do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? you are not alone. holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. many people, however, are worried about the weight that

getting too excited before delicious foods. begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. a large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough. better not have high-fat foods. dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. if you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. they dont have fat content as cream and chocolate. dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. a 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off

marais, a historic area in paris. when i took him my shoes, he at first told me, “i havent time. take them to the other fellow on the main street. hell fix them for you right away.”but i had my eyes on his shop for a long time. just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, i knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “no.” i replied, “the other fellow cant do it well.”“the other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. they work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.my man saw i wouldnt give in, and he smiled. he wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “come back in a week.”i was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“see what i can do?” he said with pride. “only three of us in paris can do this kind of work.”when i got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. he was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.these are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. in such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.60. which of the following is true about the old cobbler?a. he was equipped with the best repairing tools.b. he was the only cobbler in the marais.c. he was proud of his skills.d. he was a native parisian.61. the sentence “he was something out of an ancient legend” implies that _.a. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like himb. it was difficult to communicate with this manc. the man was very stranged. the man was too old62. according to the author, many people work just to _.a. realize their abilities b. gain happinessc. make money d. gain respect63. this story wants to tell us that _.a. craftsmen make a lot of money b. whatever you do, do it well c. craftsmen need self-respect d. people are born equal cif you are having trouble falling asleep, you are in good company. about 65% of americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week, according to a recent study by the national sleep foundation. sleeping too little can lead to a higher risk of becoming fat and getting depressed(沮丧的). but before you go to a doctor for advice, it is worth examining your sleeping habits one more time. some of your favorite evening habits may have something to do with the sleeping problems.setting a bright alarm clockthe light of your bright alarm clock can prevent you from falling asleep. you can make your room as dark as possible. cover the bright numbers with a book or consider buying a small travel clock. your cellphone alarm may also do the trick. counting sheepwhen you just cant fall asleep, its useless to stay in bed to count sheep. if youve been trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes, the national sleep foundation suggests you get up to do some reading or watch tv for a while. such activities will make you sleepy. before you know it, youll be going back to bed really tired.exercising late at night?daytime workouts(锻炼) will keep you full of energy for hours. thats why you dont want to exercise within three hours of hitting the sack. fierce(剧烈的) physical activity raise your body temperature and pumps your energy levelboth are bad for a good nights sleep.64. what can we learn from the first sentence of the passage?a. its not good to fail to fall asleep at night.b. people in a good company often have sleeping problems.c. there are many people who have sleeping problems.d. you should find someone to talk to if you cant fall asleep. 65. the underlined part “hitting the sack” in the last paragraph means “_”. a. going back home b. going to bed c. going to the gym d. falling asleep66.

minutes. d. why watching tv and reading books make people sleepy.dvery far away from the city lived a poor farmer and his wife. in front of their house was a small dirt road. very few cars drove on

farmer.“yes,”said the man.“my car is stuck in this hole. can you help me?”“maybe,”said the farmer.“but im very busy.”“lf you help me, ill pay you,” said the man.“ok,”said the farmer. the farmer pulled the car out of the hole with his tractor, and the man paid him a lot of money. the man looked at the farmer and said,“you must. make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole day and night.”“actually, no,”said the farmer.“why not?”asked the man. “the hole is very deep, and a lot of people get stuck and ask for help. but i dont make money day and night because i dont pull cars out

very little about why we dream. 71 first, we have most of our dreams during rem (rapid eye movement) sleep. at this time, the brain is very active. second, everyone dreams even if we cannot remember doing so when we awaken. 72 while we are asleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways. 73 some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 74 dreams about a car or travel often represent feelings about your own life. dreams about teeth especially broken or loose ones may indicate stress and fear. dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape. researchers think peop
