Even though二、阅读理解AIn between juggling (努力对付) twelve NFL fantasy teams and spending time with my family in Michigan, Ive been working hard to get into really good shape. I played soccer and I was always competitive. But when I started playing poker (扑克) fulltime, I got lazy and became much less active. Now Im getting older and realize that I should be taking my health more seriously.Im running again. I usually start my workouts with a really fast mile, and then jog another two or three miles at a slower pace. After the run, I do some body weight exercises like pushups and crunches.While I really enjoy my workouts, eating healthy food has been a real challenge. I cannot cook at all and, to be honest, my diet is pretty bad. I eat too much takeout food and dine out almost every day. In order to counteract all that junk food, I decided to try a juice cleanse (果汁排毒法). I picked up a special blender called the Nutribullet and about$200 worth of organic produce. The goal was to eat nothing but fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds for four to five days.The juices themselves were not that bad, especially because I started throwing things into the blender and hoped it turned edible. I was skeptical about how green juice would taste, but discovered that if you combine your greens with fruit, the vegetable taste isnt strong. If you mix spinach with some strawberries and a banana, the juice may look green but it has a strawberrybanana taste.Its important for me to have a balanced life. Im a person who likes making changes. Ill go on a poker binge (狂欢), then a travel binge, then Ill take a break when I dont do much of either. Not only will it keep me from getting burned out, it will help me appreciate my work even more. Living a healthier lifestyle can bring more balance to my life and hopefully it will start to benefit me at the table as well.1. The author decided to take up running again because he .

Taking healthy exercise every dayBIf youre the kind of person who loves travel but finds it difficult to break down language barriers, you may want to check out Iconspeak, a Tshirt covered in basic pictographs (象形图画) ranging from clocks to bathrooms. Simply point to the symbol associated with your need, and hopefully, the person youre talking to will understand you soon. I can tell you that its better than having to make gestures with strangers.Iconspeak is the brainchild of George Horn and Florian Nast. They were traveling through Asia in 2013 and found themselves in a remote village with no vehicle, no tourism, but just some locals. The problems they had while trying to express their needs to the locals inspired them to start working on a simple but effective solution to the language barrier. Two years later, they came up with the Iconspeak Tshirt.The Iconspeak collection is made up of three types of Tshirts long, short, sleeveless as well as bags and hats that feature fewer icons (符号). The products are available internationally through the Iconspeak website, with the founders proving that they work anywhere in the world.“I have used it in Norway,” said George Horn. “It works beautifully the people you ask are surprisingly quick in getting what you want or mean since they are thinking in a certain context (背景). If you point to the bus and the clock on the shirt and you do this at a bus stop anybody will know that you want to know when the next bus leaves. With ICONs, you can SPEAK, you can SPEAK to the world.”Iconspeak is a clear example that the answer to complex problems can be very simple. I have yet to try the shirt, but somehow I have no doubt that it actually works. It might not always help, but for common problems, like finding a telephone, the nearest hotel or an ATM, Iconspeak seems like a good solution.5.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk .

There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.Dr. J. Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887. He called these people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental injury, such as in autism (自闭症) or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people. The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr. Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was
