're trying to stick to a low-carbon diet，just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won't be that useful.So，always be mindful that what you're eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.

1． It's strange how one tiny zipper tooth can create such big problems—and such amazing resolutions.
It was Jo Du's wedding day in Ontario，Canada when the dress's zipperbroke.While everyone was struggling for some kind of tools，some of the guests walked next door to the house of Jo's neighbor David Hobson.
When they returned，they came bearing interesting news：David had taken in a family of Syrian refugees，the father of which was a master tailor who said he would be happy to help.With toolbox in hand，Ibrahim Dudu walked over and mended Jo's dress in front of an amazed wedding party.
The photographer，Lindsay Coulter，was there to witness the whole thing. "Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives，and today one man who has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to the help，" Lindsay wrote on Facebook. "I am so proud to live in Canada，a country who has opened our doors to refugees countless times.I respect the families who have welcomed these strangers in to their homes and lives，and I'm inspired by the adapt ability of the Syrian people.We are truly blessed."
The meeting was important since Jo and her husband Earl are both immigrants themselves.
Ibrahim and his family had only been in Canada for four days before the incident.Since none of them spoke a word of English，they had been communicating merely through Google Translate.

2．When you're super tired，you may be more likely to take a nap than grab a snack.What about mosquitoes？Scientists have long been interested in mosquito sleep cycles.
However，it's hard to study sleeping mosquitoes.That's partly because mosquitoes will get excited when they sense a meal：the experimenter.That makes it difficult for the insects to nod off.And when mosquitoes do nod off，they look rather similar to those that are just resting to save energy.
Ajayi at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues studied mosquitoes' sleep.The team focused on three species known to carry diseases.The first，Aedes aegypti，is active by day.The second，Culex pipiens，prefers to dine after dusk.The third - the malaria-carrying Anopheles stephensi - is up at night.All these mosquitoes were left alone in a room.There，the team used cameras and sensors to spy on them.Together，these observations helped the researchers spot a sleeping mosquito.
After about two hours，the mosquitoes appeared to nod off.They didn't move for a long time.And as time went on，Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti showed less response when the experimenter walked in the room.This showed that a tasty smell was less likely to wake those species when in a deep sleep.
Then the insects were placed in clear tubes that were shaken every few minutes to keep them from falling into a deep sleep.After 4 to 12 hours，the team exposed the insects to some heated sweat.That mimicked（模仿）the presence of a host on which the mosquitoes could snack.In another experiment，a human volunteer offered up a leg for mosquitoes to feed on for five minutes.
In both cases，the mosquitoes that got a full night's rest were much more likely to land on the host than sleep-deprived（剝奪） ones.In eight tests，an average of 77 percent of the well- rested mosquitoes went for a blood meal.Only 23 percent of mosquitoes that were sleepy did the same.
The findings open avenues for research into controlling mosquitoes，Ajayi says.That，in turn，could help keep people safe from mosquito-spread diseases.
（1）What adds difficulty to studying sleeping mosquitoes？
A．Mosquitoes' daily routines.
B．The smell of human beings.
C．The wide variety of mosquitoes.
D．Mosquitoes' different sleeping habits.
（2）What did Ajayi do to study mosquitoes？
A．He tracked mosquitoes' behavior.
B．He tested the mosquitoes on his leg.
C．He went over many previous studies.
D．He exposed mosquitoes to many snacks.
（3）What is the finding of the study？
A．Mosquitoes need more sleep than humans.
B．Mosquitoes never bite when lacking sleep.
C．Sleepy mosquitoes like the smell of heated sweat.
D．Sleepy mosquitoes are more likely to sleep than to eat.
（4）What is the significance of this study？
A．It can help to understand human sleep.
B．It can help to control the spread of some diseases.
C．It can help to to find out technology to mimick mosquitoes.
D．It can help to discover the differences between various mosquitoes.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:30:1組卷：2引用：4難度：0.5 -
