填空题Bernice

填空题Glynis Davis: I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 21bs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year, but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn't make any difference—but the scales don't lie. Roz Juma: To be honest, I never weigh myself any more—I've learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You shouldn't be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it. Lesley Godwin: I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem—perhaps I didn't relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I've put on weight again... I find it humiliating and embarrassing. Ros Langford: Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I'd always been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet... I'm really good for a few days, then end up eating the children's leftovers or gorging on chocolate—my weakness. I'd like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older. Julia Minifie: I'm a compulsive eater. I can't control my urges and I really love cakes. When I'm slim I feel like a million dollars—and when I'm not I get very depressed. Over the years I'd tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I'd never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again... Certainly I will face the same problem in the future. Now match each of the women (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. A. I put on weight after I got married. B. The heavier the merrier. C. Facts speak louder than words. D. I like myself as I am. E. I'm constantly at war with my weight. F. Fame doesn't necessarily mean success. G. I think I'll be slim again.

填空题Lisa: From my point of view, successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems that it is very common that couples get divorced. It's a pity because marriage is of great importance. If people focus more on their marriages, there would be fewer divorce cases. Certain qualities make marriage a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. When partners understand this, more happy marriages can be maintained. Wendy: What I think that helps to maintain a successful marriage is that you should not only think of yourself. My husband and I have married happily for about ten years. His generous nature makes me want to do things for him. I understand that sometimes he would rather be reading, relaxing, or working on the car, but he only does these for himself when all the housework are done and the children have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cookies and try to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him. Catherine: My husband is also my best friend. I share most of my thoughts with him. It is easy for us to talk about most things, so we don't have a lot of secrets from each other. If my friends make him upset, he tells me about it. Things like that are easier to cope with when they're out in the open than when they're kept inside. Therefore, we have a very open, comfortable relationship. Arlene: I feel very sorry for my divorced friends. The continuity of their lives has been broken no matter how eagerly the former spouses try to keep in touch, and how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not get the custody of the kids. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives. They are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot. Keller: The first skill to maintain a happy marriage is not to be a person who imagines a husband is necessary to make you extremely complete. Those who cannot live without each other can hardly have a nice partnership. There is no room even in daydreams for idea that there is only one mate intended for another, since it is really stupid. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A Being unselfish is essential to maintain a marriage. B Lack of responsibility results in divorce. C Being able to communicate with each other makes our marriage successful. D The quality of independence and pride contributes to successful marriage. E Marriage is the result of extended love. F Divorced people often live an incomplete life. G Divorces can be avoided.

填空题Li Ming

填空题Mother Earth: Some cultures believe Mother Earth gave birth to everything that exists on our planet. In Greek mythology, a goddess named Gala was the great mother of all. She was said to have created the Earth and the Universe. Mother Nature is a little different. This term relates to the natural world as if it were a woman. It has been said that there is nothing as great as a mother"s love. Some mother expressions mean just that. The mother lode comes from mining. It means the place where the largest amount of gold, silver, or anything else of value can be found. But now, the term mother lode means a rich supply of anything. We often use the word "strike" with this expression. For example, you might say, "She just graduated college and struck the mother lode with her new job!" In other words, the woman"s new job is making her rich! The mother of all: When we call something "the mother of all," this means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: "We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you have to come!" Mama"s boy: Naturally, the word "mother" can be used to mean to give birth, even to something you cannot touch, such as an idea or wisdom. The saying "necessity is the mother of invention" means that when people really need to do something, they will find a way to do it. And "experience is the mother of wisdom" means that people learn from what happens to them. You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is "tied to his mother"s apron strings" is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a "mama"s boy". Both of these terms are even more insulting if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a huge mistake for a woman to marry a "mama"s boy" who is still "tied to his mother"s apron strings". Mother Goose: A show about mothers would not be complete without talking about the very popular but mysterious Mother Goose. The short poems and songs that Mother Goose supposedly wrote are very much a part of growing up in the United States. Real or not, you could say Mother Goose is the mother of all nursery rhyme writers. Now match each explanation (1-5) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. It has an insulting meaning when it refers to a man. B. It is used when referred to something best or biggest. C. It means the natural world. D. It used to mean places with biggest treasure. E. It means there is lack of anything. F. It means the person or God that creat everything in some culture. G. It is believed that it is the creator of children"s songs.

填空题 {{B}} Mr. Mike Smith:{{/B}} It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.{{B}} Mr. Tom Brown:{{/B}} It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.{{B}} Mr. Bob Davis:{{/B}} Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?{{B}} Mrs. Baker:{{/B}} My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don, t like their jobs, nobody's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then.{{B}} Miss Slater:{{/B}} Let's face it. It's neither here nor there, The electricity workers are in a strong position. Per- haps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.{{I}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{/I}}Statements[A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes Should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

填空题Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements A. A rich person is not necessarily happy. B. Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness. C. Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D. We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E. Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F. The environment is a source of happiness. G. Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.

填空题Florence"s Calcio in Costume: It has been played in the city since it was a Roman colony and it is said to be the ancestor of football. The game was originally Greek and was adopted by the Romans, who, in turn, introduced it in Florence. The ancient game has harsh rules and requires long training for the players. The rules were modified by the 1400"s, and for 2 centuries thereafter it was the pastime of nobles elegantly costumed in clothes with silver and gold trimmings. At the beginning of the 18th century the game lost its noble character and became the game of the people. Today this spectacular football game is played annually with much of antique glory revived.

Vendemmia del Nonno, Castagnole Monferrato Piedmont: The second Sunday of October, while the tangy odor of pressed grapes suffuses the streets of small towns all over Italy, this village enacts an authentic old fashioned grape harvest, a vendemmia del Nonno, the way grandfather used to do it.

填空题John: One of the main differences between a man"s and a woman"s body is that men are generally less capable of bending their body than women. You may think it is not important whether your body can bend easily or not, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to move more effectively. It can also help you to stay injury-free, relax your muscles and in turn reduce stress. Mike: Doing uninterrupted sessions may make you feel like you are doing the best thing for your body. But not giving yourself a break between workouts will mean that you will burn out, and do more harm than good. You should be taking a day off from exercising every two to three days as a minimum ideally. Taking a rest will mean that when you train again you can train harder. Paul: Lots of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to be better and achieve more, they have to perform all of their exercises at a super fast pace. Although it"s true for some exercises, for others this is just not the case. Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, you can increase the amount of time your muscles are tense for and increase the blood flow. David: Some men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness routine, but doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body, and by doing this you improve your core strength and your balance. It is often difficult for most men to try new things, if you don"t want to go into a fitness class on your own, take a friend with you. Helen: Women seem to be much better than men at taking a different approach to fitness. They engage physically and mentally with their fitness programs, which has many health benefits.

To take advantage of these health benefits, find what suits you best from among the many different fitness techniques that are out there.
