A
Companies can save millions in health­care costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit.Researchers report that obese employees have higher health­care costs, but they can lower those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week — without even losing any weight.
Feifei Wang and his colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at General Motors.They estimated that getting the most obese workers to exercise would have saved about $790,000 a year, or about 1.5 percent of health­care costs for the whole group.Company­wide, the potential savings could reach $7.1 million per year, according to their report published in Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Of the whole group of workers, about 30 percent were of normal weight, 45 percent were overweight, and 25 percent were obese. Annual health­care costs averaged $2,200 for normal weight, $2,400 for the overweight, and $2,700 for obese employees. But among workers who did no exercise, health­care costs went up by at least $100 a year, and were $3,000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary (久坐的)．
But adding two or more days of light exercise — at least 20 minutes of exercise or work hard enough to increase heart rate and breathing — lowered costs by on average $500 per employee a year, the researchers found. “This indicates that physical activity behavior could lessen at least some of the negative effects of excess body fat, and in consequence, help lower the increasing health­care costs，” Wang and his colleagues wrote.
21. The researchers believe companies can spend far less on health­care costs by________.
A．encouraging employees to lose weight
B．limiting the number of obese employees
C．persuading employees to do physical activities
D．limiting the employment of sedentary workers
22. What does the underlined word “obese” in Paragraph 2 mean?

B．Some students from the University of Michigan.
C．A group of obese patients in a Michigan hospital.
D．The most obese group of workers at General Motors.
24.How much could General Motors save a year according to Wang’s study?
A．$790,000.　　　　　　　 B．$7.1 million.
C．$52.67 million. D．$11.75 million.

A new report says almost 900,000 foreign students registered at U．S.universities during the school year 2013－2014.That is an increase of eight percent over the year before.
America has more of the world’s 4.5 million international students than any other country. Nearly half of this record number of foreign students are from Asia, mainly China.
The study also demonstrates that since 2000, the number of international students in the U．S.has grown by 72 percent.Students from China are mainly responsible for this trend.
Eric Xu, a Chinese student at Columbia University, says studying in the U．S.is a valuable experience.
“In the U．S.they emphasize class discussions and your opinion. You can debate with others and with your professor or teacher, and that is an atmosphere I want to experience.”

Evan Ryan, Assistance Secretary of State for Education, says the enrollment (注册，报名) of students from abroad also adds to the U．S.economy through payments for tuition, housing and other costs.
Meanwhile, about 290,000 U．S. students went to study abroad in 2012－2013 for educational credit, and China is at the number five host country for U．S.students，hosting over 14,000 American students.

A restaurant in Tokyo has announced that it will refuse to serve couples on Christmas Eve because their happiness would serve to remind single members of staff of their loneliness. The owner of PiaPia, the restaurant in Tokyo, has placed a handwritten sign in the window of the restaurant that reads, “We will be refusing entry to all couples on December 24, with no exception！”
The message is accompanied by an outline of a male figure in blue and a female figure in red and a heart with a large red cross through the image. The message suggests that the presence of couples would upset employees having to work on Christmas Eve, stating that romantic dates would cause severe emotional hurt to single members of their staff.

In recent years, however, Christmas Eve has become an important occasion for young couples to exchange gifts and have a meal together, even if they are largely unaware of the religious significance of the holiday.
People on social media sites are largely applauding the restaurant’s stand against couples, with messages on Twitter and other sites praising, “Good move, Boss! I support you！” and “I wish all restaurants would ban couples on Christmas Eve.”

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
__36__ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. __37__
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. __38__ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. __39__ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
__40__ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help
