          How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.
          You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity(肥胖) in the long term,to reduced cholesterol(膽固醇) maintenance in the short term,not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine(脊柱).
          To make matters worse,a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise,according to an article in The New York Times.The article reported that a study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day,the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.In other words,sitting is killing us.
          Stand up for health.Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.
          The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood,and when they sat around.When they looked at the data,there were some striking differences.Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair.Standing also burned more calories(熱量單位:卡路里)-about 50 calories an hour.Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30,000 extra calories,or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.
          John Buckley,a member of the research team,said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits,our bodies also need the constant,almost imperceptible(感覺不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides.Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.
          The researchers believe that even small adjustments,like standing while talking on the phone,going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail,or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator,will help.
          (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

          78.According to the context,the underlined expression"be countered with"in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by"
          be prevented/reduced by
          be prevented/reduced by
          ".
          79.The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University of Chester in the UK are that standing
          helps blood sugar become level quicker and burns more calories
          helps blood sugar become level quicker and burns more calories

          80.Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?
          Standing provides the constant,almost imperceptible increase in muscle activity
          Standing provides the constant,almost imperceptible increase in muscle activity

          81.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
          People should stand for health instead of sitting too much

          • 1.Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.There are lots of great uses for this technology.(1)
            So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service,and pay attention to how you are using it.Here're some important points you may find helpful.
               Choose what's best for you.Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot.(2)
            Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
               Know who your friends are.(3)
            This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky,so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
               (4)
            Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time,but others will send it forever-until you stop it.Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
               Update parents.Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(5)
            If you're heading home late at night,you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive,so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.
            A.Check back often.
            B.Keep sending your location.
            C.However,these services are not for all children.
            D.With its help,you can easily share your location with them.
            E.Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.
            F.Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.
            G.Some location services operate like Facebook,where you invite and accept friends.

          • 3.Dear Laura,
                Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
            Yours,
            Betty
