Unit 2 Section a Iron and the effects of exercise Warm-up Questions 1. Why do women often not have enough iron in their bodies? 2. If iron levels are low, what problems can women experience? 3. What can you eat to get enough iron in your daily meals? Related Information 现代女性健美标准 社会发展到今天,无论是生产、生活还是审美,都要求现代女性应该是结实精 干、富有区别于男子的曲线美,既不失女性的妩媚,又足以担起社会责任,从体型来 说,现代女性是以“健美匀称”为标准, 除了要符合上述一般人应具备的健康标准之外,还应该具备以下标准,才能符合 现代的健美要求。 骨骼匀称、适度的骨骼应是站立时,头、颈、躯干和脚的纵轴线在一垂线上; 肩稍宽,腰椎、臀骨、腿骨发育良好,无畸形;头、躯干、四肢的比例及头、颈、胸 的联结适度;上下身比例符合“黄金分割”定律,即以肚脐为界,上下身之比为五比 八。若是身高160厘米,体重和其他各部位较理想的标准是:体重50公斤左右,肩宽 36厘米至38厘米,胸围84厘米至86厘米,腰围60厘米至62厘米,臀围86厘米至 88厘米 肌肉肌肉健美表现在富有弹性和显示出人体形态的一种协调,过胖、过瘦、 臃肿松软或肩、臂、胸部细小无力,以及由于某原因造成身体某部分肌肉过于瘦弱或 过于发达,都不能称为肌肉美。 肤色肤色能反映人的精神面貌,与人的气质有较多的联系。我们一般对肤色 美的认同标准是红润而有光泽。就全球而言,不强求以某一种肤色为标准,但以比较 细腻为好。 女性饮食补铁有误区 中南大学湘雅医学院医学博士袁小瑜 世界卫生组织的调查表明,大约有50%的女童、20%的成年女性、40%的孕妇 会发生缺铁性贫血。因为女性的生理特点决定了女性易发生贫血。但是女性在饮食方 面存在一些认识误区和行为习惯,也是导致缺铁性贫血的重要原因 误区一:肉食损害健康部分女性受媒体广告的误导,只注重植物性食品的保健功 效,导致富含铁元素的动物性食品摄入过少。实际上,动物性食物不仅含铁丰富,其 吸收率也髙,达25%。而植物性食物中的铁元素受食物中所含的植酸盐、草酸盐等的 干扰,吸收率很低,约为3%。因此,忌肉容易引起缺铁性贫血

误区二:吃鸡蛋喝牛奶营养足够牛奶的铁含量很低,且吸收率只有10%。鸡蛋中 的某些蛋白质还会抑制铁质的吸收。例如,用牛奶喂养的婴幼儿,如果忽视添加辅食, 常会引起缺铁性贫血,即“牛奶性贫血”。因此,牛奶鸡蛋虽然营养丰富,但要依赖 它们来补充铁质则不足取。 误区三:蔬菜水果无益补铁许多人不知道多吃蔬菜、水果对补铁也是有好处的。 这是因为蔬菜水果中富含维生素C、柠檬酸及苹果酸,这类有机酸可与铁形成络合物, 从而增加铁在肠道内的溶解度,有利于铁的吸收 误区四:嗜饮咖啡与茶对女性来说,过量地饮用咖啡和茶有可能导致缺铁性贫血。 这是因为茶叶中的鞣酸和咖啡中的多酚类物质可以与铁形成难以溶解的盐类,抑制铁 质吸收。因此,女性饮用咖啡和茶应该适可而止,一天1~2杯足矣。 当然,除了营养因素以外,缺铁性贫血还可能由疾病引起。例如痔疮、肿瘤、消 化道溃疡、长期服用阿司匹林等。所以,发生了贫血,要及时到医院就诊,以明确诊 断,正确治疗。 Text Structure Analysis The essay can be structurally divided into three parts Part 1: This part consists of 3 paragraphs, from Paragraph I to Paragraph 3. The central topic is hat exercise, even moderate exercise, may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women. Then three groups of people are mentioned as suffering from iron deficiency: endurance athletes, women starters of a program of moderate exercise showing evidence of iron loss and new exercisers with the normal diet showing a decrease in iron levels Part 2: This part is made up of 3 paragraphs, from Paragraph 4 to Paragraph 6. Paragraph 4 tells us that iron deficiency is very common among women and the general causes for it. Paragraph 5 deals with one specific cause: the average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily allowance for iron and any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency. Paragraph 6 deals with another specific cause: exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms Part 3: This part is made up of 6 paragraphs, from Paragraph 7 to Paragraph 12 Paragraphs 7 and 8 tell us there are three stages of iron deficiency and that if you're stage 3, it means your iron reserves go to zero and you're in trouble. Paragraph 9 recommends one way to heck the amount of iron storage in the blood Paragraphs 10 to 12 suggest specific ways to correct iron deficiency in blood. Paragraph 10 is about adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, Paragraph ll about selecting food with"iron-added"labels, cooking food in iron pans and avoiding coffee or tea with meals and Paragraph 12 about paying attention to warning signs of iron deficiency before iron reserves are gone Word Stud 1. endurance n.忍耐(力),持久(力),耐久(性) Long distance runners need great endurance 长跑运动员需要有很大的耐力 A marathon tests a runner's endurance
