It has claimed that people can lose weight by eating anything they want, but only during a set eight-hour period. The 8-Hour D
3、iet: Watch the Pounds Disappear Without Watching What You Eat! is co-written by David Zinczen and Peter Moore.They argue that staying up late and eating around the clock is responsible for the high rates of diabetes (糖尿病 ) and obesity. Our bodies cant process the food we eat after these hours. These
4、 calories end up where they shouldnt, around our bellies and butts (臀部 ). The book claims we can lose ten pounds in a week and up to 20 pounds in six weeks, and asks that we choose any eight-hour window for eating, such as 9 am to 5 pm or 11 am to 7 pm.Staying up and eating late may be the cause of
5、diabetes. Simply, limiting food intake to 8 hours gives people all the benefitswithout having to worry about food intake.In the simplest terms, the 8-hour diet is a way of extending the period between our last snack and our breakfast, giving our body the chance to burn away our fat stores for the en
6、ergy it needs.Restricting (限定) the time period during which we eat makes our body burn more calories in the day. So the longer we eat, the lazier our metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes. However, if we fit food intake into an eight-hour window, our body burns more calories day and night as well as preventing

8、e underlined sentence may mean _.A if we keep fit by having enough foodB if we take in food for eight hoursC if we limit the food we eat to certain typesD if we eat food within an eight-hour period4Whats the purpose of the passage?A To show people what to eat. B To explain some habits on health.C To
9、 introduce a new book on health. D To warn people of unhealthy habits.In Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.
10、So, for the past 40 years, a DC organisation has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive (茁壮成长). This organisation, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95
11、percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.Katherine Roboff is the groups executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the groups success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It w
12、orks with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth gradein the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.Roboff says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth gradearound age 13they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going
13、 to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge impact. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a students future more than anything that happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer,
14、when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor (导师).“The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop the
