million dollar companies. Do you really think these businesses achieved success with a one-time, fix-all
diet plan? No, they count on having most people return on a recurring basis; hence the term "yo-yo
dieting". A lot of diet plans can be very limiting. You are required to follow a certain meal plan, which
may consist of certain foods. Some plans are more exact and restrictive than others. Some diet companies even supply you with the actual meals. This means even more revenue(收入) for these businesses.
A well-balanced diet consists of carbohydrates that are low in sugar (they"re sometimes referred to as "good carbs"), proteins, and fats. (Yes, fats are important, too.) Fortunately for you, a well-balanced diet
is all that is needed to safely and effectively lose or maintain weight, depending upon your goals.
By educating yourself and having the willpower and commitment to make the proper food choices,
you"ll be well on your way toward achieving your weight-loss goals. After all, in order for a diet to be
really successful, it cannot be just a diet. You must develop and conform to(遵守) a lifestyle that revolves around smart food decisions. This doesn"t mean that you can never enjoy certain things that you crave(渴望), at least from time to time. We can all enjoy such things, but moderation is the key. A week"s worth of smart choices deserves a meal out at your favorite restaurant. It also gives you something to look forward
to and enjoy when you are saying "no" to those office donuts all week long.
Don"t get me wrong. It isn"t always going to be easy. But rarely does anything worth having come
easily. Liking what you see in the mirror, and being fit and healthy are definitely worth working hard for.
Anyone can achieve such goals. To break out the old Nike phrase —Just Do It.

our school board,wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly"s son,Jim,
had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a
great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid
with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties,
but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after
Jim finished high school,he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death,his mother
submitted this letter to the newspaper.
Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed instantly in a motorcycle
accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be
the last time.If I had only known I would have said,"Jim,I love you and I"m very proud of you."
I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the
many who loved him.I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile,the sound
of his laughter,his genuine love of people.
When you put all the good qualities on the scale and you try to balance all the irritating
phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud,the haircut that wasn"t to our liking,
the dirty socks under the bed,etc.,your angry feelings won"t amount to much.
I won"t get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear,but,other
parents,you do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear
if you knew it would be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the day he
died.He called me to say,"Hi,Mom! I just called to say I love you.Got to go to work.Bye."
He gave me something to treasure forever.
If there is any purpose at all to Jim"s death,maybe it is to make others appreciate more
of life and to have people,especially families,take the time to let each other know just how
much we care.
You may never have another chance.

us to answer.But remember,loving someone means accepting his or her success or failure.
Freda Bright says,"Only in opera do people die of love." It"s true.You really can"t love
somebody to death.I"ve known people to die from no love,but I"ve never known anyone
to be loved to death.We just can"t love one another enough.

That may seem a strange thing to say it.But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel
how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these
about the ball,you really see it.With your skin,you can feel better.For example,your fingers
can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water
on the back of your hand,too.You can even feel sounds against your skin.Have you ever
wanted to know why some people like very loud music?They must like to feel the sounds
of music.
All children soon learn what "Don"t touch!"means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep
on touching things as we grow up.In shops,we touch things we might buy:food,clothes.To see
something well,we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things,too.You know
this when you walk on warm sand,cool grass or a hard floor.All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to
feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,
the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to feel them!
Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.
Their signs say,"Do touch!"There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better,reach out and touch.Then you will really see!
B.you will learn how to reach out your hand
C.you can learn more about them
D.you can tell what colors they really are

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun. You may think people in
such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken
ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness. The truth is that fun and happiness
have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is
what we experience after an act. It is a deep, long-lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun
activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But
they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that
happiness has nothing to do with fun. They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy
cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir(回忆录)after
memoir, they expose the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism,
drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less
satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For
commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.
Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun
over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.
Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night" s sleep. I don"t know any parent who
would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the
most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more
hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new
car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.
And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were
so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
B. Success and satisfaction.
C. Marriage and commitment.
D. Entertainment and responsibility.
B. long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C. fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
B. It means commitment.
C. It affords greater fun.
D. It leads to raising children.
B. won"t place too much value on money
C. will seek for freedom
D. won"t devote himself to his family
