21、check what you have written.Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.

22、in interest, and more groups and organisations with different beliefs. U U 3 /U /U, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite sim

23、ilar in many ways, there are fewer U U 4 /U /Ufor people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be U U 5 /U /U, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more U U

But a new research describes Americans as U U 1 /U /U, believing the nation is in decline and that quality of life for future generations may be U U 2

29、 /U /Uthan it is today.Defining the American Dream is not easy, although four definitions dominate peoples U U 3 /U /Uof what it means to them, according to researchers at the Xavier Universitys Institute for Politics and the American Dream: opportunity, freedom, family and financial success.

36、be stubbornly sticking around.BGetting rid of your belly bulge is important for more than just vanitys sake. Excess abdominal fat-particularly visceral fat (内脏脂肪), the kind that surrounds your organs and puffs your stomach into a “beer gut“, is a predictor of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin

37、resistance, and some cancers. If diet and exercise havent done much to reduce your pooch, then your hormones, your age, and other genetic factors may be the reason why. Read on for 11 possible reasons why your belly fat wont budge.Youre getting olderCAs you get older, your body changes how it gains

38、and loses weight. Both men and women experience a declining metabolic rate, or the number of calories the body needs to function normally. On top of that, women have to deal with menopause (更年期). “If women gain weight after menopause, its more likely to be in their bellies,“ says Michael Jensen, MD,

39、 professor of medicine in the Mayo Clinics endocrinology (内分泌学) division. In menopause, production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone slows down. Meanwhile, testosterone (睾丸素) levels also start to drop, but at a slower rate. This shift in hormones causes women to hold onto weight in their bel

Read on.Youre doing the wrong workoutDA daily run or Spin class is great for your heart, but cardio workouts alone wont do much for your waist. “You need to do a combination of weights and cardiovascular training,“ says Sangeeta Kashyap, MD, an endocr

41、inologist at Cleveland Clinic. Strength training increases muscle mass, which sets your body up to burn more fat. “Muscle burns more calories than fat, and therefore you naturally burn more calories throughout the day by having more muscle,“ says Kate Patton, a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clin

Patton recommends 250 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 minutes of high-intensity exercise a week.Youre eating too many processed foodsE“Refined grains like white bread, crackers, and chips, as well as refined sugars in sweetened drinks and desserts increase inflammation (炎症) in our

43、bodies,“ says Patton. “Belly fat is associated with inflammation, so eating too many processed foods will hinder your ability to lose belly fat.“ Natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are full of antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties and may therefore actually preve

44、nt belly fat, Patton says.Youre eating the wrong fatsFThe body doesnt react to all fats in the same way. Research correlates high intake of saturated fat (the kind in meat and dairy) to increased visceral fat, says Patton. On the other hand, monounsaturated fats (the kind in olive oil and avocados)

45、and specific types of polyunsaturated fats (mainly omega-3s, found in walnuts, sunflower seeds, and fatty fish like salmon) have anti-inflammatory effects in the body, and if eaten in proper portions may do your body good. But Patton warns that eating too much fat of any kind increases your calorie
