Yu dn’t need t eat; yu’re already bese（极为肥胖的）.” Then he walked ut laughing. Frm then n, I was unwilling t wear shrts until I was 30 years ld. Fr the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer rasting in lng pants.
But then I met Ragen Chastain. I culdn’t believe that this wman wh, like myself, weighed almst 300 punds, was s energetic and happy in her wn skin. I listened as she shared her wn jurney t recvery and self-lve. She talked abut hw amazing ur bdies are, simply because f the things they d every day— like breathing, pumping bld t every cell and walking.
Walking! I was suddenly aware f hw flish I’d been fr s lng.

I bught three pairs f shrts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
Next time anyne cmments n yur bdy in a negative（消极的）way, lk them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what yu see bthers yu s much, feel free t practice the ancient art f lking smewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s wn creatin, but I dn’t think she’ll mind if yu use it.

Travel is ne f the mst exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine hw Italian traveler Marc Pl must have felt when he fund himself n Chinese sil, seeing a way f life quite different frm anything he’d seen befre.
And hw great must it have been t listen t Zhang Qian when he returned t China frm his jurney thrugh Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading t the funding f the Silk Rad.
Sme peple have traveled all ver the wrld, and travel is a way f life t them. They perhaps knw
what t expect befre they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s fr the first time. Imagine a persn wh has always wanted t travel t the United States. Of curse, they’ve prbably seen the Statue f Liberty a thusand times n TV, and the White Huse, and all the ther famus sights. But nne f that wuld cmpare t the excitement f lking ut f the windw as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets f the real America cme int view.
Althugh travel is ften just fr recreatin, it’s als educatinal. We may nt knw that we are getting an educatin, but we still are.

peple usually make better preparatins fr their first trip.
The underlined wrd “recreatin” in Paragraph 4 prbably means .
A.fun.B. sight.C. learning.D. knwledge.
Accrding t the last tw paragraphs, the authr believes that .

traveling imprves peple’s cnfidence in their lifestyle.
freign jurneys can enrich peple’s knwledge f the wrld.

Anger is gd fr yu, as lng as yu cntrl it, accrding t new psychlgy research. A new study frm Carnegie Melln University shws anger may help peple reduce the negative effects f stress and help yu becme healthier.
“Here getting emtinal is nt bad fr yu if yu lk at the case f anger,” said Jennifer Lerner f Carnegie Melln. “The mre peple shw anger, the lwer their stress respnses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them t cunt back frm 6,200. They must say ut lud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them t cunt faster r ask them ther questins. If they made any mistakes, they had t restart frm the very beginning. Many students felt upset abut making s many mistakes r gt angry.
Lerner used a hidden vide camera and recrded all their facial expressins during the test. The researchers describe their reactins as fear, anger.
Other researchers recrded the students’ bld pressure, pulse and prductin f a high-stress hrmne(荷尔蒙) called crtisl. Peple whse faces shwed mre fear during the experiment had higher bld pressure and higher levels f the hrmne. Bth can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病),
heart disease, depressin and extra weight gain.
When peple feel fear, negative effects increase, but when they get angry, thse negatives g dwn, accrding t the study.
“Having that sense f anger leads peple t actually feel sme pwer in what therwise is a maddening (令人发狂的) situatin,” Lerner said.
Lerner previusly studied Americans’ emtinal respnse t the 9•11 terrrist attacks(9.11 恐怖袭击)
tw mnths after the incident. She fund peple wh reacted with anger were mre ptimistic. These peple are healthier cmpared with thse wh were frightened during the event. S in maddening situatins, anger is nt a bad thing t have. It’s a healthier respnse than fear.

C. By reducing high bld pressure.D. By taking the place f fear.

Advantages f fast fd
37 Eating fast fd helps wrking peple and students t get back t wrk as quickly as pssible. Besides, many lve the lk, smell and taste f it. Perhaps the greatest advantage is the price.

The greatest disadvantage f fast fd is the bad effect that it has n ne’s health. Many peple feel that fast fd is unhealthy because it cntains a lt f artificial ingredients(人造成分)．Sme even think that it is addictive(上瘾的) because f these ingredients. 39 Fast fd may cause verweight in the American ppulatin.

W:Well, he said he was brn and raised here,(16) s he must really lve this place. M: I knw. He
turned ut t be very cl.
W: At first, I thught he was really strange.(15))Remember the way he lked? His hair was really lng. He wre nthing but a clth arund his waist, but he spke English perfectly …
M: When I heard his name was Pa, I thught he was just anther traveler.(16)
W: Yeah, and he wuldn't say a wrd the whle way up the muntain! It felt very strange, but then I started t like the silence. I culd listen t the rainfrest birds and lk arund at all the extic plants better, because I wasn't distracted by talking. By the time we gt t the tp, I felt like we were n an island at the beginning f the wrld. I've never felt that way befre.
M: It was a very spiritual experience fr me, t. I think we shuld cme back here every year and g n the same hike again.
