19、ring it,”says Amanda Bontempo,MS,RD,CDN,an oncology dietitian（癌症营养学家）at NYU Langone s Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center.Proof that short exercise bursts work:A study in Diabetes Care found that older adults who walked for just 15 minutes after each meal had lower blood sugar levels than those

20、 who walked for 45 minutes in the late morning or before dinner.Green tea and lemon are diuretics（利尿的）,which means you ll take more bathroom breaks.“You re not directly eliminating the sugar,but you are forcing your blood to pump nutrients and waste products through your kidneys faster,which speeds

21、sugar out of your system,”says Bontempo.Remember to stay well chemically bonded with water too;normally sugar hold back leptin,an appetite-regulating hormone,but drinking water reduces this effect.A high-protein,low-carb（低碳水化合物）breakfast with a bit of fat is extremely important the day after a sugar

22、 overload.“The protein and fat keep you full,and fewer carbs encourage you to burn yesterday s stored-up sugar energy,”says Bontempo.Try a vegetable bread with a slice of 4 whole-grain toast,topped with avocado.51.According to the passage,to undo a sugar binge we d better do something except_ A.have

23、 a spoonful of nut butter with fibers.B.have a little workout after eating.C.drink green tea with fruit juice.D.plan tomorrow s healthy breakfast.52.This passage probably comes from _.A.a nutrition web page B.a scientific newspaper.C.a food leaflet.D.a medical magazine B Frederick Douglass was a gre

24、at leader during the Civil War although he was not a soldier during the Civil War.Although he was not a soldier and was not part of the military,he still gained popularity in a different way.Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born on February 7,1817 in Tuckahoe,Maryland.His mother Harriet Bail

25、ey,was a slave.However,his father s identity is unknown.It became the source of his tragedy.He was raised by his grandparents because he was separated from his mother when he was born.At seven years old,Frederick was sent to a farm and worked for Captain Aaron Anthony,his master.He met his two siste

26、rs and a brother at the farm,however,he later admitted that he felt like a stranger among his own brothers and sisters.At the age of eight,Frederick became a slave for Hugh Auld,one of Captain Anthony s relatives in Baltimore.Frederick managed to persuade Auld s wife to teach him how to read.She beg

27、an to teach him lessons but eventually changed her mind and stopped giving him lessons because she felt that slaves should not be taught how to read and write.However,Frederick learned how to read and write through the help of his educated playmates.Soon,Frederick realized that the only way to rise

28、from his present lifestyle was through education and knowledge.He believed that slave masters didn t want their slaves to become educated because they would rise from ignorance and find a way to resist.This was Frederick s main reason for learning how to read and write.Frederick attempted to escape

29、in 1836.After he was caught,he was forced to live as a slave again in Maryland.Two years later,he tried to escape once more.He fled Maryland and made his way to New Bedford,Massachusetts.Fearful that he might be caught again,he changed his name to Frederick Douglass.The State of Massachusetts abolis

30、hed slavery,and this was where Frederick became active in anti-slavery movements.He was on a mission to help end slavery.Douglass held lectures in which he described the slaves sad life in the fields.He often made trips to the South to help slaves escape through a secret route called the Underground

31、 Railroad.In 1847,he moved to New York and established a newspaper called The North Star,which was solely dedicated to spreading the word of abolitionism(废奴论).Frederick s involvement and contributions to the anti-slavery movement earned him a place 5 in American history as an icon of liberation and

35、cape through the Underground Railroad.D.A Man s Journey from a Slave to a Leader.C With exploding consumer demand for Greek yogurt,production is up.That s great for food companies bottom lines,but it also leaves them dealing with a lot more acid whey(酸乳清),a problematic byproduct of the Greek yogurt-

36、making process.Acid whey,if not properly dealt with,can cause environmental problems.At present,food companies typically pay to landspread it on farmers fields or dump it down the drain like sweage.Some plants are starting to send it to some professional companies,where it is used to produce methane

37、（沼气）.Scientist at the university of Wisconsin-Madison are developing a better choice-one that will transform this trash into treasure.“The whole goal is to take this problematic mixture of stuff acid whey and separate all of the various components and find commercial use for them,”says Dean Sommer,a

38、 food technologist with Wisconsin Center for Diary Research(CDR)in UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Science.That is no easy task.Food companies have been separating the components of sweet wheythe byproduct of cheese productionfor more than a decade now,obtaining high-value whey protein p

39、owders that are featured in muscle-building products and other high-protein foods and drinks.Compared to acid whey,it s mostly water 95 percent but it contains a lot less protein,which is considered the valuable part.Some of the other“solid”in acid whey,which include lactose(乳糖),lactic acid,calcium,

40、6 phosphorus and galactose,make it a lot more difficult to process.For example,thanks to galactose and lactic acid,it turns into a sticky mess when it s dried down.Instead of drying it,CDR scientists are developing technologies that use high-tech filters(过滤器),or membranes,to separate out the various

41、 components.“We are taking the membranes that are available to us and stringing them together and developing a process that allows us to get some value-added ingredients out at the other end,”says diary processing technologist Karen Smith,who is working on the project.At this point,the CDR has set i

42、ts sight on lactose,an ingredient that food companies will pay good money for in food-grade form.“It s the lowest-hanging fruit,the most valuable thing in there in terms of amount and potential worth,”says Sommer.The technology is quite underway.While Sommer can t give away names,he says a number of

43、 companies are already carrying out lactose-separating technology in their commercial plans.Separating the other components will later be part of the long-term goal for this technology.When it s perfected,explains Sommer,acid whey will be stripped of its ingredients until there is nothing left.“It w

44、ill just be water,”he says.56.Consumers fast rising demand for Greek yogurt _ A.makes acid whey in short supply.B.actually takes double-edge-sword effect.C.destroys food companies bottom lines D.brings food companies nothing but good news 57.What can we learn about acid whey from Paragrph 2?A.It is

46、luable byproduct of cheese production 59.According to the article,Sommer is_ lactose-separating technology A.subjective about B.doubtful about C.optimistic about D.crazy about.D In the last days of December,Dr Hall,the village priest,was working in his study when his servant entered the room,in grea

47、t alarm.7 Oh,Dr Hall,sir,she cried.What do you think?The poor Squires dead!What?Squire Bowles?What are you saying,woman?replied the priest.I saw him only yesterday Yes,sir,I know,said the servant,but its true.Mr Wickem,the clerk,has just brought the news on his way to ring the church bell.Youll hear

48、 it yourself in a moment.Listen!There it is.And sure enough,the bell then began to ring,long and slow,telling the people of the village that someone had died.Dr Hall stood up.This is terrible,he said.I must go up to the Hall at once.The Squire was so much better yesterday.It seems so sudden.Yes,sir,

49、agreed the servant.Mr Wickem said that the poor Squire was taken ill very suddenly with a terrible pain.He died very quickly,and Wickem said they want him buried quickly too.Yes,yes;well,I must ask Mrs Bowles herself or Mr Joseph,said the priest.Bring me my coat and hat,please.Oh,and tell Mr Wickem

50、that I would like to see him when he has finished ringing the bell.And he hurried off to the Hall.When he returned an hour later,he found the clerk waiting for him.Theres a lot of work for you to do,Wickem,he said,and not much time to do it.Yes,sir,said Wickem.Youll want the family tomb opened,of co
