pounds that follow? you are not alone. holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. many people are worried about their weight. with proper planning，though， it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner，regard eating as a time for tasting a variety of the foods. the idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. you dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness：dont skip meals. before you leave home，have a small，lowfat meal or snack. this may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.control portions. use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up.” you should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. once you have your “tasting” serving，move away from the buffet. doing so will make it less tempting to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. fill up beforehand on waterbased soup and raw fruit or vegetables. or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.stick to physical activity. dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. a 20minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.avoid highfat foods. dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. choose lean meats. fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. use lemon juice instead of dressing or butter.21which of the following is not true according to the passage?ayou had better turn your attention away from delicious foods.bdrinking some water of soup before eating

_ column.aholidays and festivals bhealth and fitnesscfashion and frontier dstudent times club banyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir（回忆录）of ralph w. tyler, who is one of the most famous men in american education. born in chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate ralph tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in south dakota and changed his major from medicine to education. graduate work at the university of chicago found him connected with honorable educators charles judd and w. w. charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. in 1927, he became a teacher of ohio state university where he further developed a new method of testing.tyler became well-known nationality in 1938, when he carried his work with the eight-year study from ohio state university to the university of chicago at the invitation of robert hutchins.tyler was the first director of the center for advanced study in the behavioral sciences at stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. there, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent（独立的）spirit in their work. although tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. he served on a long list of educational organizations in the united states and abroad. even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives（目标）that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.28. tyler is said to have never actually retired because _. a. he developed a new method of testing b. he called for free spirit in research c. he was still active in giving advice d. he still led the eight-year study cover the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. however, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.money can buy a degree of happiness. but once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. but the link between money and happiness is complex. in the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.“dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.in a research, professor alex michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health-rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距)。indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “the gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says michalos.another factor that has to do with happiness is age. old age may not be so bad“given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？”asks professor laura carstensen.in one survey, carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. she found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or theyre more realistic about their time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that dont.“people realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “a goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”29.according to the passage, the feeling of happiness .a.is determined partly by genesb.increases gradually with agec.has little to do with wealthd.is measured by desires30.some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .a.make them feel much betterb.provide chances to make friendsc.improse their social positiond.satisfy their professional interests31.aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more .a.optimistic b.successful c.practical d. emotional32.professor alex michalos found that people feel less happy if .a.the gap between reality and desire is biggerb.they have a stronger desire for friendshipc.their income is below their expectationd.the hope for good health is greaterdwhen jamie beondik saw a puppy getting beaten with a chain，he tried to help.what he got in return was a beating of his own and he had to go to hospital.the neighbors saw the fourmonthold black
