Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American．

When he died in l931，Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him．

Some villagers were going to celebrate an important wine festival(酒宴)in a few days’time，So they borrowed a huge barrel from the nearest town，put it in the village square, and decided that each of them should empty a bottle of the best wine he had into it，so that there should be plenty at the feast(宴会)．

One of the villagers thought he would be very clever．“If I pour a bottle of water in．instead of wine．No one will notice it，”he said to himself．“because there will be so much excellent wine in the barrel that the water will be lost in it．”

The night of the feast arrived．Everybody gathered in the village square with their bowls and their glasses for the wine．The tap(塞子)on the barrel was opened，but what came out was pure water．Everyone in the village had had the same idea．

完成下列各题

B

The human body naturally prevents attempt(企图)to lose or gain weight．Thus the best way to lower your weight is to do some exercise daily．Although scientists don’t agree exactly

how this works to lower the“setpoint”，they do know that exercise helps your body work with you and not against you in at least the following ways：

1．Exercise burns calories(卡路里)：if you walk two miles every day，you use an extra 1400 calories a week—and lose about a pound in two weeks．

2．Exercise helps to bum fat and build muscle：since muscle requires more calories than fat does，the more muscle you have，the faster you will bum calories．

3．Finally exercise speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢)，not just while you’re exercising，but for several hours after exercise ends．

• A program of light-to-moderate exercise done for only a half-hour a day is enough to keep your“setpoint”lowered，and thus helps you lose weight and keep it off．If you need to lose more than five pounds，combine regular exercise with a moderate reduction
