Someone was painting a shop front, so there was a ladder. Grandmother stopped me from walking under it and said I must walk around it.

Presents are placed around the childs bed while he/she is sleeping, so he/she will see them at once upon awakening.Holland Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years.

Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume (消耗) more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat. Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately (精确地).Exercise is boring Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced and varied (各种的) program thats fun as well as progressive (不断进步的). If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different mute. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. No pain, no gain Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something is wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury (伤害). You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear quickly. If they dont, rest and ask for medical advice.66. What does the writer think about being fat? A. It is the family genes that make people fat. B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.
