Though a woman might appear to be happy, she may be a victim of violence. And though a man may appear to be gentle, he might not actually be. Every year estimates reange from 3.4 million acts of violence against a wife or girlfriend to 3.9 million in this small country.This is bad news. Unfortunately, there is more. Nearly one-third of women reported being beaten by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Some of this violence resulted in injuries that required a doctors case. Thirty-seven percent of women who sought emergency room treatment for violence-related injuries in 2005 were injured by their own husbands or boyfriends. Whats more, twenty-six percent of all female murder victims in 2006 were killed by their partners.What this means is that we as a society must look for the sighns of violence. Do you know someone who often gives poor excuses for being hurt? Maybe you should talk woht her about violence. Often a woman will stay in a violent relationship because she believes her husband or boyfriend loves her. But she should know that violence does not equal love.1. according to the passage, what is difficult?2. how many women are beaten by a husband or boyfriend per year?3. what can we infer from this passage?4. what percentage of female murder victims were killed by a partner in 2006?5. why does a woman often choose to stay in a violent relationship?Who doesnt love being in love?

And he always thinks youre (3)beautiful, even without makeup.Scientists have long been keen to prove that love gives us health (4)benefits too. Researchers cant say for sure that a lover is more important than a loving family or warm friendship when it comes to (5)wellness. But hey are learning more about how a romantic partner makes us stronger, with health gains that (6)range from faster healing and better control over illnesses to living longer.The benefits of love are (7)explicit and measureable.

The National Love and Health Study (8)has been tracking more than a million subjects since 1979. the study shows that married people live longer, (9)have fewer heart attacks and lower cancer rates, and even get pneumonia less frequently than singles.

You make choices about the foods you eat, just as you make choices about getting fresh air, exercise, and rest. And if you are like most people, you are making bad choices, particularly in your diet. Id like to offer some suggestions here. Nowadays, health experts are warning against fats and proteins. Though these experts are right in telling you to be careful about the foods you eat, they are wrong in advising you to stay away from fats and proteins. Both of these things serve important functions in the body. Fats provide energy, and they are especially useful because they can be stored in the body for future use. Proteins are required for growth needs and for defending the body against disease. It is equally important that they are included in your diet too.A good diet is one that includes some fats and proteins but not too much. You should already be eating five servings of vegetables and four servings of fruits ever day. So be sure to include two servings of something high in protein and one or two servings of something rich in fat into your diet. Then you will be on the road to great health!1.

So what should old people do to 7)combat these changes?They should eat a balanced diet not too much fat and chicken or fish should be eaten rather than eggs or beef. We all know this. But also, old people should eat more 8) high-fiber and vitamin-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits.Old people 9) should give up smoking if they havent already done so.

Some parents and doctors are concerned about the idea of beauty that is simply impossible. Young girls will stop from eating, exercise too much, and still they cannot match up with Barbie.Barbie also seems to be living in a mostly white world. Barbie is white and her boyfriend is white.
