Take the escalator—but climb the stairs while you ride. You'll get there faster and use your muscles while you're at it. Just 5 minutes of stair climbing burns 144 calories.
Instead of piling items on the stairs so you can take them upstairs at once, take them one at a time.
When cooling your heels while waiting in a doctor's office, drugstore, or airport, stay on your feet—standing burns 36 more calories per hour than sitting.
Rake leaves instead of using a leaf blower. You'll burn 50 more calories every half hour.
Scrub your floors more often. Putting some elbow grease into cleaning floors is more intense than vacuuming—and it makes your floors look better to boot.
Chew sugarless gum. Research has found that the action of jaw muscles alone burns about 11 calories an hour.
Wash your car by hand instead of taking it throug the automatic carwash. You'll burn an extra 280 calories in an hour.
Play with kids: Impromptu (即兴的) games of basketball, touch football, or tag—or just jumping rope or throwing a ball—will help you use energy and set a good example of active play for the children. Calories burned: 80 to 137 every 10 minutes.
1．How can you get to some place faster?
A．Taking an escalator.
B．Taking a lift.
C．Taking an elevator.
D．Taking an escalator and climbing the stairs at the same time.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A．Compared with washing cars by hand, playing
impromptu games with kids is better for losing weight.
B．You'd better stand while waiting in the doctor's office since it's usually dirty there.
C．Cleaning the floor by hand is better than vacuuming it because it's better for your elbow's muscles.
D．Lots of people like chewing gum because they want to burn more calories.
3. The best title of the article will be ________.
A．How to Lose Weight
B．Ways to Burn Calories Without Noticing
C．Sports Is Good for Your Health
D．The More Exercise, the Better Shape You Will Have
1-3 DAB
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Take the escalator—but climb the stairs while you ride. You'll get there faster...”两句可以得出答案。
2. 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段说亲自动手洗车每小时可以消耗掉280卡热量，即每分钟4卡多；最后一段说和孩子玩即兴游戏每10分钟可以消耗80到137卡的热量，即每分钟8到14卡，由此可见和洗车相比，与孩子玩即兴游戏对于减肥更有利。
3. 主旨大意题。通读全文，这篇文章主要讲的是在生活中随时注意一些细节就可以增加能量消耗，达到健身减肥之目的，所以最佳答案选B。若以A项为题，应该讲节食、运动、服用减肥药等大的方面。C、D项都偏离了文章的中心。

Every year, I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day: a letter. Something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don't always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
