26、As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and eat only as much as you need.
Keep away from low-nutrition snacks
That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty or sugary snacks you eat between meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social events or as a special treat.
Leave half an hour between main course and dessert
Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.
Make yours a small helping
Put an end to super-sized portions. You won’t be missing out—today’s small was the medium or large of a few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly, enjoying the flavors. Before you know it, small will feel just right. What’s more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.
Distract yourself
When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you’re even hungry, do something else for 20 minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes’ time and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed.
【1】Which way suits you better if you tend to order a large portion of food?
A.Distract yourself.
B.Make yours a small helping.
C.Keep away from low-nutrition snacks.
D.Leave half an hour between main course and dessert.
【2】Why should you have a break between main course and dessert?
A.To give people time to chat.
B.To have a good appetite for sweet stuff.
C.To reduce appetite for dessert.
D.To give the host time to remove your plate.
【3】When you find yourself pursuing for food, what should you do?
A.Eat some biscuits.
B.Eat some sugary snacks.
C.Have some soft drinks.
D.Listen to a lovely melody.
27、Hearing the news that the Shenzhou Ⅷ manned spacecraft was about to return to Earth, Pan Xue, a Miao ethnic group girl, decided to make an outer space-themed handicraft(手工艺品)with teachers and students from a local batik(蜡染)workshop to express appreciation and respect to Chinese astronauts.
Pan has been living in a village in Guizhou province since 2020, after graduating from university. After studying related techniques, she becomes a silversmith.
In order to make an extremely beautiful handicraft, Pan took every step seriously. She spent a lot of time discussing the fabric(布料)with a batik teacher, as they just wanted to make sure the cloth would be smooth enough. Finally, after many trials and processes, they chose a suitable cloth to draw over 1,000 stars.
When making the stars, Pan painted some silver(银)powder on the surface of woods, then carved(雕刻)them as bark(树皮). She also used several silver bars and filaments(细丝)to make branches, and silver sheets to make about 100 hanging stars. This fine artwork took about five days, in which the tree looks dreamy against the background of the starry sky.
“This tree is named longevity tree, carrying the implication of hope, just like China’s fast growing space industry,” said Pan. Pan felt proud to make a “starry sky” with their ethnic group’s special handicraft, and this handicraft also presents Chinese ethnic culture to the world.
【1】Why did Pan want to make an outer space-themed handicraft?
A.To learn about manned spacecraft.
B.To show her respect to Chinese astronauts.
C.To make sure she has mastered the technique.
D.To teach her students how to make a handicraft.
【2】What does the underlined word “silversmith” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.A person who is fond of silver.
B.A person who wins a silver medal.
C.A person who makes thing out of silver.
D.A person who has a good relationship with Smith.
【3】Which of the following best describes Pan Xue?
A.Careful and hardworking.
B.Bad-tempered but smart.
C.Childish and humorous.
D.Dreamy and not practical.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Local Batik Workshop
B.A Miao Ethnic Group Girl
C.Shenzhou Ⅷ Spacecraft
D.A Starry Sky Handicraft
28、 We've all heard the quote, “Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we aren't careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.
Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery. In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.
The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications(并发症) from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.
I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient. The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how she's feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain. The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident. She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.
Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.
We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night. We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.
This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant. To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience. I thank death for very few things. The gift of empathy for my fellow man, and understanding that we all suffer in ways that aren't always visible, are presents from death that I will always be grateful for.
Always take the time to be kind. Even when you're suffering with your own pain. And don't assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the battles someone else is fighting.
