Besides, when watching the livestream, I feel like I’m working out with friends, so that encourages me to keep going until the last minute,” added Wei, who claims to have shed 3.5 kilograms in just seven days, while also reaping the mental benefits of exercising with a more positive mood.
According to the 2022 Spring / Summer Sports and Fitness Consumption Trend Report, published by Jingdong Institute of Consumer and Industrial Development, the sales of yoga and dance products have achieved rapid growth since March. The sales of yoga stretchers, shoes, domes and bags increased by 68 percent, 816 percent, 110 percent and 104 percent, respectively.

23、Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity. Nicknames can also be funny.
Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is perfect without seeing the word "Hollywood" spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Emerson and his dad arrived at the information board at the trail head, they took a map to use on their hike. “I don’t ever know if we need a map,” said Emerson’s dad, “because we’ll be following the trail the entire time. Besides, we’re just going up a mountain, so as long as we keep walking up, we’ll reach the top.” They headed up the trail, excited for the view they were sure to see from the top.
After twenty minutes of hiking, Emerson saw a giant stone alongside the trail, and his eyes opened wide. He loved climbing on giant stones. He threw down his backpack and climbed up onto it.
As Emerson climbed, his dad told stories about spending a summer hiking in Alaska. “One time, we got lost in the wilderness for hours. Luckily, we climbed a hill and spotted our car from high up, so we were able to find our way back.”
Emerson and his dad continued up the steep trail, stopping every now and then to drink water and watch an animal. After a particularly steep section, the trail passed by an open field. Nestled between the tall trees were stones of all shapes and sizes. A giant one was deeper in the woods, far from the trail. It was too good to pass by, so Emerson insisted on hiking to it. Emerson’s dad didn’t want to stray (迷失) from the trail. “Please, Dad!” Emerson begged. Unwillingly, his dad agreed. Pushing aside branches and stepping over roots and rocks, they made their way to the big stone. After Emerson climbed for a while, he and his dad wanted to get back.
They hadn’t gone far when they realized they couldn’t find the trail. Emerson’s dad scanned the map and the surrounding forest, looking for signs of the trail, but he didn’t see any.
