Part 1 You'll lose more weight by eating a healthy diet. Don't eat sugar, and take honey instead. If you want to lose weight quickly, here are two diets for you-and you really won't feel hungry. The first one, you must drink eight glasses of water per day. You mustn't eat anything not included in the list below. You can eat meat with no fat, cheeses and eggs. They must not be cooked with oil, butter or any fat. The second one, put the juice of two oranges into a bowl. Beat two eggs and add them to the oranges. Add a spoon of oil, then one litre of milk . Whenever you feel hungry, drink a glass of the above. Don't do the above diet for more than a day at a time. You mustn't follow either diet without your doctor's advice. Part 2 Five people are talking about their accidents. 1．I was in a chemistry Lesson. I was carefully looking at something on the lab table and my hair caught fire. Luckily I wasn't badly hurt. Next time I will tie my hair back before I go into the lab, long hair can be dangerous . 2．I was in a car accident. It was terrible when we were waiting at some traffic lights and a truck came up behind us very fast. It couldn't atop and hit the back of our car. I hurt my neck quite badly in the accident. I think the driver of the truck was going too fast. 3．I was trying to milk a new cow which we have just bought. She didn't like me. First she kicked me and then she put her foot on mine. I've got a lot of pain in my foot and can't walk on it. I think I've broken a bone, or maybe several bones. 4．I was playing in a football match. Two of us were running towards the ball. The playground was wet, so I fell over. I broke my nose and he broke his leg. It hurts a lot. 5．I was cutting carrots and preparing dinner. My little boy pulled a thermos of hot water onto him and burnt his arm very badly. It's getting better now . Part 3 Bruce : How was your holiday, Zhou Lan?

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be
a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.

It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
