AIs it possible to build muscle and meanwhile lose fat?Please allow us to bring the following two facts to your attention first．Fact 1：Losing fat requires a caloric deficit(亏损)，which means consuming

counseling center to attempt once again to complete the treatment．I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious about the whole process．While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl the same age as my daughter，came in．She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from all she learned through her past drug abuse．I felt that she was sincere in her desire．It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs．My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while insideshe was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying．Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting．Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too．I continue the example of self-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes．I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends, “I am a strong woman!” This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges．Let her know I believe in her．While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too．I hope so．4．What was the problem with the author’s

FutureC．We’re Strong Women，Trying Our BestD．We’re On The Hard Way，Lacking Self-LoveCAll animals—from humans to birds，worms and crocodiles—sleep，however，not all species sleep alike．Scientists have long puzzled over which aspects are truly fundamental．Now a new study on lizards(蜥蜴)suggests that sleep states once thought to occur only in mammals and birds have much older evolutionary origins．Scientists had long doubted that birds and mammals are the only vertebrates(脊椎动物)to experience rapid eye movement(REM)，a sleep state in which the body is mostly immobile but the brain is overworking．During REM sleep，the brain produces high-frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes turn suddenly from time to time．In humans，REM is closely linked to dreaming．REM is a pattern of slow-wave sleep，a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent．This slower state is widely thought to be important to memory formation and storage．“But scientists who looked for signs of REM and slow-wave sleep in reptiles(爬行动物) have had ‘confusing’ results，” says Gilles Laurent，a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt，Germany．So he and his colleagues had planned to examine how the lizards—a common pet in Germany use visual information to chase treats．Using camera，the team found that the sleeping lizards’ eyes twitched during the REM-like stage，just like other animals．They also found a very familiar pattern within the slower phase of the lizards’ brain waves．Some scientists believe these waves help transform new information into memories by replaying past events quickly．Although more studies are still needed to determine whether the function of these brain wave patterns is the same across species，the results suggest that these REM and slow-wave sleep patterns could date all the way back to the common ancestor of reptiles，birds，and mammals．8．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The origin of human dream．B．The definition and effect of REM．C．The features and course of memory．D．The advantages and disadvantages of REM．9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “twitched” in paragraph 3?A．opened wide B．moved quickly C．stayed closed D．kept still10．How does the lizards’ brain waves turn information into memories according to some scienfists?A．By increasing their frequency slowly．B．By changing their pattern occasionally．C．By playing back the past events quickly．D．By connecting visual information effectively．11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The function of the brain wave is the same．B．All the animals have the common ancestor．C．The sleep pattern of all the animals is the same．D．The study about sleep pattern has a long way to go．DA good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历) or CV．Like social media，there，we usually only see our friends’ “highlight part”．When we look at others’ resumes，we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up．But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it．Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist，so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good grades，PhD，and published papers．But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could all do．“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed，my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications，or the papers never accepted for publication．During the interviews，I talk aboutthe one project that worked，not about the many that failed,” writes Stefan in a column for ．Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log，casually but regularly，every unsuccessful application，refused grant proposal and rejected paper．And that’s the point：not to consider what we got wrong，but to use that information to both look at failure and realize it’s really okay，and also to use our failures for another purpose：as learning tools．The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works．Being real means taking an honest，critical，but also kind look at what we didn’t get right，and then doing our best to change what we can．Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel，take the time to step back and analyze the practical，operational reasons that you failed．So，practice being okay with failure，and turning your failures into lessons learned．And yes，sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once，letting go of what you can’t change．And keep moving forward to success．12．What does the underlined word“it”in the first paragraph refer to?A．Plenty of failure．B．A failure resume．C．Highlight part．D．Social media．13．What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3?A．All her failures in her career．B．Benefits she got from her failures．C．The content of her own resume．D．The difference between her resume and others’．14．What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers?A．Regard failures as part of our life．B．Keep a record of our failures．C．Value our achievements．D．Long for failures．15．Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion?A．No pains，no gains．B．All roads lead to Rome．C．Where there is a will，there is a way．D．Failure is the mother of success．第二节(共5小题；每小题2．5分，满分12．5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
