Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word—“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.
Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my heart”.
When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.
If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However, you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something.
But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.” And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.
【小題1】If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.
| A．you “have a heart of stone” | B．you have to “take heart” |
| C．you “break you heart” | D．you “speak from the bottom of the heart” |
| A．English words can all be used differently |
| B．some phrases do not have a fixed meaning |

| D．the same word may have various meanings |
| A．To explain how “heart” is used in phrases. |
| B．To show the author’s perfect English. |
| C．To tell English learners to learn English in phrases. |
| D．To advertise an English course. |
| A．A change of heart | B．Open up the heart of “heart” |

科目：高中英語 來源：2011屆河南省鄲城縣一高高三第二次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解
Your chair is your enemy. That is the conclusion of several recent studies. Among people who sit in front of the television for more than three hours each day, those who exercise are as fat as those who don’t.
So what’s wrong with sitting? The answer seems to have two parts. The first is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and engage the muscles of your back and shoulders; while standing, you often shift from leg to leg. All of this burns energy.
You may think you have no choice about how much you sit. But this isn’t true. Suppose you sleep for eight hours each day, and exercise for one. That still leaves 15 hours of activities. Even if you exercise, most of the energy you burn will be burnt during these 15 hours, so weight gain is often the cumulative(累積的) effect of a series of small decisions: Do you take the stairs or the elevator? Do you walk to the corner store, or drive?
But it looks as though there’s a more sinister aspect to sitting. Some evidence suggests that when you spend long periods sitting, your body actually does things that are bad for you.
Lipoprotein lipase(蛋白脂酶) is a molecule that plays a central role in how the body processes fats. Low levels of lipoprotein lipase are associated with a variety of health problems. Studies in rats show that leg muscles only produce this molecule when they are actively being moved. The result is that when you sit, an important part of your metabolism(新陳代謝) slows down. You may also have a higher risk of suffering from diabetes(糖尿病).
Some people have advanced radical solutions to the sitting syndrome(綜合癥): replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk, or watch television in a rocking chair. But whatever you choose, know this. The data is clear; look out for your chair.
【小題1】What would be the best title of this passage?
| A．Become an Athlete to Be Healthy. |
| B．Choose a Better Chair for You. |
| C．How to Speed Up Your Metabolism. |
| D．Stand Up While You Read This. |
| A．taking too much exercise harms people’s health |
| B．sitting a lot reduces the benefits of taking exercise |
| C．people needn’t depend on exercise to keep healthy |
| D．healthy people are those who sit less and stand more |
| A．Exercising at least an hour a day. |
| B．Standing as long as possible. |
| C．Using our energy actively in daily life. |
| D．watching TV in a rocking chair. |
| A．show that it plays a big part in keeping us healthy |
| B．tell us that it isn’t produced while we are sitting |
| C．suggest that we should take less exercise to be healthy |
| D．prove sitting for long is bad for our body |
