一、练习设置的目的与使用方式
【英语新闻精听】尤适合高一的优等生，高二、高三的学习。听力填词，作为英语学习的调节，用时文激发学生的学习英语的兴趣，元宵觉得是一种不错的方式，所以分享给大家。听力填词针对高一高二的学生，我们老师需多多鼓励，我们不在于结果，而是我们不能“一生只读圣贤书，充耳不闻窗外事”，而在于与时俱进同时学习英语，随着我们师生一起听，孩子们一天比一天听懂的内容一天比一天越来越多。
关于题目设置“听新闻填词”的挖空设置大都10或15个，填词集中于时间、地点、人物、事件、数据，等同于完型题或语法填词题数。语法填词考点尽量按照高考要求设置。听完听力版本的“新闻填词”，可以借助语法填词版本的“新闻填词”进行答案校对，最后通过“答案”落实每题。校对答案时可以适当的引导学生跳出“新闻填词”来复习听力，语法填词，话题写作对应的考点。
元宵的听力填词安排一般安排在课前或者下课前的5—10分钟内完成学生4次听力填词+校对、评讲，且告诉他们，今天的作业量取决于你们课堂监测表现，包括听力填词，他们就会拿出吃奶的劲努力听去明白。

运动前喝咖啡有助减肥
如果你希望下一次锻炼时最大化地提高脂肪燃烧量，不妨考虑在运动前半小时喝杯咖啡——因为有新研究表明，它可以使脂肪燃烧量明显变化，尤其是在下午。研究人员收集了15名男性志愿者的数据后发现，如果按每公斤体重3毫克的量来摄入咖啡因，就可以提高有氧运动中的脂肪燃烧速度。
研究表明，咖啡可以增加最大脂肪氧化率，上午平均增加10.7%，下午增加29%。最大脂肪氧化率用于衡量身体有效燃烧脂肪的效率。研究人员总结道：”总体来说，研究结果表明，急性咖啡因摄入和下午中等强度的运动相结合，为那些希望在有氧运动中加速全身脂肪燃烧的人提供了最佳方案。”
