Take the escalator—but climb the stairs while you ride. You'll get there faster and use your muscles while you're at it. Just 5 minutes of stair climbing burns 144 calories.

Instead of piling items on the stairs so you can take them upstairs at once, take them one at a time.

When cooling your heels while waiting in a doctor's office, drugstore, or airport, stay on your feet—standing burns 36 more calories per hour than sitting.

Rake leaves instead of using a leaf blower. You'll burn 50 more calories every half hour.

Scrub your floors more often. Putting some elbow grease into cleaning floors is more intense than vacuuming—and it makes your floors look better to boot.

Chew sugarless gum. Research has found that the action of jaw muscles alone burns about 11 calories an hour.

Wash your car by hand instead of taking it throug the automatic carwash. You'll burn an extra 280 calories in an hour.

Play with kids: Impromptu (即興的) games of basketball, touch football, or tag—or just jumping rope or throwing a ball—will help you use energy and set a good example of active play for the children. Calories burned: 80 to 137 every 10 minutes.

1．How can you get to some place faster?

A．Taking an escalator.

B．Taking a lift.

C．Taking an elevator.

1. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Take the escalator—but climb the stairs while you ride. You'll get there faster...”兩句可以得出答案。

2. 細節(jié)理解題。文章倒數(shù)第二段說親自動手洗車每小時可以消耗掉280卡熱量，即每分鐘4卡多；最后一段說和孩子玩即興游戲每10分鐘可以消耗80到137卡的熱量，即每分鐘8到14卡，由此可見和洗車相比，與孩子玩即興游戲?qū)τ跍p肥更有利。

3. 主旨大意題。通讀全文，這篇文章主要講的是在生活中隨時注意一些細節(jié)就可以增加能量消耗，達到健身減肥之目的，所以最佳答案選B。若以A項為題，應(yīng)該講節(jié)食、運動、服用減肥藥等大的方面。C、D項都偏離了文章的中心。
