The extreme hot weather often makes people restless with sweats in summer. Even though people are annoyed by it, experts suggest that summer is the best season to give out your body’s poisonous matters and refresh your energy.
One popular choice is hot-stone massage(按摩). Therapists(理疗师)use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or set them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will promote blood circulation and also help muscles relax, while sweating is also believed to be good for letting out the body’s poisonous factors.
Another popular choice is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body give out poisons and humidity(湿气) that build up during the last winter. Summer is the best season to form a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
It dates back to ancient times to use hot stones for treatment, but the modern hot-stone massage generally owes to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “La Stone Therapy”.
The therapy is earning a good fame and popularity with many people, especially those who are often seated in cool rooms with air-conditioners. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many illnesses, back pain included.

Iceland on Sunday honors the passing of Okjokull, as scientists warn that some 400 others on the subarctic island risk the same fate.
With a theme of fighting climate change, about 100 Icelanders have said farewell to what once was a glacier(冰川). Scientists said it was the first of Iceland’s glaciers to disappear because of climate change.
About 100 years ago, the glacier covered almost 6 square miles of a mountainside in western Iceland and measured more than 160 feet thick.
A plaque(匾)has been installed at the site of the former glacier, which reads “In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. ”
The plaque bears the words “A letter to the future, ” and is intended to raise awareness about the decline of glaciers and the effects of climate change.
In 1890, the glacier ice covered 16 square kilometres but by 2012, it measured just 0. 7 square kilometers, according to a report from the University of Iceland in 2017.
“We made the decision that this was no longer a living glacier, it was only dead ice, it was not moving, ” Oddur Sigurdsson, a glaciologist with the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told AFP.
According to a study published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)in April, nearly half of the world’s heritage sites could lose their glaciers by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate.
Sigurdsson said he feared “that nothing can be done to stop it”.
“The symbolic death of a glacier is a warning to us, and we need action, ” former Irish president Mary Robinson said.
“We see the consequences(后果)of the climate crisis, ” Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said. “We have no time to lose. ”
5. Why did the Icelanders say farewell to Okjokull?
A. They felt sorry for its disappearance.
B. They wanted to fight climate change.
C. It was the first Iceland’s glacier to disappear.
D. It was the most important glacier of Iceland.
6. What’s the purpose of the words on the plaque?
A. Icelanders should remember the missing glacier.
B. There will be no glaciers in Iceland in the future.
C. Icelanders want to make the site a tourist attraction.
D. People should realize the serious effects of climate change.
7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Nothing can be done to stop the situation.
B. We should take steps to stop the climate crisis.
C. The death of a glacier is a symbol of global warming.
D. By 2100 nearly half of the world’s glaciers will disappear.
8. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A missing glacier.
B. A farewell party for a glacier.
C. The effects of climate change.
D. Steps to take to prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
