Good wages. Easy job. Good Wages. Easy. When I got to the place, I saw a series of large 41 half filled with water. Out of them stuck the necks of many bottles of various 42 and shapes. There were a number of workers sitting on small wooden benches 43 these basins. All had their 44 in the water of the basin, the left hand holding a 45 and the thumb nail（指甲）of the right hand 46 the labels（标签）on it. I sat down on a 47 beside one of the basins and started to work on one bottle. As the minutes went by, I noticed that the 48 of the water started to 49 from my hand to my body. But 50 still, the thumb of my right hand was 51 by the minute into a full-blown tomato-colored finger. A numb（麻木）pain began to be felt 52 from my right thumb. Then I began to feel as if the pain was coming from a finger bigger than all my body. After three hours of this, I told the manager Id 53 . He figured that I had 54 69 cents at 23 cents an hour.

Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they have a variety of styles, patterns, materials, and colors. But they are eventually the biggest deception（欺骗）that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels（高跟鞋）a womans worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). Fashion has led women to believe that they are more beautiful or fashionable for wearing heels, but in reality, heels cause troubles. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or buy them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.To be fair, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating （给通气）lawns（草坪）. Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care expert, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all the dirt lying around. Second, heels are quite useful for defending against oncoming enemies by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion items. Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to ones physical health. Talk to any podiatrist（足病医生）, and you will hear that most of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as misshapen feet and torn toenails. The risk of serious back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer. Women wearing heels may get a heel caught in a narrow sidewalk gap and be thrown to the ground and possibly break a nose, back, or neck. And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her aching feet.67. Despite the disadvantages of high heels, women are still crazy about them because of _.A. the different uses of high heels B. their purpose to show off their wealthC. the rich variety of high heel styles D. their wish to improve their appearance68. Why does the writer use the underlined expression “those babies” (Paragraph 2) to refer to high heels?A. To show their small size. B. To show their colorful appearance. C. To show womens love for them. D. To show they are strong.69. The writers chief argument against high heels is that they _. A. are a threat to lawns B. are harmful to womens health C. will not always make women beautifulD. are not useful as a weapon of defense70. It can be inferred from the passage that women should _. A. see through the very nature of fashion B. refuse to buy the products of the fashion industry C. go to a podiatrist regularly for advice D. avoid following fashion too closelyYou probably already know that you can lose weight by taking less food. But if youre an emotional eater, youll still turn to food if you dont deal with your feelings.What Is Emotional Eating?Basically, emotional eating is eating for reasons other than hunger. In other words, you reach for food not because your body tells you it needs food but because your emotions need to be satisfied. Instead of the gradual urge you get when youre physically hungry, emotional eating strikes you suddenly. Instead of filling the empty space with healthy choices, emotional eaters use food for comfort. For women, its usually ice cream or chocolate, while men reach for steak and French fries.Emotional Eating Leaves You Feeling GuiltyBesides blowing up your stomach, emotional eating does harm to your mind. When you eat for physical reasons, you dont feel guilty. But when you eat food just because youre feeding your emotions, you feel guilty afterward.Recognizing the “Red Lights” with “HALT”When youre lured（诱惑）into emotional eating, please remember to HALT. Besides being reminded to stop before you do any damage, remember what HALT represents.“H” is for hungrySometimes you can feel physical hunger when youre on the point of an emotional eating. But rather than reaching for those comfort foods rich in fat and sugar, make better choices such as proteins, fruits and vegetables.“A” is for anxiousIts easy to fall into emotional eating when youre worried and tense. Do whatever is effective to calm down. Call a friend, pray, or keep a record of your feelings. Just dont reach for food.“L” is for lonelyToo often emotional eaters use food for companionship. Instead of comforting yourself with food, join a group of caring people who understand your problem. “T” is for tiredWhen tired, either physically or emotionally, emotional eaters turn to food. Instead, get some rest or eat something good for you.Breaking the AddictionOften emotional eaters arent even aware that theyre overeating because something is troubling them. Whenever you feel the desire to eat out of your emotions, replace it with helpful activities such as calling a friend, walking your dog, gardening or exercising. Most importantly, find out the reason(s) why you overeat. You wont break your food add
