Some people would have you believe that being fat is the worst thing you can be. They think that if a person is fat they have no life, no love, no reason to want to look good in their clothes. The sad thing is that many people who are fat do feel the same loathing toward themselves and others who are overweight or obese.

I know what Im talking about because I have been there. I have been that fat girl who wore big T-shirts to cover my sins. Forget style. Forget fashion sense. I absolutely had none. I didnt even bother getting haircuts for years, just wore my hair long and straight, pulled back in a ponytail, I have to wonder if the reason the fashion industry has ignored plus sized women and children for so long is because plus sized people, feeling they couldnt possibly look great, didnt bother shopping for new clothes, and therefore no profit was to be found by producing those sizes.

For me, the change that improved my outer look actually started with my outlook on life. I started by being grateful for all I do have, like great health, a stable family, a steady income, freedom, a decent home, the ability to see the trees turn orange in the fall, to hear my grandson humming in the back seat, to remember the great times Ive had in my life.

I started to focus on all the positive aspects of the life I already had. I actually started to feel the beauty of the Universe all around me and to realize that I am part of that perfection. The self loathing stopped. I noticed all the people in my life who loved me in spite of my size. I got off the pity pot and smiled at myself. I acknowledged my shame and embarrassment and moved through that too.

Rabbits are easy to raise. The long-eared animals are clean and quiet. They do not need a lot of room. And you do not have to spend a lot of money to feed them.1One male and two females will produce in a year as many as fifty more rabbits. That is enough to provide a good supply of meat for a family.2

Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire fencing material. They do not have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep. Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square. 3This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry. Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.

4 Feeding containers hung on the outside of the house let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the wire fence.

Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over. 5

One month after mating, female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months, a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family.

A. Or you can tie the containers to the wire.

B. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat.

C. Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves.

D. Rabbits are also valuable for their fur.

E. Wastes from the animals will drop through the holes.

【题目】 Earth Day has come and gone, but it’s a fact of daily life that 1.6 billion people around would have no electricity in their homes. Instead, most of them use wood, coal or even animal waste to heat and cook in their homes ,which also gives off greenhouse gases, causing indoor air pollution that kills 1.6million people a year, most of whom are children and women.

It’s not expected to improve much, and in Africa it’s becoming worse now. By 2030, when the Earth’s population will be likely to top 8billion, 1.3 billion people will still lack electricity. Of those, 700 million will be in Africa, and 490 million in South Asia.

Ghana, in West Africa, most of the northern half of the country lives without lights.

Like most others around the world in the same situation, these Ghanans use traditional fuels( wood, coal, animal waste) to meet their cooking needs.

What would electricity for everyone around the world cost? The International Energy Agency, which is made up of 28 member countries, figures it would run35 billion dollars a year from 2008 to 2030 to reach that.

【题目】A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.

Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won’t agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.

“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”

The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”

So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.

【1】Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?

A. Because it is easier to understand.

B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.

C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.

D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.

【2】The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.

A. young smokers B. smokers in Ireland and Belgium

C. all smokers D. young smokers’ friends

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.

B. Many smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.

C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.

D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.

What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
