Dylan had been mentioned in the Nobel prediction for years, but few experts expected the academy to extend the award to a genre (体裁）such as pop music. He’s the first American winner of the Nobel Literature Prize since Toni Morrison in 1992. The choice was met by a long round of applause from journalists attending the prize announcement.

Dylan’s early rock classics such as The Times They Are A-Changin’, and A Hard Rains Gonna Fall, help to get cross the thoughts and feelings of the counterculture. The music publication Rolling Stone released a list of the “100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs” in honor of his 75 th birthday earlier this year.

A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds the fitness tracker probably does not help with weight loss.

The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of

inpiduals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling (咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.

The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet. ”

The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese (肥胖的）.Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers pided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” wit h no major difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.

Jakicic said, ”the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to ad dress America’s obesity. ” More information is needed, he added，to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.

32. All the subjects in the study were asked to_____________.

A. start on a high-calorie diet

B. wear a fitness tracker

C. increase physical activities

D. record their heart rates

33. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?

A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.

B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.

C. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatments.

D. There are great differences in fitness between both groups.

34. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?

A. The study went on for about two years.

B. More than 120 men took part in the study.

C. Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilograms.

D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.

35. The purpose of the text is to________

A. describe how the researchers were conducting the study

B. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessary

C. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight control

D. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems

3. Believe in yourself and all that you are. 39 Confidence is the key to success—the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.

4. A day well spent gets you a good night sleep. Enough sleep makes you feel healthier and happier, and it’s more than lifting up your or removing exhaustion(疲惫). Adequate sleep is a key part of your health and inner happiness. 40
