【推荐1】There is a simple way to lose weight (减体重). And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a sports club. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you will become thin.
（1）Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲)forward until you feel sore in your back. It will bum about 10 calories(卡里路热量）
（2）Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
（3）An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
（4）Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phones, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit two and a half hours more on average (平均) each day than thin people. This skill is very important because standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use the skills, and you will lose weight successfully.

【推荐2】Your handshake is a part of your first impression (印象). Do you want your handshake to say good things about you? Here are some ways to help you learn how to shake hands correctly.

Know who to start. The person in a higher position or who is older should be the first one to reach out a hand. For example, if you are interviewed for a job, the interviewer should be the one to take the lead.

Don’t offer an unannounced handshake. If you offer someone your hand when they aren’t paying attention, they may not shake hands with you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t want to shake your hand. So start with a greeting to let others know that you’re here.

The handshake often lasts about 2 to 5 seconds. Most people don’t spend more time shaking hands. If the other person holds your hand for more than five seconds, politely withdraw (撤回) your hand.

Don’t show a sweaty (出汗的) hand. If you hand someone a sweaty hand, you may make them uncomfortable. Before shaking their hand, dry your own hand. If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.

Shake hands in an up-and-down direction. Don’t go back and forward or side to side. Don’t swing the other person’s hand more than three times. It may make the other person uncomfortable.

1. What should you do before shaking hands with others?

A．Hit them on the back.	B．Greet them politely to get their attention.
C．Ask them to wash their hands first.	D．Tell them how to shake hands.

2. The underlined word “it” refers to ________.
