   A new study shows women need 60 minutes to exercise a day to stop weight increasing if they have a normal diet.

   The findings suggest women need more exercise than the current federal guidelines (联邦指南) of 150 minutes a week,or 30 minutes five days a week.

   The study is being published in the March 24/31 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

   “I don't want people to throw up their hands and say,I can't do it ,” said Dr Min Lee,the study's lead researcher.

   Women at a normal weight who have a normal diet can beat middle-age weight gain by working out intensely (高强度) for 30 minutes a day,whether by running,cycling,swimming laps or working out at a gym. Weight gain can also be prevented with 60 minutes of moderate activity,such as walking,a leisurely bike ride or playing catch.

   Overall,women gained an average of 5. 7 pounds in the study. However,those who were of normal weight,kept their weight if they exercised for 60 minutes a day. Women who exercised less generally gained weight. Dr Lee said for overweight women,60 minutes of exercise a day wasn’t enough to keep weight,suggesting cutting the calories (热量) .

阅读下面短文,根据要求完成下列各题。

   Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories,he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

   Born in 1881 to a wealthy family,Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893,however,his grandfather,a senior government official,was put into prison for taking money. At the same time,his father became badly ill. From then on,his family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

   By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899,he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese students magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

   After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

   Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future. In 1927,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this,the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He had to write his articles using false names.

   Since his death in 1936,Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown. Today,many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.[2013 广东广州改编]

1. What greatly influenced Lu Xun's writing according to the passage?

2. According to the passage,why was Lu Xun^ story Diary of a Madman so popular?

3. What does the underlined word “This” mean?

4. What did Lu Xun mainly write after moving to Shanghai?
