    Sitting too much is now listed with smoking and junk food as a bad habit that increases your risk of heart disease.

    New Australian research shows that half-an-hour in the gym will not make up for the waist-expanding damage caused by spending the rest of the day sitting.

    But the good news is that doing chores(家务杂事) in the house or gently walking around the office while on the phone might be enough to keep you fit.

    The study joins the growing body of evidence suggesting too much sitting might undo the benefits of exercise.

    The study measured the intensity(强度)of physical activities in 168 subjects over seven days. If found that, regardless of how much exercise they did or their total sitting time, those who took more breaks from sitting had lower risk of thick waists and lower levels of blood lipids(脂质).

    “Higher levels of blood lipids have been linked to a heightened risk of heart disease,”principal researcher Genevieve Healy of the University of Queensland said. "What the study shows is that there are benefits in just getting up regularly and interrupting your sitting time."

    Researchers behind the Stand up Australia project have written to the Rudd Government requesting $ 3.5 million for a two year study into how long sitting affects the health and productivity of workers.

    The latest study builds on work that is shifting the health promotion focus from purposeful exercise, such as running, to lower intensity activities throughout the day.

    The Australian research bas been backed up US studies, which show standing up is enough to double the metabolic(新陈代谢) rate and the amount of calories burnt.

    “To hold a body that weighs 77kilograms upright take a .fair amount of energy from muscles", said professor Marc Hamilton from the University of Missouri. "There is a large amount of energy associated with standing every day that cannot be easily replaced by, 30 to 60minutes in the gym."

The 31st International University Sports Federation(FISU) Summer World University Games were held from July 28, 2023 to August 8, 2023 in Chengdu, which were more than just medals and sports.

A total of 6,500 student athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu FISU Games. Besides showing their skills in different sports, these athletes also learned about many sides of Chinese culture. Each night in the athletes' village, for example, they could experience activities such as trying on hanfu, playing Chinese chess and playing traditional Chinese music.

They also had the chance to meet one of China's national treasures: the giant panda. On July 31 in a special area of Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, overseas athletes met the 6-year-old Zhi Ma, the panda who inspired (启发) the design of Rongbao—the mascot(吉祥物)of the Games. They were really excited as most of them first met with a giant panda in person. "They are much cuter than they are in videos," Mario Del Basso, a water polo athlete from Italy, said to China Daily. To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an effort to learn how to say "come here" in the local Sichuan dialect(方言).

Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the Games. During the mixed team event in a men's doubles match, Chinese athlete Tan Qiang beat Brazilian badminton player Welton Menezes easily. But the image of Menezes's worn-out shoes stuck with Tan. He asked for Menezes's shoe size immediately after the match and gave his own pair of new shoes to Menezes. "I am very grateful for Tan's help," Menezes said. "It's a great pair of shoes and I love it. After I go back to Brazil, I will also wear the shoes for training."

This event not only provides a stage for competition, but also serves as a platform for cultural exchange and the development of friendship, showing China's positive attitude to the world.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出答案。

Why play games?Because they are fun,and a lot more besides. Following the rules,planning your next move

Think about some of the games you played as a young child,such as rope﹣jumping and hide﹣and﹣seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly,they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives,such as taking turns and teamwork. 

Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example,some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes,which is needed in hunting. 

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all,the Olympic Games,bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags,not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war,an Olympic win can mean so much. 

Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it﹣﹣some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne,a Californian soccer player,has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future. 

Next time,when you play your favorite game or sport,think about why you enjoy it,and whether these skills will help you in your life. 

 阅读下列短文, 根据短文内容从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Live- streaming(直播) has become very popular in China. Viewers( people who watch it) can communicate with hosts by sending them messages, buying them gifts, or tipping( giving them some money). 

 However, some children are spending too much money on live- stream platforms(平台). Earlier this year, a 17- year old boy in Hubei, sent 150, 000 yu an to a host. That was his parents' life money. 

 To stop things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new rule on Nov 23 to better manage(管理) live- streaming services. 

 The rule bans children from giving money or sending gifts to live- stream hosts and performers. It also asks people to register(注册) on live- streaming sites with their real names. 

 Parents welcome this new rule very much. According to China Daily, about one- fifth of live- stream viewers in 2021were children. 

" Online shows and live- streaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become lost in them. " said a mother of a 15- year- old boy in Beijing. " Stricter rule makes me feel safer. "

In addition, there are some other ways to help manage live- streaming services. For example, live- streaming platforms will put a limit(限制) on how much money people can send to the hosts. When viewers reach the limit, they will not be able to send gifts or give money. If the host asks viewers to send gifts or tips, he or she will be added to blacklist(黑名单).
