问答题61)Back in my early 20s. when "sensible" wasn't part of my weight-loss vocabulary., I tried a diet that was limited to just a few "healthy" foods. Three weeks into it, after religiously adhering to a regimen of salads and meats, I had nearly reached my goal of losing 8 pounds. 62) But my progress wasn't as sweet as I exnected. Instead of celebrating my emerging figure. I was obsessed with what I couldn't eat. Warm, crusty bread. Noodles smothered in red sauce. Chocolates packed with almonds. One night I abandoned the diet and gorged on every food I'd been missing. Over the next two weeks, I ate more than ever. No surprise that I quickly regained 8 pounds, and put on 2 more. 63) It sounds like the old diet-binge cycle that we've all heard about so often. But many weight-loss experts are starting to think about that cycle in a new. more positive way. The answer for long-term weight control, they say, may be just the opposite of restriction: it may simply be eating a greater variety of foods than ever. My brazen (and unfortunate) act of indulgence was the direct effect of a boring, restrictive diet, suggests Kathy Hubbert, coordinator of the EatRight Weight Management program at the University. of Alabama, Birmingham. "If you tell someone they cannot have, say, a piece of cheesecake, then that is the first thing they want to have," says Hubbert. "And then when they eat that piece of cheesecake, they say, 'Oh, now I've blown it, so I might as well blow it every day.'" At Tufts University in Boston, researchers studied 71 healthy men and women aged 20 to 80 years who provided detailed reports of everything they ate for six months. 64) People who routinely ate a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains tended to be lean. The researchers found that when people eat a variety of desirable foods, especially vegetables, they eat fewer nutrient-poor, calorie-dense foods such as cookies, candy, and chips. Overall, they consume fewer calories without consciously restricting their intake. They are also much more likely to consume the full range of vitamins and minerals they need. 65) Nutrition studies, including one conducted by scientists at the Department of Agriculture. which analyzed the dietary records of 3.701 people representing a cross section of the US population, regularly find that individuals who eat different foods from each of the major food groups have the healthiest diets.

I have noticed that children are not even being school in
social graces. At a Sunday brunch, a clown was making balloon animals for the
children. 61) {{U}}My friend's daughter, Sarah, stood by me waiting for her turn.
{{/U}}The children grabbed their balloons one by one and ran. 62) {{U}}I was the
only adult present who prompted "What do you say" when the clown handed Sarah
her balloon. The clown beamed at us, grateful he had actually been acknowledged.
{{/U}} I don't blame the children, however. They emulate what they
see. 63) {{U}}And what they are seeing is a society focused solely on acquisition
-- be it another drink in a restaurant or a space on a crowded freeway --
without ever stopping to thank the source. {{/U}} Rude language is
now so common that it is accepted behavior. And I'm not talking about the
obviously blue vocabulary in books and movies, or that damn is considered
harmless compared to what else has become acceptable. I'm referring to
inconsiderate word choice. For example, while discussing a story idea with an
editor, a very young stall member asked if I was the "chick" who had called for
information. I said nothing, knowing that a show of displeasure would have
labeled me oversensitive rather than him rude. 64) {{U}}Most
people today feel proud to have built a society that treats the races, sexes,
and economic classes more equally ever before. And, yes, we have made real
strides in these areas. {{/U}}But isn't it ironic that these same people don't
find it necessary to say "Excuse me" to an older couple walking very slowly in
front of them, before zooming around the couple? It's not
necessary to provide yet another analysis of the disintegration of the family or
the breakdown of the social fabric or the price of democracy to explain what has
happened to our society. The matter at hand is simply to thank the next person
who provides a helping hand when needed. In a crowded world, manners are very
important. Small, friendly human interactions help ease the everyday stress of
having to hurry, trying to squeeze onto a crowded thoroughfare, standing in one
more line to deal with a clerk of some kind, or calling a customer service
representative for the third time about a mistake on a bill. Manners make us
aware that everything we have derives from a source. 65) {{U}}Are we really so
pressured that we cannot stop to observe simple courtesy? {{/U}}

Sunlight is free. Turning it into electricity produces no greenhouse gases and the process is getting cheaper every year. These facts suggest solar power ought soon to be a big part of the world's energy mix. However, it is unavailable at night and is most efficiently generated in deserts. Can these problems be overcome? Or is solar power forever destined to be financially aided greenwash that is applied superficially to fossil-fuel-based economies to make them seem more environ. mentally friendly than they really are?
This motion depends on whether the world needs saving, and if so, from what?

{{U}}Environmentalists and activists accused the world's rich nations of
managing a global conference on genetically modified foods to calm public
fears.{{/U}} Activists said a three-day Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development conference on GM foods which began on Monday in Scotland was little
more than an apology for the global biotechnology industry. A
handful of environmental grofips such as Green Peace and Friends of the Earth
were invited to the conference, as well as one scientist known for his
opposition to GM foods and an outspoken consumer rights group.
(62) {{U}}But activists said that was not enough to counter dozens of
representatives from biotechnology companies and scientists keen to promote
research and commercialization of GM crops and foods.{{/U}} (63)
{{U}}"The overall weight of the conference is skewed toward scientists and
industry, officials who are in favor of GM foods.{{/U}}" Robin Harper. a Green
Party member of the new Scottish Parliament, told a news conference.
Activists, holding a separate, smaller gathering about GM foods in offices
of the new Scottish parliament, said US and British regulators were not
listening seriously enough to fears about GM foods. (64){{U}} The
U. S-based Alliance for Bio-Integrity, a consumer activist group, said a 1998
lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration to obtain mandatory testing
of all GM foods had exposed serious doubts among scientists within the FDA that
GM foods were as safe as their conventional counterparts.{{/U}}
"People are eating these foods daily. We need to face facts that there are
a lot of scientists unsure about the safety of GM foods and we need to
thoroughly test these products before they are approved." Steven Dmker,
coordinator of the lawsuit, told the news conference. (65)
{{U}}The FDA said its scientists who questioned the safety, of GM foods were doing
their job as part of the agency's regulatory_ process, and that their views were
taken into account in the FDA's final policy.{{/U}} Although it is
confident GM foods widely used in the US are safe, the FDA is considering the
labeling of GM foods after three public consultations, said James Maryanski,
biotechnology coordinator at the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition.
