Convenience Foods

　　Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more convenience foods．These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared．Many of them are frozen, such as frozen dinner, heated-serve French fries, and frozen pizzas．There are also many canned convenience foods, such as ready-made spaghetti, soups, stews, and vegetables．

　　Convenience foods save time and trouble．They are popular with people who are busy or who don' t like to cook or wash dishes．But they often cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives．Also, many people feel they don't taste as good as home-cooked foods．

Health Food and Co-ops

　　In the 1960s, a "back-to-the-earth" movement was started by young people in the United States．The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology．From the movement came a new understanding of food and health．Many people now prefer natural and Organic(有机物)foods to the prepared foods sold in health food stores and in food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store．In co-ops, food is usually not packaged．Customers bring their own bags and jars and take their food out of boxes or baskets．

The Diet Craze(节食热)

　　These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight．Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business．

　　American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods such as diet soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings．Dieters also spend money on diet pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服)．Each year dozens of new diets are popularized．They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的)Diet, the Nine-day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet．There is even one called the Ice Cream Diet, which advises dieters to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement．

完形填空

　　Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of 　　1　　, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become．You 　　2　　 know who these people maybe(possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 　　3　　 way．

　　And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful．and unfair at first, but 　　4　　 you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart．

　　Everything happens for a reason．Nothing happens 　　5　　 or by means of good luck．Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul．　　6　　 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere．It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 　　7　　．The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become．

　　Even the 　　8　　 experiences can be learned from．In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones．If someone hurts you, 　　9　　 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart．If someone loves you, love them back 　　10　　, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 　　11　　 and eyes to things．

　　Make every day count．　　12　　 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again．Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen．Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high．Hold your head up because you have 　　13　　 right to．Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you．You can make of your life anything you wish．Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 　　14　　．

　　Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have 　　15　　．And learn a lesson in life each day that you live．

　　That's the story of life．

I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can 　36 to have an animal. It is different here.

　　 In Canada it is 　37　 for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping 　38 pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.　　 Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a 　39 --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out 　40 onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The 　41　 will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow 　42 . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is 　43 for a longer time than we may have left.

　 I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a　 44 creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a 　45 and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by 　46 unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a 47 place if people could learn how to do that.
