This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you'll 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 burn about 10calories(热量单位:卡路里).
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 food. 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 phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average(平均)two and a half hours more each day than thin people.

It’s not a good habit to eat when you are watching TV. You may put too much into your mouth. It will make you fat and is not good for your health. If you have the habit and would like to give it up, here are some tips to help you.
Eat at the kitchen table
It’s fine to have a snack while watching TV, but take a break and move over to the table to have your snack, and then come back to the TV.
Set limits(限制)
It can be helpful to think ahead and set limits. Try to eat just one cup of popcorn (not the whole bag) and only watch one or two episodes(剧集) of your show.
Choose wisely
If you want to eat snacks in the evening hours, choose something that’s not sugary or caffeinated (含咖啡因的).
Give your hands something to do
Find an activity that will keep your hands busy while you’re watching TV, like cleaning the house or doing exercise.
Invite a friend
Sometimes watching TV with other people can be helpful because we don’t eat that much when we’re with someone else.

Many people like to watch others play games. They often buy tickets or turn on their TV to watch the games when they have time. And often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins or plays very well.

【推荐3】When we exercise hard, we burn fat. But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone comes and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.
Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery (迷). “The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed (呼吸) out as CO2. It goes into the air.” says the study.
Scientists followed the atoms (原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms, becomes water and leaves the body.
“None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2 we breathe out.” said the study’s lead expert.
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think.
Breathing more than the body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy (眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.
So how can people lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast. This can help lose 240g of CO2.

【推荐1】In places of Asia, especially China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks. Chopsticks are two long thin tapered (锥形的) pieces of wood. Bamboo is the most material, but they are also be made of all kinds wood, as well as plastic, animal bone, ivory (象牙质), metal, coral (珊瑚) and so on.
Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Chopsticks can be covered with artwork. They might be made of gold and have Chinese calligraphy (书法) on them. A child’s plastic set of chopsticks might have a cartoon character, such as Mickey Mouse.
The Chinese have been using chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, using twigs (小树枝) to remove it. Over time, as population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Small amount of food could be eaten without knives and so the twigs gradually turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great scholar Confucius, who lived from about 551 to 479 B. C. affected the development of chopsticks. As a vegetarian, Confucius believed knives were too violent to use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and central Asia, most people have traditionally eaten with their hands.

I’m happy as a clam(蛤).
Think of a clam. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn’t it?

I wouldn’t touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole.

【推荐1】Like many village police stations in England, the building was Sergeant Keddle’s house, too. The front room was his office. We rang and waited.
“Hello, boys, said the old policeman when he opened the door.” “What can I do for you?”
“We’d like to talk to you, please, Sergeant Keddle,” I said.
“Right, boys. Come in, then,” he answered, and showed us into his office. We sat on two chairs in front of his desk while he went and sat behind it.
“So what’s the problem?” he asked.
And we told him everything we knew. We showed him our records, maps, photographs. And then we told him of our plan for the evening.
He stood up and walked up and down in front of the window for a minute or so, then he turned around and looked at us both.
“It’s very irregular (不合规范的), you know,” he said. “And if anything goes wrong we could all be in trouble, especially me.”
“But, Sergeant Keddle,” Mike said. “We’ve got everything perfectly planned and ready. Nothing will go wrong, and when we catch Roberts you’ll get nothing but praise for your good work.”
“Please, Sergeant Keddle,” I added. “Catch this man and get him convicted (给某人定罪) so he can’t steal any more eggs.”
He thought for a while longer, and then suddenly said: “Right, boys. Let’s do it.”
“Thank you, Sergeant Keddle,” we both said together, very relieved (宽慰的).
“Let’s go over all the arrangements,” he said, “But first, give me the numbers of the two vehicles so that I can have them checked.”
He phoned up the County Police Headquarters and asked them to call him back with details. We sat and discussed everything: where we were going to meet, that we would have to be quiet and that we shouldn’t put the lights on until the right moment. We asked Sergeant Keddle to come in his own car rather than the police car and told him where to park.
While we were talking, the information came through about the cars. As expected the white van belonged to Steve Roberts, and we found out the name of the climbers: Bill Henderson from Leicester.
“That’s good,” said the policeman. “We know exactly who they are and where they’re from. That gives us a big advantage.”
We talked some more, and went over everything one last time. Then we arranged to meet Sergeant Keddle at nine o’clock that evening and we left. Mike and I cycled back to his house and had something to eat.
1. How does the policeman feel about their plan at first?A.Doubtful. | B.Surprised. | C.Angry. | D.Unhappy. |

【推荐2】Life is like a journey. On the way,we have happiness and sadness. When we get older,we look back and wish that we have made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets?
Make better plans. If you start to do something,you'd better make plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life. You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. "Thank you" can bring a smile to someone's face. Learn to say "sorry" and don't be angry with others.
Find the right friend. A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So,you need to deliberate if he or she is good enough to be your friend. Good friends will always make your ideas better. When you get into trouble, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.
Never fear failure. Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure,because failure is not the end f the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
Life is good. We don't have to live in our past,but we do hope that we can plan better,live better,and work better when we have the chance to do so.
