This is not a diet. Its a simple way to lose weight. And you dont even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that lean people have. Keep them， and youll become thin.

Oct. 15th was International White Cane Safety Day. You may have never heard of it， but it was a day to remember for Peng Baier， 17， of Nanjing Foreign Language School. After school that day， he visited his local Disabled Persons， Federation. He wanted to know about the sales and feedback of his newly published book， How to Help a Disabled Person.

Since he lives with his disabled grandparents， he understands that life can be hard for this group of people. Peng decided to write the book because he wanted to create a better life for disabled people in China.

“Crossing the street is a big problem for them，” Peng said. “Speeding cars， people walking in a hurry， bikes on the sidewalk for the blind—accidents can happen everywhere. Thats why we hardly ever see disabled people on the street， even though there are millions of disabled people in China.”

Pengs book with pictures is easy to understand. It is a guide to the right and wrong ways to treat disabled people.

The teenager had 2，000 copies of his book printed. With the help of the Disabled Persons， Federation， he gave them to the disabled community.

“The book is bilingual， so foreigners can also use it，” said Peng.

Peng put great effort into the book. For example， he interviewed many disabled people to get first-hand materials. He also studied textbooks from different schools for the disabled. Peng finally completed his handbook， but he still had the problem of getting it printed.

How does a high school student raise money needed for that？

With a smile， Peng said how he went about it， “I visited three local companies， dressed up in a suit and tie. I was lucky. The companies were warm-hearted and willing to give me a hand.”

5. Why is Peng able to understand the hard life of the disabled people？

A. He was born disabled.

B. He has a disabled friend.

C. He lives with his disabled grandparents.

D. He once read a book about the disabled.

c. Interviewing many disabled people.

7. What does the underlined word “bilingual” in Paragraph 6 mean？

A. Written in two languages.

B. Using different pictures.

C. Very easy to understand.

D. Much popular around the world.

8. Which of the following can best describe Peng？

Do you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself？ You are so busy with work and school and there is little time left to do something that you enjoy. Maybe the followings can help you to find ways to slow down and enjoy your life.

Evenings with Yourself. Try to save certain weeknights just for you. If others ask you to do something else， just tell them your plans. Use the time for gardening， reading or doing exercise.

Monthly Treat. Schedule a treat for yourself once a month. Maybe you can go to see a movie， have a haircut， play golf or whatever treat youre always thinking about but rarely get to.

Buy Tickets in Advance. Sports， theater， concerts or any other event you would enjoy. Schedule the plans with a friend later. Having the tickets already in hand will force you to make it happen！

Join a Group. Here are some ideas of groups that can allow you some time away from work and study： singing group， book club， biking/walking/running/etc. clubs， ski club， etc. What are you interested in？ Look up a club in your area today and join！ If you cant find a club， consider starting one by yourself！

Exercise. For busy people it can be difficult to make time for this. All you have to do is to decide today and then make it a reality tomorrow. A new habit is started with just one step. Take that first step tomorrow. Walk for 20 minutes in the morning. Then build on that success daily.

Do you love holidays but hate the increasing weight that follows？ You are not alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people， however， are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning， though， it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast （宴會）， have a small， low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited when facing delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth， try mints （薄荷） and fruits. They dont have as much fat content as cream and chocolate.

Dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess （過多的） calories.

If you are having trouble falling asleep， you are in good company. About 65% of Americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week， according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation. Sleeping too little can lead to a higher risk of becoming fat and getting depressed （沮喪的）. But before you go to a doctor for advice， it is worth examining your sleeping habits one more time. Some of your favorite evening habits may have something to do with the sleeping problems.

Setting a Bright Alarm Clock

The light of your bright alarm clock can prevent you from falling asleep. You can make your room as dark as possible. Cover the bright numbers with a book or consider buying a small travel clock. Your cellphone alarm may also do the trick.

Counting Sheep

When you just cant fall asleep， its useless to stay in bed to count sheep. If youve been trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes， the National Sleep Foundation suggests you get up to do some reading or watch TV for a while. Such activities will make you sleepy. Before you know it， youll be going back to bed really tired.

Exercising Late at Night

Daytime exercises will keep you full of energy for hours. Thats why you dont want to exercise within three hours of hitting the sack. Fierce （劇烈的） physical activities raise your body temperature and improve your energy level—both are bad for a good nights sleep.

1. What can we infer from the first sentence of the text？

A. Its not good to fail to fall asleep at night.

B. There are many people who have sleeping problems.

C. People in a good company often have sleeping problems.

D. You can find someone to talk to if you cant fall asleep.

2. What is suggested if you cant fall asleep at night？

A. Counting sleep. B. Doing some exercise.

C. Watching TV for a while. D. Shutting your cellphone.

3. What does the underlined part “hitting the sack” mean？

A. Going to bed. B. Going back home.

C. Going to the gym. D. Going to the movies.

4. The text is mainly about how to ___ .

A. form some good habits

B. solve sleeping problems

C. enjoy a good nights sleep

D. get rid of some sleeping habits

One morning when we were walking along the beach and enjoying sunshines， someone strongly advised us to go water skiing. And I didnt dare to face the challenge because it seemed danger. My friends all encouraged me， so I finally joined in them. At first， I couldnt stop scream in fright. Later I enjoyed myself and found it amazed.
