When we exercise hard，we burn fat （脂肪）．But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes？
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air．Others think the body burns it．Some even joke that someone comes and takes it．That's why you always weigh less in the morning．
Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery．
"The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed out as CO2．It goes into thin air，"says the study．
Scientists followed the atoms （原子）in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost．They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs （肺）．The other weight，1.6 kilograms，becomes water and leaves the body．
"None of this is easy to understand because we can't see the CO2 we breathe out，said the study's lead expert．
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more？It is not as easy as you think．Breathing more than the body's metabolic rate （新陈代谢速度）can make you uncomfortable．You may feel dizzy （眩晕的）and become unable to see，move or feel，according to the study．
So how can people lose weight healthily？The key is to eat less and move more．You may have heard this many times．During a day．a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2．So if the same person wants to lose weight，he or she can do some light exercise，for example，walking fast．This can help lose 24Og of CO2．

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest（热带雨林）？Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface，about six percent，but there are more kinds of tees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa，Asia，Central and South America，Australia，and on the Pacific islands.The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon（亚马逊）Rainforest in South America，which covers 1.2 billion acres，or almost five million square kilometres.The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things.In fact，the Amazon Rainforest is the "lungs of our planet" because it produces 20%of the world's oxygen （氧气）.One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest.Furthermore，one half of the world's species of animals，plants and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest.25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests.Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest.The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light.The under storey is the dark，cool environment under the leaves but over the ground.The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees.The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.
These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals，plants and human beings.

Living on an island might sound wonderful． But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return？ What if your home， and even the land it stood on， was gone forever？For people living in the Pacific Islands，this is really possible．
Why？ Climate（气候） change． Climate change is causing the sea to rise． That's bad news for the Pacific Islands． Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder：Will they be the last generation（一代人）？
Not if the islanders have anything to do about it．These people are deeply connected to their homelands． The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries： the Marshall Islands， Fiji， Samoa，and others． But now， those countries are working together． They're joining forces to fight climate change．
Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world？Islands have low elevations（海拔）．So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels． That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part．
But these are small countries． When it comes to climate change， can they make a big difference？ They can， because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships．This is very harmful to the environment． After all， ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions（碳排放）．That makes climate change worse．
Pacific Islanders realize the problem． So， in 2019，six countries got together：Fiji，the Marshall Islands， Samoa，Vanuatu， the Solomon Islands， and Tuvalu． They came up with a plan． They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030．And by 2050，they expect zero﹣carbon shipping．
How will they pull this off？ They plan to use some really cool carbon﹣free technologies．They'll make use of solar and wind energy．
Sea levels are rising， but hopes aren't sinking in the Pacific Islands．

A． Some Pacific Island countries have disappeared．
B． The sea level is going up because of climate change．
C． All the sipping to the Pacific Islands has been stopped．
D． The Pacific Islands have nothing to do about the climate change．
（2）The underlined word "threat" in Paragraph 4 probably means" "．
A． risk
B． step
C． project
D． development
（3）It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A． there will never be zero carbon emissions from sipping
B． solar and wind energy will make climate change worse
C． all the Pacific Islanders may leave their homelands by 2050
D． some Pacific Island countries may have hopes to make a difference
（4）The passage mainly talks about ．
A． why other countries are helping the Pacific Islanders fight climate change

The cold wind blew strongly outside． Amaya was warm in her house， thinking about an article she'd read at school． The article was about kids who helped out their communities， and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town， Harvard．
The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help． In the article， the kids had grown food for people who needed food， but it was winter． She couldn't start a garden． Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping．
As they drove along the road， Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk（ 人 行 道 ），wearing only light jackets． How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats， hats and gloves for people who needed them．

Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．
"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．
For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．
"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．
It gave us a new understanding of language，said Andies．That is，not only do humans understand the meaning in words，other species（物种） do too．

What's a spacewalk？ Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft（航天器） while in space， it is called a spacewalk． Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons． For example， experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft． This lets scientists learn how being in space affects（ 影响） different things． By going on spacewalks， astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix．
When astronauts go on spacewalks， they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe． Inside spacesuits， astronauts have the oxygen（氧气） they need to breathe and the water they need to drink． To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe， the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door． When on a spacewalk， astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft． Tethers are like ropes， connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft． They keep astronauts from floating（ 漂 浮 ） away into space． Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER． SAFER is worn like a backpack． It helps an astronaut move around in space．
How do astronauts train for spacewalks？ One way is by going for a swim． Floating in space is a lot like floating in water． Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool． For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk， astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool． Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality（虚拟现实）． It looks and feels just like a spacewalk．
Today， only three countries have finished spacewalks independently． They are Russia， the United States and China． The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia． Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk． The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev． He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space．

When Reginald Johnston， a British scholar（学者）， first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919， most palaces weren't allowed to visit． But a century later， when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary（周年纪念） in October，the 599 year﹣ old palace complex（宫殿群） becomes the world' s busiest museum．
Open to the public
In the old days， ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside． When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925． the public could go into the palaces． Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025．
Embracing（拥抱） the world
"It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history．"Christopher Allen from Britain said， "I beginto love its history and culture．"
The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors． It attracted about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas（海外的） exhibitions were held in 2018 The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon（文化现象） everywhere it goes．
Attracting the youth
On the Palace Museums online store on Taodao， you can find more than 10， 000 cultural products． The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular．
Some favourite products also go offline． For example， the Kangxi Emperor's Favourite Chocolate"， the most popular drink always has people lining up（排队） to get a taste．
As a child， Xu Jing often rode a bike in front of the Meridian Gate（午门）．"I had little memory of the museum then， but now I am more willing to visit it after watching several popular TV shows about the museum， "she said．

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.

We spent holidays with our uncle．He loved to go on walks to collect stones．One day，he bought us backpacks（背包） and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones．
The whole day we walked around．Every now and then he put stones in our bags．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from our bags．But we thought he had just found better stones．

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall．
For me， height was my trouble． I was much taller than other girls， so I often bent（ 弯曲） my body at the back of the line． I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd． And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade．
My grandfather didn't laugh at me． Instead， whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter， he would tell me "Stand straight and tall， Alisa． "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood． And whenever I was afraid of something， he always told me stories of his life．
My grandfather grew up in war﹣torn（战乱的） Europe．" Stand straight， stand tall "meant something else then． After the war， he went to America． He lived a hard life， "If they could do it， why couldn't I？""Stand straight， stand tall，"he often reminded（提醒） himself． Thanks to the help of a friend， my grandfather got a job． He once told me that he was very nervous at first． He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language．
"Stand straight， stand tall，" he would always tell himself． I am so proud of my grandfather． After listening to my grandfather 's unusual experiences， I have changed the way I look at my own life．
"Stand straight， stand tall"has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture（身姿）． It also tells me to be proud of who I am．
