A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled wit h fatness for most of his life.
Weight problem is a complex condition. A doctor may advise t aking medicine along with changing one's behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight－loss plans include a well －

the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，
more than four and one－
half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for ch olesterol（胆固醇）levels and blood pressure.
Christopher Gardner，who led the study，
says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its si mple message to eat less sugar. He says that there was not e nough money to study men，
but that men would probably have similar results.
Last week，another report based on thirty－
one studies suggested that only a few people have long－term success with dieting. It says those who kept the weight o ff generally were the ones who exercised.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our minds while we are sleeping. People dream about one to two hours each night. We may have four to seve n dreams in one night. Everybody dreams. But only some peo ple can remember their dreams.
The word “dream” comes from an old word in English that me ans “joy” and “music”. We dream in color. Our dreams often in clude all the senses—
smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometime s we dream the same dream over and over again. These repe ated dreams are often unpleasant. They are bad dreams that sometimes frighten us.
Artists, writers and scientists sometimes say they get ideas fr om dreams. For example, the singer Paul McCartney of the B eatles said he awakened one day with the music for the song Yesterday in his head. The writer Mary Shelley said she had a very strong dream about a scientist using a machine to make
an animal come alive. When she woke up, she began to write her book about a scientist named Frankenstein who made a f rightening monster(妖怪).
In China, people believed that dreams were a way to visit with family members who had died. Some native American tribes(部
落) and Mexican civilizations believe dreams are a different w orld we visit when we sleep.

You have most likely heard of renewable energy or even used it in your home, or office to do your part for the environment. Renewable energy is energy from natural resources including the wind, sunlight, and water. This form of energy is always re newed and cannot be exhausted. The most popular modern d ay form of this energy can be seen in solar paneling(电池板). Renewable energy can produce electricity and plays a m ajor role in reducing greenhouse emissions(排
放) and fossil fuels (化石燃料).
A study by the Department of Energy’s National Renewable E nergy Laboratory predicts that renewable energy resources c an soon provide up to 80 percent of the electricity in the Unite d States. The study was conducted to decide how renewable energy can meet the needs of a rapidly increasing population. Using the current solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal(地热), and hydropower, this 80 percent increase is a promising possibility for our future.
Increasing this renewable energy will pro
vide practical benefits for our economy, climate, and health. N ot only will it greatly reduce global warming, but it will improve public health, and provide many economic benefits. In a futur e with 80 percent fewer renewables, our carbon emissions will
also be reduced by 80 percent, and water use will be cut in h alf.
This future is both possible and affordable, and we already ha ve the tools in place to begin. However, we need to make imp rovements to our current electricity grid(电
网) first. Additionally, the United States needs to carry out a cl ean energy policy for renewables.
32. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. protecting the environment
B. the use of renewable energy
C. reducing global warming
D. the form of renewable energy
33. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “e xha usted” in the first paragraph?
A. Tired.
B. Removed.
C. Created.
D. Used up.
34. Which of the following is not renewable energy?
A. Solar.
B. Geothermal.
C. Hydropower.
D. Fossil fuels.
35. What will the renewables bring us?
A. Doing good to our economy, climate, and health.
B. Partly increasing global warming.
C. Increasing our cost.
D. Improving current electricity grid.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our minds while we are sleeping. People dream about one to two hours each night. We may have four to sev en dreams in one night. Everybody dreams. But only some people can remember their drea ms.

smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometimes we dream the same dream o ver and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They are bad dreams that sometimes frighten us.

When she woke up, she began to write her book about a scientist named Frankenstein who made a frightening monster(妖怪).

You have most likely heard of renewable energy or even used it in your home, or office to do your part for the environment. Renewable energy is energy from natural resources including t he wind, sunlight, and water. This form of energy is always renewed and cannot be exhauste d. The most popular modern day form of this energy can be seen in solar paneling(电池板). Renewable energy can produce electricity and plays a major role in reducing greenhous e emissions(排放) and fossil fuels (化石燃料).
A study by the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory predicts that r enewable energy resources can soon provide up to 80 percent of the electricity in the United States. The study was conducted to decide how renewable energy can meet the needs of a r apidly increasing population. Using the current solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal(地热), and hydropower, this 80 percent increase is a promising possibility for our future. Increasing this renewable energy will pro
vide practical benefits for our economy, climate, and health. Not only will it greatly reduce glo bal warming, but it will improve public health, and provide many economic benefits. In a futur e with 80 percent fewer renewables, our carbon emissions will also be reduced by 80 percent , and water use will be cut in half.
This future is both possible and affordable, and we already have the tools in place to begin. However, we need to make improvements to our current electricity grid(电
网) first. Additionally, the United States needs to carry out a clean energy policy for renewabl es.
32. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. protecting the environment
